"Get upstairs! Your not going to school today! I gotta go to work!" Gibbs slammed the front door and left Ziva standing in the hall. She didn't cry; she just stood staring at the door.

Ray and Gibbs argued as predicted, Gibbs left in a rage dragging Ziva with him. She got the I'm so disappointed in you and the You can tell your mother this lecture. Then she was left here on her own for the day.

Ziva pulled out her phone and began to text her boyfriend.

'Sorry about my dad, talk to you at lunch. Love you xx'

'No worries, Zee. Take care of yourself. Love you 2 xx'

Before putting her phone away she decided to text Tim and see if him and Abby got to school on time.

'Hey Tim, you and Abby get 2 school on time?'

'Huh? Abby isn't here'

'What? But you drove her, she's got to be there'

'I didn't drive her Zee, she isn't at school today. I thought she was sick'

'Your sure?'

'We ALWAYS talk between classes so I'm sure'

'Ok thanks Tim'

'When you find her, could you tell her that I need to talk to her?'

'You not gonna break up with her, are you?'

'I don't know yet, Ziva, I really don't'

'She loves you!'

'She's thirteen, I'm fifteenth, people get at us for it'

'So this is what this is about because ur in different years!'

'No, Ziva, it's not. I love her 2 but I just dunno what to do'

Ziva didn't bother answering as it pissed her off that Tim might dump her baby sister so she tossed her phone onto the kitchen table before going upstairs in a search for her sister.

"Abby!" Ziva called as she checked her sister's room and finding it empty.

"Abbs!" Ziva checked her room and their parents room and Tony's room.

Bathroom Abby was probably in the bathroom.

"Abby" Ziva knocked on the door "You in there?" when she got no answer she tried the door only to find it locked "Abby, I know you are not at school so open the door, please"

"Fine, we'll do this the hard way" Ziva pulled the equipment out and began to pick the lock.

Ziva opened the door slowly and then peered in.

"Abby" Abby began but all she could do was gasp when she took in the sight in front of her. Abby; her baby sister, lay half curled up on the bathroom floor as her head and shoulders leant against the bathroom wall, a small pool of blood formed around both her sides.

A deep, bleeding cut ran across each of her wrist which made the small red mark around it look like nothing.

"Abby!" Ziva fell to the floor in front of her sister "Oh my gosh!"

Ziva tried to shake her sister awake but nothing seemed to work so she bolted back downstairs to retrieve her phone. First was the ambulance and then was dad but Ziva didn't call her already pissed off dad and instead called Tony.

"Hello"

"Tony! Meet us at the hospital"

"What! Why?!"

"Just trust me. Abby...she's had an accident"

"What kind of accident! Ziva!"

"Just meet us there! Oh and call dad and tell him" Ziva hung up the phone before rushing back to her sister's side.

"Abby!" Ziva sobbed "Wake up!"

The ambulance was there in minutes taking both girls to the hospital

"You have to wait here, Miss" The nurse told Ziva as the rushed Abby into a secured room.

"Ok" Ziva replied in a shaken voice

"Ziva!" Ziva barely had time to turn around before Tony was hugging her

"What happened?" Gibbs asked looking more angry than concern thinking Abby had just tripped up and fell and even more pissed that she daughter had skipped school.

"Abby...she...um...she tried to commit suicide"

"Wait!" Tony and Kate yelled but Gibbs just pushed past them all to look through the glass door as they worked on his baby.

"Princess" He whispered "What happened?"

"I found her in the bathroom. I dunno how long she'd been there" Ziva told her dad quietly "I'm sorry"

"Hey, ladybug, it's not your fault" Gibbs hugged Ziva tightly.

"Dad, seriously what the hell is going on?" Tony asked

"I don't know, Tony" Gibbs sighed keeping one arm wrapped around Ziva.

"What! How can you not know?"

