Part two
Hailey´s pov
- ´´Hailey, Jay´s been shot´´
As she says those words, I feel my whole world fall apart. The tears start to fall down my face and I grip on to my phone and stare at the wall in front of me. I can´t believe it, no I must have heard Kim wrong. Jay was probably fine, at least that´s what I try to tell myself. But I know deep inside that I heard her right and that Jay has been shot and I let out a sob and the tears continue to fall.
-´´How bad is it? `` I ask into the phone. I hear Kim sigh on the other side and I immediately know it´s bad and I cry even harder.
-´´It´s bad Hailey´´ Kim admits on the other side and I let out a couple of sobs and cry even more than before, I don´t think I have ever cried more in my whole life. I couldn´t bear the thought of losing him forever especially now that I am pregnant with his child. That thought makes me let out another sob. What was I supposed to do without him, I think to myself as I look down at my pregnant and think about a possible future without him? That makes my sob yet again and I try to not think about it again.
-´´Hailey´´ Kim says into the phone getting my attention once again and breaking my train of thought.
-´´Yeah,´´ I mumble into the phone while I take some deep breaths and try to calm myself down.
-´´I am going to come and pick you up and drive us to the hospital´´ Kim says into the phone.
-´´Alright, thank you Kim´´ I tell her as I wipe away my tears.
She tells me that she is going to be here in about fifteen minutes, I sit in the couch and try to calm down, a couple of tears still escapes my eyes. I take a couple of deep breaths and run a hand through my hair and then I get up from the couch and go to the bathroom. I wash my face with water and look in the mirror and I meet with the sight of a broken woman. I am red around my eyes and my eyes reflect sadness. After that, I go to the bedroom and grab a bag so I can pack myself and Jay some clothes because I will probably be there overnight and well Jay is going to need it when he is discharged. Then there is a knock on the door, and I grab the bag and bring it with me and then I go out to the hallway. I open the door and Kim gives me a slight smile as she sees me, I give her a half-smile and then I grab a jacket and leave the apartment behind me. I follow Kim down the hallway and then out the apartment complex and we cross the street and into a car. Kim starts the engine and she starts to drive to the hospital where Jay is.
-´´What happened? ´´ I ask her looking her way and she sighs and keeps her eyes on the road as she drives.
-´´We were in this building to search it for an offender, Jay went down a hallway first and he offender came out of nowhere and shot him two times, once in his vest and once in the neck, and then I managed to shot him and arrest him´´. Kim tells me and I let out a sob as I realize how bad it is, being shot in the neck is not great, Jay could end up with nerve damage or worse he could die.
Kim continues to drive, and we are both quite after that. Finally, we are at med and I take a couple of deep breaths when I realize I will probably run into a lot of colleges since I work here. I sigh and get out of the car and watch as Kim locks the car with her car keys and then I follow her towards the emergency department doors. We walk through the door and get in the waiting room and I immediately spot the rest of Jay´s collages and Jay´s brother Will. Will notice me first and gets up from his chair and opens his arms for me and I let myself be wrapped in his arms. He sighs and rubs my back and I start to cry into his chest.
-´´It´s okay Hailey…´´ He says as he tries his best to comfort me but the only thing that would calm me down was being in Jay´s arms but he was fighting for his life somewhere in this hospital.
-´´How is he? ´´ I ask Will knowing he will probably know more then Burgess did when she called me.
-´´Hailey, let´s sit down´´ Will says gesturing towards the seats beside Jay´s colleges and I know it´s bad but I complain and sit down on a chair and he sits next to me and sighs and meets my gaze.
-´´He is in pretty bad shape, the bullet that hit his vest cost him a broken rib and a pretty bad bruise and the bullet that hit his neck, we don´t know the damage yet but he lost a lot of blood and he is in the operating room right now´´ Will tells me honestly and I nod and wipe away the tears and look at the team and they all look sad too. I sigh and feel the tears continuing to fall.
We all sit there for a while and I try to think positive thoughts and try to not think about all the what if. I feel like I have been sitting in this waiting room forever but at the same time it feels like I got here just a minute ago because nothing has changed. Will has been trying his best to comfort me and he tries to get me to eat and drink something, but I am not hungry. I eat anyways because I know it is good for the baby. Finally, a doctor appears, and he stops in front of us and we all stand up and look at him. He looks up from his paperwork and I can´t read his expression and then he opens his mouth to tells us the news that could change everything.
