Blink And You'll Miss It (Chicago PD)

The Truth

*Taylor's Pov*

When I woke up, I looked around the light coloured room. It was different from the rest of the property; the walls were white and the bed was light oak. The bed colour was light grey and the wardrobe was light oak with a large mirror on the doors.

I walked around the room, running my fingers along the tops before I stopped to look at a few pictures. There was one of his team, including Aaron and it brought a tear to my eye. I didn't like him to start off with but he grew on me. We always put on a front and showed others that we hated each other but we actually got on great.

His death took a toll on everyone. Luke and I didn't talk for days and I went off the grid for a bit. I couldn't return knowing that not all of us had made it back. Luke found me though and brought me back. He scared off Dean and told him not come anywhere near me.

I looked over some more pictures before I stopped on one. Luke and I were stood next to each other with massive smiles on our faces, covered in snow. And then there was another one of me, I didn't know anyone had taken it but I looked genuinely happy and my eyes were lit up as I stared at Luke in the distance. The last one was of us four: Lillian, Brandon, Luke and I. We were out that night for my birthday and we had asked some tourists to take it. It was perfect. We were happy and the view behind us was amazing.

"They aren't all bad, are they?" Said someone from the doorway.

I turned to see Lillian stood there with her blonde hair up in a tight bun. She smiled at me and held out her arms for a hug. I practically ran over to her and dived in her arms.

"So, what are you doing in Chicago?" I asked her as I got dressed into some work clothes that Brandon had grabbed from my car.

"I've got a few cases here that I have to wrap up plus, I saw your voicemail."

"Good. So, are you up for it? Are the girls?"

"They are more than up for it. They are coming into Chicago in a few days and they can't wait to meet up again."

"Neither can I. It's been way too long."

"Where are you off to?"

"Work. I'm grabbing some coffee beforehand for my team."

"You're gonna tell them." She said.

"Yeah, I am."

"Have you told Luke?"

"Yeah, I told him last night before he left the room."

"So, you didn't sleep with him?" Asked Lillian as we walked down to the garage.

"No, I'm with Jay and he left late last night."

"Where did he go?"

"I went to talk to Jay." Said Luke as he joined us by my car.

"What about?"

"I was asking him about possibly joining us in the Netherlands as well as maybe the team."

"Sounds good. I've got to head off, see you tomorrow. Love you." I said and hugged him.

"Love you too." He said and hugged me tighter, refusing to let go.

"Luke? Are you okay?"

"Yeah. I'm just giving you a confidence hug."

"Okay. I'll see you soon."

"Yeah. I love you."

"I love you too. Luke, is something wrong?"

"No. I just don't want to lose you again."
