CHAPTER 3: WAITING AT THE HOSPITAL...

TIM'S P.O.V.

I don't remember getting to the car or the ride, but I do remember sitting down in the waiting room.

"Tim, she will make it and she will be okay. You're not alone, I'm here." Abby said putting her hands on either side of my face and I still felt the tears.

She wrapped her arms around me again and I gratefully returned the hug.

I had seen the look on her face and I knew she loved me...

Not like a puppy...as she had told me in the past, but really loved me. After a minute, I felt her pull away.

"I have something to go do and it won't take long. Will you be okay for a minute?" Abby asked and I just nodded.

I didn't want her to go, but it seemed I had lost my voice and couldn't talk.

She got up and after giving my hand a gentle squeeze, she left the waiting room. I knew she had gone to tell Gibbs.

I was lost in my memories, happier times growing up...

My parents alive...

Sarah, my little sister full of life...

Mom always there and the Admiral when he wasn't working.

'How would I tell, Sarah that our parents were dead? What if she didn't make it; what if I lost them all? My entire family.

I still had my grandmother, Penny. I had lost my parents and now...now I might lose my sister too.'

Sarah had only a few years ago, covered in blood...

FLASHBACK *

"I think I killed someone, Tim." Sarah had said.

*END FLASHBACK

I had done everything I could to protect her and clear her name. In the end it turned out, she had been set up and was found innocent.

Then today...my parents and Sarah had been in an accident.

'Where had they gone? What had happened?'

I was never going to talk to or see my parents again. Would I ever be able to talk to, Sarah again?

Then a thought ran through my mind...Protect her.

I had broken a promise I made years ago.

FLASHBACK *

"Always protect your sister no matter what." My father said as I looked down at my new baby sister.

"I promise." I said.

*END FLASHBACK

I felt a hand on my shoulder and looked up, Abby held a cup out to me.

"Thanks." I said taking the cup as Abby took the seat she had been sitting in beside me.
