This is an AU of Lassie and Jules last talk. I was inspired by season six premiere in which Lassie was such a jerk to her. First the lie about the polygraph being broken so he can interrogate her? Then his little tantrum about her lying and telling the chief? Lassiter is a jackass at times.

He hugged her for a brief moment and let everything sink in. Juliet had been offered a job by Karen and yet no one decided to tell him? He couldn't believe she was deceiving him yet again.

He pulls her away and storms to his desk. "Fine then, have a nice life with Karen and Spencer" he hisses.

"Carlton…"

"Oh don't give me that tone Juliet! It's so obvious to me now! You never cared about me" he snaps.

"Carlton!"

"It's true O'Hara! All you do is hold back on me! You held out on me when you and Shawn decided to hook up! Now you're holding out on me about how Karen chose you over me!" he snaps.

"Karen told me she knew you'd be chief and in case I couldn't be your head detective that I was welcome to be with her!" Juliet snaps back.

"Still doesn't explain why you never clued me in!" Carlton snaps.

"You're such a jerk Carlton! I've always had your back partner and yet you still treat me like I'm a doormat!" Juliet snaps.

"You know what I am so glad now you're leaving! Maybe now I can find someone whose honest with me like I should have done three years ago" he snaps.

"Fine, it was nice knowing you Chief Lassiter" Juliet mutters. She stops at the door. "Actually it wasn't Carlton, not if this is how it ends" she adds and storms out.

She runs out of the precinct and barely makes it to her car before the tears flow down her cheeks.

She was a woman who only liked to cry in private. Her only exception was her near death and she cried into the chest of a man she thought was her friend.

After a minute of crying she angrily brushes away her tears and drives away.

"Good riddance then, I don't need you in my life Carlton Lassiter" she mutters as she drives.
