AN: Short and sweet, sometimes that's how I deal.

This was inspired by a song called Into You by Dead By Sunrise

and it was mostly forced inspiration...which is why this chapter is so short, but I felt like I should at least give the readers of this story something more now that I got some of my writing MOJO back.

heh I like that word...

...Mojo...

MOJOJOJO!

Anyone who can tell me where Mojo Jojo is from gets a million cool (possibly not cool) but cool points xD


My life has always been one big stumble.

I was never offered a solid life. I was either taking care of my brother, or being abused as a child. I was either being shot at, or tortured as a young adult; and when I finally grew I was either being bitched at over child support; or looking at sick murdering bastards over an interrogation table.

I never really had anything to live for, until I met her.

Her scientific talk annoyed the hell out of me, but with every case, with every look of understanding in her wide blue eyes, I stumbled more and more.

I found myself wondering, and thinking, wondering how a single woman could affect me more than an abusive father or a war; but somehow she did, and it made me even angrier.

I cared for her, I protected her, I did anything I could for her, and when douche bag men started walking into her life I couldn't take it anymore.

I would get testy and anxious at times, life once again kicking me when I was down, but at this point, I was done.

Fuck all the pain, and fuck all the shit that 'life' was dealing.

For months I simply laid there, going through my days living only for someone else. Sometimes those people were murder victims; but most of the time it was her.

I didn't realize, but over the very first year I knew her, she metaphorically knelt down beside me, and helped me up, holding me up, and giving me my strength back.

The very first time she laid a hand on my arm, comforting me when I confessed a war story to her, was when I realized she brought life…back into my life.

In that single moment, I stumbled and fell.

But I fell into her, and she became everything.

My life.

My soul.

My everything.
