UNBREAK MY HEART

Chapter 2

A/N

So here it is, the second chapter to my first fanfic story. And thank you all for all the liking and the reviews, I really appreciated it, made me so glad. To be honest I didn't think for a million years that people was gonna like this story. But I'm glad you guys did.

So…I have a lot to do this weekend. I'm starting college in a couple of weeks and my family is having a house party. Therefore, I won't be able to upload this story this weekend. I'm gonna try and upload for next weekend, maybe even more than one chapter if I have the time of course.

Thank you and enjoy! Let me know what you guys think of this one!

Two months has passed since Jenny was hospitalized. Now she's all better, at least that's what people around her thought, even Gibbs. Psychically she was fine, but emotionally she was still battling the battle of her heart. She often thought of what happened between her and Jethro. Since the hospital none of them have talked to each other, let alone look at each other's eyes. Other than work related stuff, there was nothing to be said between them.

Jenny was riding the elevator up to her office. She came in rather late because she needed the rest, according to her doctor/ex-boyfriend, Todd. When the elevator stopped she stepped out of it not realizing what floor it was. When she stepped out of it she saw Gibbs' team working a case. 'Must be a new case, maybe he'll brief me on it later' she thought to herself. That is not something she'll look forward to. While passing by the team she kept her head up high, straight with confidence without looking aside, just forward. And Gibbs kept his eyes at the papers on his desk. Although his team realized that this awkwardness has gone too far. Leaving three agents looking at one another.

"What's up with the Director boss? She seemed a bit down don't you think?" Tony tried to make Gibbs get attention to the situation. But of course Gibbs didn't seem to care, so Tony gave up and got back to work. But deep down, the only thing on his mind was Jenny and her health. But right now he was back with Hollis Mann again after he and Dr. Ryan broke up. Hollis came back from her retirement and wanted another shot with Gibbs, and Gibbs didn't seem to mind back then. He wanted took take his mind off Jenny. He wanted to focus more on this relationship with Hollis, but both his mind and heart were always with Jenny Shepard. And both he and Hollis knew that but they both ignored it and tried whatsoever to make this work one more time. Jenny of course hasn't always been alone. She dated a couple of guys to prove to both herself and Gibbs that she could move on from him. But none of the men she dated lasted more than a week.

"Boss! I found colonel Starks phone records and it seems that he have been talking to his ex-girlfriend quite a while. One of the calls lasted for a whole hour, during his T.O.D (time of death)" McGee said with a happy face, then turned to DiNozzo to annoy him for finding the lead first. Tony chuckled and rolled his eyes, trying to convince himself that he didn't care. Ziva giggled.

"Well…what are you waiting for 'Elflord'" Gibbs said amusing himself. Tony laughed out loud when he heard McGee's nickname.

"Grab your gear McGee. And take DiNozzo with you" Gibbs continued. When the two left the squad room Gibbs turned to Ziva. "Ziver!" Ziva looked up at Gibbs.

"I'm briefing the director about the case, be right back" Gibbs told her as he walked towards the stairs. Ziva nodded and kept her eyes on him until he was out of sight, worried about what the two would argue about once he gets up there.

Director's office

Gibbs passed Cynthia's section and before Cynthia could tell him that the Director was busy at the moment, Gibbs held out his hand to stop her, and then he disappeared into the director's office. He opened the door and found Jenny reading her e-mail on the computer. Jenny looked up realized it was Gibbs, trying to maintain herself.

"What can I do for you special agent Gibbs?" She asked firmly without looking away from her computer.

"I'm briefing you about our current case Director" Gibbs replied trying to hold his serious look on his face.

"Okay…Go ahead" Jenny said, still didn't look up from what she was doing.

"We have a suspect, possibly our killer. Colonel Starks' ex-girlfriend. She called him during the murder. My team is currently bringing her in as we speak. Considering her past with him, she had motive for killing him." Gibbs said with his head up high.

Suddenly Director Shepard took of her glasses and looked up and met his eyes with an angry look on her face. Gibbs stared at her confused.

"You have a murderer who murder Colonel Stark? So soon?"

"Well we have been working on this case for a couple of days now Director" Gibbs said with a little sarcasm in his voice, still staring at her.

"You had this case for a couple of days?!" She said with an angry voice. "And you didn't bother telling me when you first got it!?" Now she was so angry that she could punch him in the face right there. But she controlled herself. Who was he anyway?! Think she still his probie? She was his boss now. The roles are reversed. She was not his probie anymore; he can't just ignore such thing. She was the Director of NCIS and she seems to always have to remind him of that.

"You should not wait a couple of days later to brief me about a case like this Agent Gibbs, because you were too lazy to get up on your sorry ass, up those stairs and to my office!" Jenny practically screamed at him. "I'm your Boss, and as your boss I should know about every case you get, first things first! Do I make myself clear special agent Gibbs!?"

Gibbs stood still, almost shocked of what just happened at the moment. Of course she had to bring the 'I'm your boss speech' what was the big deal anyway; it was just a couple of days late.

