[longislanditalian2]

This is a short chapter, but there will be more I promise


Lilly knew that never happened; it was just a ploy to get her to talk. Besides Ray wasn’t really there for her; making it harder for her to unite with him. Drawing in a small inhalation, he got up and left the room.

Now all alone, time slowly went by as Lilly started to think about her own self. She was so consumed with her job that it seemed like she wanted to be alone. As much as that part was true, Lilly had forgotten how good it had felt to be in love. Quite frankly she had also forgotten what it meant to have people in her life.

When Scotty had returned he found that Ray was nowhere to be seen. Upstairs Lilly was there, but there were no signs that she tried to attempt suicide again. In fact when he took her hand, she looked over at him.

“You feeling better”

Lilly nodded” A little bit” as Scotty sat down next to her.

“Tell me” he whispered.


That night he sat there but noticed just how quickly the subject turned back to their job. It was typical Lilly but Scotty knew that this was her safety net, in order to avoid what was really bothering her.

Later on, Scotty came back into the room and discovered that Lilly was gone. Becoming Frantic he grabbed his coat and raced outside and saw footprints leading away from her apartment. Not far from there, Lilly stood in the freezing cold snow looking straight at Ray.

Great Updates!


I hope Lilly gets well soon

[Khaya]

I don't really know 'the Ray-story' because I haven't seen every episode with him, just a few. So I do't really know how Ray is.
So I'm very excited to hear what Lil' has got to say to him

Hope you update soon!

See ya!

[cellogal]

Wow; I'm kinda concerned about Lil. Great job with the updates!

[longislanditalian2]

As the snow began to come down harder, Lilly shivered wanting to get warm quick. By the time the words left her mouth, the two were back in his apartment. Her cop senses were telling her to leave before trouble erupted.

“I need a favor” Ray said

Lilly sighed knowing that this was the only reason why he would ever come to see her. That wasn’t love; she was just being used in order to help him out.

“No, find your own way”. Moments after that, Scotty busted him looking right at Ray before talking her hand. While driving, he took Lilly’s hand into his while looking at her.
He was concerned before pulling off the highway and settling into a hotel for the night.

Now sitting on the bed, Scotty handed her a bottle of water.

“Ray’s a criminal Lil, you need to see that”.

Lilly’s blue eyes met with his” We grew up together, good thing I didn’t marry him; right”

He agreed before pulling her into an embrace; somehow she held on wanting his comfort. It seemed right, since Lilly always felt so secure with him. Tears still streamed downward but found that her ear was pressed against his chest.

She could hear his heartbeat, allowing that sound to soothe her. For awhile, it seemed to help ward off the negative feelings.

By morning however, Scotty came back from getting some coffee when he noticed Lilly standing there.

“Hey” before handing her a cup. Lilly didn’t answer as she sat there feeling a little better; especially after taking a long hot shower.

A little later on, the two went outside in the snow. Closing her eyes, she could feel the coldness while drawing in a deep breath. Scotty then made a snowball but pressed it gently against her cheek, Lilly suddenly felt alive as her cheeks became rosy.

Opening her eyes again, the two resumed walking together. What made that feeling stay was the fact that Scotty was holding her hand. Lilly knew that his comfort had made a big difference then sitting home with two cats that couldn’t really do much.

The wind began to beat down on the detectives, signaling that it was time to seek shelter. Once inside the hotel room, Lilly stared blankly while Scotty changed her bandages.

“Why do this Lil” his voice was a whisper.

“I don’t know” she said as the tears began to flow” I can’t take the nightmares”.

His eyes grew concerned while Lilly spoke of the one thing that made her weak.
“Everyone was outside, I was right outside the room worried about you” before the two shared a moment of crying together. Scotty never wanted to relieve that night, after seeing his partner and friend like that.

When the crying stopped, he finished bandaging up her wrists. Lilly sipped some hot tea and let she relax. Just being with him; she was learning to finally open up and trust someone.

