Chapter 1

"Good afternoon, Faith."

Faith looked up and saw the nurse that has been with Bosco since he was moved to a private room.

" How is he doing today?" she asked. She knew what the answer was going to be, but a part of her was hoping that she was going to hear some good news for once.

"He's still the same."

Faith sighed. "Can I go and visit him?"

"Of course you can" she replied. "Stay as long as you want. It is good for him to have visitors."

Faith stopped at his door, and just stood there frozen. She did the same thing everyday when she visited him. A part of her wants to go in there, but another part of her was scared to see her partner just lying there.

"Are you okay?" a nurse asked Faith. Faith turned around. "I'm fine," she said as she opened the door to Bosco's room and walked in.
All she could hear was silence. The only noise that she could hear was the beeping sound of the heart monitor.

She walked up to him. "Hey Bos," she said, as she took off her jacket and sat down next to him, taking a hold of his hand. "Everybody is missing you at work, even Sully," she said as a tear come down her cheek.

She paused for a moment. "I miss you too," she said as she wiped away her tear.

"Everything has changed, Bosco, I see Emily and Charlie nearly every weekend, when Fred has time to let me have my kids. I miss them so much. Fred is taking me to court for custody. I never thought that was going to happen."

"You were the one that I could always come to when I had problems with Fred, even when I knew that you didn't want to hear about it. Now I have nobody that I can talk to."

Faith then stood up. "The doctor said that you are never going to walk, talk or even wake up." Faith then turned around to face Bosco. "But I know that you are going to wake up."

You have to, she thought to herself. "I can't lose you too, Bosco," she said as she walked back up to him. "I lost Fred and my kids; I don't want to lose you too."

She looked down at him, just lying there. "Oh Bos, why did you have to take four bullets for me. This is killing me seeing you like this, not knowing if you are even going to wake up. Everybody tells me that I shouldn't come and see you everyday. That it isn't good for me to see you like this, but I need to see you and make sure that you are still with us."

Faith sighed. "Nobody knows you better than I do. I know that you are going to wake up just so you can show the doctors that they were wrong about you," she said. Although, she wasn't sure if she was telling herself more that than Bosco.

Faith then decided to change the subject. "So work is going okay, but it isn't the same without you. I have Jelly as a partner most days, but you are my only real partner." Faith sighed. If Bosco didn't get shot I would have never been promoted to detective, she thought to herself. I would do anything to have him not be shot, and Bosco and I still partners and being beat cops together.

She shook her head. "But I can't change it."

Faith walked up to the counter near Bosco's bedside and looked at all the cards and the flowers. She picked up a card and read it. She smiled to herself. He doesn't realize how many friends he has at the station, she thought to herself.

She then looked out of the window.

"He's gonna make it, Faith."
"You didn't see him."
"He's Bosco."
"He's not Superman."

She shakes her head. I can still remember that day like it was yesterday, but it has been nearly 4 months since it happen, she thought to herself. She put her hands on her face and sighs.

She then started to remember when she didn't know where Bosco was, and suddenly she realized that he was behind her with his arm wrapped around her protecting her from the danger of the bullets.

When she turned him around, it was like something she has never seen before. She had never been so scared in her life before, not even when Fred had his heart attack.

She thought that she was going to loose Bosco right there in the lounge. She turned around and looked at Bosco in the bed. "I didn't lose you then in the lounge and I'm going to lose you now," she said out loud to herself.

She then looked at the time and saw that she had been talking to Bosco for the last half an hour, so she walked over to his bedside and grabbed her jacket, and was put it on. "I'll see you again tomorrow," she said as she was about to walk out of the room, when suddenly she thought she heard something, but when she turned around she realized it was nothing.

"Faith," said a voice, which was more like a whisper than anything. She wasn't sure if she was dreaming. She walked up to his bed and grabbed a hold of his hand. He then squeezed her hand tightly.

She looked up at him. "Bosco!" she said as a tear fell down her cheek.