"Well we had a lot to do, and besides you seemed to be occupied to me director!" He shouted back at her.

"That's no excuse for your behavior Agent Gibbs!" she replied right back at him.

Now Gibbs was tired of this game. He slammed his fist on her desk, making Jenny jump a little and stared at him for misbehaving himself. Jenny was still sitting on her chair.

"Okay…let's put all the cards on the table Jen, we're alone in this room." He said to her with a whispering voice but with a lot of anger in it, tried to get to the bottom with this problem they had with each other once and for all.

Meanwhile outside the Office, down the Bullpen

Ziva stood up between her and Tony's desk, worried about her father figure and her friend arguing with each other. At the same time, the elevator door opened and out came Tony and Tim who looked confused at Ziva from her back.

"Zee-vah! What's up my mossad ninja chic?" Tony said with a chuckle. "What are you looking at?" He continued to ask her when she didn't answer his first question. Now both Tony and McGee stood on each side of her and looked at the same direction as she did and understood what was going on.

"How long have they been going on" Tim said and let out a heavy breathing. The three of them looked worried. How long was this going to go on? When is this conflict between them going to end? Then Abby came into the squad room with the results from a knife about their case.

"Hey guys!" Abby said happily, kept her eyes at the test result without looking up. "You were so right; the blood on this murder weapon was definitely from Colonel Stark's ex-girlfriend. She killed him!" She said and jumped of joy that this case was finally over. But her smile faded away when she realized that they weren't paying attention to her. Then Abby looked at their eyes and followed it with her own. And with that she didn't have to ask them what the hell was going on. She understood.

"Mommy and daddy are fighting again." She said with a sad face. Tony, Ziva and McGee all nodded at the same time. And the four of them continued to stare up the director's office.

Back at the office

"What are you talking about Gibbs!?" Jenny asked innocently, but knowing the answer to her question herself.

"You know what I'm talking about Director" once again Gibbs whispered to her. "let's get it all out right now, and end this because I can't take any more of this crap from you" he said angrily and raised his voice.

"I don't have anything to say to you Jethro!" Jenny said with her head down, not wanna meet his eyes.

"Well I have something to say to you Jen!" He said pointing a finger at her. "I'm tired and sick of this, you and me; I don't know where we're going with this 'relationship'". "You hurted me after Paris, Then you showed up here, back into my life again and then with your 'no off the job rule' you hurt me once again". He said without taking a breath. "I'm not a toy you can play around with whenever you want to" Jethro shouted at her not taking his finger of her face.

"And frankly…I'm glad you left me in Paris, because that means you left me, you gave up on us, you're the one to blame, not me" He continued to shout at her. "And don't think that you can crawl back into my arms later when you realized what you did, because I won't welcome you into it!" He said to her one final time.

Jethro stood there, trying to get some oxygen in his lungs, watching her, waiting for her to say something, maybe beg him for forgiveness for leaving him after all these years. But as he continued to watch her, tears began floating down her red cheeks. Jenny quickly wiped her tears away with heavy hands, angry at him for his words. He didn't know a god damn thing about what happened to her in Paris! How dare he accuse her of something that didn't happen, accusing her for not loving him all these years? If he didn't know that she loved him, then he didn't know her at all. And here she thought he was the one who knew her the best. She was the one who wanted to be by his side instead of his 'girlfriends'.

Jenny finally stood up. She had both her hands on her desk, tried to squeeze it. Tears dropping down on her hands then continued running down on her desk. She tried to gain herself some strength to stand up to him. And finally she did.

"How dare you!?" she let out with a whisper. "You have no idea what I went through in Paris! What I have to do to make you safe all these years!" Gibbs looked at her with a confused look, not knowing what the hell she were saying or meant by it. Then Jenny pointed at the door and said:

"Get out! Get out of my sight! I don't wanna look at you right now, because I'm afraid I will do something stupid. You disgusted me with your words Jethro, so get the hell out of here!" she screamed at him with her face looking at him full of tears and anger. And Gibbs could see how scared she was. She wasn't going to forgive him now, not after this. This has gone too far.

Jethro immediately regretted what he said to her. He didn't know what he was saying at the heating moment. He only focused on his anger at her and not the loving side he had for her. He wanted to take it all back, but it was too late to change it now. Jenny may not even forgive him for what he did. And he would forever live with what he said to hurt her more than she hurt him.

He reached out his hand and touched her face. "Jen" He said with a soft and sad voice to her. But Jenny brushed his hand off her face rather quickly. Jethro didn't do anything but to get her what she wanted, and that was for him to get out of her sight. So that's what he did, he walked towards the door and grapped the door knot, but stopped and turned around to see her one last time before he left her to be alone. All he could see was that she was crying, and this was something very rare for him to see. Jenny Shepard never cried, Jenny Shepard is a strong and independent woman. When he finally closed the door behind him, he met with Cynthia's eyes, she didn't reply but rather looked sad for the two of them, and hoped that some wonderful day, they'll work it out.

