Will tomorrow never come Chapter 4: Tomorrow never come, a third watch fanfic

Sometimes late at night
I lie awake and watch her sleeping
She's lost in peaceful dreams
So I turn out the lights and lay there in the dark
And the thought crosses my mind
If I never wake up in the morning
Would she ever doubt the way I feel
About her in my heart

Only one gesture, this gesture, which Faith made when she put down the phone. This gesture which made her sick, a gesture of good or bad news. That which allows us to know who called, what he wanted. Alex. Faith sank down on the sofa. Things happen, the reasons unknown. Particularly this night, this night lit by a bright moon, as though it was day. Creating the feeling that nothing was normal, that tomorrow will never come.

If tomorrow never comes
Will she know how much I loved her
Did I try in every way
To show her every day
That she's my only one
If my time on earth were through
And she must face the world without me
Is the love I gave her in the past
Gonna be enough to last
If tomorrow never comes

Nothing happens by chance; at least that's what some people think. Faith rushed towards the hospital, so close to her home, and yet, so far away. All these reds lights, these stop signs, these pedestrians who walk anywhere, all these people around her, who don't know what's happening… Faith wanted to scream at them to move away, that her friend, someone she rejected, someone who asked her to help him, was now in critical shape. She wanted to scream, cry, and die.

'Cause I've lost loved ones in my life
Who never knew how much I loved them
Now I live with the regret
That my true feelings for them never were revealed
So I made a promise to myself
To say each day how much she means to me
And avoid that circumstance
Where there's no second chance
To tell her how I feel

Street, bridge, parking, she arrived at last. She jumped out of the car and ran into the hospital. All these broken faces, of cops, of firefighters, who were there, on the accident scene, trying to help. Faith recognized some of them; and then recognized four faces, four friends, colleagues she could count on.

She ran to them. Alex had a blank expression on her face, one Faith couldn't read. She then looked between the others; Jimmy, Carlos and Ty. The last one crying… A man crying. A cop. The image of calm… Ty represented calm, softness, coolness that lifted spirits at the end of each day. But at the sight of the officer, Faith no longer felt the panic but guilt growing inside her instead.

She'd argued with Bosco, rejected him, and now he was here, lost in this place, somewhere between life and death. And all the things she would like to tell him, the apologies she wanted to give him; all, nothing, never…

Never stop talking to people; tell them our feelings in the moment! Sort out your feelings, hear them before judging. Faith didn't do this, all her hate left her, all her frustration too, however she didn't bear a grudge against Bosco, but against Cruz. He was there so she exploded on him. Never she could imagine that he would be hurt, that something could happen to him, that maybe she wouldn't see him again; that she couldn't apologize. He was there through nine years, he would always be there!

Everything stopped. Thoughts immobilized; glances fixed. The doctor arrived, a horrific expression painted on his face. Faith came to realize, her friend wouldn't come back. He had died this night.

So many regrets, so many words that weren't said, and others said with so much scorn; suffer, ache, all this pain is a course of life. Soul searches itself, conscience roams. She didn't believe it, she felt the words tear at her heart, kill her inside. The doctor didn't stop talking and when she looked at him, she understood that tomorrow will never come.

So tell that someone that you love
Just what you're thinking of
If tomorrow never comes

THE END
