Author's Note: This is my first story for Wayhaught so bare with me. Other then that, enjoy.
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters from the Wynonna Earp series. All I own is the idea of this story.
Chapter 1-Back
The air seems to have thicken as tears fall ever so slowly down pale skin. Nicole took a few steps back as Waverly had just confessed to her about the kiss. The kiss that was shared with another. Silence filled the room for both didn't know what else to say.
"Say something" Waverly finally uttered as tears escaped down her own face.
"Who was it?" Nicole needed to know but Waverly stayed quiet. "I need some space." The red head finally decided after what seems like forever. Nicole would have never thought that she would be saying that to the younger Earp. She had never loved someone the way she loves Waverly but the little betrayal broke her heart and she didn't know how to handle it in the moment. With one last look at Waverly, Nicole turned and left the smaller girl behind.
Waverly couldn't find the voice to stop the red head as she watches Nicole walk away. Lone did she know, Nicole wasn't coming back. That night, Nicole decided to pack up and leave Purgatory. Leaving the pain behind.
[Five Years Later]
It was a sad and gloomy day in Purgatory. After battling cancer for several years, the town's beloved Sheriff Nedley had pass away and today was his funeral. It even seems like everyone was at the Nedley estate to pay their respects. Almost everyone anyways.
"I'm so sorry for your lost Chrissy" Waverly greeted the crying blonde as she wraps a comforting arm around her friend. After everything, Waverly and Chrissy reconnected and became best friends.
"Who's going to be sheriff now?" Champ Hardy asked ignoring the daggers Waverly was shooting him for the inconsiderate timing.
"Are you serious Champ?" Waverly shot back, annoyance in her voice.
"No, it's okay Waverly." Chrissy spoke up, wiping her tears. "I don't trust Champ to understand common sense." The blonde commented while Champ missing it all together. "Daddy had made arrangements for his replacement Hardy. It's not you."
"Why not?" Champ argued. Champ finally made it on to the force after what seems like 100 tries. Some believed that Nedley went soft and lost his mind. Others thought it was Nedley's way of teaching the boy to grow up.
"Champ! This is really not the time." Waverly replied as she pulled Chrissy away. " I didn't know we're getting a new sheriff so soon. Do you know who it is." The news causing Waverly to be a tad bit curious.
"No, I don't but I heard he's from out of town so it's not anyone we know." Chrissy answered but it felt like she didn't want to talk about it. "Is Rosita here with you?" The blonde asked changing the subject.
"No, she's at Shorty's." Waverly replied. Plainly.
"How are you guys?" Chrissy asked knowing that the two were not quite dating but simply keeping each other company during those lonely nights.
"We're fine." Waverly hated talking about her love life. Or lack thereof. Truth be told, she's not over a certain red head and she doesn't think she'll ever be. "Let's get you some food." Waverly try walking away, not wanting to go any further with the conversation. "I promise we'll talk about it. Not today though. Today is about your dad." She turned and say, knowing full well what her best friend was thinking.
The day was long but with everyone around sharing their fondest memories of Sheriff Nedley, it made it bearable. After making sure that Chrissy was alright and Champ wasn't causing trouble, Waverly made her way back to the Homestead. As she drove pass the old lady's house, she can faintly make out a figure entering it. A figure that was painfully familiar. Then everything went black.
[Several Hours Later]
Waverly slowly open her eyes as the bright lights blurred her vision. Blinking several times before she can hear a familiar voice beside her.
"Thank you, baby Jesus!" It was Wynonna. "You almost gave me a heart attack baby girl." Her sister said as she leaned down for a hug.
"Ow Nonna, it hurts" Waverly hiss as several sharp pains was shooting through her body. "What happen?" She wasn't sure how she ended up in the hospital.
"You tell me! We were all leaving Nedley's and all of a sudden, I get a call saying you got into a car accident. Apparently, some asshole decided it was a genius idea to drink and drive. Just wait until I figure out who it is, I'm going to shove my foot down his acholic throat." Wynonna threaten causing her little sister to giggle in pain.
"Auntie Waves!" A little voice screams out from the door way. "You're okie dokie!" The voice couldn't make Waverly any happier.
"Yes Alice, I am now that you're here." Waverly smiles as her niece climbs onto the hospital bed.
"She was ready to attack the bad man that put you to sleep. Her words, not mine" Wynonna mentioned, amused at her daughter.
"I'm sorry to break up this adorable moment but I need to do some test and hopefully get her out of here and home." A new voice came from the door as the Earp girls stopped their chatters. Wynonna picked up litter Alice and made her way out.
"What's up doc?" Wynonna greeted as she passed the tall gorgeous doctor. She turned back, points at the doctor from behind and motioned a thumb up to Waverly.
Waverly rolled her eyes at her sister's attempt at finding girls for her. "Sorry about her." Waverly apologized before sitting up from her bed.
"Don't worry about it. She's a personality. Should have seen her earlier when you first got here." The doctor mused as she made her way over to Waverly and grabbed her charts.
"Oh god, tell me she didn't hit anyone." Waverly wouldn't put it pass her sister to do such a thing.
"No, but that would have made this night exciting. I'm Dr. Williams and I'll be over seeing you." The doctor joked as she introduced herself. "Do you remember what happened?" She then questioned.
"Honestly, not at all. I remember leaving Nedley's house, driving down midtown and now I'm here." Waverly answered, rubbing her head. The doctor was gorgeous she had to admit, feeling her cheeks heat up a bit.
"Well, you were in a car accident. The man that crashed into your car was under the influence and is being questioned right now, outside. It so happened that the accident happened in front of my place so we were able to take care of you on the spot and get you here." The doctor explained to her.
"Oh my, thank you so much!" Waverly was grateful for such good in some people. "Are you new in town? I've never seen you before and I know everyone." Waverly asked curiously.
"Small town this is. Yes, I am new here. We actually just moved here today in midtown." Dr. Williams answered the smaller girl.
"We?" But before the doctor can answer her another voice echoed into the room.
"Shae? Is she..." But before the person can finish their question, Waverly caught their eye and it was like every feeling she kept within went crashing out.
"Waverly, I want you to meet Sheriff Nicole Haught," the doctor started and the surprise was evident on Waverly's face. "My fiancé." And like that everything stopped.
"Of course."
Ain't nobody hurt you like I hurt you
But ain't nobody love you like I do
Promise that I will not take it personal, baby
If you're moving on with someone new
