What ever happened to us? - A Chenford Story

Chapter 7: Life without Her

Tims POV:

Its been 2 weeks since her funeral. Grey told me i could take as long as i wanted off work to clear my head from losing her. I would normally argue but this time was different, i needed this time to take in the news of losing someone i truely love all over again. I dont think ill ever move on from her.

3rd person POV:

2 weeks after Lucys Funeral.. Tim has just been rotting at home crying and being depressed about Lucys death. Angela checks up on Tim every day while also dealing with her own grief of losing a friend.

*knock knock

Angela knocks on Tims front door to do her daily check in. When Tim heard this he knew it was Angela so he lazily walked to the front door to let her in.

*creak* The Door was opened by Tim

A: Good Morning.

T: Good Morning Ange

A: Can i come in?

Tim completely forgot to let her in..

T: Oh yes sorry forgot.

Angela entered the house

A: Its ok, i know your not okay right now. Losing Lucy in the most horrible way was traumatic for you.

T: Yeah, but i wish i was the one who died. Why did it have to be her?

A: I get your pain Tim but we need to stop thinking of what we couldve done to save her. There was absolutely nothing that we could do about it.

Tim was silent, he was spaced out thinking what would have happened if he switched places with her. He didnt hear a word Angela said cause he was still coping and playing himself the other possible scenarios that couldve happened instead of what did.

A: Tim?

A: TIM!

*Angela raised her voice as she knew Tim was spaced out.

T: What! Jeez dont scare me like that.

A: Sorry it was the only thing i could do to get your attention, you were spaced out.

T: Oh sorry i was just thinking what i couldve done to change it.

A: Tim i just told you, it was her time to go nothing you couldve done would change that. You need to accept it we all do.

T: I know Ange but i feel like if i accept it im removing her from my life...

A: You wont ok, in her letter she told me to tell you to move on and find someone who will make you happy again. Shes not saying you should forget about her, she just wants you to be happy and enjoy life again.

T: I know but its hard to find someone new again knowing that it will never be her.

Angela hugged Tim and helped him clean around his house a bit. She fed Kojo, took out the takeout containers that havent been thrown, and made sure to leave a supply of food for Tim knowing that he wont be going out of his house for a while. After 1 hour passed Angela had to leave to go back on patrol. Tim was now alone in the house again with Kojo.

T: I miss her so much Kojo

*Tim says tears falling from his eyes

*Kojo wimpers in agreement with his emotional owner

Tim hugged one of Lucys hoodies. As it smelled like her it gave him a lot of comfort. Both Tim and Kojo were staring at Lucys photo until they eventually fell asleep. When Tim woke up he was confused on where he was. There were lights and machines everywhere....
