Tim Bradford X Reader One Shots

Could that be him? *Sad little babble*

*Pretend Tim only served 4 years in the military*

You were born in LA and lived there until you left to Texas for grad school after completing college at UCLA and never came back. You never wanted to come back. You actually never wanted to leave LA to begin with but the love of your life decided that after 5 years together it wasn't going to work out. 

You met him when you were 12. Your parents had moved you a couple streets over and you just happened to end up as neighbors. 4 years later he would ask you to be his girlfriend on your 16th birthday. 2 years later he would tell you he planned to enlist and leave LA.

Even though heartbreaking you still chose to stick by his side. You stuck through long tours and communicating through lettings and broken up phone calls and small visits during the holidays for him to just leave you right after your 5th year anniversary.

You were halfway through your junior year and wanted nothing more than to be done and to get the hell out of California. You knew he was coming back, and you wanted nothing to do with that and you stayed strong for 5 years. 

You had just graduated grad school when your father got sick, and your mother asked you to move back, and you did. It had been 6 months and so far, you hadn't seen him at all and you were so thankful for that. Your parents dare not say a thing about him. Sure it had been 5 years and you figured he probably had a wife and kids by now seeing as the relationship meant nothing to him but to you it was everything. 

You could never find anyone that made you feel the way he did.

You had gotten a masters degree in psychology so you were interning for a psychologist and on your way home you got pulled over. You were too busy paying attention to the fact that you were late and your father needed to take his meds that you ran through the neighborhood stopped sign. 

You rolled your window down "Hello officer I'm sorry I just-" you stopped speaking as your eyes flicked up to his and then over to the name plate on his chest. Tim Bradford. Your great consuming love. 

Your eyes quickly shot to his left hand. No ring. 

"Y/n?" He stuttered out "I thought you lived in Texas?"

You nodded holding back the lump in your throat. You handed him your license "I moved back... my dad he is sick but... can I please go I don't want to"

"What? See me" he asked softly

you nodded and he handed you back your card "Do you have the same number?" he asked softly and you nodded. 

you both stared for a minute and then he said goodbye and you drove off. 10 minutes later you heard a buzz in your pocket.

*Random Number* hmm maybe its Tim you thought

T: Hi "Y/N" its Tim

Y: Hi...

T: How have you been?

Y: Seriously

T: What?

Y: 5 years and that's all you say. You have texted me 3 time is 5 years and zero in 3 years. I was in love with you Timothy. You were my everything and we were happy and then you just left me shattered in that dorm room.

T: I'm sorry

Y: I need to know are you married or with kids?

T: No. I never found anyone after you. You?

Y: Nope. I have only ever loved you. Honestly kinda thought we would be married by now and having kids.

T: Yeah me too...

Y: Then why did you leave me?

T: I just didn't think you were happy. I was dumb and 21 and across the world. I never knew when I was leaving and then I never came after you because you deserved better.

Y: So why now? why bother now?

T: Because when I saw you today everything flooded back. I still love you. 5 years later and I still want you.
