AN/ Hey everyone, I think until softball season and school raps up, I will be posting every weekend, unless I get a free day or something. After that I will try and post twice if not, three times a week. Also after this story wraps up (I want to keep it to a 10 chapter limit for this one) I will be attempting to write a Jophia fanfic! There aren't enough (like 2 maybe lol). It will probably be about the day that changed our lives forever. AKA, New York. September 27th. Best day. (Besides December 19th.) Okay enough rambling. Please read and review!

Disclaimer: I own nothing but my thoughts.

Erin's lights were flashing and her sirens blaring. She didn't exactly know what she was going to say when he opened the door. If he opened the door that was. She just had to tell him. She can't lose him. He is her other half. She is whole with him. Jay Halstead the man she loves. She needs him. Especially now.

.

Jay was passed out on the couch. He had knocked back at least 8 shots. He was sleeping kind of soundly (if you count being passed out drunk sleeping soundly). He shot up when he heard 3 loud, very, very, loud knocks on his door. "Fuck!" Jay exclaimed in pain. He stood up slowly and walked over to the door. He didn't bother looking through the peephole. He grabbed the doorknob and turned it opening the door to the one person he was hoping was not outside the door the most. Erin Lindsay. He quickly shut it before she could even open her mouth to speak.

"Jay, I need to talk to you! Please! Jay, I need your help." Erin pleaded.

That sent Jay over the edge 'I need your help'.

Jay quickly turned back, opened the door and started yelling, "You need help? Really, because I thought I was the one who's girlfriend stabbed him in the back! Slept with someone else! Got so dru-" He was cut short by Erin screaming back at him, "I wasn't drunk Jay! And I didn't sleep with him on my own will! I was rapped Jay! Is that better than your girlfriend sleeping with another man? Getting so drunk? Is that what you want to hear? Jay, I couldn't remember what happened till about 30 minutes ago! I told you the night was foggy, and that I didn't remember everything that happened when I told you what I thought happened in the locker room!" Erin yelled sobbing.

Jay stood there with his mouth open. He couldn't say anything. "See, any man, who at one point in time, loved someone, would have said of course that's not better. Unlike you who has his mouth open but can't say a single thing like a dipshit. Man, I thought you were the perfect gentleman. Now it's clear, you're just another stuck up douche bag who doesn't give a shit about anyone else's feelings but your own. Thanks for clearing that up Jay. Really you're make it so much easier to walk away." Erin said.

She knew most of the things she said weren't true at all. She was confused, hurt, scared, sad, angry, and most of all she felt like shit.

Just as she turned out of the doorway to walk away, Jay murmured in a shocked, and very quiet tone "You were rapped?"

"Yes Jay, I thought I made that pretty clear." Erin said, with tears in her eyes.

Jay very cautiously walked over to Erin. Looked into her teary eyes, and hugged her as tight as he could.

That was enough to send her over the edge. She broke down in his arms and started sobbing. Jay hold on to her as tight as he could so she wouldn't fall to her knees then, and there.

He led them back into his apartment and onto the couch, where he lifted Erin up and onto his lap as she leaned forward into his chest and continued to cry.

They stayed like that for about an hour until she stopped crying.

He never would have thought she was rapped. He felt so guilty for yelling at her, but he didn't know. She didn't tell him because she didn't know at first either. He was supposed to protect Erin no matter what, and here she sat on his lap shaking from crying so much because she was rapped. Although there was nothing he could have done to stop it, he still felt guilty.

He looked down at her and whispered her name, "Erin?"

When she didn't look up, he took one of his fingers and pulled her chin up to his face.

Her eyes were completely bloodshot from crying so much.

"I'm so sorry. I didn't know. I can't imagine what you went through. But I promise I will never let that happen every again. 'One day' is today, and today is everyday. I will never let you go ever again. I promise we will find the bastard who did this to you. He will never see the light of day again. I will take care of you, forever and always." Jay finished.

"I love you so much and i'm sorry I yelled at you." Erin said starting to cry again.

"Shh, you don't need to apologize. I love you too and I will try to help you as much as I can with this. I promise." Jay explained.

Jay took Erin's face in his hand and wiped away the falling tears, and kissed her softly.

"We'll get through this. I promise one step at a time. Together." Jay promised.

"Can I stay the night? I don't want to be alone." Erin asked.

"I wasn't planning on letting you leave." Jay said with a sad smile.

Jay lifted her up and carefully carried her to the bedroom. He sat her down and started to undress her. She was completely undressed when he got up and got her one of his sweatshirts to wear for the night. He undressed himself and climbed in bed with her, pulled her as close as she could get to him and held her tight. Falling asleep with her in his arms.

This was going to be a long road, but they were going to get through this together. Because after all 'That's why you have backup.'
