Description
It was years ago when I arrested Riley. Riley had told me that it was a memory that made her smile. I could not understand why, It was the first time I ever saw her cry. It happened because I screamed at her after the arrest was made telling her she was not a cop. I then went on to read her rights. I then told her she was a spoiled little rich princess who did not understand how the world works. Riley then cried and point blank screamed at me telling me that I did not know anything about her. Riley said it was a memory that made her smile because it was the first time that I began to get to know her. When Riley cried it triggered me because the way she was crying told me that she was terribly lonely. I had cried like that only twice in my life once when I was little girl after my Father left me and my Mom and then once again shortly after I met Jack. I was engaged to a man named Jacob. We had so many plans for our wedding and for all the children that we were going to have. A few months before the wedding was scheduled I decided to get tested. A part of me always felt off especially when it came to my body. It was then that the my Doctor revealed to me that I could not have children of my own. I was devastated. I went to Jacob and I told him about what the Doctor said. I told him we had options and that we could always adopt. I should have seen the warning bells right then. Jacob kept up the act for a weeks after I told him. One day I came home to my apartment and all his stuff was gone and the only thing he left was a note. I never told anyone about Jacob because after he left me I cried the same way Riley did. I then began to drink to heavily until one day my friend detective Roberts who would later go on to become my Captain would confront me and she threatened to kick my ass if I didn't get a grip on myself. I never really became an alcoholic mostly because I would come home to find that all my booze was missing. For the longest time I thought I just drank it all in some black out rage induced binge but then I finally figured out that Jack had been keeping an eye on me and as soon as I would leave for work he would break into my apartment and dump out what booze I had. Even after all these years I never told my friends and family about Jacob. The only people I ever confided in was Jack and Captain Roberts. The truth is I did not want his memory tainting the happy life that I now had. Shortly after I arrested Riley I ran a background check on her. My jaw dropped when I read the contents. I couldn't believe it, Riley was not some spoiled princess she was in fact someone who was lonely. Right before Jack died he told me that it sounded like Riley was someone who was just as damaged as I was and that friends could be found in all walks off life with all different types of people. He told me that it would not kill me to get to know Riley. It wasn't until after she saved me from The Doctor that we would finally get to know each other.
Why do I keep coming back to this memory? I dream about it all the time and I find myself thinking about it a lot. Riley has been dead for three months and still I can't shake this memory. Is it my mind trying to make me feel guilty for never telling her about Jacob or is it something else. I suppose this is a mystery that I might never solve. I bring myself back to the present and I am sitting on my couch at the house that Riley bought for me. I had insisted on paying for it however after Riley's will was read I was left a significant amount of money as well as complete ownership of my house. I look over at the easy chair and I see Sarah looking out at the ocean. Much like me she has been crying almost none stop since Riley died. I go to her and I put my hand on her shoulder she looks up at me and smiles. I decided that I am going to tell her and Jessie about Jacob. First however I need to go check on Jon. Since Riley died Jon had retreated to the bottle and started drinking heavily. Lily....Lily is just heart broken. Molly has since been taking care of both them for the most part. Jon was fired from his job as an EMT and now he hardly leaves the house. I try to tell him that he is not alone but I might as well be trying to talk to a wall. My heart breaks for him because I know that his first wife died of Cancer a year after Lily was born. I tell Sarah I will be back later and that I have something to tell her and Jessie........................
*Confused?????? Well we will just have to wait for the next two stories and all will be revealed
