Waverly ran towards nicole, practically running her over. "Oh my god baby are you okay?!"
"I'm fine, just a bruise." Nicole said trying to mask the pain she was in.
"What happened?" Waverly asked. "Chasity got a little carried away on the field. She ran in a little prematurely, there were some gunshots and I took one to the side. My vest took most of the blow though." Nicole said.
"What is up with you getting shot?" Waverly asked. "It's a lesbian thing." she said smiling weakly. "I can't believe Chasity! She almost got you killed! She should be fired." Waverly said her anger beginning to rise. "She's a rookie cop that made a mistake. It's fine." "YOU GOT SHOT!" Waverly yelled rummaging around looking for her bandages and medicine.
"I'm a cop, Waverly." Nicole said as she lifted up her shirt. Waverly sat down in front of her starting to apply the medicine. "That doesn't mean you need to risk your life protecting some dumb rookie." Waverly said rolling her eyes. "Actually, yes it does. She's my rookie and my responsibility. If something happened to her I wouldn't be able to live with myself." Nicole said trying to hide the pain, wincing a little. Waverly paused, "You really care about this girl huh?"
"I CARE about doing my job, not that you've been a big help with that lately." Nicole said giving her a stern look. "Do NOT blame this on me. You're the one that can't get to work on time" Waverly started to apply the medicine a little rougher out of anger. Nicole flinched, "Because YOU won't let me!" Waverly looked at her wide eyed, "...won't let you? WON'T LET YOU?! What are you five? You're a grown woman you can make your own decisions. No one is making you do anything." "You know I can't say no to you." Nicole said. "That sounds like a you problem…" Waverly retorted.
"Well what about the kiss at work? You know damn well Nedley is on my ass….you know what? Maybe you ARE my problem. You and you're selfish and impulsive attitude. Never thinking about the consequences." Nicole instantly regretted those last words.
Waverly said nothing. She sat the medicine down and went upstairs to the bedroom locking the door behind her. Nicole sighed and followed, feeling the pain in every step. "Waves...wait" she tried opening the door, "Please open up. I shouldn't have said all that."
No answer. "Guess I'm sleeping on the couch then huh?" Nicole asked. "YUP!" Waverly yelled turning out the lights. Nicole started to walk to the couch when it dawned on her. "Hey! This is MY house! What kind of bullshit is this?" Nicole yelled. "Oh, I'm sorry. I don't want to be a distraction to you when you wake up for work. I think Calamity will make a much better sleeping buddy than me!" Waverly yelled from the bedroom. "Yes she will!" Nicole said trying to get the last word in as she laid on the couch. "Meow" said Calamity jumping onto the redheads stomach. "Ouch! Easy girl...I guess you're gonna be my buddy tonight. Just like the old days." Nicole fell asleep with Calamity cuddled into her chest.
