This isn't my normal story! It deals with a very tough subject * Warning Domestic abuse and Sexual assault* Ya'll have been warned.. Most of you probably won't read it but if do you thank you!
She sat her desk with her head in her hands trying to gather her thoughts when she heard a knock on her door. She looked up to see Amy standing in front of her. "Captain, You ok?" She tired to wipe away the tears that were threatening to fall but was failing miserably at it. Amy walked in and sat down in front of her and waited on the captain to collect herself. "Yes Amy i'm ok," "How are you, Are you ok?" Amy looked at her commanding officer, "Yes ma'am i'm fine." she smiled sweetly at her. "I wanted to talk to you for moment though. "Oh, what's on your mind Amy?" Amy took a deep breath and focused on her captain's face as she spoke.
After a few minutes of discussing what happen in the interview room with Jack, Sharon had made her mind up that she was definitely going to press charges on jack this time he had hurt enough people in his life and she was going to see to that this was the last time. After they finished their discussion Amy walked out of her office leaving her alone again with her thoughts. How was she going to tell her kids that their father had messed up yet again.
She looked out into the murder room and everyone was busying themselves with their reports she noticed Andy sitting at his desk watching her, she smiled at him as he turned around and continued working on his reports. She decided that now would be best time to call her kids and let them know what happen. As she dialed Emily she sat staring out the window at the city outside. After several minutes of talking with her daughter then her son they both understood and agreed with her about pressing charges. They both knew all too well how their father was especially when he would drink. They were more worried about their mother than they were about him, they had always been worried for her. As she hung up the phone she noticed that everyone had gotten done with reports and other work and were slowly walking out for the night. A soft knock on her office door caught her attention as she looked up andy entered, "Captain, Provenza wanted me to give you these."
"Thank you, Andy i appreciate it," he smiled at her for a moment. "Have a good night then Captain." as he turned toward the door, "Uh, Captain," she looked at him as he rubbed the back of his neck. "Are you going to be ok going home tonight?" he could feel his cheeks turning red. She smiled at him as she stood up and grabbed her stuff. "Yeah, i'll be fine Andy," Thank you for asking as she gently touched his arm as she walked by him and out the door to the elevators.
The next couple of days went by without any more incidents, Jack had made bail and was avoiding her like the plague. He had been calling her trying to get her to drop the charges but she had not changed her mind on it which infuriated him. She didn't care anymore she was tired of making excuses and forgiving him. She was done being his enabler. He had finally crossed the line.
She hadn't been home very long when she heard a knock on the door as she opened it she was surprised to find Jack standing on the other side once again, "What the hell do you want Jack?" She never saw him coming as he pushed his way into her condo, he wrapped his hands around her neck as he began to squeeze harder and harder. After a few seconds he let her go as she started toward her cell phone he picked it up off the table and smashed it against the wall. "I told you that i would make bail and that you would regret what you've done Sharon." as he walked toward her again she never saw his hand coming toward her until he connected with her cheek, as she stumbled backwards she fell and hit her head against the coffee table, after a few seconds she managed to stand up again and ran into her bedroom she made her way around the bed and grabbed the phone off the nightstand, she was dialing 911 he kicked the door in and grabbed the phone away from her. "I told you that you no one is going to help you this time,." As he turned her around she managed to gather her strength as she connected with his jaw as he stumbled backwards she ran out the room and down the hall to the living room as she reached the front door he pulls her by her hair and drags her back down the hall to the bedroom, "I am going to finish what i started the other night," she fought to get away from him as his grip on her hair got tighter as she continued to cry as he threw her on the bed, as he began taking his clothes off she reached over and slid the lamp over and managed to get it within reaching distance as he walks toward her, "You know you want it Sharon, you can't deny it anymore." as he gets to the bed he removes her jogging pants and underwear as he forces himself on her as he starts to thrust in and out of her she reaches over and grabs the lamp and smashes it on his head knocking him out cold. She manages to roll him off of her as she runs down the hall she picks up the phone and dials 911 as she is talking to operator she feels her knees getting weak, after a few minutes the police arrive and have Jack in handcuffs again. She is sitting on the couch wrapped up in a robe as she watches them take her husband out in handcuffs again, she looks up and sees a familiar face. As he walks toward her, "Andy what are you doing here?" he looked at her for a moment, "I was listening to scanner, he smirked at her, so i figured i would come and see if you need me." As she stood up from the couch she stepped closer to him and wrapped her arms around him, as he held her while she cried he noticed that her cheek was turning purple, and he felt and saw the blood on the back of her head., "Sharon you need to go to the hospital," she looked up at him she saw the sincerity, she stepped away from him, "I guess you're right Andy, just as she was about to walk back into her condo everything suddenly went dark, he managed to catch her before she hit the floor. "Someone call the paramedics!"
When she finally came to she noticed that she was laying in a hospital bed, she looked over and saw Andy holding her hand, staring at her,. "What happen?" he smiled at her, "you passed out, you have a concussion and a bruised jaw along with a few other injuries, he hung his head as he spoke. She looked at him confused for a moment as she sat there thought back to what happen earlier in the evening as the realization hit her the tears fell again he looked up at her as she tried to hide her tears, "You don't have to be the strong one all the time sharon., as he held her hand she let the tears flow. He squeezed her hand, " I told you that i would be here if you needed me." She couldn't believe that she had found a friend in the one person that irritated her the most, but here she was letting him in. Now the next step was to finally give Jack exactly what he deserved. After several days in the hospital and at home the doctor finally cleared her to go back to work. She walked into the murder room and into her office everyone watched but didn't say anything. They were just glad to have their captain back, she sat down at her desk and tried to look busy but she didn't feel like doing anything but curling up in bed and hiding under the covers. The one bright side is that jack will be spending the next several years in jail he took the deal that Hobbs offered him. Andy had been watching her since she walked in he was glad that she was at work and that Jack wouldn't be able to hurt her anymore. She looked up to see him staring at her, she waved and gave him a sweet smile his heart skipped a beat when she smiled at him. He never thought that he would be friends with the woman that gave him so much grief in the past.
