Set after the episode Aisle 13.
Things You Said That I Wish You Hadn't
...
Samuel Braddock sits at the bar alone. He's nursing his fifth beer, or it's his seventh, he's kind of lost count. Not that it matters. He was never one to get drunk after a break up. He's also the one that usually initiates break ups.
He knew this was coming, but it doesn't mean it hurts any less. He has had weeks to prepare himself. But he never prepared himself for those three words, eight letters she used while doing it. He can still hear her words so clearly. They keep replaying over and over in his head, that he downs the rest of his beer and orders another.
"I love you Sam, but I worked my whole life for this job and the team and I'm not going let getting shot stand in the way of me going back."
Thats how she broke up with him. By saying 'I love you' first.
Did she think it would soften the blow?
It only made it worse.
He wishes she never said anything at all.
Now knowing that she does love him, makes his heart hurt even more.
He could have dealt better and moved on faster if she never used those three words, eight letters.
He'd rather be oblivious to how she felt.
This is just going to make it harder to work along side her every day.
And she had the audacity to suggest that one of them leaves the team.
She only suggested it because she knows either of them is willing to.
The team is as much his family as they are hers.
And anyway there are no available spaces on the other teams.
She must of known that.
He's not ready to give up Team One for her.
Maybe in a few years he could have.
But now he'll never know.
As he sits in the bar alone, downing his twelfth beer, he wishes she just hadn't said it.
It would have made his life a whole lot easier in the next coming months that it takes for him to be over her.
And he does hope it only takes a couple weeks or months to get over her.
Not that he wants to, he'd rather be on top or underneath her.
I promise the next one will be full of fluff!
