Younger - #16

(55) Challenge: Day 16 - 12/16/19

Song: Younger by Seinabo Sey and Kygo (This is one of my all-time favorite songs! If you haven't heard it, make sure you check it out!)

There's a conclusion to my illusion

I assure you this

There's no end to this confusion

If you let it wish you well

Soul to sell

Highest bidders, can't you tell what you're getting?

There is a light to all this darkness

I will tell you this

There's redemption in you asking them just why it is

Some answers are better left unspoken

When you know you ain't getting any

"Brett, are you sure about this?" Asked Chief Boden as he glanced up at her.

"I'm sure, Chief." Whispered Brett as she tried to hide the tears she had forbidden to fall.

Boden nodded before he picked up his pen and signed the two transfer papers in front of him.

"We're gonna miss you around here, Brett. If you ever need or want to come back, always know that you have a place here.

Brett smiled as she reached across the desk and grabbed her papers, "Thank you, Chief, but I don't think this is going to be like Fowlerton. I know that this is where I'm meant to be.

Boden looked at Brett and nodded before she slowly walked out of his office.

Younger, younger, younger, are you?

Younger, younger, younger, are you?

You ain't getting any

Younger, younger, younger, are you?

Younger, younger, younger, are you?

You ain't getting any

Younger, younger, younger, are you?

Younger, younger, younger, are you?

You ain't getting any

Younger, younger, younger, are you?

Younger, younger, younger, are you?

You ain't getting any, gettin' any

Not everyone reacted well to Brett's news that she was leaving Chicago for New York City. Foster and Kidd practically threatened to murder her. Cruz had tears in his eyes one Brett was done talking, and Casey hasn't said a word to Brett since the day that she told him.

"I can't believe this is your last shift here with us." Commented Kidd as she watched Brett start to go through her locker and place her things in the box Herman had brought her from Molly's.

Brett looked at her two small friends and smiled, "Hey, don't be sad. Just think of it this way, whenever you two wanna come see me for a girls' weekend we can party in the big apple."

"Yeah," Sadly called out Foster as she put on her CFD vest.

"Don't be sad. Okay. There's really no reason to be, guys. I am truly excited for where life is going to take me."

Everyone in the locker room just nodded and pretended to listen to Brett. It was hard for them all to think about her leaving when it felt like they just got her back.

"Hey, Brett can I talk to you for a minute?" Asked Casey as he stepped in the locker room.

Brett looked up and smiled, "Yeah, sure. I'll come to your office in just a second."

Casey nodded before he looked at everyone in the locker room and left.

"What's up?" Asked Brett as she stepped into Casey's office and found him pacing.

"Ummm...Well, I was wondering..."

"Yeah..." Whispered Brett

Casey sighed, "Brett, why are you leaving?"

"Casey, this is something that I have to do." Whispered Brett as she took in the disheveled man in front of her.

"Why, Brett? Why do you have to do it?"

"I just have to. I know this is something that I need and it's something that will be really good for me."

"Okay," Sadly whispered Casey, "I'm sorry if I upset you by asking, it's just something that I needed to know."

Brett patted Casey on the arm before she walked out of his office, "It's okay. I'll see you tomorrow at my going away party, right?"

Casey didn't say anything he just nodded and watched her leave before he whispered to the quiet room, "Stay."

Younger, younger, younger, are you?

Younger, younger, younger, are you?

You ain't getting any

Younger, younger, younger, are you?

Younger, younger, younger, are you?

Why we fight to get on loving I've been wondering

How your mind will leave you hanging your heart lingering

Stay lost

Then found by whoever stays around, forgetting

There is a way to be yourself, I assure you this

There's a way to catch your dreams without falling asleep

You might as well get it while you can, babe

'Cause you know you ain't getting any

Thanks for reading! Hopefully, I will be able to catch up soon, so I can take a breather. Lol.

Question: Where is one place in the world that you have always wanted to go to and haven't gone yet? - Mine would be Paris; I have always wanted to see the Eiffel Tower. I know this is a random one, lol. But what's yours?

Thanks to everyone who answers my questions! I love you all! Have a great day, I will see you tomorrow!
