More than a year later. Erin is 16, Justin is 3

''Justin, you have to eat your breakfast.'' Erin said as she held up the little toast soldiers with jam. Justin frowned for a second but he took it from her hand then and stuffed it in his mouth.

''Wanna have...milk.'' He said then and Erin stood up with a smile.

''You always get what you want from Erin.'' Elena laughed as she entered and kissed Justin on his forehead.

''Didn't hear you coming home last night, was in bed early. How was the evening at the pier with your friends?'' Elena asked Erin as she leaned against the sink. Erin filled a cup for Justin and gave her a smile.

''Had a great time.''

''I am glad.''

''I got a lot of nice gifts.'' Erin said as she thought back about her night on the pier yesterday, in honour of her 16th birthday that was last week.

''Erin, milk!'' Justin said then, the young boy looking with a frown as she kept chatting instead of giving him his milk.

''Hey, Erin need to leave.'' Elena said and she handed Erin some money; ''I have to go to the hospital after work so you have to make dinner for you and Justin, Hank is going to later as well.''

''Why do you need to go to the hospital?'' Erin asked worried as she took the money.

''It's probably nothing, just getting something checked out. Don't worry.'' Elena said and then she took her bag, walked out of the house.

''We need to get ready too, Justin.'' Elena said then as it was almost time to bring him to daycare. She made lunch for in his backpack and when he was done eating the toast she walked outside with him, holding his hand as they walked to the daycare.

She brought him to daycare and started to walk to her own school then. The last year she had grown very very close with Justin as Elena had gotten a new job and was working more hours so she wa looking after them when Elena was not there. She really liked spending time playing with Justin's toy cars as he asked her almost every evening. He had such a big fantasy and enjoyed it so much and could tell her stories for hours.

She could tell everything to Elena. Even secrets she did not tell her friends. Elena was the person she trusted and she trusted her with everything. When something was wrong she went to Elena and she would get good advice and Elena listened, hugged her when she needed it. Erin was so happy, as it finally felt like she had a mother.

Hank still looked after her as well while he tried to get promoted in the CPD now, so he spend a lot of time there. BUt he made sure she was getting all she needed and she was really grateful for that.

At school she saw her friends and she walked towards them, when they suddenly all turned their backs to her and Erin frowned.

''Hey guys, great evening last night.'' She said and they looked backwards, looking at her, angry and turning around again.

''What is wrong?'' Erin asked confused. Had they not liked the night at the pier for her sixteenth birthday? She thought it was a good night. Worried she stood behind them.

''Go away, you filthy junkie!'' One of the girls suddenly said and the other turned around.

''Junkie.''

''Druggie.''

''Can I buy some heroin?'' The girl she had trusted the most started to laugh and Erin bit her lip and turned around.

Hurt Erin ran away, to the bathroom where she closed the bathroom stall and started to sob. They had found out. When she finally had had some friends.

The rest of the day they were still making fun of her and calling her names and none of the teachers seemed to notice. She was mad, upset and shocked as she couldn't believe her friends could do this to her.

Barely making it through the day she ran away to get Justin, wanting to flee the school and never come back. She had fled from her past and now it was knocking on her door again.

She got Justin out of daycare and upset as she was, she bought an ice cream for both of them, to feel a little better. As they were walking home somebody bumped against them and Justin fell to the ground, crying as his ice cream fell on the pavement.

''What is wrong with you?'' Erin asked as she crawled up, the boy behind them crawling up, grabbing his bag. He was a young boy and she estimated him at barely 18.

''I am going to miss my bus.'' The boy said as he took his bag and Erin lifted Justin up, comforting him. The bag said Halstead and as Justin was still crying, she thought about kicking Mr. Halstead and his bag into the curb, angry after the long day. ''Just enlisted and I am going to miss my bus.'' The soldier sighed as he walked away. Erin was angry that he didn't apologize as he started running again.

''I'm a soldier, I'm important, I'm an asshole.'' Erin imitated his voice as she handed Justin her ice cream and Justin looked up.

''Asshole?''

''Forget I said that.''

They walked home and Erin prepared dinner. She really wished Elena had been home now. The only things she really needed now was telling Elena what had happened and a hug, Elena tellign her it was going to be okay. Because she knew Elena would never break her trust.

When Hank arrived home, the kids were already asleep. At least, they were upstairs so he guessed they had gone to bed. It was bed time for Justin.

Elena walked inside a few minutes later and Voight looked worried as she had been crying.

''Elena, what is wrong?'' He asked worried a he pulled her down next to him, looking at her and laid his arm around her.

''I...I went to the hospital today after I felt a lump in the shower, in my breast and when I called the doctor...he told me to come by this afternoon and he didn't trust it so I had to come in today..and I had a biopsy.'' Elena said, trying to keep her tears from flowing.

''It's going to be okay, sweety. It is probably nothing.'' Hank said as he pulled her in his arms as she started to sob.

''I am scared, Hank.'' Elena sobbed and he kept caressing through her hair, trying to comfort her. Suddenly Erin and Justin walked down the stairs.

''Weren't you sleeping?'' Hanks asked as he consoled his wife in his arms.

''We were playing with the cars.'' Erin said and Justin walked tot he couch, to his mommy. ''Are you crying because of asshole?''

''What?'' Hank said but before he got an answer of his young son Justin climbed up and hugged his mom. ''Not cry mommy.''

Erin just looked at Elena as she knew the crying probably had something to do with the hospital and it made her feel terrible. All she cared about was this family and now something was terribly wrong. Everything was completely wrong right now.

NOTE: The girls in her school found out and turn on Erin now and to make matters even worse, things are not stable at home.