I've seen your latest banner. Very nice work.
It fits good with this chapter of your fanfic.

[spirit]

Nice update, I really like this story!

[longislanditalian2]

That night, after Lilly had fallen asleep on the bed; Scotty was sitting in the living area thinking about the whole thing. He knew she was getting better; but was tiffed that Ray just using her. As much as Scotty hated him; his anger was subsided knowing that for Lilly’s sake it had to wait.

Closing his eyes, Scotty had the worst dream imaginable. He could see Lilly killing herself but couldn’t stop her from doing it.

Crimson blood spilling out from her body, as she lay there dying while he rushed over to where she was. Scotty could feel Lilly’s pulse slowing down; before watching her gasping for sweet precious breath.

His breath quickened as Lilly drew in her last and final breath as she lay there surrounded in her own blood. Looking once more at her, he stared into two lifeless blue orbs.

That’s when Scotty awoke gasping for breath. His heart was practically racing fast as he breathed harder hoping that was just a dream. In fact it was true, since Lilly was sitting next to him.

“Scotty” her voice spoke softly and calmly.

His heart was now beating faster and faster” Lil, you’re alive” he managed to say.

Lilly nodded” I heard you shouting, and came out here”



Scotty leaned back as Lilly covered him up with a blanket.

“I don’t want you to die” he said

She turned around” Got no intention of that, besides I need to get back to work”.

Those made him laugh, knowing that a part of her was coming back. Maybe it was just worry; as his eyes closed hoping for a better dream.

For Lilly she knew that her past had to be put behind. There was nothing more that she could to do change it.
Drawing in deep breath, Lilly got back into bed before drifting back off into a deep sleep. By morning, she awoke feeling refreshed before coming out into the living room.

Today the two were leaving to go back home, but Scotty didn’t think that Lilly was ready to come back to work. When they arrived back at her place, she felt even better.

“Want me to stay” he asked

Lilly shook her head “I’ll be fine, you need some sleep”.

Scotty smiled” You know if you need anything” before she interrupted” Hey”.

After he had left, Lilly went upstairs and began to do some yoga; something she enjoyed a lot. In the middle of it, a vision of the shooting occurred mixed with the day she had last saw her mother alive.


TBC...

[Khaya]

I'm glad Lil's getting better.
Funny thing with the yoga.
Well written. Good job! ;D

[cellogal]

Good job! I like how Lil is taking care of Scotty, however briefly. He spends so much of his time trying to be the hero that I don't think he realizes how broken he is as well. I like how Lil is strong enough to help him this time.

[longislanditalian2]

By the next morning, Lilly stood at the grave of her mother thinking about her last words. She knew she did love her despite everything; but looking down there was a single white rose. Glancing over, Lilly noticed that it was Scotty who had placed it there.

Being quiet, he took her hand into his as Lilly let go of another rose. With a whisper of “goodbye” the two headed away from the cemetery. For awhile she walked around the streets needing to be by her; before heading into a yoga class.


When she came out of the class, Lilly felt refreshed and energized before continuing enjoy the day. Meanwhile, Scotty decided to get some rest hoping that would in fact; calm him down. In his dreams he could see Lilly lying underwater with her eyes open. When he went to pull her up out of the water; she was dead.

In Reality, Lilly was sitting in her living room trying to make sense of everything. A knock at the door startled her as she opened it up.

“Kite what are doing here” she asked

He stood there” I heard what happened, just wanted to see if you were alright”.

Lilly smiled” Fine, just been under stress” another lie but wanted to avoid mentioning the emotional breakdown.

The two silently said goodbye before, Lilly stood there finally realizing that there were people who cared for her. It felt good to feel wanted; but wondered why Scotty hadn’t called her. After trying his cell for an hour, she grew worried about him.

Outside the snow was coming down harder, Lilly wasn’t about to walk there. Instead she got into bed and went to sleep before early morning soon arrived. After dressing, Lilly was ready to tackle the newest case. Even on her way down to headquarters, she grabbed some coffee while trying to avoid slipping on the ice.

