Hey guys, I kind of gave up on this story a while back, but I can tell you that I am back and more determined to finish this! I will also let you know that I am writing another RB story that will be out by the end of this week or beginning of next, so watch for that!

The next week had passed, and not much had changed. Sam's condition improved a little bit, and the doctors promised to try and wake him up soon. Sarah and Andy continued to hang out around the hospital and local coffee shops, but not much else outside that. Luke had been released from the hospital, and he was returning to work within the next few days.

"I just feel that I should go in now and see what's going on." Luke stated as he drove himself and Andy to the station.

"You have two days left on medical leave and you choose to use them up at work. You love your job more than anything." Andy joked as she switched radio stations.

"Yeah, well it's my top priority in my life right now."

"Hmmph, sometimes I wonder where I am on that priority list."

"Andy, that's not what I meant. You know where you stand." Luke looked over at her in an attempt to make eye contact with Andy.

"Actually I am not so sure. Whenever I ask to go out, you have to work. If your not working, your already hanging with Jo."

"Don't go there Andy. I don't complain where I am on your list." Luke pulled into the station and veered into a parking lot, his anger obviously carrying over into his driving.

Andy laughed as she unbuckled on her seat belt. "Luke, I only have my job and you. I don't go out at all because I wait for you to come home from work" Andy turned in her seat to face him "And let me tell you, you don't come home from work until the wee hours in the morning."

Luke shook his head as he faced the steering column. "Let me ask you this Andy, am I above or below Sam Swarek on your priority list."

Andy did not hesitate with her answer, "Don't make me answer that Luke."

Luke chuckled dryly as he climbed out of his car, "Yeah, I thought so."

Andy watched as Luke slammed his car door shut and began walking towards her station. She looked out the window and saw Dov acknowledging her strangely. Andy waved him off as she followed in Luke's path and headed into the station.

"What's her problem?" Gail asked Traci as she watched Andy whip her locker open and toss out her clothes.

"She's dating an asshole." Traci replied as she tightened her belt around her waist. "And the man she loves just happens to be in the hospital." Traci locked up her locker and turned her back on Andy. "I wouldn't be running your ice queen mouth around her today."

"Does Swarek know?" Traci rolled her eyes and looked at Gail. "I guess not. But why doesn't she just tell him?"

"Because that would be easy. Have you met Andy McNally? She doesn't take the easy way out on anything." Traci and Gail laughed too themselves.

"Hey, so I'm actually in this room and I can actually hear you." Andy spoke to them with a hint of anger in her voice. She threw the clothes she changed out of into her locked before slamming it shut. "Parade is starting now, lets go." And with that, Andy was out of the locker room.

"Hey Andy… HEY!" Sarah yelled from the front desk, trying desperately to get Andy's attention. "MCNALLY!" At the familiar name, Andy turned and faced Sarah.

"Hey Sarah, what's going on?" Andy asked as she approached the desk. She turned around and waved Traci and Gail on. Traci threw her arms up, and signaled at her wrist that they would be late. Andy mouthed that she would catch up to them in a minuet.

"The hospital called to tell me that Sam's awake." Sarah smiled at Andy's speechless reaction. "One of the officers is going to tell Best that me and you are heading to the hospital." Andy just stood there as Sarah turned away from the desk and began to walk to the front door. "You got feet for a reason Andy, move them." Sarah told her as Andy failed to follow her out the front door.

"He's awake." Andy muttered to herself as she followed Sarah. She was about to get into Sarah's car when Luke yelled her name out.

"Hey Andy, I was just about to head out for a quick bite to eat, you want to join?" Luke asked as he eyed Sarah warily.

"You just got to the office and you already want to leave?"

"Just for a bite. The other D's aren't in right now, so I can't catch up now. So I thought me and you could talk over lunch." Luke rested his arm on top of the open car door.

"Luke… it's Sam. He's awake." Andy stated as she rested her back against the doorframe of Sarah's blue Toyota.

"Alright, we can get something to eat and then see him if you want."

"That's Sarah." Andy acknowledged, pointing at the brunette listening in on their conversation. Luke gave her a small wave before looking back at Andy. "Sarah is Sam's sister, and we are on our way to go see him now."

Luke laughed sarcastically as he looked up in the sky. "This would be you choosing him over me again."

Andy looked at him, trying to decide what to say. She was tired of Luke's attitude recently. Whenever Andy would try to talk to him about anything, he would always shut her down. He wouldn't listen to what she had to say, especially when it came to topics about Sam. She was done with this. She was tired.

"Yes Luke, that is exactly what this is." Andy shoved his arm off of her door. She sat into the car and shut the door before rolling down her window. "I am choosing to go see my partner who almost died in a car accident over having lunch with you."

"You complain that we don't see each other enough, and when I try, you deny me." Luke complained as he threw his arms out to the side, clearly frustrated.

"Yup, definitely, every time." Andy spat sarcastically as she put her seatbelt on. Sarah put the car in reverse and began backing the car out of her spot when Luke placed his hand through the window.

"You're just going to walk away from me right now McNally?" Luke questioned as Sarah stepped on the brake. She looked anxiously at Andy for what she was going to say next.

Andy waited for a moment and compared her options. She could offer to talk to Luke later, to patch things up, or she could walk away from him… forever.

"I'm not walking away from you." Luke smiled as he though he had another chance. "I'm driving away." Sarah had to cover her mouth in order not to let out a giggle. Andy motioned at her to continue driving. "Oh, and one more thing." Luke looked back at her, a hint of hope in his eyes. "Don't call me McNally."

And with that, Andy was gone.

Don't hate me, I just needed a chapter to get Luke mostly out of the way. And please look for my next story!
