CHAPTER 4
Here you go with the last Chapter of this Story.
Tim: Lucy, Lucy, Lucy. Come on Baby come on Lucy breathe for me baby Lucy please Lucy!
The doctors and nurses come running in to the room and Tim starts yelling at them.
Tim: What the hell is going on? She was talking to me, she was awake and then the machines
Doctor: Get her husband out of her please
Nurse: Sargent, I need you to leave
Tim: The hell I will. She needs me here, I cannot leave her right now.
Nurse: You need to give the doctors room to work.
Tim: Lucy, baby im right here im not going anywhere. Baby please
Nurse: Sargent I'm sorry.
And with that the nurse pushes Tim out of the room into the waiting arms of the rest of the team. He is staring at his friends helplessly looking towards the door of Lucy's room. He feels like he cant breathe he needs to be there with her, holding her hand, helping her fight. Angela holds Tims hands and walks him to wall for support.
Angela: Tim, Tim whats going on? We were told we could come up and visit when the lights started flashing and the doctors ran into her room
Tim: She was fine, she was talking and smiling and then it just
Angela: Oh Tim, it's a good sign she woke up
Tim: I guess so I just she looked so peaceful and stiff when the machine flatlined it was like she was gone
Angela: Don't say that.
Tim: I cant stand here and do nothing I'm going back in.
Angela: Tim, you really shouldn't do that. They will come get you when they are ready.
Tim: I dont care.
And with that Tim walked back to the door of her room and he opened it up to find Lucy lying still on the bed, machines and medical tools all around her. The line was still flat as he heard the doctor say
Doctor: Time of death 7:10 pm.
The doctor walked towards Tim and walked him out towards his friends as Tim started screaming.
Tim: NO! No No. Lucy Baby come back, come back to me baby Lucy please lucy this cannot be the end. Doctor please you have to do something you cant just leave her like that doctor Lucy come on
Angela: Tim, shes gone
Doctor: We did everything we could for her, the damage was just too extensive. I'm so sorry.
Angela: Tim, Tim
Tim: Angela, please, please tell me this isn't true that Lucy is not I, I Angela, Nyla someone please.
Angela: Tim
Tim: No, No, No, No. I need to go to her to go say goodbye.
Angela: Tim, I don't think that's such a good idea
Tim: She's the love of my life Ang, I cant just let her go, not like this.
Angela placed her hand on Tims back and walked with him back towards Lucy's room. She opened the door for him and helped him inside. It killed her as she watched this tall handsome supercop just crumble to his feet in front of her.
Tim: I dont know how to do this, I don't know how I will move on. How do I say good bye to you Lucy Chen. You helped change me, made me better in every way. You saved me in my darkest hours, you gave me the strength to save myself. I'm trying to find the strenght right now Lucy but I just cant. Do you remember before we started dating you asked me if it was worth it? I was so sure it was Lucy, I was so confident that we would make it work, but this can't work without you Lucy, I need you to be here, to be with me. Please Lucy, you are the best woman I will ever know, you are the love of my life, my soulmate. What I would do anything right now to go back to your apartment, to Vegas, pretend Lucy of course it was more than basic biology. You know Angela made fun of me that day, told me not to do anything in the hotel that she wouldn't do. I will always love you, Lucy.
Tim stands up, walks over to the bed sobbing at the sight of Lucy's lifeless body, bends down and kisses her forehead before Angela holds him and walks him out of the room. Tim didn't notice anyone else there his brain was so tired, he just needed Lucy to be there to help him through this and the one thing he did know what that Lucy, his Lucy, the love of his life, the woman who made him want to wake up every morning was gone. This was it, he just said good bye to the most important person in his life. He had no idea how he was going to get through the day without her.
Angela walked Tim towards her car and drove him home. He didn't say a word the entire ride and Angela didn't really expect him too. When she got there, she helped him get settled on the couch, he told her he couldn't go to sleep in their bed just yet and she understood that. She sent out a mass text to ask friends and family to help stock of Tim's fridge so he wouldn't starve to death. She made sure he was okay, well as okay as he possibly could be without Lucy.
Tim was asked to give a speech at her funeral and he didn't really know what to say but he had to try.
Tim: I was asked to speak and honestly, I don't know what to say so I will just talk to Lucy for a little. Baby, from the first moment we met I knew I was screwed. You were so young and full of dreams on what the job meant and here I was with over a decade on this job after serving in the army and all I saw was the bad in people. You changed all that, you made me a better person, a better cop. You believed in me when no one else would. You made me fall in love again when I thought it wasn't possible. Baby, from the minute I asked you out I knew it was worth it, I knew we could make it work and we did. You were the one to realize that one of us had to move positions, that I couldn't be objective when it came to you. How angry I was with your Lucy Lessons and how I would give anything right now to have you show me another one, prove me wrong. Baby I love you with everything I have. I was looking forward to the day I would make you my wife, watch you give birth to our kids. Lucy, if you're out there somewhere watching this, please help me because I am so lost without you. You are the most amazing woman I will ever know and love. I love you Lucy Chen, and I always will.
With that Tim walked off the stage, there was not a dry eye in the room. He sat back down, went through the motions and cried hysterically as they lowered Lucy's body into the ground. Tim had no idea how he would ever get over this, didn't think he ever could. But he knew that Lucy would want him to be happy and he would do whatever it took to give Lucy her one last wish – he would be happy one day, just not today.
