Chapter 35
While Sharon was trying to understand what is this picture, Andy shared with Provenza what had happened last night with Allison. Provenza couldn't believe that Allison has done similar things, knowing that it is against the law and that Sharon and Andy are cops.
"Provenza, you can't even imagine. This woman is crazy. I panicked thinking that she committed suicide but entering her hotel room I was in shock. Everywhere was full of my pictures. She told me that she loves me and I don'r belong to Sharon. " Andy said heatedly, walking toward the elevators. Provenza stopped and looked at him carefully.
"Flynn, I can't believe that Allison has done such a thing. I can't believe that she loves you. Well, I don't deny that you're attractive." he said sarcastically. Andy rolled his eyes, dissatisfied and shook his head.
"Provenza, stop talking nonsense. Look, I didn't say nothing to Sharon, although I'm not sure if I'll be able to hide this truth. If Sharon learned that this is Allison's plan ... Allison is capable of everything. She is ready to ruin my relationship with Sharon, but I swear, she won't succeed. " Andy said with anger. Meanwhile, Allison was trying to get Sharon to believe her lies. Her purpose was to seperate them. Sharon looked at the picture and then to Allison. She was almost ready to scream. She couldn't believe that Andy might be in a relationship with Allison. No, it was simply impossible.
"That's a lie! You lie, Alison! That's not true! Andy never had a relationship with a woman like you." Sharon said angrily and stood up, holding the picture in her hand. Allison smiled slyly.
"Sharon, don't be silly. It's Mr. Andy Flynn. He loves younger women and apparently, I'm young enough. He was captured by me and he loves me. Last night he left you alone to come to me. Do you still think that Andy loves you? " she said sarcastically. Sharon gritted her teeth in anger. She felt that her patience ends.
"Allison, stop with this nonsense! What do you want? To ruin our relationship? But you won't succeed. Me and Andy love one another. You're nothing in his life. I can't believe that a woman like you took care of my son . You're terrible. You love Andy, but he loves me. It would be much better if you understand that. " Sharon said firmly. Alison laughed derisively.
"Sharon, you're the one who lives in illusion, not me. You think that Andy loves you, but he just lie to you. He loves me. Maybe this picture will help you to understand some truths." she said wryly. Sharon looked at the picture and left without saying anything more. She was determined to talk to Andy immediately. Allison was almost convinced that this time she'll be able to ruin their relationship. Several hours later, Sharon came home and threw the keys. She walked into the living room and looked at Rusty and Nicholas. Rusty stood in front of his mother holding his brother in his arms. He was worried about her because she looked pale.
"Hey, Mom, are you okay?" he asked anxiously. Sharon took a deep breath and swallowed the lump in her throat. She kissed her little son and squeezed Rusty's shoulder.
"Rusty, I beg you, go to your room with your brother. I need to be alone." she asked softly. Rusty nodded and walked to his room with Nicholas, although this situation was quite awkward. He was convinced that his mother has a new form-factor issues and why she behaves so coldly. Sharon sat on the couch and looked at the picture that Allison gave her. She immediately grabbed her phone and called Andy. Andy was quite surprised by her unexpected call. But hearing her voice, he was surprised even more. She sounded strange, as if she spoke with anger. He had no time for explanations. Taking his jacket and keys, he hurried home. The whole team was surprised that he hurry so much. Sharon was waiting for Andy. She held the picture in her hands. When Andy arrived home, he entered the living room and approached her cautiously. She looked at him coldly and stood against him. Andy couldn't understand what the problem is.
"Sharon, what's the problem?" he asked anxiously. Sharon took a deep breath and bit her lip.
"You really don't know what's the problem? I can't believe I once again live in complete lie. In a labyrinth of lies. Last night you interrupted our night and went to Alison. Knowing that you'll hurt me. Andy, why are you doing this ? What is your goal? " she asked calmly. Andy looked at her more confused than ever.
"Sharon, I don't understand. You know very well why I went to Alison." he said honestly. Sharon shook her head.
"You're a liar. Alison was completely well. She hasn't made a suicide attempt or took pills. And this picture. What is this?" Sharon almost shouted and threw the picture on Andy's face. Andy looked at the picture and almost fainted. It was a false picture. He never had anything to do with Allison.
"Sharon, believe me, I don't have anything to do with Allison. Look, this picture is fake. Yes, I lied to you about last night, but while I go to the hotel, I didn't know that she lied to me. But this picture is fake. You won't believe her right? Sharon, I love only you. I have nothing to do with this woman. " he said firmly. Sharon laughed derisively.
"Andy, I don't know what to believe. You're just a liar. Whether you or Allison? Who is lying? I don't have confidence to anyone. Even for you. Every time you manage to hurt me. But why? Maybe you punish me for my unforgivable sin. But I don't deserve such a severe punishment. You went to Allison. You interrupted our night for her. " she said, crying. Andy left the picture on the table and shushed softly, wiping her tears. He looked into her green eyes that were full of frustration and pain.
"Sharon, I love you. Please don't do that. Allison is a liar. I have nothing to do with her." Andy tried to defend himself, but Sharon was tired. She didn't want to argue anymore. She didn't want to see Andy. She walked to the door and opened the door for him. He sighed wearily and looked at her coldly. He couldn't believe that she believes Alison instead of him. He stood before her.
