Ok, so here is my second song-chapter, it's a tad depressing :p Its to 'Someone like you' by Adele, I heard the song, and again, thought up the chapter, and decided I wanted to put it into this fic! I obviously don't own the song, Adele does :) Burton's Disney Princess has also done a song fic to the same song, on her shuffling fic which is worth a read!

I'll pre-warn you guys now, I'm going away for the weekend, so I'll update tomorrow, but then wont be able to update untill Monday. I also have the feeling it'll leave you on a bit of a cliff hanger (which I didnt plan, but it lets me live up to my name!)

Anyway, here is the chapter, I'm not actually sure if I like it now, so please bear with the fic if you dislike this chapter!

Chapter 10: Someone like you

I heard that you're settled down.
That you found a girl and you're married now.
I heard that your dreams came true.
Guess she gave you things I didn't give to you.

Old friend, why are you so shy?
It ain't like you to hold back or hide from the lie.

TJ lay in bed, he checked the time, and realised that Spinelli would now be in work, and that she would be along soon enough, to take his blood pressure like she did every morning. Time passed slowly when Spinelli wasn't around, TJ had been kidding himself just how much he'd missed her up until this point. She seemed different now, but he often felt that he could see the old Spinelli shining through. One thing that hadn't changed was her beauty, TJ and always found Spinelli attractive, but now she was simply breath taking. TJ heard footsteps, and looked up to see a middle aged woman in pale green, the same uniform and colour as Spinelli wore. Looking at Mr Smith, asleep in the next bed, she bypassed him, and headed straight for TJ.

"Mr Slater? Time to do your obs" she said, sitting next to me "I'm Avril"

"Where's Spi-I mean where's Ashley?" asked TJ, putting out his arm "Is she working today?"

"Young dark haired woman? The new one?" Avril asked, TJ nodded "No, she's not in work, we always work the same area of the ward for continuity for the patients. Its Ashley's day off today"

"Oh" said TJ sadly, he'd gotten used to seeing Spinelli the past few days, and it was strange not seeing her, if he was missing her now, what would it be like when he got discharged from the hospital? This was a thought TJ didn't want to consider right now. Instead he just finished lamely "She never said"

"And why would she say?" asked Avril, looking at TJ in a confused manner "I believe she is a married woman Mr Slater, and also a member of staff"

"Oh, no I wasn't saying-"

"Your observations are improving today" replied Avril, interrupting TJ "How are you managing with washing? Do we help you?"

"Only with my back" said TJ in monotone "I do the rest"

I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited,
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it.
I hoped you'd see my face & that you'd be reminded,
That for me, it isn't over.

In the background, one of the nurses turned up the radio, and TJ heard the start of someone like you, by Adele. As the words played, he began to think even more of Spinelli.

Never mind, I'll find someone like you.
I wish nothing but the best for you too.
Don't forget me, I beg, I remember you said:
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead"
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead, yeah.

TJ had loved Spinelli for years, he'd given his heart to her a long time ago, she'd always had it. He'd known that from the moment they'd kissed in the fourth grade; even if he didn't show it, or admit it at the time. It was Spinelli, it had always been Spinelli; she was the girl for him. When he'd woken up after everything that had happened with Jimmy, he was devastated, finding out his family were all gone. There was only one person he'd waned at that point, and that was his best friend, Spinelli. It had then been explained to him, that he was entering the witness relocation programme, and that he would, under no circumstance, be able to have contact with Spinelli, or anyone else in his 'past' life. They explained that as far as everyone knew, he too had died. TJ had felt so alone, Spinelli was more than just a friend, she was his everything, his world, someone he'd spent all his time with, not only did he loose his family that day, he lost his best friend.

He'd learned to live with the fact his family had died, he missed them every day of course and life without them had been awful, but he'd at least had the closure of knowing they'd passed on. It was different with Spinelli, there had been no closure, knowing that she was continuing to live her life without him, believing he'd passed on like his family. TJ had imagined what she was doing with her life so many times, he'd even dreamed of their paths crossing, and Spinelli seeing him, and the two of them having this amazing, emotional moment, both realising that they were still in love. TJ had also hoped she was happy, and this was at least true. Spinelli was strong willed, if she didn't care about Lawson, if she wasn't happy with him, she wouldn't have married him. So despite the fact that TJ hated the guy, he was still happy for Spinelli, because she was happy.

