Forever And Always-Taylor Swift

"Where's Kensi? It's not like her to be late." Callen said to the rest of the team, everyone was supposed be at work by 7 but it was nearly 8 now and there was no sign of Kensi.

"Ms. Blye has called in sick today, she will be back tomorrow." Hetty said causing everyone to jump, she seemed to always do that when she snuck up on them when they were least expecting it.

'Why what's wrong with Kensi, she was fine yesterday when I talked to her last." Sam said worried about Kensi, just like every other member on the team even Deeks was family and when one of them was gone it left like a giant piece was missing.

"I can assure you that Ms. Blye will be fine, she just needed today off for herself." Hetty told the team, she knew however that this wasn't the end of the issue. You could say a lot of things about this team but one thing that you can't is that they don't care.

"Crime never sleeps, come on we have a case." Eric tells the team as they make their up the stairs and into the OP center to get the details on the latest case.

Callen and Sam were off trying to get a clue for the new case that they were assigned to, that's when Deeks found himself alone he glanced around the bullpen wit was way too quiet. He missed Kensi; things just didn't feel right without her there. He was worried too, worried about Kensi. She would tell him if something was making her sick but he got no information.

"Why don't you go check on her Mr. Deeks?" Hetty asked sneaking up behind Deeks causing him to jump a mile out of his skin. All he could do was nod as he collected his things and left hoping to get to Kensi's as soon as possible.

Kensi had been lying on the couch all day she had barely moved. The one things that got her to move was the sound of someone knocking on her door. At first she tried to ignore it but whoever it was just kept knocking. Slowly she picked herself up off the coach and opened the door. Kensi cursed herself for not thinking that it would be her partner at her door sooner.

'Fern I decided to come see if you're alive or in need of a sponge bath." Deeks told Kensi trying to brighten the mood, usually he got a sly smile out of Kensi whenever he started some banter but there was nothing there not even a curl of the lips.

"I'm fine Deeks you can go now." Kensi said wanting to get Deeks out of her apartment as soon as possible, she didn't want him to see her like this so broken.

"Kens I've known you for a long time now and I can tell when something is wrong with my partner. Right now I don't care if you tell me what's going on or not but I am not going anywhere you need someone and I'm right here." Deeks explained to Kensi, he could tell that the women standing in front of him wasn't the Kensi that he was used too this was a whole new side of her that Deeks had never seen before.

'You really wanna know?" Kensi asked, she wasn't sure if she was ready for Deeks to know all the demons she had in her closet but she was going to trust him.

"Kensi there isn't anything about you that I wouldn't want to know.' Deeks knew that it might sound corny but it was true. In his eyes there was nothing that could change his mind on who Kensi was.

"Today is the day when I first met Jack. It's a stupid reason to stay home from work I know but every year on this day I just can't seem to get out of the house. Every year there is a small part of me that wished that Jack would come back. I don't hate him for what he did I know that I probably should but I don't because I can understand the fact that he wasn't himself anymore. But the thing that gets me every time is the fact that he left without a trace." Kensi explained to Deeks as they sat on her sofa, this was the first time she was telling anyone about what was between her and ack. Sam and Callen knew bits and pieces but not the whole story she assumed that Hetty knew because she does know everything. Deeks was the only one that knew everything from the start to finish.

Once she was done telling Deeks about every little detail that had made today so hard Kensi could feel the tears forming behind her eyes just waiting to get out. She tried to blink them back but they ran down her cheeks despite the fight she put it. Deeks looked at Kensi with a look mixed with sadness and a want to take all the pain she was feeling and make it go away.

Deeks did the only things that he could think of at the moment, hoping that Kensi wouldn't punch him in the process. Slowly Deeks snaked his arms around his partner, to his surprise Kensi wrapped her own arms around Deeks holding him as tight as she could. Deeks whispered comforting words in her ear trying to get Kensi calm down. This was the first time Deeks has seen Kensi full out cry before, sure there had been some tears here and there but nothing like this.

Eventually Kensi stopped crying and her breathing slowed. In the middle of what had become a peaceful silence Deeks heard Kensi let out a unmistakable snort she only made when she was sleeping. In that same moment Deeks had gotten a text form OPS saying that he was needed back to solve the remainder of the case. Carefully he removed his limbs from Kensi's and covered her with a blanket.

Kensi woke up not knowing what was going on. She searched for Deeks thinking that he was still in her apartment. It wasn't until she reached the kitchen that she seen the note that he had left for her.

"Dear Fern,

I had to go back to OPS. I'll be back after work.
