Isabelle sat in the waiting room waiting for Tim to get out of surgery. She had just got off the phone with Riley who had agreed to stay and watch Elijah until she returned home. She apologised profusely and promised she would add a bonus onto his pay for the last minute change. Elijah was upset she wasnt coming home soon but he had told her "hope friend okay" which made her smile, her little boy had so much compassion.

One of the Nurses walked towards Isabelle telling her everything had gone fine and pointed her in the direction of Tims room. Isabelle grabbed the smoothie next to her and walked towards the room.

Knocking on the door, she poked her head around the door. Tim looked towards the noise spotting the women before telling her to come in.

Isabelle walked towards Tim her hands behind her back, a smirk on her face. Tim was confused and groggy from the pain meds. "What are you doing?" He questioned. Isabelle brought her hands infront of her, revealing the smoothie with a grin on her face. "Thought id bring you a gift to congratulate you on not dying".

Tim groaned throwing his head back against the pillow. "Ive literally just had a bullet removed from my side, you are not funny" He complained. Isabelle laughed and placed he smoothie down before taking a seat. "Im the funniest person you know, plus i saved your life so don't be mean" Isabelle responded. She didn't know where this confidence had come from.

Tim smiled at her and shook his head. She made him laugh. Riding with her today had made him trust her more, she seemed like a genuine person, be could tell she was going to be a pain in the arse already.Yes he still had questions, but they didn't matter, it didn't affect him or her work. He knew she had his back.

As if Isabelle could sense what he was thinking she sighed before stating " Look i know you dont trust me and have questions and honestly im not going answer them but i get it, i have trouble trusting people too, im just trying to do the job i love and fit in, everyone at the station seems lovely. I just hope we can get along, if not who else is going to save your arse and bully you?"

Isabelle bit her lip as she gave a small smile to the man. " you're right i do have questions, but i can see now it won't affect your work or teamwork so ill respect that. Your a damm good cop Isabelle and ive seen that today, you had my back and i appreciate that. Just please dont make me regret saying we can be friends" Tim said giving her a pointed look towards the end. Isabelle grinned " you're not going to regret it, i promise...Timothy"

Tim groaned rolling his eyes at the women before mumbling "im definitely going to regret this". Before Isabelle could reply Angela and Lucy walked through the door. They greeted the women with a smile. "Hey good work today, thanks for saving this idiot" Angela said nodding towards Tim. Tim scoffed at her words.

Isabelle stood from the chair with a smile " thank you that means alot, and it was nothing hes just a wuss" Isabelle laughed. Tim scoffed again before saying "Hey! its not bully Bradford day, i was just shot!".

All 3 women laughed before Isabelle picked up her bag " i better get back to the station and change, i need to get home, see you guys tomorrow and get better soon Tim" she said. The officers said there goodbye, Lucy telling Isabelle she would text her later.

Isabelle got a taxi back to the station, since her shop was blown up and got changed before jumping into her car. She smiled to herself on the journey home. She was glad Angela and Tim had not continued to question her scars and she felt like she was finally being accepted. 4 - 3 years ago she thought she was going to die, no one noticing or caring. But now she had friends, people who would notice and care. She was happy and content. She just hoped nothing ruined that.
