I just want to take the time to thank all those who have taken the time to read, review and add this story to their alerts and favourites, you have no idea how much it means to me - especially due to the fact that its not one of my personal fav's.
New chapter xx this story has some how taken a completely different turn to what it was supposed to have
Lucy glanced at the clock 3am, yet her and Myles were still sat in silence and in the same position they had been all night. A few times through the evening he would glance at her and she thought he was going to say something but every time he dropped his gaze and focused back on the floor.
"Coffee?" she asked
He didn't answer he just shook his head, feeling slightly frustrated with how stubborn one man could be she got up and walked into her kitchen to make herself some coffee, hoping it would cure the tiredness she was feeling. She wanted to be awake and alert for when Myles finally opened up.
Turning on the machine she heard the creak of her leather couch as he moved and stood up. Fearing he was about to leave she exited the kitchen
"It's ok Luce, I'm not leaving I just need the bathroom"
"Ok, you sure you don't want a drink, coffee, tea, juice, water"
He didn't answer he just walked into the bathroom, emerging a few moments later
"Lucy can I have some coffee?"
"Sure, take a seat"
She poured them both a cup and took a seat by the table, watching him swirling the half drunk liquid around in the mug.
"Luce, I'm sorry"
"For what"
"For yelling at you, for betraying you, for failing you, for everything"
"It's ok Myles, I forgave you weeks ago, but you never failed me, you hurt me, but never failed me"
"I did Luce"
"Myles I have no idea what you are talking about"
"The shooting bought it all back to surface"
Taking his hands in hers she looked in his eyes
"Bought what back Myle? What did the shooting bring back? Myles you need to talk about this it's obviously eating you up inside, it's making you angry, nervous, scared, just talk to me"
"Jenna Gregory, it bought back Jenna Gregory"
Lucy stopped breathing for a few moments when she heard her name. She hadn't thought about Jenna for nearly five years. Jenna was Lucy's friend; she was shot during a takedown five years ago. Myles, Bobby, Jack and Shep had gone to arrest a suspect but Jenna was in the house and she got caught in the cross fire, but that was an accident, how was it linked to Myles' shooting
"Myles what has Jenna got to do with all this" she asked the confusion evident in her voice
"I don't know where to start Lucy"
"Try the beginning Myles, it's normally a good place"
He was about to talk, but remembering the look on her face when they told her Jenna was killed was enough to stop him
"I'm sorry Luce, I can't" he said as he moved once more and left the table
"Oh that man can be so infuriating" she thought to herself as she followed him
"Myles Leyland III" she called
Turning around she could see the tears in his eyes, the tears he was so desperately trying to stop and hide
"Lucy you are going to hate me when I tell you, I can deal with you being angry and snapping at me but I can't deal with the thought of you hating me"
Moving towards him she pulled him into a hug, realising him she placed her hands on his face
"Myles, I could never hate you, whatever it is may make me angry for a while, but your still one of my best friends I could never hate"
He looked into her dark eyes for a moment and he knew it was time he told her the truth
"What if I told you I caused Jenna's death, I set it up so she would be in the house when we got there"
Lucy dropped her hands and moved back. Nothing he just said made any sense. She felt the tears in her eyes; if what he was saying was true he caused the death of her friend
"Myles I think you need to tell me exactly what happened"
