A/N: I don't own anything you recognize. Everything else is mine.

Chapter 2

A week and half later I was released. Tony and I walked out to the car. I had a little trouble with the seatbelt due to the fact my left arm was in sling due to my chipped shoulder.

"Do you like Chinese food?"

"Sure, I really don't care."

"Okay. I love this place. Stay here I'll be back in a second. "Tony got out; I set the seat back and fell asleep. When I woke up, a pillow laid under my head and I was covered by a blanket. I sat up and looked around. I was laying on a couch in a living room.

"You hungry?" a voiced called out. I jumped and turned around. Tony held out a takeout box. I shook my head. I really didn't want to eat.

"Then let me show you to your room." Tony said, and walked away. I got up and followed him. My room was all white. Everything was white except for the furniture.

"Maybe we could re-do some time." I just nod.

"I'm going for a walk." I said, turning towards the door.

"Oh, no you don't." Tony said, he stopped eating and blocked me from leaving."You just got out of the hospital. I'm told that you need rest. So, no walking. You haven't eaten. "

I roll my eyes and turn towards the kitchen. I grabbed a box of Teriaki chicken and went back to my room. I shut the door and blasted music and I noticed a laptop sat on the desk. I opened it and logged on the internet. I looked around the internet. I went to my friends' MySpace pages. Then I went to mine. They all left messages asking where I was and what was going on. I logged off for the final time. Swearing I wasn't going to log back on ever.

"You made the right choice. Not answering their messages." I jumped out my chair and fell on the floor. Tony was standing right behind my chair.

"Sorry, didn't mean to scare you."

"Whatever."

"I'm told to make sure you do your breathing treatments. Here"

"Thanks." I said taking the bag he handed me. Tony left the room.

"Kelly! Open this door or I'll break it down." I groggily got up and opened the door.

"What's with all the noise?"

"Get dressed; you're coming to work with me today." He said.

"What? Why?!"

"Cause I said so. You have 5 minutes."Tony turned and walked back to his room. I shut the door and got dressed.

"You're late." Gibbs said as we walked in the bull pin.

"It won't happen again." Tony said, looking at me.

"I'm going to see Abby" I said as I walked away.

During lunch, Tony took me and gave me money to order pizza. I watched TV, did my prescribed breathing treatments, and then fell asleep.

I woke up there was no sign of Tony but I was lying in my bed. I walked into the kitchen and I noticed there was a note on the fridge.

Kelly,

Left early for work. Food in the fridge. See ya.

-T-

I went to her room and got dressed. I shut the door of their condo and walked down the street.

When time came around for school to start up again, Tony enrolled her in the closest junior high. Kelly was entering eighth grade. Tony dropped her off the first day, leaving her with instructions that he would pick her up after school. Kelly kept to herself, and when it came down to lunch she went outside and ate by herself.

"Want some company?" Kelly looked up to see a girl with red hair standing next to her with a tray of food.

"Sure. " The girl set down her backpack and sat down.

"My name is Abigail but I go by Abby. I figured you needed a friend."

"My name is Kelly and yea I do because I just moved in with my brother. I don't know anyone here." Kelly said

"Well, I guess that isn't a problem anymore. I moved here a couple years ago. Hey, what class do you have next?"

"Choir. You?"

"Orchestra. Hey, can I see your schedule?"

"Yea." Kelly handed her a half sheet of paper.

"We have 1st, 3rd, 4th, lunch, 7th together. " Abby said, handing it back to her. When the bell rang the girls walked down to the music department. Kelly walked silently into the choir room. Abby was waiting for Kelly outside the choir room. Together they walked over to math. Tony never showed up to pick her up, so Kelly decided to walk home. Along the way, she met Derik Larson, an eighth grade boy who she had 2nd hour with and they lived in to same Condo building.

"Tony? Aren't you supposed to go get Kelly?" Abby said she wondered why he was still there usually she and Gibbs was the last to leave.

"Shoot! I completely forgot about that. Bye Abby," Tony said as he grabbed his gear then ran to the car. Kelly got out of school at 2:35; it was now 6:30. Man, he was late. When he drove by the school, there were no lights on and no people were around. Great. Tony speed the entire way home, he ran all the way up the 8th floor of their building. When he opened the door, Kelly was laying on the couch asleep. He relaxed knowing that she was safe. He quietly set his stuff down and went over to the sleeping girl. He picked her up and carried her to her room. After making sure she was asleep, Tony went into the kitchen to see a bowl of pasta waiting for him.

"Your home? I wasn't expecting you until later." Kelly said from the door making him jump.

"I'm sorry about forgetting you, I just got caught up in work."

"It's fine. I made it home okay. The family across the hall has a kid about my age, and so we walked back together. We decided to walk to and from school together. "