Down at the bullpen

Tony, Ziva, McGee and Abby, all watched Gibbs as he walked down the stairs slowly, and occasionally he would look back at the direction of Jen's office, wanted to comfort her, hold her, kiss her and say to her that everything is going to be okay. He wanted that so badly. When he finally came down and met with his team's eyes, all he could say was: "What?"

"Eeeh…nothing boss" Tony was the one who spoke up.

Gibbs looked around. "Where's our suspect?" He said with a tired voice and rubbing his forehead.

"Uuuh…She's in interrogation room boss, Abby confirmed that she's our murderer" McGee answered his question when no one did.

"Good. Tony, you do the interrogation today, get a confession out of her and then go home, all of ya" Gibbs said as he walked to the elevator. The three agents and Abby was standing there all stunned, didn't know how to handle this themselves. Mommy and Daddy needs to get back together! Like, right now! The kids couldn't take any more of this!

Gibbs' house, the basement

It was late in the evening and Gibbs was trying to work on his boat quietly. Working on his boat was a way to try getting his mind off of Jenny and their problems. But that didn't really seem to work, because Jenny was everywhere. He sanded his boat up and down harshly with his hands. Then he thought of him and Jenny in her office arguing with each other, and he suddenly slammed both of his hands on the boat, hard. He wanted to beat himself out for what he did to her. He was so angry at her back in the office that he didn't know what ugly words that came out of his mouth. As he rested his forehead on the side of his half finishing boat, he heard footsteps, in the hallway. He looked up, hoping it was Jenny who would take him back. But who was he kidding. He was hoping for too much. Down the stairs came his current girlfriend, Hollis Mann.

"Jethro" She replied with a smile on her face as she came down the stairs. But Jethro just looked back on his boat again, didn't want anyone than his own Jenny right now. Gibbs sighted. He really didn't need this right now. Hollis Mann was wearing her uniform; she put her arms around his waist from behind, feeling his tense. She also felt that he was trying to brush her off.

"Are you okay Gibbs?" She asked him. He waited what felt like forever to answer her back.

"Yea, I'm fine, just tired I guess. Difficult case that's all" He said and sucked his teeth.

"Okay…I just came by to see you, have to go back though. We have a meeting with our boss about a difficult OP we're working on. Can't tell you anything about it though." She said and let out a small laughter. But that laugh faded away quickly when Jethro said: "I didn't ask you" at the same time annoyed with her for invading his personal space.

Hollis released her grip around his waist and looked down at her feet. Rubbing her neck and forehead. She knew exactly what was going on. From the first day they had gotten back together, two months ago. He was thinking of her again. Jenny Shepard, that's who was on his mind all the time. And the more he thought of her, the more Hollis was losing him to her. Here she was, trying to build something with him, and all he does it to push her over the edge.

"Jethro…I'm trying here. I'm trying so hard to make this relationship work one more time. But it takes two you know"

"I know Hol, I know" He replied with a tiring voice.

"I'm going to leave for work now, and when I come back, I want to see you smile. I want you to be happy when you see me walking in this house tonight" "At least you could try to be happy" Hollis Mann said with a soft whispering voice on the last sentence. She really does love him, in more than one way. And she was going to make it happen, whatever it takes to make this relationship work once again. She wanted another shot with him. And she got it, and she wasn't gonna let it go without a fight. Not to someone like Jenny Shepard. Hollis headed up the stairs, and in just a few seconds she was out of his sight, at least for a couple of hours. Jethro got his attention back to his boat; after all, his attention never left the boat.

Meanwhile at Jenny's House

Director Shepard's town car drove up the high way. Her security detail opened up the door for her gently. "Thank you Melvin, Stanley" She nodded to both of them.

"Same time tomorrow Director?" Melvin asked her as he closed the car door.

"Yes Melvin, same time tomorrow." She replied with a small smile on her face. Jenny walked slowly towards the door to her house and took out her keys and opened the door slowly and walked in. She breathed in the air heavily, smelled her favorite dish, Paella. Noemi must have cooked it for her before she left. Jenny smiled, lucky that her housekeeper is taken such good care of her after all these years as her housekeeper. Since her father died, Noemi was the only family she had left. And for that she was forever grateful. Jenny sat at the kitchen table, eating a bit of the Paella. It was delicious as always, but she couldn't find the appetite for it right now. The fight she had with Gibbs took all of her will power away. And she was exhausted. Instead she headed for the bedroom, changed into her night gown and crawled under the sheets. She sat up in the bed and took out a picture from the night drawer beside her big bed, it was a picture of a fetus. She looked at it with her eyes full of tears; she hugged it, laid down on the bed and fell asleep while holding the picture.

So here it was, the second chapter all done. I'm leaving you all with a little mystery at the end ^^

What do you think? How was it? Too much drama in it?

Well…I'm the kind of girl who loves a lot of drama in a story, so that's why there is so much drama and angst in this one, and I guess I have a lot of it inside of me and have to get it out somehow. Hope You'll like it so far!
