A chenford story. Lucy is a rookie at the academy. At work she's always been happy, its her safe space. Which could be perceived as ironic. But at home - behind closed doors, there are things happening that no one knows about. Things she - herself denies. Chris, her current boyfriend is abusive. Emotionally and physically. At fiest he wasn't like that. He made her feel special - you know? Like she was the only person in the world. He only had eyes for her. Or atleast - that was until the alcohol came into the picture. Things got out of hand fast, too fast for Lucy to conteol. But what happens when Tim, her TO - sees the bruises on her arm? When she starts acting stranger by the day? Will he talk to her about it? Or keep ignoring it - because its not his business..? WARNING!! This story will contain mention of alcohol abuse, harsh language, possible selfharm and other mental health issues and smut. If you know you get triggered easy - i would strongly suggest not to read this. Also this story will contain some taylorswift references - and with that i mean short cut outs from song-lyrics. Enjoy.

I don't rly want to do a story description but I promise it's good. I do not own any of the characters just the story line. Enjoy!

This story is based on a promo pic of Grey, Celina, Tim & Angela in the hospital.

She's my rookie. I can't have feelings for her. That's what I keep telling myself. But every day I ride with Lucy Chen is another day I fall for her. She's my ride or die. She always has my back. And I will never let anything happen to her. I'd die for her. But she can't know how I feel, nobody can. Falling For Lucy is my thesis on how and why Tim Bradford has been falling for Lucy Chen since the very beginning of the show. I, personally, believe the show writers did not do this on purpose, and the story has written itself. This is my detailed account of Tim Bradford's POV throughout The Rookie with some creative liberties taken to fill in the blanks. This is a super slow burn, just like the show. This book will always be 100% canon to the show. And yes, I am watching the show five seconds at a time giving you every detail of every second of Tim Bradford's experience. This is The Rookie: Tim's POV. So if that sounds interesting to you, you will enjoy this book. Also! Check out Lusting For Lucy for more mature bonus chapters, one-shots, and alternate timelines. I have the entirety of Dim & Juicy written over there, and it seems to be a fan favorite with an additional steamy alt ending. Enjoy!

Tim Bradford is all about rules-especially when it comes to the job. As Lucy Chen's training officer, he's spent the last four months teaching her discipline, control, and how to survive the streets of L.A. What he doesn't expect is needing her help off-duty. When he's invited to an ex-girlfriend's destination wedding in Hawaii-with a "plus one" attached-Tim impulsively asks Lucy to come along and pose as his girlfriend. It's supposed to be simple. Professional. Just one week of pretending. But pretending becomes harder when shared hotel rooms, long beach nights, and stolen glances blur every line they've tried to keep. The flirting feels too real. The kisses start to mean too much. Under the Hawaiian sun, two cops used to following the rules might just break the most important one of all-never fall for your partner

This story follows on from episode 11 of season 2. After realizing how close to Christmas the Day of the Dead was, I thought I'd write a story about Lucy's journey back to "normal". It won't be an easy journey, but she has people around her to help her...
