Flannelsanddramaqueens: I did get the meaning of it, I just worded it differently, but thanks anyways!  Thanks so much for the review!

Caz-10-5: Thanks for the review I used it instead of what I was going to do!

All those who think it would be easier to read if I had a new line when someone spoke : I'm workin on it, I got a new program and it's a bit screwed up…

Chapter 6: If only I could Forget

Bosco looked down at Cruz, as he woke up, her hair was sprawled across his lap. She had

fallen asleep with her head in his lap the night before. He stroked the side of her face

gently with his finger; she had had a hard night, really hard. It was the first time she had

really talked about it and each word had brought out heart wrenching sobs, sobs that

Bosco hadn't even thought possible from her. Bosco gently rubbed her side with his

hand, though trying not to wake her. She suddenly gave a small moan and fresh tears fell

into Bosco's lap. Bosco quickly glanced down and saw her crying, but she was still

asleep. He felt as though his heart had been ripped in two, seeing her like this. He had

only seen her cry once like this, when her sister Lettie had died. He gently pulled her into

his lap and hugged her again. She curled up tight against him, still sobbing but feeling a

sense of protection. Bosco rocked her gently and tried to swallow his own pain, she

couldn't even escape reality in her dreams, he still haunted her. A few minutes later

Cruz's breathing became more rapid and her eyes flew open. When she saw she was

laying on Bosco she gave a starled shriek and jumped out of his lap. When she realized

who he was she sank back onto the couch, her cheeks stained with the still flowing tears.

"Bosco..Oh Bosco it was terrible, he was chasing me again, and he caught me, I woke up

and saw a man and I thought it was him, but it wasn't, it was you…Oh Bosco.." She

curled up into his awaiting arms and sobbed even harder. Bosco kissed her on the

forehead "Hey, it's ok, I wasn't going to leave you last night, not in the state you were in,

and I'll stay as long as you need me ok?" Cruz nodded, trying to stem the tears, then

stood up "I'm going to shower ok?" Bosco nodded and went into the kitchen to prepare

breakfast. When Cruz got into the bathroom she lifted her top over her head and looked at

her stomach in the mirror, at least her bruises were getting a bit better, but as she brushed

her hand across them tears stung the back of her eyes, they still hurt. She quickly

showered and went out to where Bosco had breakfast ready. She smiled at him "Thanks

Boz" BOZ! Bosco thought but brushed it off. They ate then just hung around Cruz's

apartment until it was time to go to work. When they got there Bosco went to the chang

room and Cruz headed to the office, Lieu had her working there until she had healed,

only sending her out on things like yesterday, just to easy work. Cruz was not happy.

Asshe walked up to the office Sully walked by her and accidentally bumped into her side.

Cruz grit her teeth together and snapped. She whirled around "SULLY!WATCH

WHERE YOU"RE GOING!" Sully turned around shocked and meekly said "Oh..sorry

sarge" Cruz turned and covered her side with her hand, but headed up the stairs anyways.

That day was the worst day of her life. When it was over she went to Lieu "Lieu, I'm

going back on the streets tomorrow, I'm not staying behind this desk for one more

minute"
