Right after.

Chapter 14: You.

GIBBS' POV:

In the morning I called Torres to have news on Bishop.

"Torres, how's Bishop?"
"Uhm- alive."
"What do you mean 'alive'?"
"Well, we might had a talk at 5 in the morning after she punched the wall until she bleeds. So she's not quite fine but she's alive."
"You brought her to the hospital?"
"Uhm- no."
"She didn't need stitches?"
"Yes but I did it-"
How can someone be this stupid?!
"You're serious Torres? You couldn't bring her to the hospital?"
"She wouldn't come!"
"And you're telling me that you're not strong enough to take her yourself to you car?"
"Well, I was afraid to hurt her Gibbs you haven't seen her stomach!"
"What's wrong with her stomach?"
"It's blue of bruises and we can see all the ribbs of her body, it seems so bad but she told me that it was after the fight with Watson and the doctor cleared it."
How in Hell did he saw her stomach, what did they do?
"Take care of her Torres." I said close to hanging up.
"Wait! The guy?"
"He admitted everything, he's going in jail."
"Thanks Gibbs." I hang up.

TORRES' POV:

As I hung up I heard noises in Ellie's room.
"Everything's fine B.?"
"Yes don't worry Torres. Did they get him?"
"Yes and can't you call me Nick? Like we're not at work so you don't have to call me by my last name."
"Uhm- if you want, and great..." She said coming out of the bathroom. "Did you sleep after I woke you up?"
"Yes don't worry I slept until 8. And you?"
"Oh that's great." She said heading to the kitchen.
"Ellie? You didn't sleep did you?"
"I'm not that tired Nick, I'm fine."
"Well, you're still gonna talk to Sloane and you're definitely gonna eat."
"I'm not hungry."
"So either you stop lying to me either you tell me what's up with food."
"It's fine Nick it's no big deal."
I went towards her, took her arm, put her in front of a mirror and pull her shirt up.
"See! It's not fine Ellie, you're as skinny as a fork, you need to eat! I need you to eat!"
"I KNOW WHAT I LOOK LIKE OKAY?! I know I'm skinny as hell, I know it makes me ugly and I don't care now! I have no one to look good for! I'm feeling so dirty I don't even wanna look good for myself. I'm not doing anything since I'm not allowed to work so why should I eat huh?!"
"Me."
"What?"
"I don't care if you're in a dress or in sweat pants, what I care about is you. The whole you, not just your body. I miss you Ellie, I miss seeing you eat while thinking about the case, I miss seeing you confident, I miss seeing you healthy! I MISS YOU! I wan't you back, and I wan't you in my life, everyday and night!" I can't believe what I just say.
"What?"
"Ellie" I said going closer to her "you made me fall in love with you."
"I- how?"
"What?"
"How? Like you're always with beautiful brunette, you can have anyone-"
"But none of them is you, you made me fall in love with you. Everything about you is perfect and I need you in my life to make me a better person. I love you."
Tears started running down her cheeks.
"What's wrong?" I asked with a little smile.
"He broke me and now I want kiss you so bad but I don't know if I can, because he broke me."
"Then I'll wait."
"What if I'll always be broken? You can't wait for someone who's broken forever."
"It's not forever B., today you'll talk too Sloane and it's already a big step. And if you eat it'll be a bigger step."
"Well, we can eat waiting for her."
