A/N: Someone pointed out to me that Scotty would have stayed by her beside no matter what. Opps my bad, I punish myself by forcing myself to watch back to back episodes of cold case. Till I either fall asleep of died from dehydration due to the fact that I have been drooling over Danny Pino. This chapter is in Lilly's POV
you know how they say, when going to die your whole life flashes before your eyes. It's not true it's more like little snippets of your life. Seeing the good things not so much of the bad. I saw the few
good times I had with my mother. Playing in the snow, her reading me the velveteen rabbit. And then other memories getting into the police academy, making it into homicide and when I decided to work cold jobs. Then for some reason I was seeing Scotty, the first day we met in the observation room so close to where I had fallen to the ground after Ed shot me. I don't really remember much after that, I remember seeing the glass shattering and Scotty running in and securing the weapon,
then the look of fear on his face as he looked in direction. Vaguely remember his arm around me and him yelling for the paramedics but the rest is a blur.
When I woke up I was in hospital, groaning I sat up and winced as pain shoot through me. Holly crap I had heard from kat that it hurts when you get shot but I never expected this. Looking down I saw the bandage around my arm and touched it tentatively. Just then a nurse walked in
"Oh good your awake, how are you feeling" what a stupid question I thought I've been shot I feel like I've been hit by a truck how the fuck does she think I feel. I bite my tongue however and manage to
tell her politely that I am okay.
"your boyfriend said he'll be in to see you this morning" what had
she just said, my boyfriend?
"Who?" I ask a confused look appears on her face as if she is concerned I all of a sudden have amnesia.
"tall, dark, handsome, slight accent, dark hair and eyes" she said
basically describing Scotty.
" oh, that's my partner Scotty Valens" I said and she smiled.
"He was very worried about you" she said and I nodded
"He's a little over protective" I said
"I think it's more than that" she said "I've seen that look that he was giving you a lot in the ten years of being a nurse, it was more than friendly concern"
"What do you mean?"
"Oh...it's just...never mind"
"No, what?"
"Well it's just when he was leaving last night I just thought I heard him say that he loved you" she said. Hang on what did she just say, Scotty said he loved me no, no, no, she must of misheard. Why would Scotty be in love with me.
I was the ice queen of homicide, the woman whose relationships lasted no longer than a month if I was lucky. Scotty was the guy that stuck it out in a relationship when it was clear he wasn't getting much in return. If he did love me he wouldn't have gotten with Chris.
But wait now that I really think about it I can remember something from last night. I can remember someone hand, someone talking to me but thought I was dreaming.
The nurse left the room and I sighed, Scotty couldn't love me. He's never seen anything before, Scotty was definitely the kinda guy that he sees something he wants he goes for it.
It had to be wrong; I sighed and closed my eyes. Trying to think of anything else and wishing I could be anywhere but here. When I heard a knock on the door and I looked up and saw Scotty Valens, in the flesh and I saw the look the nurse was talking about.
