Chapter 14
Taylor's Point of View
As I walked inside Erin's room my breath caught in my throat when I saw her. There was tubes and wires coming from all directions as she lay unconscious. I slowly walked over to her bedside and sat down next to her. Once I was comfortable I took her hand in mine.
"Hey big sis." I whispered.
"Um I don't really now what to say…" I admitted.
I fell silent as I watched her chest slowly raise and fall. I felt helpless and guilty because I escaped when she couldn't. Not only that but I had escaped because of what Erin did.
"Erin please wake up…." I sobbed as I finally let my emotions free.
"I really need you in my life. I didn't know things could be so good until I met you, Jay and Voight." I sniffed as I wiped my cheeks.
"P-P-P-Please E-E-Erin wake u-u-up!" I cried.
I got no response just more beeping from the machines telling me she was at least alive. As I once again fell silent I heard a small knock at the door. Looking around I saw Jay peeking in. I gestured for him to join us. He slowly walked in and sat down on Erin's other side.
"I hope you don't mind. Will said I could come in. Voight is staying outside in case Bunny shows up." He told me.
I nodded in response but didn't speak as more tears were falling.
"Taylor she will wake up." Jay tried to assure me.
I nodded again, still not convinced.
"Hey, I'm right. Erin will get through this, she has to." Jay said more insistently.
"You really believe that?" I questioned.
"Yeah I do." He replied but the slight waver in his voice told me he had his doubts.
Like me Jay was living on a prayer that Erin would wake up, but he didn't have a Chrystal ball.
A few hours later I had dozed off only to be woken by yells from the other side of the door. Jay who was also asleep jumped to his feet.
"Stay here." He ordered.
I watched as he opened the door and looked up the corridor. The voices were coming from Voight and Bunny.
"Guess she showed up." I sighed.
"Yeah guess so. Don't worry Voight wont let her in." Jay said.
"He doesn't really have a choice. I mean she is Erin's mom, doesn't that give her a right?" I asked.
"I don't know but Erin wouldn't want her here." Jay replied.
"I'm going to go and help Voight. You ok here?" Jay asked.
"I'm fine." I smiled.
Jay nodded and left the room, closing the door behind him.
"Erin I could really use you right now. Voight is arguing with Bunny and Jay is going to help." I told her.
not expecting a response I was shocked when she stirred.
"Erin?" I gasped.
"Can you hear me?" I questioned.
"T-T-That depends. D-Did you just say B-B-Bunny was here?" Erin croaked.
I raced towards her and wrapped my arms around her. Slowly she managed to return the hug as I clung on for dear life.
"Taylor is Bunny really here?" Erin pressed.
"Um yeah but don't worry about her. How are you? Are you ok? Are you in pain?" I questioned.
"I'm fine Tay, just a little tired and sore. I will be fine don't worry about me." Erin smiled.
Breathing a sigh of relief I climbed onto the bed beside her.
"I'm so happy you're awake. You had me really worried. When I shot Liam I thought you were dead…" I began to explain but Erin cut me off.
"Wow Wow slow down. You shot Liam?" Erin cried.
"He was trying to kill you and Jay. I thought he had killed you Erin!" I explained.
"Well are you ok? How did you even get a gun? Is he dead?" Erin asked.
Before I could answer Jay and Voight appeared.
"Erin your awake!" Jay yelled excitedly as he wrapped both Erin and myself in a bear hug.
As he released us he pulled Erin in for a kiss, much to the disgust of Voight.
"Halstead!" Voight yelled.
Jay didn't seem to hear him.
"Halstead!" Voight yelled again.
This time Jay's head shot up.
"Think I could hug my kid?" Voight smirked.
"Sorry….." Jay mumbled as he reluctantly moved aside.
As soon as he had Voight wrapped Erin in a tight embrace. It was the first time I saw real tears run down his tough guy face.
"Good to see you kid, you had me worried. Don't know what I would do without you." He whispered before letting Erin go and allowing Jay back into his protective position.
"Thanks guys and thanks for saving me and looking after Taylor. Oh and for getting rid of Bunny. I don't think I could have listened to her tonight." Erin replied.
"Anytime kid, I will always be there for the Lindsay girls." Voight smiled.
"Yeah me too!" Jay chipped in.
Voight rolled his eyes in playful mockery and both Erin and myself began to laugh. However our fun was cut short as Halstead's brother Will returned.
"Ok come on Erin needs rest. She doesn't need you lot keeping her up all night. Come back in the morning after 11 to see her. I will take good care of her until then." He instructed.
Reluctantly we left the room and allowed Erin to get the rest she needed. Things finally seemed to be getting back to normal, but they didn't stay that way….
Until next time ;-)
