How Could An Angel Break My Heart?
Chapter 1
Disclaimer: Third Watch belongs to, John Wells, NBC and The WB. I only borrow them to torture them :) Song lyrics from "How Could An Angel Break My Heart?" By Toni Braxton...If you've never heard this song check it out. I think it's beautiful.
Rating : Probably PG 13
Summary: Bosco messed up big time but this time there is no going back.
Authors note: I'm well aware I have a few stories I need to be tying up before I should think of starting another one but I'm not really sure if this will be anything more then a couple of chapters anyway and besides it kept banging around in my head and I needed to get it out.
We all know I'm not a stickler for sticking with what's already been done on the show so unless I bring it up (example Fred's heart attack, the useless comment, Bosco lying ect.) then it didn't happen. Story takes place about a year or so from now. One more thing, I haven't had time to be reading all the fic that has been comming out so if there is simularities between this fic and any others, it's purely by accident. If it almost mirrors another fic, i'm terribly sorry. Let me know and I deal with this one. Thanks.
I'm sorry fellow shippers but I had to do this. I just have such issues with where season 4 is going that I had to tarnish our golden boy. Hope you all can forgive me. Shippers continue with caution.
Feedback : Yes please. Constructive critisim always welcomed.

How could an angel break my heart?
Why didn't he catch my falling star?
I wish I didn't wish so hard?
Maybe I wished our love apart.
How could an angel break my heart?

Her footsteps fell lightly on the floor as she made her way down the long hallway. She couldn't wait to tell Bosco the good news. She ducked her head in various rooms looking for him. She had heard from Swersky that he was still lurking about somewhere. She came up to one of the conference rooms, she noticed the blinds were shut so with out any interruption she was about to continue on when she heard a soft laugh. Despite knowing better she paused and continued to listen.
"Come on you know you want to" purred a familiar female voice.
"We can't." Her heart almost stopped as she heard the male voice, his voice.
"That's not what you said last night. In fact I seem to remember you really didn't have any objections to this last night Officer Boscorelli."
As she felt a pain growing through her like she had been punched in the gut Faith slowly raised her hand to the slightly opened door and pushed it open a few inches more. She looked in immediately wishing she hadn't. Wishing she could take back the last five minutes of her life and never have came up the stairs to find him. Not knowing what to do she quickly turned and hurried down back the hallway. She had only taken a few steps when she bumped into someone.
"Hey Sarge, you better watch where you're going."
She looked up for a brief second, "Sorry Ty I didn't see you."
He saw a tear escape down her cheek and heard the pain in her voice. He reached for her shoulder. "Faith?"
She shrugged off his touch and shook her head, "I can't" and disappeared down the hallway.
Ty was about to follow her when noises from the door only a few feet away grabbed his attention. Knowing that it wasn't any of his business he stepped up to the door and peered in anyway. There before him against the table that sat in the middle of the room was a man he called a friend and his commanding officer. Her hands working on the button of his jeans, his shirt already discarded along with hers. Her lips running over his neck and his hands making there way down her back.
Ty fought the urge to go in and beat Bosco to a pulp instead he turned and rushed after Faith.
~*~*~*~*~
The locker room doors swung open. He had been hoping to find Faith in here but like every other place he had checked she was nowhere to be seen. He noticed Ty and Sully getting ready for there shift and walked up to them.
"Have either of you seen Faith?"
Ty slammed the door of his locker and ignored the question. Bosco jumped slightly at the slamming of the door and looked over to Sully with a questioning look.
"She left about twenty minutes ago. She was pretty upset."
Ty shot Sully an angry glare warning him not to say any more. It didn't go unnoticed by Bosco.
"Is something wrong?...Is it the kids?...What?" his voice getting angrier but the minute as he waited for answers that they weren't giving him.
Ty and Sully began to walk out of the room. Bosco grabbed Ty's shoulder, "Davis what is it?!"
