Hey, so I was having a slight writers block while writing this chapter but I tried working through it and it turned into a transition chapter. I'll try to get the next bit out quickly. Enjoy.
Chapter 4:
Exhausted is exactly how Andy felt lying on Traci's pull out sofa waiting for sleep to come. After the events that had unfolded in the last 24 hours you would think that she would have fallen asleep straight away but no, the memories just seemed to be playing in a loop making it hard to shut her brain off.
No matter how many drinks she put away with Gail and Traci after they all piled into Traci's car and drove to her home she just couldn't shake the hurt she was feeling.
I mean she wasn't exactly innocent during their relationship with her slight indiscretion with Sam but she pulled away before it was too late and it definitely didn't happen while she was getting married to another person.
'Time to pull yourself together Andy' she said giving herself a pep talk. This year had been difficult but somewhere along the way she lost the young rookie who had attitude and wasn't afraid to speak her mind. Every since she had dated Luke she had lost the part of her that spoke her mind to the guy she tackled while he was denting his locker from an undercover Op she unintentionally ruined and who then joked to her T.O the next day that she didn't date cops.
Well she could add Detectives to that list.
It was time to bring back the old Andy. She was hurt, sad, angry and embarrassed but tomorrow was a fresh start. First step was getting off Traci's pull out sofa and finding her own place.
Although she was dreading having to go into the station and work with the cheater and the slut tomorrow she would hold her head high. This job was something Andy always wanted since she was a little girl listening to her father stories of his day and nothing was going to get in the way of that.
Having fully come to a decision with herself, Andy's eyes gradually closed allowing for the sleep she much-needed.
