Hi everyone.

So first off thanks everyone who reviewed me kindly. I appreciate the support and understanding. This is just a better way of telling the story. I am glad you all are so kind.

Oh, I am trying to keep the story as error free as I can but I think I abused my backspace button cause it broke. deleting is a bit tougher now so please don't harass me. I promise you I am doing my best always.

Once again, not bashing any character. I love Tony and I love reading stories here about his brotherly bond with Tim. This story is about how Tony loves to prank and tease his little bro and how an accident could end their friendship forever.

The ambulance soon arrived and loaded Tim. "We don't have much room so only one of you may accompany your friend" a paramedic told the two.

"You go Tony, you need it more than me" Ziva said immediately. Tony nodded.

"Sure Z…you know it is okay…"

"Just go Tony! we don't have time for my feelings, Tim's life is on the line!" she replied sharply.

Tony only nodded again. "Yeah…your right…call everyone and tell them were heading to Bethesda" he said weakly.

Tony climbed in and the doors were shut. He grabbed Tim's hand and squeezed it.

"Just hang in there probie…you'll be okay" he whispered.

Tim nodded. "What…happens…after…Tony? How…" Tim asked but couldn't continue. He took a shallow breath and cringed.

Tony shrugged. "We'll worry about that later…right now we got to get you bandaged up" he said holding back new tears.

"What…ever…you…you should…of…went…" Tim slurred off again couldn't finish.

His body ached so much. It was painful to move or speak. But it wasn't only physical pain that caused Tim misery.

He pulled his hand away from Tony. Tim hissed as he did but he worked through it. He had to keep some distance from his so called friend.

Tim let tears fall as his hand screamed at him in pain for moving. His wrist was very bruised and discolored. It was possibly broken from the fight.

Tony felt the loss of connection hard to handle. The pain it caused his probie was even more unbearable.

He couldn't believe he allowed his anger to reach this far. He had already allowed Ziva and himself to hurt Tim. He made him ride in the back and bounce around like a doll.

Now he had put Tim in critical danger. He allowed his partner to get seriously injured. Something Tony prided himself on being able to stop.

He had taken the plague and the blast of a car bomb yet he allowed a few crazy men beat Tim. Beat him till he stopped breathing. Tim had allowed him to get away with stupid pranks. He allowed his teasing and juvenile antics.

Tony was sure Tim wasn't going to just let this one slide. Tony let tears fall again as he realized just how much he truly loved Timothy McGee. He cried as he realized he had probably lost him forever for his biggest and stupidest mistake.

"Tim…please…please don't…I…I need…" Tony begged. His voice shook and he hoped Tim would throw him a line.

Tim only stared at him with empty, cold, unforgiving eyes. They stabbed him like sharp knives. "Sure…now…now you need…" he tried and coughed.

"Damn…look…look what…" Tim tried and then gasped as he couldn't catch his breath.

"Easy Tim!" A paramedic said soothingly. He put an oxygen mask on Tim's face. He then grabbed his hand and massaged it to calm the agent.

"Easy…just relax Tim…" he soothed softly and gently. Tim nodded and focused on breathing and trying to relax.

The paramedic then glared sharply at Tony. "What the hell is your problem?" he spat. "You told me you were his best friend, yet you're acting more like his worst enemy…exactly what is your definition of a best friend?" The paramedic added.

It stunned the agent. For a moment at least. "Of course I am his friend!" he yelled.

The paramedic raised a brow and Tony growled. "Don't judge me, you only just met me" he spat back.

Inside though Tony was shaking. The man's words repierced where Tim's cold stare had ripped through the agent's heart.

'Who are you kidding Anthony?' A cold, heartless voice asked. 'You know damn well this is your friendship with Tim, the only time you ever seem to care is when Tim is hurting…the rest of the time you spend making him miserable'

"But…there just… jokes" Tony murmured.

"I don't know who your talking to kid, I don't know you, or what happened…but I do know if this happened because of a joke…I'd dump your ass in a heartbeat" the man said.

"But…I…"Tony stammered.

The ambulance arrived at the hospital. Tony got out and watched the paramedic harassing Tony and his partner took Tim out.

Tony got out of the way and continued to cry. "I am so sorry Tim…I thought big brothers were supposed to tease little brothers, pull dumb harmless pranks….I never wanted you to get hurt…you have to believe that" he said.

Tim didn't answer this time. He just stared at him. Tony couldn't tell if he believed him.

Tony followed to the waiting room. He sank into a chair and put his head in his hands.

"My god…what the hell do I do now?" He muttered.

On a side note, anyone seen the movie the Avengers? I just did today with my mom. It was pretty cool I guess. I just can't believe Chris Evans can do such a stick in the mud Cap America after being so cool as Johnny Storm 5 years ago.

Now I know why I don't like CA. Stupid stick in the mud. I swear he is less fun than Gibbs and he is like 2 decades younger which makes it sad. Chris and Robert are hotties though. I know Rob is 47 but he is still hot. Hell Mark Harmon is 60 but he is still hot.
