Pushy [Judy's POV]

When I came up with this, I said "aww" because it was really cute to me.

"Nick, I told you, I don't need help!" I insisted, trying to yank my arm out of Nick's grasp but to no avail.

"Look at you, Judy, you're a mess!" He exclaimed and I narrowed my eyes.

"I'm a mess? Says the guy who's been living under a bridge his whole life!" I retorted, staring Nick straight in the eye.

Why was I saying this? I didn't mean any of it, but somehow it was slipping from my mouth. The pain in Nick's eyes wasn't visible which I was glad for but still- what was wrong with me?

"Judy, you can insult me all you like, but I'm only doing this because I care," he urged and I growled.

"If you cared then you would take my word and leave me alone!" I yelled, managing to yank my arm out of Nick's grasp at long last.

Tears blurred my vision as I turned away from Nick and made my way to the window. I rested my arms on the windowsill and rested my head in-between my arms as I began to sob.

All of this was just too much for me. The pressure, the expectations, the families of everyone I've let down as a police officer. All of it was too much for me and I was resorting to taking it out on Nick, who didn't deserve this.

My body shook as I let myself fall to the floor and cry into my paws, hearing footsteps behind me.

Before I knew it, soft paws were around my waist and I was being lifted up off of the floor and into Nick's chest.

He wrapped his arms around me and held me tightly as I cried into his chest, the feeling of just letting it all out feeling like heaven to me.

I needed this.

I needed to be in Nick's embrace and feel like it was safe to cry, because nobody else could comfort me the way Nick did.

Nobody else understood.

Only Nick understood the pressures of being a cop and he wouldn't tell me I was being stupid for crying over what I signed up for.

"Sheesh, you're so stubborn, Carrots," he joked, resting his chin on-top of my head.

I felt a smile creep up onto my face as my sobs turned to sniffles and a giggle escaped my mouth.

"And you're so pushy."

Ow, my poor fangirling heart.