Once in the bullpen, everyone was glad to see her. Still Lilly scanned around the room searching for her partner.

“Where’s Scotty” she asked

Vera shrugged his shoulders” Late, as usual”.

A look of confusion appeared on her face before heading down to the warehouse to find the case box. The squad had recently got a tip which made them reopen a very old case.

During the day, Lilly was her usual self; giving no signs that she had recently recovered from an emotional breakdown. As Days went on by, Scotty was nowhere to be seen.

In fact he needed to find a way out. …

Very good. No love. Love is a bad idea

Eeer.. I have no idea actually. I'm always surprised about the ideas you come up with!

Nice update! Good luck writing the next one!

[cellogal]

I like this last update! Where's Scotty? I'm concerned...

I think you can have Lil go and find/comfort Scotty without having them fall in love. It's what friends do.

[longislanditalian2]

Lilly was worried about Scotty, as she walked along the streets in search for him. While breathing in the cold air, she began to think about how strong their friendship was. It was now important for her to find him; especially after he helped her through the emotional breakdown.

She then spotted his car at a hotel, but quickly got access to his room. With that Lilly opened the door carefully, before calling out his name.

“Scotty”
There was no answer, but then Lilly sat him sitting down on the bed.

“Hey” she whispered before gently touching his shoulder” Talk to me”.

He then looked downward not wanting to look at the person he cared so much about. Lilly was then surprised when, Scotty lay his head down on her chest. Throughout the entire night she tried to comfort him; not knowing that the sound of her own heartbeat was soothing him.


By the next morning, Lilly awoke to find him gone…


TBC...

[Khaya]

Gone again..

Now Lilly doesn't have an emotional breakdown but Scotty!
Noce thinkingwork, very realistic.

Praise indeed!

[longislanditalian2]

It didn’t take long for Lilly to find him, before taking Scotty back to the room. He was already angry but; she knew that they both needed to help each other. Soon as the door had shut, things grew a little emotional.

“I just keep on having these dreams” Scotty said while Lilly held him.

“Shh, it’s okay” her voice was now reduced to a whisper as a single tear stream downward.

He then rolled onto the bed, and lay down on his stomach before Lilly lay her head down on his back. She listened to him breathe, knowing that he was the only person who could ever see and respect her as is.

For awhile, Scotty could see flashes of her from that day bleeding. He remembered just how scared he knew that if Lilly had died he would have lost his best friend.

When he finally looked over, Scotty reached out his hand; before stroking her cheek.
Lilly knew in a way that he loved her; but she didn’t want to ruin the friendship they had. Besides it was better that way.

“Hey” he whispered
“Hey” she responded softly” You alright now”?

Scotty let out a breath before closing his eyes, as Lilly pulled the covers closer to him. To her, she knew that their friendship was the only relationship that seemed to last. In the middle of the night, the two awoke looking over at each other.

“I’m just so worried lately” Scotty said

Lilly gave a small smile” Don’t be, I’m here right”?

He let out a breath” I just care for you so much Lil”

The two them held each other’s hand, knowing just how strong their friendship was. Scotty wasn’t about to tell her about how depressed he had been feeling. In fact this had nothing to do with the shooting at all, but something else.

After she had fallen asleep, Scotty glanced over at his friend. He knew that she couldn’t help him; despite him helping her out of an emotional breakdown.

“I’m sorry Lil, for everything” he thought.


Now heading into bathroom, Scotty ran some water in the tub before drawing in a deep breath. Upon hearing the noise, Lilly awoke as she found her partner’s head submerged underwater. Her heart began to race as she pulled him up.

Scotty gasped while breathing harder” Let me go now”.

“No, I can’t lose you” Lilly said almost breaking into tears.

He then tried again before she prevented him from doing so” We need each other, without you I’d be dead now”.


Lilly was certainly opening up, knowing that Scotty was the one person who was constantly in her life.
Breathing harder, he began to break down and cry as she held him.