"Sharon, I'm not guilty. You know very well that I love only you." he said quietly. Sharon closed her eyes for a moment.
"Andy, I don't want any more disputes and conflicts. Please go away. I don't want to see you." she said sternly. Andy looked at her again, then left without saying anything. He was terribly disappointed. Sharon closed the door and leaned against the wall. Tears streamed down her cheeks, silently. She was confused and she didn't know what and whom to believe. Hearing all this conflict, Rusty approached his mother and wiped her tears, looking at her anxiously.
"Hey, Mom, what happened this time? I heard your whole argument with Andy." he noted with concern. Sharon squeezed his shoulder and shook her head.
"Rusty, believe me. Everything will be all right. It should be. At least for Nicholas. Look, let's have lunch. I'll tell you everything later." she assured. Rusty nodded and decided to help his mother for lunch, but she wanted him to take care of his brother. All day, Andy hadn't returned to the department. He had no power. Provenza tried to reach him several times but unsuccessfully. He'd already begun to worry about his friend. Late in the evening, Sharon was in her bedroom with her little son, who had always been her support and comfort. She couldn't imagine life without Nicholas. Provenza was already in his home when someone knocked on the door. Seeing Andy before him, he fell into shock. He immediately invited his friend inside. When Andy explained the whole situation, Provenza couldn't believe what plans has Allison.
"Believe me Provenza, this woman is crazy. She's made a false picture. She is ready to ruin my relationship with Sharon. And she succeeds. I'm afraid and I'm not ready to lose Sharon." he said heatedly. Provenza squeezed his shoulder and gave him a glass of water.
"Flynn, calm down. You'll be able to expose Allison. I have a plan. And believe me, Sharon will understand the truth." Provenza said encouragingly. On the other hand, Sharon was taling with Andrea on the phone. As Provenza, Andrea also couldn't believe that this is true.
"Sharon, I think that Alison is lying. Andy loves only you. Look, don't get me wrong, but I think Andy would have no relationship with her. He loves only you and everyone knows that. And probably, this picture is really fake. " Andrea tried to reassure Sharon, but it wasn't at all possible.
"Andrea, I no longer have faith in Andy. Yes, I love him but the fact that Alison may have relationship with him, pisses me off. I want to believe Andy, but I can't. It's not that easy." she admitted. Andrea hushed.
"Sharon, calm down. I'll see you later to allow you to explain everything in detail. However, I think that Alison is guilty." Andrea said firmly and they closed the phone. Sharon took her son in her arms, trying to calm him down. He wouldn't stop crying and she couldn't understand why. She tried to sing a lullaby, like Andy, but Nicholas was still crying. She felt helpless as never before.
"Hey, little one, stop crying. I need you. You're my only support in this moment. I'd like your father to be innocent, trust me." she murmured softly to her son and kissed him tenderly on the cheek. Finally, she was able to calm her son. Andy had made his new plan with Provenza's help. He was denounced Allison and he had a record. He was eager to show the record to Sharon. But after this record would change many things, and he knew it very well. Allison couldn't believe that she was tricked this way. But now, she had a plan for revenge against Sharon and Andy. She wouldn't leave them in peace. The next morning, Sharon fed Nicholas while Rusty was out with friends. When Andy came, Sharon didn't know what to do. She was confused, but they had to think about their son. He needed them. Yes, Andy was here to see his son, but he had a new goal - to show the record to Sharon. She handed Nicholas carefully to his father and sat on the couch, shunning his eyes. Andy sighed wearily and hugged his son tightly, kissing him gently on the cheek. Nicholas grabbed his tie and that made Andy smile. He handed the disc with the record to Sharon. She looked at him more confused than ever.
"What is this?" she asked immediately.
"This is proof that I'm innocent. It'll be very good if you look at the record right now." he said sharply. Sharon grabbed her laptop with trembling hands. She was eager to learn the truth. While Andy was holding his son in his arms, Sharon watched the entire record. She was shocked. Andy was innocent and Allison had confessed everything. She took a deep breath and swallowed the lump in her throat, then stood against Andy. They looked at each other coldly.
"Now you understand that I am innocent?" he asked, disappointed. Sharon took a deep breath and looked at him imploringly.
"Andy, believe me, I don't know what to say. I have no words. I didn't want to blame you, but after all this. I know I'm guilty and you will never forgive me." she said sadly. Andy closed his eyes for a moment and shook his head.
"Sharon, who am I to you? Just a liar? I'm not a liar and I love only you. But you ... you never wanted to understand the truth. Sharon, I love you. You and my son are everything to me . I can't believe that you think that I could love another woman, especially Allison. I feel huge disappointment. A feeling I can't describe it. " he admitted sadly, holding Nicholas in his arms. Sharon took a deep breath and bit her lip. She approached him and her eyes filled with tears.
"Andy, please forgive me. I love you." she said quietly and plaintively. Andy shrugged,.
"Sharon, I'm tired. I'm tired of mistakes, conflicts, disputes and forgivenesses. I always forgive you. Finally, see where we are. I'm sorry, but the absolution also has its limits. Don't ask forgiveness. Because this time, I can't forgive you." he said firmly and swallowed the lump in his throat. He handed his son to her and grabbed his jacket, then walked away. Sharon couldn't believe that, once again, she spoils her relationship with Andy...
