"I came back to let you know, got a thing for you and I can't let go…In my world, only you make me do
for love what I would not do"- Bobby Caldwell
John rubbed his bandaged bicep as he walked down the street. Early in the week they had received a number of a teenager who was mixed up in a gang, he called Joss and Fusco for back up. They cornered the kid and he drew his gun on them and fired at Joss. Before he knew what he was doing he had already tackled Joss to the ground and as result he got clipped in the arm.
After they subdued the kid, Joss yelled at him for being reckless and taking unnecessary risk. When he and Shaw got back to the library, she and Harold questioned his judgment. They pointed out that It was unlike him to overreact and lose his composure.
Now that he thought about the situation he realized that had he not tackled her, she could have easily stepped out of the way of the bullet and he wouldn't have gotten clipped in the arm.
He came out of his thoughts and looked around the empty street and realized he was at his destination. He had been at his apartment 20 minutes ago but he had an epiphany and had to confront it.
He slowly moved up the steps to Joss's house and knocked on her door. It took him a week of soul searching to find out why he did the things he did for Joss. The truth was plain and simple and had been in front of his face for a long time. He had feelings for her, he was falling in love with her.
He looked up as she opened the door. As he stared into her eyes he knew that he was in love with her and would do anything to protect her. He was standing on her porch at 11:30PM to tell her he loved her. He was determined to win her heart not matter how long it would take. He needed her in his life and he wasn't going to take the easy way out this time and let her go. He was going to fight for her because his heart and soul depended on it.
