A/N I know that this is a love song and that Kensi is probably going to end up with Callen, but I was listening to my favorite song the day after Dom's last episode and I came up with this idea, and Kensi is the only girl in NCIS LA plus its friendship not romance.

I do not own any characters… and the song is by Avril Lavigne.

Dominic Vail Slipped Away

Na na
Na na na na na
I miss you
Miss you so bad

Kensi felt tears coming on. She missed Dom… a lot.

I don't forget you
Oh it's so sad.

The thought that she would never see him bobble his Alien bobble head, ever again was unbearable, and Marty Deeks would never sit at Dom's desk again and he would never touch Dom's bobble head again. Well, not if she had anything to say about it that is.

I hope you can hear me
I remember it clearly.

A memory of the rooftop came to her… she could not take it anymore. She sobbed.

The day you slipped away...
Was the day I found
It, won't be the same
Oh

Her life would never again be the same… she had just lost her partner.

Na na
Na na na na na
I didn't get around to kiss you
Goodbye on the hand

Just before he had gone M.I.A the team had gone to karaoke she wished she had forced him to go but she did not.

I wish that I could see you again I know that I can't ooooooooooooh

She also wished that he did not take that stupid short cut… everyone knows short cuts are fatal… take the Donors and the Reeds for example. The Donors took a short cut on the California trail and ended up cannibals, the Reeds did not.

I hope you can hear me

"Oh Dom I'm sorry" she said.

'Cause I remember it clearly

She remembered seeing him jump in front of the bullet that was about to hit her fellow NCIS agent Sam Hanna. She saw the bullets hit him and the blood pour out. She remembered all too well seeing the look on Callen's face, telling her that it was over.

The day you slipped away...
Was the day I found
It, won't be the same
Oh

Another sob came, and more tears.

I've had my wake up
Won't you wake up
I keep asking why.

Why had they not found him sooner? Why had they made him wait for two months before finding him? He was in L.A the entire time. They had the upper hand.

And I can't take it
It wasn't fake it
It happened you passed by

But that was it, his soul had passed on to heaven, hopefully… no, definitely …he went to heaven.

Now you're gone
Now you're gone
There you go
There you go
Somewhere I can't bring you back

She could not get him back, it was not like in the myth of Orpheus, and she could not go to the underworld and take Dom back from Hades.

Now you're gone
Now you're gone
There you go
There you go
Somewhere you're not coming back

Even in the myth Orpheus had failed. It was true no one lived forever and no one came back from the dead…and ghosts didn't exist.

The day you slipped away...
Was the day I found
It, won't be the same
Oh
The day you slipped away...
Was the day I found
It, won't be the same
Oh

Her life would never be like it was, she needed him with her. He was a valued friend, but just like her father, all the men in her life, be they friends, relatives, partners, they always ended up gone.

Na na
Na na na na na

She would never forget him not ever. She would recover, but as for now…

I miss you...

…she missed him and that's how it would be.
