The first time we met.

"hey lady move your car, I've gotta get to work!" he yelled from his jeep

"does it look like I can move jerk!" I yelled out of my road runner at him

"go around!" he yelled back

"I can't get around!"

"just do something lady!" he yelled getting out of his car as I got out of mine

"what do you expect me to do? Drive over the truck in front of me?"

"if it will get me a date with you than yea drive over it" he gave me a side grin

"if it gets you off my bumper than yea it will get you a date with me" I said with my hands on my hips

"shall we say 6:30 tonight? Dinner at your choice of location" he smiled

"how about 6? If we wait til 6:30 my roommate will be home and you'll have to tell him your lifestory"

"aright we'll go at 6. I'm jack kelly but everybody calls me kelly or soldier"

"alright kelly, I'm joe cochran" I smiled shaking hands with him

"nice to meet you joe cochran"

"nice to meet you too"

"alright now I need to get up there and do my job" he said walking up to the wreck in front of us that had us stopped

"you're a cop?" I asked shocked

"sure am! And just so you know I did actually yell at you so I could get a date with you" he grinned walking off

"your something jack kelly" I said with my arms folded across my chest

"and you some kinda mechanic joe cochran" he said walking up to the driver of the truck stopped in front of us

And that waas how we first met and from that day on we were the perfect couple fights and all by the time christmas came around we had been together a year and we had fell in love.

By our second christmas together kelly had popped the question and we were happily engaged and getting married in july on my birthday but than the saddest day of my life happened, Kelly was working an extremely dangerous case and went missing.

They spent the next year searching for him but never found him. Still to this day they hsven't found him but he's declared legally dead by the state of California.

The last words he ever said to me were

"bye baby, I love you and I'll see you tonight" that was the last thing he ever said to me

The words I love you play back in my head every morning and every night.

Some days are worse without him than others but I still miss him more than I can ever put into words.

"rocky?" I asked as I put the new oil in my road runner while rocky put my new headlight bulb in.

"yea joe?"

"can I ask you something?"

"sure baby girl" he stood up and leaned against my cr

"do you ever get over losing someone you love? Did you ever get over logan's mom?" he looked at me thoughtfully

"jo, you never really get over losing someone you love like lauren or jack but it does get easier"

"does it really rocky? He's been gone almost 2 months and it seems like its harder now than it was getting the call saying he was gone"
