When she wakes up the next day, she feels refreshed. Ready to leave the hospital and just restart. So she gets out of the bed, changes, grabs a few of her things that have collected in the room, and left. As she was walking out her door she runs into someone.

"Oh sorry" she says, and then looks up to see who it is. "Sam."

"Hi Andy." He says. "Are you leaving?"

"Yeah, finally." She says. After a few seconds pass without him saying anything she starts to get a little agitated that he came here. "Look, what are you doing here. I need to go home and do a whole bunch of stuff considering…" she trails off not wanting to finish her sentence.

"I just came to get your statement from that night." He tells her.

"No." she says back flatly and starts walking away from him.

"Hey Andy, wait." He asks her as he runs to catch up. Guess she really does want out of this place.

"What Sam!" she looks like she's about to kill him he thinks.

"Look, it's almost been a week and I can't hold it off any longer."

"Well to bad, because I'm not doing it today. Especially if I have to give it to you." And with that, she walks away and out the hospital doors. He sees her get into a car that just pulled up and sees that it's Nick that's driving. He feels a pang of jealously all of a sudden but brushes it off because he cant feel this way right now, with her hurting inside, he can't just go up to her and tell her how he feels.

When Andy gets in the car Nick wants to ask if she's ok but decides against it when he sees Sam watching them. But to his surprise she turns to look at Nick and say "Ask".

"Are you ok?" he asks.

"I'm. Fine." She says back in a weird happy way that makes him think she really must be hurting. "Can we just go home?"

"Yeah, yeah sorry". He says finally.

Later that night when they got to Andy's place, he finds her curled up on the couch with the TV on and her just staring at it with a blank face. He watches her for a few more moments till she says "You know. You staring at me is kinda creepy"

"How did you-?"

"Know you were watching me? Lets just call it a sixth sense." She says.

"Are you ok?" "You've been sitting there awhile."

"Am I not aloud to watch Tv?"

"Not when you just stare at it like nothings there."

"Well when you have a week like mine" she starts turning to face him when he sits down next to her.

"You'll know why." She finishes.

"Andy-"

"I don't want pity." She says flatly.

"I just want to go back to work like nothings happened. But that's not possible because nobody just keeps to their own damn self's."

"Well then we will just have to ignore their little judging looks and comments"

"We?" She asks.

"Yes we. You didn't think I would let you do this on your own. Did you?"

"Yes and no." he looks at her confused as if asking her to elaborate. And of course she understands.

"Yes I knew you would want to help or whatever but I just thought for awhile that maybe you didn't want to deal with this broken mess" she says referring to herself.

"Oh Andy no. Never." "Your not broken." Does she really think that?

"Well I sure feel like it"

"How about we get some ice cream and watch a movie?" he asks trying to lighten the mood a little.

"I think I just want to go to bed if that's ok"

"Yeah of course"

"You don't have to stay if you don't want to." She says as she starts walking to her bedroom.

"I want to. I'll just take the couch." He tells her.

"Ok." And with that she goes to her room.

He lies down on the couch and is soon asleep. Only to be woken up a few hours later by someone screaming. Out of instinct he grabs for his gun. Only to find he doesn't have it because he isn't in his apartment. And that's when he realizes that it's not just anyone that's screaming. It's Andy.

"Andy" he calls. He walks into her room to find her sitting up and sweating.

"Andy" he says again.

"Nick" "he..he shot himself" she says starting to cry.

"I know Andy. I know." He says softly as he holds her in his arms.

"Shhhh. Its ok." He keeps saying softly in her ear trying to calm the sobbing.

They fall asleep like that till the morning. When he wakes up he sees she's not there anymore. With momentary panic he gets up and goes to the living to find her there on the couch watching TV.

"Hey" he says to her.

"Hi."

"You hungry?" he asks.

"Yeah."

"Wanna go get something before work?" he asks already knowing that she will want to go to work even though she got a two-week leave. That's Andy for you.

"Yeah sure" she says standing up to go change. "Be right back"

He notices how she's not saying much. Besides short answers that is.

"Ok" he says.

After they eat Nick drives them to 15th division. Right when she gets out of the car she stops. Just freezes like ice. Not moving. "Andy…are you ok?" nick asks. No answer.

"Andy..?" he asks again. "Andy hey.. look at me" she finally looks at him and says "I don't think I can go back"

"then don't, let me just take you back home"

"No, I mean I don't think I can go back to acting like everything is fine. Like I'm fine. Because it is far from fine. But I have to try because if I don't then I might just…just… I might just break. Break into tiny little pieces like shattered glass. " She says. Nick is taken back by her confession.

"Andy. You're not doing this alone. I'm here. I'll always be here for you no mater what. Traci and Oliver too. They've been calling everyday this week and asking about you. So you are not alone in this. If you need anything, anything you come to us Andy." He says.

"Ok. Yeah ok I can do that"

"Ok then. Shall we?" he asks reaching for her hand.

"We shall" she answers back smiling for once. And with that they walk inside hand in hand. Maybe I was wrong to think I could do this by myself. I just need to take it one day at a time. And maybe. Just maybe. I can get through this.