Bosco almost shivered as he saw the coldness in Davis's eyes. His words were even colder when he spoke, "I'm sure you'll figure it out, studly." Bosco stood their confused at Davis's words until he remembered Sully saying Faith took off twenty minutes ago.
Davis pushed his hand away.
"She, she didn't?" A feeling of nausea ran through his body as he realized what he had done.
Ty gave him a look that said he was pathetic and stormed out of the room with Sully close behind.
Bosco sat on the bench that was behind him, He ran his hands over his face hoping he would wake up from this nightmare, but he didn't.
There was only one thing he could do now and that was to find her he stood up and rushed outside.
~*~*~*~*~*
He put his key in the door. He had looked every where for her. He had even came back to the apartment a few times during the day hoping she'd be there but nothing.
He closed the door behind him greeted by darkness and the soft lights of the Christmas tree in the living room. He flicked the lights on to see her sitting on the couch. He breathed a sigh of relief that he had finally found her but as he walked closer and she looked up at him he lost it along with any air he had left. Her sad eyes could almost be described as lifeless except for the strong hurt and disappointment that was held in them. He had never seen them like that before, not once in all the years he had known her nothing they had ever encountered had ever caused them to look like that well except now because of him.
She stood up as he walked closer to her. She held up her hand to stop him.
"Faith I'm sorry, you have to believe me Faith."
She stood before him motionless.
"Faith."
"I gave them all up for you." She whispered. Her voice calm barely showing any emotion. "My daughter hates me, my son is torn in two trying to be fair to both of his parents," she took a breath. "And I ended up ripping out the heart of the one man who has always been by my side through all the shit I went through, he saved me and I broke his heart and for what?" She said accusingly anger starting to show. "for you, the great love of my life." She let out a small laugh, "Why couldn't I see what they all warned me about, everyone, even your own mother." she shook her head. "But I knew better, I knew *you* better....If you said you loved me then you meant it, right?"
"I do love you Faith. You know I do."
"not enough it looks like."
"It was a mistake, that's all. It didn't mean anything I swear Faith it didn't."
A new hurt crossed over her eyes as another tear fell. "I almost wish it did, that would mean you gave up on us for a reason something worth while but it was for nothing...you gave us up for nothing more then an itch I couldn't scratch." Her voice had grown softer.
This time it was Bosco's turn to flinch at her words. "Faith don't think that, Please. It had nothing to do with you, not like that. I was just stupid, that's it."
"Lord knows I wasn't the first but....but I was really hopping..." with a shaky breath she continued, "I honestly thought that when you slipped this ring on my finger I would be the last." As she said it she reached down to her left hand and with shaking fingers she pulled of a golden ring.
"No Faith don't. DON'T...please Don't do it." he pleaded his voice cracking as tears began to fall.
She reached for his hand. He pulled it back and closed it tight.
"No I won't let you, I wont."
"You don't have a choice." She grabbed his hand and opened it placing the ring into it.
His hand closed around it, "Faith..."
She wiped away her tears, and blinked her eyes trying to hold in the ones that still threatened to fall. "I'll come by tomorrow when you're on duty for the rest of my things. I won't take any thing more then what I came with....all I ask is that I get to keep Sam." she cursed inwardly as another tear fell. "Or we can do some kind of joint thing. Maybe he can spend a week with each of us...but I'll um I'll have to leave him here for tonight because I don't have a place for him."
She began to walk past him but he reached out and cupped her face with his hands, "Faith baby please, I'm sorry. Don't go." He kissed her softly on the lips, tears continuing to find there way down his cheeks. "Please don't go." He pleaded again as he rested his forehead on hers.
She didn't pull away she stayed there for just a moment and wished once again that they could go back. She must have been crying again because she felt the touch of his thumb wipe a tear away. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath trying to find the strength she knew she didn't have left.
She looked into his eyes and saw the hurt she was feeling reflected in his. "I have too." she whispered. Then she pulled away and made her way to the door. With a shaky hand she reached for the handle and began to turn it. "Good bye Bos."
"Faith wait!"
The door clicked shut.
"FAITH!"
