Keeping to her word Shaylynn picked up Beth around seven and they drove to the bakery apartment.
BETH: I could have drove here myself!
SHAYLYNN: I don't trust you! I have a good mind to get a patrol car parked outside to make sure you don't leave!
BETH: Don't be so stupid!
SHAYLYNN: What are you going to say to him?
BETH: I don't know!
SHAYLYNN: Did you text him yet?
BETH: No, i'll do it later. I'm tired!
Shaylynn sighed then stopped outside the apartment.
SHAYLYNN: Well I hope everything goes okay for you two, i'm rooting for ya!
BETH: Thanks
SHAYLYNN: He started at a weird time yesterday so he'll probably be home early!
BETH: Okay
SHAYLYNN: Beth, you do want to get back together with him, don't you?
BETH: Only for the right reasons
SHAYLYNN: What's that supposed to mean?
Beth burst into tears
SHAYLYNN: Beth? What's wrong?
BETH: What if he doesn't want me? I'll be all by myself!
SHAYLYNN: Beth you'll not be alone long if Severide doesn't want you! Have you seen yourself in the mirror?
BETH: Everytime i walk past one!
Shaylynn didn't know whether to laugh or not
SHAYLYNN: You're hot and you know it! Now get up there and open a bottle of wine! I need to go! I have somewhere to be!
BETH: I'll text you later
Shaylynn kissed her cheek then Beth got out.
The apartment was freezing when she walked into the kitchen. After switching on the heating she went to make some tea. Luckily there was milk in the fridge, it looked like Kelly had done a grocery shop. While she was waiting for the kettle to boil she scrolled through all of the texts Kelly had sent her. She was soon bawling her eyes out as she made her cup of tea.
BETH: I don't want tea! I need wine! (crying)
Beth walked into the living room and and got changed into a long t shirt that she had brought with her, she was now sweating as it was too hot!
Twenty minutes later she had cried herself to sleep on the couch.
A few hours later Kelly walked into the living room and saw her asleep on the large brown chesterfield.
KELLY: Wow, where have you been?
He went to bend down and give her a kiss. He smiled at her again at how tanned she was
KELLY: God I've missed you (smiling)
He shook her gently to wake her
KELLY: Beth?
Beth woke up and looked at Kelly
BETH: Am i dreaming?
KELLY: Am I?
She pulled herself up, Kelly knelt on the floor in front of her.
KELLY: I love you!
Beth bit her bottom lip and looked right into his eyes, she smiled.
