Lucy Chen + Tim Bradford

Soulmates

"I don't like you. Lucy, your an amazing person but once Isabel comes back that's it. I'm hers. I'm sorry." He left Lucy's apartment. The young cop couldn't believe it. She had just found her person and he still was hung up on his ex. The ex that would never come back.

Lucy walked to her room slowly. Her head had started to hurt. Her entire body shook with sobs. She felt like she was gonna die. But she wasn't, this what happened when your soulmate rejects you.

She cried herself to sleep that night. The next morning at 5 am, when her alarm went off, she puked her guts out. She got up and did her regular morning routine and went to the district. Her whole mind was elsewhere, more focused on the pain she was feeling then whatever things the sergeant was saying in the front of their meetings.

Nyla, who sat beside officer Chen, could tell something was up. She had a feeling it had something to do with a soulmate. Lucy looked as pale as can be. Nyla hadn't gone through this rejection per say but she had a friend who had lived with it his entire life.

When the rest of the officers got up to leave, Nyla watched Lucy stand up and wince. She looked up and got Angela's attention. Grabbing Lucy's wrist she made her way out with Chen being dragged out. She made it to an office where no one was and sat Lucy in a chair. Angela walked in with them and shut the door.

"Tell us what's going on."

"Nothing. I'm fine."

"Lucy your not fine. You look like your about to pass out and you were wincing when you stood up. Did your soulmate reject you?" Lucy looked up at the two women who stood in front of her.

"Yeah."

"Lucy, you should've stayed home."

"I can't. He'll know somethings wrong and I can't stand seeing him. But I have too." Angela and Nyla looked at eachother.

"You work together?"

"Yeah. We all do."

They looked at each other. They automatically knew who Lucy was talking about.

"Oh Luce." Lucy looked at them and started crying. Her whole body shook. They took her into a hug.

"We're gonna figure it out Luce." She nodded and stood up. She whimpered and fell into the the arms of her friends.

"Crap. Angela grab Sergeant and him I'm taking Lucy home and tell Bradford he needs to get his act together. Lay into him." Nyla said. Lucy and her stood up and walked out of the office to her car and took Lucy home.

It was later when Tim that packed up that he noticed Lucy wasn't in her normal desk, or anywhere for that matter. But what he did see was Nyla and Angela sitting together with some coffee talking. They both looked up at Tim and scowled at him.

His smile fell and he walked over to them.

"What's going on? Where is Lucy?"

"She's at home. She's not feeling good."

"Not feeling good? Bullshit. She was fine last night."

"Yeah last night. She was fine right before she was rejected, by her soulmate."

His head whipped to Angela, almost giving him whiplash.

"What.."

"You heard me Tim. She almost fainted earlier. She was so pale, couldn't eat. Nyla had to stay with her for an hour to make sure she would sleep." His face contorted into shock.

"Does that change your look on things? Does that make you want Isabel back?" He stared at him. His jaw locked as he nodded and grabbed his bag.

Tim couldn't say this but he loved Lucy. Ever since she had gotten kidnapped he'd had something for her. But he didn't think they could ever be a thing.

He ran into Lucy's apartment complex. He knocked on the door, waiting, hoping she was okay or that Tamara was there for her. He heard footsteps and saw the door open. Lucy's pale face looked at him. She looked in pain. Sweat was everywhere, she looked like it hurt to walk.

"I'm sorry. I didn't know. God Lucy. I'm so sorry."

"If your just here cause you pity me hurting them leave."

"Listen to me. I never wanted Isabel. It never felt right with her. But Luce with you, I feel so whole. Your my favorite person to talk to. I think about you all the time. Your always on my mind. Just let me help you. Please." Lucy looked at him and smiled.

"Yes." He smiled and grabbed her face. He walked into her apartment and shut the door. He pushed her into the door and kissed her. They shared the kiss and Lucy started to feel less pain.

"I love you so much."

The rest of the night they cuddled together in Lucy's bed all night. They eventually fell asleep together, enjoying the time together.
