RB in little over 30 minutes! cant WAIT!
chapter 22 people!
Rookie Blue and its original concepts do not belong to me.
Enjoy!
Now that I thought back on it, they had made working with Callaghan much easier than it would have been without them here as well.
Of course during the first year at 15th we tried to avoid each other like the plague. Tried being the operative word.
No matter how hard we tried, somehow we'd always cross paths.
He got through it by sending me withering glares and 'thinking' that he was better than me (as if).
I got through it by not looking or talking to him unless it was unavoidable, relishing the fact that I knew more people around the station than he did, and knowing that I was one of the best rookies of the 2006 group.
Of course having my best friend and two other really good friends there with me got me threw it as well.
In fact, I was sure that they made it as easy as it was for me at 15th division as possible.
Well, as possible as they could have made it when I had a much hated half brother there with me.
Half brother.
I grimaced at the admission.
I was now past the point of trying to deny it though.
I did the background checks, I made the phone calls, I checked the records. I'd bet money that Callaghan probably had done the same thing our rookie year.
It still didn't make it any easier to know the truth though. I've had what, 4 years to get used to it?
But then again, how do you get used to finding out that your 'ex-friend' is your half brother that you didn't know about until both of you were 27 year old adults?
It wasn't easy. And now with me admitting that I have feelings for Andy knowing that she was dating my 'half brother'? It was horrible.
Of course she didn't know that Callaghan was my half brother. I was positive that he wouldn't have told her. I wouldn't have either.
Hopefully neither of us would ever have to tell her either. I would be perfectly happy with her never knowing that we're related.
Well I'd be perfectly happy if I never knew that we are related.
I sighed.
There was no point in wishing that things that happened didn't. At the end of the day, I still know that Callaghan is my half brother.
Not even Jerry could make me forget that, and Jerry could distract anyone from anything.
There was a soft knock at the door and after a quick moment, the door opened and Jerry stood at the door.
Speak of the devil I thought smugly, and I knew that the beginnings of a smile were playing on my face.
"Hey there champ," he said with a smile walking in and closing the door behind him. "You feeling better?"
I sighed and gestured for him to take a seat.
"I guess I`m feeling as good as I can considering that my rookie is in a coma, I have a freak of a woman trying to jump me, and I`m reliving the horror that is my 'half brother'."
All Jerry did was raise his eyebrow, looking at me questioningly as he pulled one of the chairs over and lowered himself into it.
"Huh. All in the day of a cop eh?"
I gave a short laugh. "I guess."
We sat together in silence for a short while, looking at Andy.
It was then that I realized that I was holding onto her hand, lightly rubbing my thumb across the back of it.
I didn't do anything to move my hand. I figured that I deserved this little consolation after a day that was so full of crap.
"So," Jerry began, and I knew that he noticed out joined hands as well. "What did you mean when you said, 'reliving the horror that is my half brother'?"
I exhaled a deep breath loudly.
"I was sitting here looking at Andy and I couldn't help thinking about how this was so much like what happened with Camille," I said to him, not taking my eyes off of her.
"Sam—" Jerry began but I cut him off with a shake of my head.
"I know I know. I eventually realized that they are two different people. And by eventually, I mean after spending quite a bit of time 'reliving the past'" I said using air quotes.
"Flashbacks?" he asked knowingly.
"Yup. From the first time we met, to our first date, to the first time I woke up with her beside me, to the time I spent sitting by her hospital bed."
"Yikes."
I turned my head to look in his direction to see that he was grinning.
"You're telling me," I said with a grin of my own.
"That still doesn't explain the Callaghan part of the equation."
"Oh, well I was thinking about how it would be more productive if I didn't drown myself in my thoughts of Camille and instead were to talk to Andy."
"You know how they say that people in coma's can hear you talking to them? It supposedly helps them get better sooner."
"So holding onto that, I started to talk to her about us at the academy. Me, you, Oliver, and Noelle. And one way or another, I ended up talking about you know, what happened at the academy with Callaghan."
"I didn't really explain how we found out, or any of the details really, but still," I gave a short laugh.
"I don't even know if she heard me, but I`m pretty sure that I hope she didn't."
"This whole Andy dating your half brother thing is messing you up more than you're letting on isn't it?" he asked.
I let go of Andy's hand and turned my body to face him.
I took a deep breath and looked Jerry in the eye.
"I don't even know how to begin to explain how messed up I`m feeling about the fact that the only girl I've felt anything for since Camille, is dating my half brother."
Hope you liked it!