You'd know how the time flies.
Only yesterday was the time of our lives.
We were born and raised in a summery haze.
Bound by the surprise of our glory days.

Yes, TJ couldn't deny, despite everything, that he really was happy for Spinelli. Sure it was tough to see her with someone else, but he loved her, and love sometimes hurt. TJ loved Spinelli so much that it hurt. He may have been happy for her, happy that she'd found someone else that realised just how amazing she was, of course, realising that wasn't difficult, not in TJ's opinion. The hard thing was that the one person that Spinelli had found to love her, just happened to be his arch rivel, but if he made Spinelli happy, then that was a good thing.

The last thing TJ would have wanted is for Spinelli to be sad, miserable, or lonely. He left her life, and even if it wasn't his own choice to leave her, at least Spinelli had found someone to show her the fun she'd previously described. TJ was happy that she could find someone that could give her what he couldn't. He genuinely wished the best for Spinelli and Lawson, simply because Spinelli was the best. Therefore she deserved nothing more than the best, and the best may not be a former best friend that had been absent from her life for ten years.

However, despite all of these facts, it did kill TJ to see this, to see Spinelli, married to Lawson. This was probably because for Spinelli it, whatever it was between them, it was clearly over, it had been when she'd been told he'd died; but for him it just wasn't.

I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited,
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it.
I hoped you'd see my face & that you'd be reminded,
That for me, it isn't over yet.

TJ wished that one day, he would find someone like Spinelli, but in reality he knew that would never happen. It would never happen because Spinelli was amazing, and one of a kind, no one he'd met in the previous ten years and measured up to her, and no one ever would. Listening to the words of the song, all about finding someone like the one you loved was tough, what did you do if there was no one like that one amazing person? It killed TJ to know that he'd missed his chance to have that amazing person. He knew he'd never find someone like Spinelli.

Nevermind, I'll find someone like you.
I wish nothing but the best for you too.
Don't forget me, I beg, I remember you said:
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead", yay.

Those ten years without Spinelli had been so long, but at the same time, his happy memories of his childhood, almost all of which Spinelli was in, seemed so fresh, just like they'd happened yesterday. Those were the glory days, blissful innocence and happiness, not realising the change of events that lay ahead of them. TJ's feelings were still so strong, it was as though a few days had passed, not a decade.

He only wished that Spinelli would realise who he really was, and that for him, it wasn't over. But, fact was, ten years had passed, and she hadn't even seen his face, so how could he expect her to recognise this? Or realise that he still had feelings for her?

Nothing compares, no worries or cares.
Regret's and mistakes they're memories made.
Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste?

As the song drew to a close, the words made TJ realise that he would need to move on. Sure, he loved Spinelli more than life itself, but she was married, she had her own life, so it was time to move on; he knew he probably should have moved on ten years ago. He had no idea how he'd manage to move on, but he'd cross that bridge when it came to it. He didn't have to do that right away, he would make the most of her bittersweetness of seeing Spinelli most days, and spending time with her. Finally, when it was time for him to leave hospital, he would make his own life, accepting the closure of seeing that Spinelli had a new life; she wasn't even Spinelli anymore, she was Ashley Lawson.

Nevermind, I'll find someone like you.
I wish nothing but the best for you too.
Don't forget me, I beg, I remembered you said:
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead"

As I said before, Im not sure now if I like this or not, but I'm posting it nonetheless!

RandallXSpinelli: Lawson does seem to be changing, I guess time will tell if its an act! This chapter obviously gave more of a perspective of how TJ was feeling about Lawson and Spinelli, but we know the guy definetly gets under TJ's skin, even if he is happy for Spinelli! You may not love the first bit of my next chapter, but its the only bit like that in the entire fic!

Omgpear: lol, I'm glad it made your day, I thought it'd be fun, to share the funniness! So you defently don't think Lawson has changed then? I'm glad you liked the connection between TJ and Spinelli! I hope you enjoyed this chapter!

Burton's Disney Princess: lol, I'm glad you liked Mr Smith, he was funny! I'm glad you liked the cute/fluffyness of the last chapter, but typical of Lawson to ruin it! I hope you enjoyed this one, since you were looking forward too it, as I said, Im not too happy with it now :s

I'm dyslexic, so I'll apologise now for any spelling and grammar mistakes, I've done my best to make sure they're not there!

Please read and review! Constructive criticism welcome!
