What We Hold Onto They were supposed to be starting forever. A quiet evening. A walk along the beach. A promise that would change everything. But one moment is all it takes for Tim Bradford and Lucy Chen to lose control of the life they thought they knew. When they disappear without a trace, their colleagues begin a desperate race against time. Separated, isolated, and forced to rely on nothing but their instincts, Tim and Lucy are pushed further than either of them ever imagined. With no idea where the other is, no guarantee they'll ever see each other again, and danger closing in from every direction, they have only one thing left to hold onto: each other. Because sometimes love isn't about knowing you'll be okay. Sometimes it's about believing the other person is still out there-and refusing to stop looking. A Chenford story about love, survival, loyalty, and finding your way back to the person who feels like home.

Lucy Chen, a gorgeous, young, kind ER nurse, with an overbearing, yet loving family, has been single for years, never thinking she needed someone or wanted someone. She's had a few short-term relationships since high school, but she never felt that spark with any of them. Her family has been trying to set her up since she was 20, but every single date never had a sequel. As the youngest of 5 kids, she had always been behind her older siblings; Aria, Tyler, Rose and Reese, but all her siblings were at least engaged by 28, but Lucy is 27 and never even had a serious relationship. Her parents, Vanessa and Patrick Chen, have always told her that when she finds "the one," she would know. Then Lucy meets Tim Bradford at a mutual friends birthday party and they just...click. •♥︎-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-♥︎• Tim Bradford is a sergeant and the watch commander at Mid-Wilshire Police Station. He recently got divorced from his wife, Isabel after she got addicted to drugs, and his best friend, Angela Lopez, has been trying to set him up again. During Tim's marriage, he hated everything about it, not because she was controlling, not because she cheated, not because he and Isabel argued constantly, all though the latter two were true, its because he never truly loved her. The only good thing Tim got from his marriage was his son, Oliver, who he got full custody of when the divorce was final. Tim has avoided dating since the divorce, not wanting to make Ollie think he was replacing his mother. Even if Isabel was a horrible person, she was still the mother of his child. But when Tim meets Lucy Chen at his friend Bailey's birthday party and actually feels... something, he decided to ask her out on a date. Despite feeling something, Tim doesn't expect their relationship to go anywhere, so he doesn't tell Lucy about Ollie. But over time, Tim realises he's falling for her...hard. And now he's in love with a girl who doesn

Tim Bradford and Lucy Chen were once Hollywoods favourite couple, known for their chemistry in their acting and modeling gigs in the early 2000s. Everyone loved them, no matter what Age or Gender, but they wanted different things. Tim wanted to take a step back from the limelight and settle down with Lucy, but she wanted to keep going for a few more years and eventually settle down. They constantly argued about what they wanted to do, so at the ages of 20 and 25, in 2010, they broke up. 8 years after their fateful breakup, Tim Bradford is working as a sergeant and the watch commander of Mid-Wilshire Police Station. He has completely set aside his past and only a select few in the station know about it, but one thing he can't set aside is Lucy Chen, the only girl he has ever truly loved. One thing Tim doesn't know is Lucy finally stepped down from her acting and modelling career a little over a year ago as she's wasn't getting as many jobs. As the true adrenaline junkie she is she tried to find a fast pace job that she can get with her qualifications, and she found her way to the police academy. She made two amazing friends and got assigned to North Hollywood Police Station. Shortly after becoming a P2 she transfered to Mid-Wilshire where she finds out the watch commander is her ex boyfriend that she will always be a little in love with. Tim Bradford. And what she definitely didn't expect is that they are both asked to go to Milan for a modelling reunion and they both agree without the other knowing.

Lucy Chen is a 30 year old single woman who lives in a small apartment in LA. She just started her Rookie year at the Mid-Wilshire LAPD. Since she was young she always wanted kids, but because of a car-accident she can't have kids anymore. L: Lucy C: Celina T: Tim Ta: Tamara A: Angela G: Grey J: John Ja: Jackson This whole story is in Lucy's perspective. If not, I will add it so you know 🫶🏻 Enjoy!!

Lucy and Celina hit it off

Detective Angela Lopez. Sergeant Lucy Lopez. Married before Celina even started the academy. Closing cases, protecting scenes, but most importantly, protecting themselves. Nobody really knew they were married. To them it was just Detective Angela Lopez, and Sergeant Lucy Chen, two women closer than best friends should be, but nobody minded them. And everybody supported them. So, when Angela and Lucy had a fight ending in screaming, slammed doors, and the cold shoulder they thought would never end, Lucy had to escape her ever ending pressure. Or the fear. And the army was her escape. But she didn't tell Angela. Until Angela woke up, never hearing Lucy's breath. Never hearing Lucy's goodbye. This story is about their time apart, and shielding their grief from the station. And when an officer with a flag landed on their doorstep and the words "Killed in action." Left their mouth. Angela was almost done for, almost. She relapsed, she spiralled, and she definitely should not have been going in to work. But Lucy Chen, Sergeant Lucy Lopez, she wasn't really dead. Was she? Did she ever really deploy, or was it an undercover operation to drugs being sold overseas without anyone knowing? Was Lucy temporarily working with the FBI? Or was Lucy really dead?

A series of silly little one shots while I try to beat my current writers block. Hope you enjoy. Each individual TW will be placed as the chapters go along. But each chapter may contain: vomiting / nausea, needles, hospitals, guns, knives, suggestive but not descriptive language. I do not own any of these characters, except the characters not in the show, The Rookie.

Random one-shot stories based on the TV series The Rookie, inspired by my own ideas and edited with AI (I'm not a writer and I'm dyslexic, so this just helps make them more readable). I'm not a professional writer, but I love sharing my ideas, so I hope you enjoy them! Always open to suggestions too. Mainly Chenford stories (because I absolutely love them 🫶) Any story's with 🌶️🌶️🌶️ in the title involve detailed smut so read with caution

**Leather & Light** Angela Lopez was never supposed to survive. A child soldier. A military legend. A detective feared by criminals and respected by everyone who knows her name. At only eighteen years old, Angela has already lived a lifetime of battles, carrying scars no one can see and secrets no one is allowed to uncover. She doesn't trust. She doesn't forgive. She doesn't let anyone get close. Until Lucy Chen walks into her life. Kind, determined, and stubbornly hopeful, Lucy believes everyone has something worth saving-even the people who have forgotten how to save themselves. She sees past Angela's reputation, past the cold stares and the leather jacket, and finds the broken girl hiding underneath the legend. But Angela has spent years building walls for a reason. Because the ghosts of her past are still hunting her. And when secrets buried in classified files begin to surface, Angela will have to choose between the armor that kept her alive... ...and the one person brave enough to show her she doesn't have to fight alone. **Fear made Angela Lopez untouchable. Kindness might be the only thing strong enough to break her.**

Lucy needs to chose between Angela or Tim but who will she choose?
