AN: So every chapter is named after a certain song. Most of the time lyrics matches what the chapter is about.
Also, every chapter starts with a quote. Like a song, the quote also tells what the chapter is about.
Enjoy! Xo
"Trust that what you're going through now is destined to bring you a brighter future. Trust that the hard choices you have to align with who you are and who you want to become. Trust that your decisions and actions will only bring you closer to your purpose. It may be hard to believe that life has so much to offer you right now, but believing in yourself, your potential, is your greatest achievement."

After Andy ran away he didn't know what to do. Should he go after her or wait. Should he call, text or say anything at that moment. It was hurting him that she found out this way. He wanted to make it right. To explain to her but he guessed because he waited for so long to tell her this is universe revenge. Everything was against him. He desperately wanted to open his heart. To make himself vulnerable in front of her. To tell her what he really feel and stop dancing around when it's obvious how he feels about her.
Andy on the other hand was driving who knows where. She kept repeating in her head why she reacted the way she did. He is just a friend. But in reality just like Robert she wouldn't admit her true feelings to herself. After some time she stopped and of course she find herself at the beach. She needed to clear her head and to get enough courage to open her heart to him. To tell him why and to explain everything.
Next shift was far enough for her to prepare herself and to think what she will say. Robert also decided not to text her because he figure she needed some space so he decided to wait until next shift when she is back.
Even far away from each other, the same thing was on their minds. One another. Always thinking about each other.
Next shift was getting closer and both of them were getting more nervous. Andy wasn't mad at him. She just reacted in the moment. They spent some time together while she was recovering.
Andy got up early and got to the station 30 minutes before everyone else. She went to her office, sat behind the desk and just took a deep. She was back. Can't say stronger than ever but healed.
"So what do you want to do today?" Robert asked as he entered Andy's apartment not realizing she was in shorts and sports bra.
"Uhm, sorry. I'm not ready yet." Andy said trying to cover the scars she had on her stomach.
"No need to hide them. They are just the proof what you went through and how strong you are." Robert said sitting on the couch and trying to find something on TV to watch while he waits.
"Always knows what to say." She chuckled.
"Always late." He teased.
"Sorry, mister-always-on-time." Andy backfired.
Taking the time to remember some of the funny moments that she shared with Robert while they spent time together. How she tried to hide her nervousness with some jokes that weren't even funny. She had a smile on her face even thinking of all of it...
"I like him. Maybe more like love him." She said giggling trying to process what she actually said.
The happiness didn't last long because she got interrupted by hearing the team getting into the station. She got to the beanery wanting something to eat but what waited for her there no one expected.
"Welcome back!" Everyone shouted.
"Guys, wha... what is this? When you did this?" She said surprised.
