Can Love Survive This
Chapter 2
Sully looked at Tatiana with this confused look on his face.
"Your father?" he asked.
"What the hell are you talking about? That monster can't be your father."
"He's not my real father,; he's my stepfather, but I always saw him as my real dad, until now," she replied.
"That's why I am here; I need your help."
"I can't help you, Tatiana.," Sully replied. "My partner go shot last time I got involved with Chevanunko, I can't do that again."
"Please, John, let me explain everything that happened while I've been gone," Tatiana replied.
"No, I can't do that," Sully said, as he grabbed his jacket and left the apartment, leaving her all on her own.
As Sully was walking down the street, all he could think was Tatiana coming home and how happy he was that she was home. He wanted to be at home right now holding her in his arms, but he couldn't just forget what happened. There was no way that he could help her with whatever happened with Chevchenko; he just couldn't. I'm just going to have to say no to her and tell her to get someone else to help her. I love her, but I just can't be with her, I have to forget about her and get on with my life without her.
Then why can't you stop thinking about her, Sully thought to himself, as he sat down on a bench.
"What are you doing out so late? I thought you would be sleeping by now," said a voice. Sully looked up and saw Ty standing in front of him.
"I need to think about someone stuff is that okay with you?" Ty smiled.
"Even when we aren't working; you are grumpy," Ty replied as he sat down next to him.
"Maybe you just need to forgot about Tatiana and find someone new."
"She's back," Sully blurt out.
"Who's back?" Ty said. Sully looked at Ty.
"Are you stupid? Tatiana who else would I be talking about?"
"She came back. When?" Ty asked Sully.
"When I got home from work, she was there." Sully explained.
Ty looked at Sully. "Then why are you out sitting here all on your own, if she is back. You told me that you missed her."
"I did miss her, but there is some stuff that she told me that I don't know how to deal with." Ty glanced at Sully.
"You love her. Isn't that all that matters?"
"You have always been a love dovey type of guy, but I'm not that type of person, Ty." Sully replied.
"What did she do to upset you this much?"
"You want to know where she has been while she was gone? She was with Chevchenko."
"You got be kidding me? Why was she with him?"
"She said that he is her stepfather."
"Oh my.. I can see why you are confused, Sully. I think you should just forget about her."
Sully sighed.
"But you don't want to forget about her, do you, Sully?"
"I don't know what I want. I'll see you tomorrow." Sully said, as he walked away, more confused then ever what to do about Tatiana.
Sully walked into his apartment and saw that she was lying on the couch. she looked so peaceful and beautiful lying there. He would have to decided tomorrow morning, what he was going to do about everything.
The next morning, Sully awoke to the smell of bacon and eggs. He walked into the kitchen and saw Tatiana making breakfast.
"Good morning, John," she said with a smile. He looked at her.
"We need to talk."
"Have your breakfast first," she said, as she placed the plate on the table. He looked at her.
"Don't do this."
"Do what John?"
"Be nice."
Tatiana smiled at him. "I know you are upset, but I need to explain." He sat down on the table.
"What is there to explain? You already told me about your father? I love you Tatiana, but I'm not sure I can be with you anymore," Sully replied, as he stood up and walked to the fridge.
"I came back because I need your help. He has my son." Sully turned around.
"Your son? What are you talking about?"
"I went to my step-father for help to get my son out of the gang. He said that he would help me and I believe him. After a few weeks, when I knew that my son was going to be okay, I told him that I was going home to you. He said no daughter of his was going back to a cop like you. He said that he was going to kill you like he should have done the first time."
"He always saw me as his daughter and I saw him as my dad," Tatiana replied.
"Then what do you need my help with?" Sully asked. She walked over to Sully and grabbed his hand.
"I came to warn you about him coming after you, so I left my son with him and then a few days ago, I got a message from him saying that he was going to kill my son. I wanted to go back and save my son, but I knew that you would be able to help me better. Can you?" she asked.
He moved away from her, and walked into the living room. She followed him and put her arms around Sully. He turned around.
"I'll help you, but it doesn't mean that we can be together again." She nodded.
"I know."
Later that afternoon, Sully walked into the locker room and saw Ty.
"I need your help." Ty turned around.
"What do you need me to do?"
"I need your help to find Chevchenko."
"There is no way in hell I'm help you find that guy. Do you remember what happened to me last time?" Ty shouted.
"I know, Ty. I didn't want to help first of all, but Tatiana told me everything and I feel like I need to help her," Sully said, as he explained to Ty everything that Tatiana had told him.
"I don't know if I can, Sully. I'll see you in roll call," Ty said, as he left the locker room.
Chevchenko was sitting with his friends.
"I'm going to make Tatiana for betraying me."
"Don't you think you did enough, by kidnapping her son?"
"I didn't kidnap him, she left him with me, but now I'm going to have to kill him."
"She's your step-daughter. Don't you care about her?" the man asked. He laughed.
"I have never care about her. I had act like I did because her mom, but her mom isn't with us anymore, so I can do what I want. The first thing I am going to do is make her suffer before I kill her."
"How are you going to do that?" the man questioned him.
"You don't ask me questions; you'll find out soon enough."
Ty and Sully were in the squad car.
"So why did you decide to help Tatiana?" Ty asked Sully.
"I don't know; I just want to help her," Sully said, as the car started to slide down the road.
"Ty… what are you doing?" Sully yelled.
"I don't know! The brakes won't stop!" Ty yelled. The car then crashed.
A few minutes later, Sully woke up and saw that Ty was hurt.
"Ty, can you hear me?" Sully knew that this was bad. Sully grabbed his radio.
"55 Charlie, 10-13 10-13! We've been in an accident!"
