Andy was in shock, she had no idea what to do or what to say. She stood there frozen for a while until she saw Robert looking at her from the entrance of the beanery. Her shocked look quickly transitioned into a sad one as he walked away up the stairs looking hurt as ever. She finally spoke up, "Ry, I- I can't do this here can we just go to my office for a second?" "Uh..yeah sure." Ryan said, confused. They got to Andy's office and Ryan sat down in the chair across from her. "I'm sorry," Ryan started, "I wanted it to be a big thing but I understand that you might've gotten overwhelmed." With that said, Andy had so many thoughts going through her head. Telling him this would completely ruin their relationship, if they broke up would she have a relationship with Sullivan? Andy got shook out of her deep thoughts when the alarm went off "ENGINE 19 TO 1223 ALDERSON WAY, CAPTAIN NEEDED ON THE SCENE" blared through the speakers. "I have to go, I'm sorry." Andy said as she rushed out leaving him all alone in her office. 'Shit, I'm with Sullivan again' she thought. She got into the passenger's seat of the engine and tried avoiding contact with Robert as they drove to the scene. "Andy-" Robert started but Andy cut him off," lieutenant this is not the time or the place."
Andy walked back into the station after the call so exhausted that she forgot what had been waiting for her to get back. She ran upstairs to change her clothes and then walked into her office to see Ryan still sitting there waiting for her. "Oh.. you're still here" Andy said pulling her hair into a ponytail. "Yeah, I am. We never got to finish our conversation about my proposal." "Yes, right sorry." Andy just trailed right back into her thoughts again so Ryan had to say something. "Andy, whatever it is, please tell me. I can already assume that the answer is no but what's wrong?" Just then a tear rolled down Andy's cheek as she couldn't look him in the eye. Ryan tilted her chin up and wiped away the tear with his thumb, "Please Andy, you can tell me anything" Ryan said with a concerned look. "I-" Andy started and removed his hand from her cheek, "I cheated on you, and I'm so sorry but I don't regret it." "I don't understand, why would you do that- why didn't you just end things instead of cheating?" Ryan said angrily but still noticeably hurt. "Our relationship wasn't working and I was stressing about getting the captains position and it just happened. I was at the bar one night with Maya and Travis and I was so drunk when he asked me if I wanted another beer so I accepted, he didn't know where I live so he brought me home to his guest bedroom and I woke up beside him and I am not completely aware of what happened that night but we did not have sex." Andy said. "So that's it? You are turning down my proposal because of a kiss?" Ryan replied. "We did sleep together.. just not that night and I turned down your proposal because I have feelings for him and it would be unfair to both of you if we kept this relationship going." "What's is name?" "What?" "The guy ? What's his name" "Ryan I'm not gonna tell U that U don't need to know" "right" he stormed out of the room Andy running after him "ry.. ry come on please" "Andy I've heard enough" "ry.. please" she said as she was going to get him to turn around she saw Sullivan looking at her she stopped dead in her track she went to her office close the blinds lock the door and she stayed there for as long as possible , during the three hours she was there everyone from the team try to make her open the door , only Travis got to talk to her and only by calling her, she didn't say much be he understand she was in pain, because she broke this man heart. It was 5 pm and Ripley came back into the station to get news on how Herrera was doing but lucky for her he saw Robert first they went in the barn to talk cause it was more private then next to Andy's office. " so how is it the new place sully?" "I like it here Luke, really there's amazing people" and he meant it he liked the people here it was like a big family. While their conversation Andy got a called from the hospital "its Herrera" "hi Herrera it's Doctor Bailey I'm calling about your dad" " what's wrong with him ?" " he said he wanted to speak with you and also he's discharge he can go home and your the one in charge of papers" "sure I'll be there soon thank you doctor B". Robert and Ripley talked for a while until one of their conversations got interrupted by Ripley getting a call " chief ripley" " hi chief it's Herrera can we talk?" "Sure I'm in the barn why don't U come" "sure sir" . Andy walked out of her office and made her way to the barn to find the chief and his bestfriend the man she slept with , " Herrera ! What can I do for U?" " can I take the rest of the day off?" "Can I ask why?" "My.. my father sir, he's" "sure Herrera take the shift off , we'll be fine here go be with your dad he needs U" " thank U sir I was also wondering if you were still up for the bbq this weekend at my house?" "It's at your house this year?" " yeah it is" "sure I'm gonna come I like spending time with 19" "thank U again sir , and lieutenant your also invited we do this every year I'll text you the address" and by that Andy left and when to see