She wakes up scared, she sat on the bed trying to figure out where she was, her breathing was harsh, seconds ago she had herd Yates voice, where was she?… it was dark… she looks to her side and see him… he was still a sleep quietly, lying on his back.
She was at Jay's, and Yates was gone, she shot him…
- Come on girl get your shit together – Erin mumbles to herself. She gets up to go to the bathroom, she doesn't want to wake him so didn't turn on the light… not a very good idea… she stumbled on something… - Ouch – Erin sighed.
He wakes up, grabs is gun from his night stand in a blink of a second… - Who is there? – Jay asks.
- It's me… sorry don't mean to wake you… - Erin said turning on the light, and that was when she sees the gun – Oh it's OK, it's just me…
- Hey sorry, sorry… I just… I was dreaming I guess… - Jay said putting the gun down - Sorry yesterday was crazy and I'm not used to have company…
- That´s because you never invite me here – Erin said teasing him.
- No, that´s because you always want to stay in your house, because you have all your stuff there and everything, don't put this on me. – Jay said getting out of the bed hugging her and kissing her lightly on her lips.
- Yes, yes, excuses… go fix me same breakfast while I get dress. – Erin said turning her back on him, with a smile on her face.
She enters in the bathroom and takes off his sweater... she saw the bruising… And all came back to her again, tears started to fall on her face, her hands began to shake a little… she grabs the sink with both hands, trying to get herself together.
- Come on Erin… it´s all over – she said to herself looking in the mirror. – He´s dead… - She said that, but that doesn't mean that she misses Nadia less, and the cry gets louder.
Jay heard her and think to himself if he should go there or let her be, for a little while he just stood there hearing... her cries was hurting him too much, so he decides to go in.
- Hey, it´s OK… it´s all over now. – Jay said hugging her and then cleaning the tears from her face gently. – Just relax, I´m here for you… - Jay said.
- I miss her so much…
- I know, I miss her too – Jay said and stay there just with his arms around her and let her cry with her head buried in his chest.
She doesn't know how long they stay there, but she started to fell calmer, look at him and said:
- We need to get to work…
- We need to get breakfast first… I made something for you, like you commended - Jay said with a little smirk in his face. - Come on, get dressed.
They get to the district together. It was not a secret anymore, that they were together, so was no point on taking two cars for work.
They get inside and Platt said something about Erin should had stayed at home and Halstead forcing her to come to work just to be around her, but she just smile to her, she still feels a little numb with all of that had happened. She got a little more comfortable when she gets upstairs and saw Olivia.
- Hey, you steel here? – Erin asked – Thought you had a plane early this morning?
- I want to say goodbye to you. – Olivia answer.
- To me or to Voight? – Erin asked with a teasing smile in her face. – Oh wait... you do that last night, right?
- Erin don't do that to me. – Olive begs smiling – I told you what it is…
- Yes, yes, I know what it is – Erin keep teasing. Voight enter in the break room and asks:
- What is what?
- Oh nothing, just something Olivia is telling me about last night – Erin answer now teasing Hank.
- Erin, don't. – Hank said.
- OK, OK, I don't, but is funny … - Hank give her a threatening look – I shut my mouth now. – Erin said smiling.
Jay observes all this from a distance, at least she was smiling and that was good, very good actually. For a minute he goes back to the days after Nadia´s death and remember how Erin close herself… and try to wash that thoughts away… she seems better now and he will not make the same mistakes again, this time he was here and will not let her go to that hole she likes to hide, no way he allow that again.
The morning start with paper work about the Yates mess and all the team was on their desks. Olivia and Hank were talking in his office.
- Well guys I'm leaving, as always it was great working with all of you, hope see you all soon but in better circumstances. – Olivia said going out of Hank´s office. She gives Hank a quick hug and said looking through the bullpen to Erin :
- Take care of you and keep an eye on her, OK?
– Of course, I stay in touch. – Hank answers in a low voice and with a little smile. Olivia say good bye to everyone and let Erin to the end. - Be safe girl and remember what I told you… My phone is always on… always – Olivia said hugging tight on Erin.
- Yes I know, and thank you for that and for your advice about Jay… I reach him last night and it was good and the right thing to do… thank you – Erin told her with a sad smile on her face.
- You are going to be OK… You just need time, you will see. - Yes – Erin nodded. Olivia turns her back to Erin and said: - Goodbye guys… - waving her hand high.
- Hey Olivia – Erin call and then lower her voice – It´s OK You know… You and Hank… And it is a good thing…
Olivia grabs Erin´s hand, squeezed a little and smile. Hank words came to her head:
- I liked that you could be here more often. You´re good to me... you know... and to Erin too…
