Chapter 2
Erin's Point of View
As we arrived at my apartment I showed Taylor the spare room.
"Yours as long as you need." I assured her.
"Thanks." She smiled.
A silence fell as she stood awkwardly beside the bed. It was then I noticed she had nothing with her. Not even a chance of clothes, nothing.
"I will get you some clean clothes." I told her.
"Thanks, Bunny didn't exactly give me time to pack." She mumbled.
I nodded in understand and gave her an apologetic look. It was like looking in the mirror to the past. However this time I wasn't going to let history repeat itself. Bunny wasn't going to ruin Taylor's childhood like she did mine.
"It's fine, give me a sec." I smiled as I headed to get her a change.
I was back moments later to find she was still standing in the same spot.
"Taylor this is your room now, you're allowed to move." I joked.
She gave me a small smile as I passed her the clothes. I added in a spare toothbrush and some toiletries she might need.
"Bathroom is door opposite your room, everything else you need is there. Um fridge is full so eat anything you want….I think that's everything?" I told her.
"Ohhh wait dinner, what do you want?" I asked.
She looked at me with a mixture of shock and confusion.
"Um I don't mind." She mumbled.
"Well what do you like to eat?" I questioned.
"Honestly I don't mind." She repeated.
I could see she was just saying that so I didn't make a fuss.
"Ok so you want leftovers, cause I think I have some old spinach or soup left from last week." I smirked.
Her screwed up face gave her 'I don't mind attitude away.'
"Um a normal dinner would be nice? Just not takeaway, Bunny lives on those." She sighed.
"Something's never change, but a normal dinner I can do." I grinned.
Taylor smiled in response as she finally sat down on the bed.
"I think I will have a shower first…if that's ok?" She asked hesitantly.
I couldn't help but laugh.
"I think I can handle you having a shower, next time don't ask." I assured her.
She nodded in response and headed off to the bathroom. Moments later I heard the water running. I got dinner started and used the remainder of the time to call Voight.
"Hello?" He answered.
"Hey Hank, sorry to call this late. Remember those days you said I could have?" I asked.
"Yeah?" He questioned.
"Turns out I need them." I told him.
"Everything ok kid?" He asked concerned.
"Everything's fine, but you know the little sister I told you about? She is here, as in staying with me. Bunny through her out." I sighed.
"She thorough her teenage daughter out?" Voight replied.
"I know right? Sound familiar?" I scoffed.
"Kind of, but this time the kid has a big sister looking out for her. She is in safer hands now than she ever was." He said.
"Thanks Hank, so I can have the days off?" I checked.
"Of course, just let me know when your coming back." He assured me.
"Thanks Hank I will." I said as I ended the call.
Five minutes later Taylor appeared showered, and changed.
"Feel better?" I smiled as she sat down at the table.
"Much." She replied.
"So um you're a cop?" She asked, trying to make conversation I assumed.
I nodded in response.
"Yeah after I left home I was a wreck, I was lucky enough to be fostered by a cop. He changed my life. He's actually my boss now. I'm in the Intelligence Unit." I told her.
"So Bunny did this to you to?" She mumbled.
"Kind of her thing." I sighed.
"But hey, you have me know. So don't worry about Bunny." I assured her.
She gave me a small smile as she looked at the floor. I was about to say something to her when my apartment door flung open.
"Here's Jay!" My idiot partner yelled as he closed the door.
Clearly quoting the Shinning after we watched it together a few days earlier.
'Shit I forgot I told him to come over.' I thought to myself. He came around the corner and stopped dead. He clearly didn't see me as he stared at Taylor.
"And you are?" He asked confused.
"Her sister?" Taylor smirked as she pointed at me.
Jay blushed bright red as he looked towards me. I could see total confusion written on his face.
"Recently found sister. Didn't know each other existed until a few hours ago." I explained.
Jay nodded in response but he still looked baffled.
"Jay Halstead this is Taylor my little sister. Taylor this is Jay my um…." I trailed off.
We hadn't got as far as discussing what we were yet and I didn't know how to finish the sentence. Thankfully Jay stepped in.
"Partner at work." He finished.
"Partner huh? Nothing else?" Taylor laughed.
Jay shook his head but it was clear Taylor wasn't buying it.
"Dinners ready!" I announced, trying to stop the awkwardness.
"Is your 'Partner' Jay staying?" Taylor asked, using sarcastic air quotes as she did.
"Her cooking? Not a chance!" Jay laughed.
I jokingly glared at him as he continued to laugh.
"I think I will give you two time together instead." He corrected.
"That's better." I smirked as he headed for the door.
"Bye Jay." Taylor called after him.
"Bye Taylor." He yelled in response.
I followed him to the door and waited until her was in the hall before talking to him.
"I'm sorry I didn't get the chance to tell you she just….." I began to explain but he cut me off by kissing me.
"Erin its fine. Go look after your sister. I will see you later." He replied, giving me his sexy half smile.
"Thanks Jay." I whispered as he headed off.
As soon as he was around the corner I returned to the apartment for my first dinner with my little sis…..
Hope you enjoyed :-) Until next time ;-)