her dad. The only things she had with her was her phone and her key. She went to the hospital and saw her dad he talked to her he said at least 30 time he was sorry for his behaviour and the only thing Andy could possibly do was forgive him she still got the promotion when she told him about it he wasn't that happy but he finally saw that she would do and amazing job . She also talked to her about the past event of the last two day her father was really mad he couldn't believe she cheated on Ryan but the way she described the other man he couldn't be so mad at her she was really in love and it showed. Andy had left all of her things a the station so she went back there and grab her things while she was in her office Robert came to talk with pruitt " pruitt Herrera" he said giving his hand for him to shake " Robert, hows the job" "I love it" "that's great son , you'll do great here" "thank U I really hope so". Andy was taking her things in her office as fast as she could so she can leave after without everyone asking her question , she got a call from Ryan while she was in and he told her she needed to come get her things she left at his place leave her key on the counter and text him when she left , he really didn't wanted to see her . And it was a normal conversation after everything she did . She was done and saw her dad to Robert Robert was the last person she wanted to see right now not because she doesn't like him or the view she just didn't wanted to see him because he made her feel so many things and she couldn't have that right now , the spark she didn't wanted to be infected by it at least not now. " I'm ready dad we can go" " I thought we were going to see the team" "they are all in the beanery" Robert add "yeah I know it's 5:30 they are eating lunch" "let's go then eat with team" pruitt said " dad I kinda don't want to be ask millions of questions.." "come on Andrea" "fine dad go , I'll put my things back in my office I'll join U in a bit let me 10 minutes I have to relax before" "sure love U" he went to join the team we can say they were happy to see him he took himself a plate and sat with the team there was only two places left at the table and it would probably be Andy and Robert next to each other's . Andy went to her office and closed the door knowing that Sullivan was there at the reception . She heard a knock on the door "come in" "Andy can we talk?" "Why?" She ask rudely " why are you so rude to me ?" "I don't know , I'm sorry I don't know why I'm like that" "it's fine , but can we talk ?" "Sure what's up" " how did it go?" " not the way I was expecting but he knew I was gonna say no the minute I was in my office" " did U say no just because of us?" " I said no because it wasn't working and yes because of you too I saw your face when you saw Ryan and it broke me I fell in love with U , I didn't wanted to jeopardize my relationship with him by having sex with U and breaking U too." "I understand , I just hope you'll get better soon" "yeah I'll be fine, he's my best friend he's gonna come around" "I'm sure he will" " yeah, I have to change okay so don't get weird about it" " I won't" . She took of her shirt and she changed Robert was still talking to her "look Andy I know U don't want anything soon so I'm happy about being only your friend and help U through anything" "thank you Robert that means a lot to me" " of course I know that this is gonna be hard for U talking about what we did and not say yes to Ryan""yeah it might take me some time before I'm completely okay with what I did but like I told Ryan I don't regret it but I'm not ready to try anything with anyone not right now " "sure Andy I understand , just know that I am here for U whatever U need at any time " " I know your comfortable around me so I'll do anything for you to feel better" "thank you Robert" she said she hugged him he could've talk to her about what they did and that he wanted more than just friend but he also knew that's not what she wanted" " we should go eat" " yeah you go I'll join soon thanks again" " no problem" , she took one last deep breath and joined the guys in the beanery she saw the last spot was next to Robert and she was fine with it cause they were friends ."Hey Andy!" "Hey vic, why are U so happy?" " I'm just ready to celebrate the new fiance thing going on with Ryan" "there's no fiance" "what?" She asked confused " I said no to Ryan and were not together anymore" her voice cracked a bit , and she felt a hand on her knee it was Roberts. She was glad they were friend at that moment cause she needed somoeone to help her."Why! I mean U too are like couple goals , what happened" "what happened is that I cheated on him , and I didn't regret it so I told him" Robert squeezed her knee and put his hand back on the table cause he knew she might be storming out of the room. "U did what now?" Jack asked " she cheated" dean said "but why Andy?" Vic asked " U and ry it's like.." " guys stop please , I don't want to talk about it and i might never talk about it okay , I did cheat on Ryan and like I said earlier I don't regret it okay I wouldn't take anything back except maybe not getting drunk that night to remember . "Fine we won't ask U again about it" Vic said " OMG!" Maya yelled.
