Chapter 2: Hard to believe

The sun started to peek through the curtains of Erin's bedroom, landing on the two entangled bodies that laid in bed. Jay raised his head up, blinking a few times, before looking down at the sleeping person that was laying next to him. Leaning down, he placed a kiss on her bare shoulder, moving a piece of hair that fell across her face. "Good morning," he whispered, placing another kiss on her shoulder. Erin moved her head so she was snuggled into Jay, "mm good morning." Jay chuckled before leaning down to give her a kiss on the lips. "Do you want breakfast?" Erin shook her head, "I'm meeting Hank in an hour or so." Jay nodded, before asking her, "have you given anymore thought about telling him about us?" Erin smiled, "yeah, I'm going to tell him at breakfast, I want us to be real, no more secrets." Jay didn't think it was possible for him to grin so big, as he rolled onto his back, pulling Erin on top of him so that she was straddling him. Erin shifted lightly, making enough movement for Jay to let a small groan out. "As much as I would like to pick up where we left off last night; I need to get a shower and get going." She leaned down to give him a kiss, giggling when he pulled her closer, rolling over so that he was on top. "Jay." Erin let out a sigh as he began to kiss along her neckline; "Jay please?" Erin giggled some more, he was making it difficult for her to resist him. "Please what?" Jay murmured as he began to kiss further down, hearing Erin moan quietly. He knew she was trying to avoid giving in to him. "Jay unless you want Hank busting down my door, I suggest you let me go." Jay stopped his trail of kisses and smiled like a cheshire cat; "so much for keeping it in my pants like he ordered." Erin tried to refrain from busting out laughing, failing to do so. "You did not just say that?" as she wiggled out from underneath him and stood up. Jay rolled back onto his back, propping himself up with an arm, "yeah I think I just did. How is it my fault that he assigned to a very sexy partner?" Erin just shook her head as she leaned down to whisper in Jays ear; "you know I was hoping someone could help me reach my back, it's a hard spot for me." With that said, Erin walked out of her bedroom, Jay leaping out of bed hot on her heels.

******************30 minutes later**************************************************

"Shit Jay. I'm going to be late." Erin quickly ran into her bedroom, throwing her towel on the bed. "Don't blame me, if I recall just moments ago you were begging me not to stop." Jay smirked as he stood in the doorway watching her get ready. "I'm not even going to comment; "Erin smiled as she walked towards him, leaning up to give him a kiss. "I have to get going, I love you." Jay grinned, "I'll never get tired of hearing those words coming off your lips; I love you too." Erin waved as she grabbed her keys and walked out of her apartment.

******Jays POV********************************************************************

It's hard to imagine, me and Erin dating. The first time I saw her, I was nervous; it didn't make it any easier when they assigned me as her partner. But 3 years as partners and 7 months of secretly dating, we've come a long way and still have more of life's journey ahead of us. It's funny how it all started, the two of us dating. Erin was dating that firefighter Severide from 51, I'd occasionally bring a girl back to my place to play scrabble. But then Erin and Severide broke up, apparently their relationship was all physical. I always thought Severide was more action less talk kinda guy. So after throwing back a few shots and a couple beers later; we came back to my place and one thing led to another and now 7 months later here we are. I wouldn't change it for anything, and I'm really hoping that Voight gives his blessing. I want to be able to take the next step with Erin, plus it would be nice to enjoy each other's company in public without the fear of being caught. I figured I would shoot her a quick text telling her that I love her and to let me know how it goes with Voight. 7 months, hard to belive it sometimes.

End POV

Erin sent a quick text to Hank, "running behind a little, be there soon." right before she pulled out of her parking lot. Her phone buzzed with an incoming message, "take your time. I'll be waiting at our table." Erin smiled, every year on this day, her and Hank would meet at the little diner, sit at the same table and order the same thing, like they have done for the past 12 years. 12 years ago today, 14 year old Erin Lindsay sat across from Hank Voight asking for his help. 'And now look where I am,' Erin thought to herself as she headed to the diner.

Meanwhile just a few blocks over, a middle aged man by the name of Wyatt, stumbled out of a neighborhood bar, almost falling face first going to his car. "Stupid bitch. Had no right to cut me off, telling me I've had enough." He sat in his car for a few minutes, before driving onto the streets of Chicago. Going over the events that happened less than 24 hours, it made him even more angrier than he was, causing him to press down on the gas pedal, accelerating past the speed limits. 'What's the point anymore? All in a day I lose my job,my wife, my house, everything. It's not worth it anymore.' His mind racing right along with the speed of the car, oblivious to the cars honking and pedestrians yelling at him. He continued to accelerate his car to where he was going 70mph, paying no mind to the traffic light turning red. That is until he slams his car into another car, causing it to slide to the sidewalk before flipping and landing on its top. Raising his head from the steering wheel, he glances around only to see the driver from the other car leaning forward on their steering wheel, around that car people are yelling for help, others are dialing their phones. He could hear sirens in the distance, he sighed before leaning back, 'My life is definitely over now.'

Coming to a traffic light, waiting on the light to turn green, Erin took the oppurtunity to check her phone again for messages. Seeing one from Jay, she opened it up to read, "let me know how it goes with Voight. Love you always babe." She smiled, she started to reply until a car behind her decided to lay on its horn. 'Ugh impatient assholes, one of the many reasons I hate mondays.' As soon as she started to drive off again, Erin heard more honking , only to look out her window to see a car plow into her side, pushing her car towards the sidewalk, before she is hanging upside down in her seat slouched forward.

******Erins POV*******************************************************************

Time stopped or maybe it slowed down. How the hell do I even know? Is this what people mean when they say you see your life flash before your eyes? I can see the glass shattering, and as I raise my hands to cover my face the airbag deploys, the force of it snapping my wrist backwards. I feel a sharp pain in my side, I take a deep breath and then everything stops. I take another deep breath, only to feel that sharp pain again. Everything hurts, I just want the pain to go away. I've never felt so scared until now. I can hear someone yelling to call 911, but they sound far away. Maybe if I just close my eyes, the pain might ease up. "Erin, you have to stay awake sweetie." That voice, I recognize that voice from somewhere. "Stay awake sweetie." I'm trying, but it hurts so much. I can hear the sirens approaching closer, I'm struggling to keep my eyes open. "Just hold on a little longer." That voice again, maybe it's my imagination. I'm just going to close my eyes and rest till the fire department arrives. It's hard to believe that I was supposed to meet Hank this morning and now I'm covered in glass shards and blood, hearing voices.

**********End chapter 2************************************************************

AN: So I hope this chapter satisfies my awesome readers. I'm already working on chapter 3, there will be more POVs, and I will go somewhat into more depth about my OC Wyatt eventually, still trying to figure out where I want to fit his story in. Hope everyone enjoys.