"Tony, stop it" Kate whispered tugging Tony's sleeve

"No Kate, I won't stop" Tony snapped "Look its a bit strange seeing as our family barely fight and she's got nice friends, so what is all this? Some fucked up bid for attention"

"No! She's not like that!" Ziva yelled at her brother "Some thing's been up for weeks! And if you never noticed then your not a very good brother!"

"Excuse me!" Tony huffed

"Well you never bother with us any more!"

"Ziva! Tony! This isn't the place, ok" Gibbs said sternly "Abby just needs us to be there for her. All of us."

"Cause you've been doing a great job at taking care of her, haven't you. I mean didn't you promise mum to watch over the girls. Well look where we're standing, dad! Hasn't even been a day"

"I'd choose your next words very carefully, Anthony" Gibbs growled

"You know maybe the girls should stay with us until mum gets back next week, just to be on the safe side and that's only if she makes it out of her alive, I mean even if she does they might want to keep her on the psycho unit!"

Before Tony knew what was happening Gibbs had him pinned against the wall by the collar of his shirt.

"How dare you say I can't look after my daughters!" Gibbs snarled "They mean everything to me! I'd die before I'd let any harm come to any of the three of you!"

"Yeah well look what happened to Kelly!" Tony shot back shocking himself.

Gibbs let go of his son and backed away from them. Gibbs and his high school girlfriend Shannon had Kelly when they were sixteen. Shannon had died only minutes after Kelly was born. Kelly had been killed in a car accident at 8 when her uncle who was Shannon's brother was taking her to her dance class.

"Get out of here! I don't even want to look at you right now!"

"Dad...I'm sorry"

"I said now, Tony!"

"Are you coming, sis?" Tony asked Ziva

"Don't call me that! Your no brother of mine"

"Oh yeah, I forgot. You just turned up, didn't you"

"Tony!" Kate snapped

"Come on, Kate"

"No, I'm staying here"

"Suit yourself" Tony left feeling awful about everything. He'd go around to his parents house later and make up for it.

"Daddy?" Ziva mumbled as Gibbs sunk down into one of the uncomfortable plastic chairs "I'm going to call Ducky, Tim and then mum"

"Ok, sweetheart" Gibbs sighed running both hands through his hair as he stared at the ground.

Ducky didn't answer the phone which probably meant he was in the middle of an autopsy, She just text Tim who said he'd be there at lunch because his teacher wouldn't let him leave.

Ziva took a deep breath and called Jenny

"Hello"

"Hi, mum"

"Ziva! Honey" Ziva flinched at her mother's cheerful tone

"I need to tell you something but you haven't to promise not to freak out"

"Ziva, what's wrong? Where's your father?"

"We're at the hospital, it's Abby"

"What happened to her? Is she ok?"

"We..um don't know yet because she tried to kill herself"

"What! Oh my! Ok I'm going to get the next flight home, I'll be there soon."

"Mum, this is important it's your work, they need you there"

"Family first. I love you and take care of your dad until I get there, Ok" Jenny hung up without another word

"Love you too" Ziva whispered taking her phone away from her ear.

When Ziva returned to the wait room a doctor was talking to her dad.

"Well keep her in over night but she can return home tomorrow. Keep a close eye on her, Mr Gibbs, we saved her this time. I don't think we could a second time"

"Thank you" Gibbs nodded

"I've lined up some group therapy sessions for her to attend for a few weeks and I suggested you keep her off school for the a couple of weeks until she fully recovers" the doctor smiled "She'll wake up in a little while but you can stay with her if you'd like"

Gibbs nodded and the doctor left without without another word.

"She's ok?" Ziva asked

"Yes, she's fine" Gibbs hugged his oldest daughter "C'mon"

Ziva followed her dad into the Abby's room.

She lay there so peacefully that only the bandages wrapped around her wrist showed that something bad had happened.

Gibbs walked slowly to Abby's side and ran his thumb over on of the bandages before gripping her hand tightly and kissing her knuckle.

"What have you done, Princess?"
