Every since Robert signed the papers Andy was a total mess.
She called a divorce lawyer out of anger and she didn't really think he will sign but now that he did Andy couldn't find a strength to hand over the papers. It didn't feel right.
On top of everything Robert found out she slept with Beckett what caused her to sink even deeper than before.
She spent the last month trying to talk to him and to apologize. Oh she apologized like a hundred times and she begged for forgiveness.
After shift she was headed to 19 to find Robert. She couldn't keep going like this. It wasn't fair to stalk him like this but her life was a living hell.
She said quick 'Hi' to anyone she saw and headed towards the lockers.
"Can we please talk?" Andy said staying at the door.
"Why? I think my not answering your text or calls said it all."
"It did but I need to talk to you. Please! I got interrupted so many times."
"What can you possibly say that will excuse what you did, Andy?" He turned to face her.
He immediately saw that she was a mess. He didn't look into her eyes for the last few weeks but he was pissed.
"And why didn't you hand over the papers already? You were quick to call the divorce lawyer but..." Robert sat on the bench.
"I can't hand them over. I can't. " Andy wiped her tears knowing that crying won't help.
She knelt in front of Robert wanting his full attention.
"I'm sorry for everything I did. There is no excuse for it. I deeply regret everything I did to you. It was wrong, very wrong." She took a deep breath.
"I started getting help. Professional help. After you signed the papers I hit the bottom. I knew I needed help. It was a wake up call. I want a second chance."
"I'm glad you did Andy. I need to go now." He completely ignored her last sentence.
Robert wanted to go just so she won't see his tears forming in his eyes. He has to be strong. But how can he when she was telling all the stuff he wanted to hear over a year ago.
He took off her hand and got up.
"I'm really sorry Andy but it's too late now. This needed to happen a year ago." He turned to leave but then stopped.
"I'm not mad at you for sleeping with that asshole Beckett. We are not together. We are... we were just married on the paper.
I still love you and I don't think I'll ever stop loving you but I can't be with someone who is this kind of selfish."
He finished almost breaking down but decided to go before she sees his tears.
Robert will always be in love with her. Comparing to her he spent 10 months suffering that she was ignoring him.
Andy was left destroyed. She went to the bathroom to freshen up a little but her eyes were still puffy from sobbing after him. She didn't know what to do, how to handle the situation from now on.
The next shift at 23 was busy than usual. Andy not in the mood for anything other than crying so she kept her distance from everyone. Theo noticed she was avoiding captain's orders so he looked for her.
"Not now Ruiz. Not in the mood."
"Well excuse me but when my teammate and dear friend is suffering I want to at least let her know I'm here for her."
