The next day Lucy's alarm started blaring, she groans and grabs her phone and turns it off before groaning again. She hardly slept last night, she was too stuck in her thoughts about what happened yesterday with Tim and then her mind kept going back six months ago.

She really didn't want to go to work today, she just wanted to stay in bed and do nothing. But she has responsibilities, she has to get up and look after her self so she's strong enough to take care of her son..she needs to go to work to earn money to put a roof over her sons head, as much as she got money from her husband after he died, she's put that to the side for Oscar when he's old enough..she also wants to get to work to check on Tim..she has an uneasy feeling in her stomach..

She rolls out of bed still really dreading to go to work, she showers and does her morning routine, she gets dressed and starts breakfast. She makes her son pancakes and decorate it with chocolate chips in a smiley face.

"Oscar" she whispers shaking her son, he didn't budge.
Lucy chuckled and leans down and picks him up "oscar wake up sweetie" she says and starts tickling him.
He giggles and kicks his head and laughs breathlessly
"Mommy I'm up, I'm awake. See" he says opening his eyes extra wide in her face. Lucy giggles at her son and carries him into the kitchen so he could eat.

While he eats she gathers his clothes for the day together and packs his bag for preschool.
She gets him sorted she drops him off at preschool.

She walks into the station and waits near the roll call room hoping Tim arrives, she wanted to speak to him about yesterday. She wanted to make sure he's okay..she still had a pit in her stomach. Something wasn't right.

She waits for a while and there was no sign of him, she sighs and sees Angela talking to nyla.
"Hey..Angela do you have a second?" Lucy asks knowing she's Tim's best friend.
"yeah sure." She nods and nyla smiles
"Chen you're on your own today. I have court appearance" nyla says softly and walks off and Lucy nods.

"Where's Tim?" She asks and Angela sighs
"he's taking a personal day. I'm surprised actually. That man has never took a personal day in his life." Angela shakes her head, that made Lucy feel worse..
"uh..has he spoken to you? About his shift yesterday?" Lucy asks and Angela frowns.

"about the part where he nearly got benched because he decided to take over a call on his own at a bar fight?" She asks and Lucy sighs and doesn't answer.
"Lucy if there's something you know..tell me. I am the only person he has left and if anything is wrong he won't come to me, he doesn't go to anyone..he needs people to force it out of him" Angela rambles and Lucy sighs
"He saw Isabelle yesterday.I didn't know about her ..but I did overhear a conversation between the two and I know she was his wife, well is his wife but left him and took everything" Lucy says and Angela gasps and covers her mouth

"Oh my gosh..that's why he was so quiet yesterday..why didn't I push him to tell me?! Oh my gosh" Angela covers her mouth and Lucy sighs
"It's not your fault Angela, he's a grown ass man" Lucy says softly and Angela sighs.

"Lopez roll call, you're nearly late!" They hear grey shout.
"I gotta go and train the boot. I understand that you and him don't get along very much..but can you please check on him?" Angela begs and Lucy nods..she needs to settle this uneasy feeling.

"Thanks so much! Call me" Angela says and runs off, Lucy sighs and looks up to the ceiling slightly frustrated and walks off.

Tim storms away from Lucy the night before and jumps into his truck and speeds off, today was absolutely not what he expected. First of all he was partnered up with the person who has the biggest grudge against him then he saw his wife?

He drives home, pulls into his driveway and gets out before slamming his door. He storms into the house and pulls out his cheap bottle of strong whiskey.

He didn't know who Lucy was trying to interfere into his life, it's got nothing to do with her and he's not a charity case.
He takes a long swig of whiskey and the burn felt relieving going down his throat.

He spent that night getting wasted, moping about his feelings and eventually passing out on the living room floor.

The next morning he woke up with a killer hangover, his head was pounding and his stomach was twisted.
He sits up and suddenly his stomach twists, he uneasily gets up and scrams to the trash can before emptying the contents of his stomach into it.

He groans and slowly pulls out his phone out of his pocket from his jeans from the night before and dials Sargent grey.
"go for Sargent wade grey" grey answers the phone, Tim sighs
" I'm taking a personal" he says with a hoarse voice through the phone.
"Is everything okay?" Grey frowns and asks curiously.
"Yeah. Just came down with flu.." Tim makes an excuse.
"Okay I hope you feel better soon." Grey responds and approves his day off before hanging up.

Tim immediately grabs some pain killers and recklessly picks up the rest of his whiskey and downs it. He knew he was drunk before 8AM in the morning, but who cares? No one cares about him, he thinks.

He sits on the sofa and soon passes out.

Lucy pulls infront of Tim's house and knocks, there wasn't a reply. She got worried, as much as she and Tim aren't close and they dislike eachother..she was still worried.
"Tim open this door now!" She knocks harder, again and again.
"I know you're fucking in here before your truck is here." She shouts again and groans.

She steps back from the doorstep and sees his living room window was open, she peaks in and sees Tim passed out on the couch.
"Shit Tim"she mumbles before climbing through the window and approaching him.

"Tim wake up now!" She panicked shaking him.
"Mmmmm no" he groans, Lucy sighs in relief knowing he's responsive.
"Tim wake up now!" She hits him and he suddenly wakes up.

"Don't hit me!" He slurs dangerously.
"I was checking on you Tim!" She snaps and Tim shakes his head
"You have no right!" He snaps drunkly.
"I do! I was worried after yesterday" she says softly and Tim shakes his head.

"Why because my crack head wife appeared again after taking everything that was worth something to inject into her skin" he scoffs and laying back down.
"Yes Tim! That has got of fucked you up" she snaps.
"Well I was already  fucked up Lucy! No one understands me! They just pity me or judge me!" He snaps again Lucy shakes her head.

"Look your drunk, mad, angry. I get it. But finding comfort in the bottle is not a good coping mechanism. Believe me I know" she says and Tim shakes his head.
"It's my life, my body, I can do what I want" he snaps.

"I'm going to make you food and water to  sober you up. " she says and Tim doesn't reply, Lucy goes into his kitchen.

She makes him some toast, as she was grabbing a knife from the knife block, she sees a shiny dog tag, she recognises it straight away. A military dog tag. She immediately fiddles with her necklace with hers and her husband's rings on and picks up the dog tag and looks at it, it had Tim's name on and all his details..Tim was in the military? She frowns.

She sighs and places the dog tags where she found them and stares down at the food she made him, thinking about her husband..she misses him and so does Oscar..her eyes well up with tears.
