They had been waiting for an hour in the waiting room. They had been quickly ushered out of Shay's room when the machines had been blaring. They hadn't a clue what was happening. Dawson was trying to figure out what happened.
She was pacing up and down the waiting room going over everything in her head. She hadn't stopped she was thinking the worst. Had it been something she done? She finally stopped and slowly sat down on the chair next to Severide. As she laid her head on his shoulder she closed her eyes. After not sleeping properly these past weeks and the stress of waiting to find out about Shay she was tired. She slowly slipped off into a slumber.
*Dawson's Dream/Flashback*
Dawson was on edge all week, she had realised that she did in fact like her best friend Shay. Part of her wanted these feelings but the other part didn't. She was in love with Matt wasn't she? They had been going out for 2-3 months. She always had feelings for Matt Casey, so why now did she doubt them?
As she sat in the locker room staring off into space she realised how close her and Shay really were. They knew each other inside and out no matter what happened they would always turn to each other first. They could never go more than a day without talking.
Shay walked into the break room to see Dawson just sitting there with a blank face. She knew she was having an internal battle with herself so she just let her get on with it. She started to undress and get ready to go out on a date. She hoped this would be better than the last one.
Dawson didn't really notice Shay had walked in until she turned to see Shay standing at her locker in just her bra and pants. As she stared at the creamy flesh on show her face started to burn up. She had seen Shay like this loads of times when they both got undressed after shift, why now was she acting like this?
Shay turned to see Dawson staring at her with rosy red cheeks.
'Dawson am I turning you on?' Shay purred at Dawson while winking at her.
Dawson tore her eyes away to look Shay in the face, turning even redder. 'Wh... what? Pffft you wish Shay' Dawson stuttered out while turning to her locker.
'I keep telling you it's not too late to turn. I mean sure Matt is all dreamy but the ladies are out of this world!' Shay said
'Just look at me for example' She chuckled.
Dawson hid her face in the locker as she whispered 'I have'
'What was that? I couldn't hear you properly with your head shoved in your locker' Shay spoke as she started to put her date outfit on.
Dawson looked like a dear trapped in the headlights she couldn't believed she said that out loud.
'Nothing just agreeing with you on Matt' Dawson said while putting on a smile 'You getting ready for your date?' She asked while pealing her top off.
'Yeah I can't wait girl, food, alcohol, hot chick! My night is going to be fun' Shay laughed as she pulled her pants down.
Dawson whipped around as she was going to reply but the words stopped as she saw Shay's legs. She always knew her best friend was beautiful but when she really looked at her she was stunning. She quickly looked away before she was caught for the second time.
'Sure sounds like it' Dawson spoke with a hint of jealousy.
She didn't understand why she was jealous. She and Shay were best friends nothing more and they never would be. She was in with Casey after pining over him for so long.
'No need to get jealous girl. You know you're my number 1' Shay chuckled.
Shay slowly moved to the sink and looked at herself and smirked at Dawson's reaction.
'Right that's me done. I will see you tomorrow' Shay spoke as she collected her bag and slammed her locker shut and walked out of the locker room.
'Yeah see you tomorrow' Dawson muted as she finished getting changed.
Dawson was at home thinking about everything, did she really love Matt? Were these feelings for Shay stronger than the ones she had for Matt? All of these thoughts were spilling around in her head and she couldn't handle it.
As she began to think about Shay and what they had she realised she did indeed have feelings for Shay and they weren't of the best friend nature. The little touches and glances they had, they always went to each other first after something bad had happened.
Dawson sat there and realised she wanted Shay not Matt, she had to tell her before it was too late. She gathered her stuff and marched out the door in a determined fashion.
As she walked into Molly's she spotted Shay in a booth with her date. Dawson had totally forgotten that she was on a data. As she debated whether or not to go up to her Shay had noticed Dawson standing there.
'Sorry one minute' Shay said to her date and walked up to Dawson.
'I didn't think you would be here tonight. Is everything okay?' Shay whispered to Dawson.
'Yes...no. I need to talk to you... privately' Dawson whispered as she pulled Shay with her.
'Gabby I can't just leave my date! Can't this wait?' Shay whispered furiously.
'No it can't! We need to talk now! Go tell your date that your best friend needs you!' Dawson spat out at Shay. She turned and walked out of Molly's hoping that Shay would follow.
Shay stood there looking at the door where Dawson had just stormed out of. She turned back and walked slowly to her date.
'I'm sorry to do this but my best friend needs me' Shay said apologetically. She was having a good time but didn't think it would last past the one date.
'It's okay don't worry your best friend needs you I get it. If you want to have another date you have my number' her date who was called Sherry said as she slid out of the both.
Shay smiled sweetly at her and began on her mission to find what the hell was up with Dawson. As she walked out the door she spotted her leaning against the side of Molly's. She marched up to her demanding to know why she was acting like this.
'What is wrong with you? I get it you need me, I am your best friend but to waltz in and demand to speak to me in private when I was in the middle of a date?' Shay shouted at Dawson. She knew she shouldn't have raised her voice but she couldn't help it.
Dawson stood there looking Shay in directly in her eyes she could see the passion and fire in her eyes. She had really pissed Shay off.
'I'm sorry. Look okay I needed to speak with you straight away okay? It couldn't wait!' Dawson pleaded at Shay.
'What was so important that we need to discuss right away?' Shay asked.
'I..I god I don't even know how to say this...' Dawson stumbled on her words. This was becoming increasingly harder. She knew she had to tell Shay but she was scared that Shay wouldn't feel the same.
'Spit it out Dawson.' Shay fired.
Dawson didn't know how she was going to word it she was scared and nervous. She did the only thing that would get her point across without words. She grabbed Shay and pulled her close and planted her lips soundly on Shays.
Shay was shocked when she felt Dawson's lips upon hers. She didn't know what was happening. Her best friend was kissing her. She pulled away and looked at Gabby in shock.
'What was that?' Shay whispered to Dawson.
'That's what I needed to tell you Shay. I... I have feelings for you' Dawson whispered as she looked down at the floor.
Shay was in even more shock at what Dawson had just said. She would never in her wildest dreams imagine that Gabby would have feelings for her. Shay had always harboured feelings towards Dawson but she would never let anyone know about them until now. She slowly lifted Gabby's chin up with her finger and looked into her eyes.
'Dawson... I've always felt the same... I could never let you know though because you are straight' Shay chuckled 'well were straight. I wasn't the most subtle person with the little touches and glances' Shay whispered
Dawson couldn't help but cry she wasn't sad at all for the first time she was crying tears of happiness. They both slowly leaned as their lips met in the middle sparks flew. This is what it was meant to feel like.
*End of Flashback/Dream*
Severide had been sat there for a good hour with sleeping Dawson on his shoulder he hopped a doctor would come by soon because his arm was going numb.
'Shay' Dawson moaned
Severide couldn't help but chuckle it sounded like his friend was having a good dream. The shaking from his laugh woke Dawson up. As she groggily came around and wiped the sleep from her eyes she could see Severide smirking at her.
'What are you smirking at?' She whispered as she stretched her arms.
'Oh nothing really it just sounded like a really good dream' He said whispering seductively with a wiggle of his eyebrows.
Dawson looked like a deer caught in the headlights, had she really been speaking during her sleep? Dawson went to reply to Severide but the words stopped on her lips as the door to the waiting room opened.
