A Single red Rose

He lay in his bed, staring at the teal walls that surrounded him trying to get comfy. Don missed Jess alot. it had been 1/2 a month since she was shot on the job and he missed her like hell. he reached over to his cabinet and pulled out his phone and dialled the first number that came to mind. Mr Daniel Messer. After 4 rings it rang out and went to voice-mail, he dialled the only other number he could remember.

"Bonasera," the far too energetic greek said as Don tried to figure out why she was happy. He called her at 3.30 am. Why was she awake?

"Why you awake, Detective Bonasera?" He asked smugly.

"Mac and I are watching Source Code," she stated proudly "Hey Mac they blew up again".

Don smirked then replied "Oh yes the latest lab couple, how could I ever forget".

"Because I made it my personal mission for you not to," she laughed "Wassup"

Don was lucky to have Stella as she was the only one to answer his 3.30 phone calls although she didn't have to.

he sighed "I can't sleep".

"Mac go pay the chinese guy", she whispered "Look Don, I know you miss Jess but she would want you to move on please stop holding yourself guilty".

"Are you going to Kosta's funeral?" he asked changing the subject.

"Yeah"

"Is Mac going?"he asked sitting up in his bed.

"No I'm going myself", she said so Mac could hear.

Mac wrapped the blanket round her and whispered "We have already discussed this".

"Shut up and watch the film, Don on Friday at the the funeral I'll be beside you but i gotta go, MAC!"

Don looked at his phone then threw it on the ground "Thanks Mac".

He lay in his bed and started to drift off. The black background turned white and a yellow light flew towards him. Jessica's face popped up.

"Jess,Jess!" he found himself yelling.

"Don baby I'm here", Jess cried. her light brown hair was blowing in the wind as was her long white dress. he looked into her sparkling, bright green eyes and began to cry.

"I came to tell you I want you to move on", her straight forward words spoke.

"But I love you", he cried.

"And I'll always love you but there's not point grieving forever", he sighed.

"But I'll never find anyone I love as much as you"

"Look at Mac, Claire died in 2001, 9 years later he falls in love with Stella", he shook his head.

"He always loved her since day 1 as did she"

"Goodbye Don", she whispered as her body faded away.

RIP JESSICA ANGELL XX
