#B4UREAD# A/N- anything that has ' ' around it is a thought

Kim didn't know what to say, she had just witnessed an extremely emotional fight situation between Bosco and his brother, and in the midst of it, discovered something about Bosco that she wasn't even sure Faith knew.

"Kim?" Bosco asked, shocked.

When he had turned around, there she was, standing there, with an unreadable expression on her face.

"Oh my god Bosco, I'm so sorry, I was walking by and..i heard..and, I'm so sorry." Kim blurted out as fast as she could, then put a hand over her mouth, looking so incredably bad about what had just occurred.

"That's okay Kim." Bosco said quietly, running his fingers through his hair.

Kim just stood there, horribly dissappointed in herself for listening in on Bosco's conversation when she could have just walked away.

They stood there, in an awkward silence, contimplating what to say to each other. Finally after a couple uncomfortable moments, Bosco said,

"I, uh . I better get going I gotta work tomorrow." With his head bowed low.

"Uh, yeah me too, I'll see you tomorrow," Kim said, glad to be rid of that awful moment.

Bosco turned to walk away, but after a couple steps, Kim stopped him.

"Bosco," he turned, "If..um, if you ever need to talk about." she trailed off but he understood, he nodded his head.

"Thanks, Kim." He said, before she turned and left.

Bosco stood there for a moment or two, thinking to himself.

'Maybe it's a good thing that some one found out, some one to talk to' then, he too left to his apartment.

the next day.

Bosco dashed into the locker room, swearing to himself for being late again. Out of the corner of his eye he noticed, Davis and Sully smirking in his direction, but he paid no heed to it.

He had been having the worst week of his life, Faith wasn't speaking to him because of the whole Cruz thing, she even requested having different partners for a little while to the leiutenent. Also he barely got any sleep the night before, he kept on dwelling the fact that Kim might tell someone, he didn't want people to treat him like he was some poster boy for domestic abuse, like he had a sign on his chest that said:

^THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN^

Ever since Faith had been mad at him, he had been seeing more and more of what Faith saw in Cruz. Cruz had been acting bitchy, then nice, then bitchy again. He was beginning to get annoyed, but he hadn't liked someone this much in a long time and he din't intend of losing it.

Bosco rushed into roll call just in time. He grabbed a seat in the back next to Davis, who was saving him a seat. Sully was sitting up front with Faith.

Davis had noticed the dramitic change in the friendship of Bosco and Yokas, but didn't ask what had caused it. Davis was the only person in Bosco's life to understand him, with out knowing why he was the way he was. Davis understood that something bad had happened to Bosco in his childhood, Faith had told him and Sully that Bosco had had a bad childhood and didn't like to talk about it.

When roll call ended, Bosco got up to get the radios for him and his 'partner for the week'. Leiu had told him that the guys name was something Williams, Bosco wasn't really paying attention at the time. When he received the radios, he turned around to find a young kid with blond hair, blue eyes and a blank expression on his face.

"You Williams?" asked Bosco.

"Yes sir, I am Williams." Said the kid, nodding his head stupidly.

'This is going to be a long day.'
