Author's Notes: Hey all, Sorry for the wait, the writer's block lifted today and this is what came out, if you like it let me know, if it stinks let me know.
I think a Scotty/Jenna romance is on the way, but who knows Christina might be working her way back into his life, any way it might be another week or so before a new chapter is up. Hope you all enjoy this one.
Jim Stevens didn't look like your typical police officer, if you passed him on the street you might mistake him for a model, he was simply gorgeous.
A tall blue eyed, raven haired, bronzed god type, he may not have looked the part but looks can deceive, he was a damn good cop, at least he tried his best to be.
He was sitting behind a mountain of paper work, waiting for his partner get to work but as usual the man was late.
When Jason Harris finally came in, the mountain looked more like a mole hill, so needless to say Jim was in no mood to hear whatever the excuse was this time.
"Where have you been?" he asked "You know I have to be in court this morning."
"Sorry Mom, next time I'll call." he handed him something that resembled stained water "It won't happen again."
"Sure it won't."
Jason sat across from him, and silently began to chop away at the mole hill. The pair couldn't have been more different, Jason wasn't your typical cop either, he was tall but far to thin for his frame, freckles kissed his pale face and red hair was his curse.
Regardless of their differences the men worked great together, and every skill that they had was about to be put to the test.
Scotty Valens put his head down on his desk, he had been up all night going over Lorna's case. He was looking at the perfect murder, there was no way to solve this with the evidence they had.
His head was splitting, all he wanted to do was go home and sleep but knew that wasn't going to happen anytime soon.
A hand on his shoulder made him look up, a smile worked it's way across his face "Don't say it, I know I look like hell."
Jenna shook her head "I don't think that at all." she did blush this time, her attraction to this man was growing more and more. "I come bearing gifts."
She handed him the first decent cup of coffee he had had in awhile, then she pulled out the big guns.
"Are those what I think they are?" he said as he grabbed the box from her and sorted through the jelly filled goodies that were inside.
"Thank you." he stated through a mouthful of glazed goodness "I really needed this."
"You're welcome." she fought to hold back the laugh that was tickling the back of her throat "I'm glad I could be of service."
She reached out an wiped a crumb off his mouth, the touch of his skin sent a shock through her and she quickly pulled away from him.
Something danced into his eyes, something that told her he felt the same volt she had, but she looked away and noticed that Lily wasn't there.
"Where's detective Rush?"
"I'm not sure, guess she's running a little behind this morning."
She let her gaze fall to his desk and she felt her knees go weak, the pictures of her sister caught her by surprise, her lifeless face, those blue lips, her eyes stared into Jenna's and it was to much.
The brunette felt herself fall and waited for the floor to catch her but Scotty was suddenly holding her close to him.
"Easy" he said " I'm sorry, I wasn't thinking, Are you ok?"
She rested her head on his shoulder for a moment, took in the scent of him, this felt so right, but she made herself pull away yet again.
"I'm fine." she said those words but both of them knew it wasn't true, tears had already started to form "Maybe I'm not so great after all."
She felt him pull her close, this time she didn't try to get away, she held onto him for dear life.
Lily trembled as she stared at the scarf on her kitchen table, it was the same color as her eyes, a gift from her mother on her eighteenth birthday.
Her mother had asked her once where she had lost it, she hadn't told her the truth, hadn't told anyone , but now it seemed she would have too.
It had been cold that night, so very cold and she had hurried as fast as she could toward home.
The sky was littered with countless stars, the town was fast on it's way to sleep only a few houses remained alive, she could still remember the beauty of it, but he had come out of the darkness and destroyed it all.
She could still feel his weight holding her down, his breath hot on her neck, as he told her how much he loved her, how lucky she was to be his.
Her lungs scream for air as he tightened the scarf around her, she felt herself begin to slip away only to be forced back to consciousness, as he whispered that he wanted her awake for this.
"Stop it" Lily screamed "Please just stop.."
Arms were suddenly wrapped around her, the blonde fought with everything in her but they wouldn't let her go.
"Please..please don't hurt me….please I just wanna go home."
"Lily" Christina's voice brought her back to reality "I'm not going to hurt you."
Lily began to sob, she couldn't hold it back any longer, years of imprisoned emotions were finally escaping, she clung to her sister, while everything inside her spilled out.
"Please…..Christina..don't…let…him..hurt..me again."
"I promise" she paused trying to fight back her own tears "I won't let anyone ever hurt you again."
The younger blonde didn't know what else to say, what was Lily talking about, she didn't know who had hurt her sister but she was damn sure going to find out.
TBC……
