Jordan- 14

A few months have passed since Jordan's relationship with Michael and things were getting worse by the minutes. The abuse and fighting between the teens were getting a lot worse. By this point Jordan completely distanced herself from everyone in her life, nobody was able to get through to her not even Hank.

After every beating from Michael instead of going to 51 she went to Med, at least that way none of them could tell her father.

Jordan had just gotten out of school and was walking to Med, she'd look around to see if Michael would pop out like he normally did. She sniffed to hide back the tears, the teen had been completely fed up with her boyfriend but he wouldn't end the relationship. She didn't know what to do.

As she looked around she felt someone shove her onto the ground and it was no other than Michael. This time he was drunker than anything and when he was like this the beatings we're far worse.

"Michael you're drunk please don't". Jordan pleaded.

"Where the hell do you think you're going?" Michael said slurring his words.

"I have to go home, my dad's waiting for me".

"I bet you're off screwing other guys!"

He then started kicking her again, once he was finished he broke his liquor bottle and took one of the shard and started to cut her arm, leg, stomach and back area. Jordan felt the tears burn heavily in her eyes but refused to let them fall.

"Who else are you with?!"

"No one! I swear!" She then had to force this part out. "I love you and only you, no one else".

"Nobody likes you because you're a narc. You're mother left you because she couldn't stand you're worthless pathetic ass that's why you're father has to put up with you. Face it Jo nobody likes you and nobody will ever love you".

Jordan still never let the tears fall from her eyes, a moment later she felt a hard kick hit her midsection once again. Michael had kicked her a few more times after he was finished he spit on her.

"I ever find out you cheated on me you're done".

The teen boy picked up a broken shard and cut her two more times before dropping it and leaving. After he left the tears that were in Jordan's eyes eventually fell, taking her time to get up she began her walk to Med.

Will was outside on a quick coffee break as he was sipping his coffee, the styrofoam cup fell from his hand when he saw Jordan slowly coming up. The older Halstead ran over to her.

"Jo, honey what happened". Will asked urgently, scanning her over.

"I just need you to patch me up". Jordan answered weakly and sadly.

"What happened".

"Can you patch me up or not?"

"Let's go".

Will guided the teen inside and to a room, closing the curtain he put a pair of gloves on and began examining her. Jordan took her jacket off but stuck to the parts where the blood was.

"Jo what happened".

"I can't tell you".

"Did someone do this to you?"

"Will please don't make me say".

"Hey whatever is going on I just wanna help".

"If I tell you please don't tell anyone, not even my dad".

"That depends on what you tell me".

"You know my boyfriend Michael?"

Will had then looked at the teen in sadness, anger and disbelief. "Jo don't tell me".

"He did this and a lot more. Will you can't tell".

"I have to".

"No you don't".

"Jo this is a serious police matter I need to call them. You're a victim of domestic violence".

"I'm not a victim of anything, don't use that word with me. I'm not a victim and I never will be". She then paused for a moment. "Doctor patient confidentiality, by law you can't tell anyone not without my consent and I refuse to give consent. My dad can't know and he won't know".

The older Halstead knew the teen was right, he couldn't tell anyone. As he examined her he saw the bloody fresh scars on her body.

"Jo what did he do?"

"Michael was drunk and he followed me, he jumped me started kicking me. Accused me of cheating on him then he broke this bottle and cut me, kicked me some more. It's been going on for a few months".

"Does anybody know?"

"Besides you only Gabby, Brett, and Casey know. Everyone they suspect but they can't know".

"Sweetheart why don't you say something?"

"He said if I did he'd kill me then go after my family, I can't risk their lives because of me. I don't know what to do Will, normally I'd go to my dad but I can't it would ruin everything".

"What are you talking about?"

"Michael's stepdad is running for Mayor you know who my dad is, that alone is publicity. Think about it the Mayor's kid is dating the daughter of the Police Sergeant who runs Intelligence if it ever got out what Michael's doing it would ruin everything. His reputation, mine, his stepdad's, my dad's, we'd all be ruined". Jordan voice kept breaking, her bottom lip wobbling. "I don't know what to do Will".

"Want me to get someone for you?"

"Please".

"I can call Erin".

"No! Don't call any of them or anyone from 51, can you get someone here".

"I'll be right back, you rest".

The older Halstead left closing the curtain, he was sickened and furious. Who the hell did this Michael kid think he is? What gave him the right to put his hand on Jordan? Normally Will wasn't a violent person at that moment he'd want to go a few rounds with Michael.

He paged for Natalie and he waited, a scowl planted firmly on his face. Will was ready to grab his phone and call his brother or someone from the team and if he did he'd be breaking doctor patient confidentiality, the law, and Jordan's trust. He was stuck in a bind.

Maggie was approaching her desk when she seen him. "Hey what's up?"

"Jo's here again. She told me her boyfriend has been abusing her". His voice was hard.

"No".

"I can't call or tell anyone because she invoked doctor patient confidentiality, I don't know what to do not without breaking it. If I told anyone not only would I be breaking that, I'd be breaking the law and her trust. I've known Jo since she was 11 she was always a sweet kid never hurt a fly to see her like this, I wanna kick that kid's ass".

"Why won't she say something?"

"The kid's stepfather is running for Mayor and Voight runs Intelligence, she feels if she says anything all their reputations will be ruined. And he threatened that he'd kill her and her family".

"Does anyone else know?"

"Besides us only Gabby, Brett, and Casey know, everyone suspects something".

Before Maggie could say something Natalie approached the two and noticed the looks on their faces which got her concerned.

"What's going on?" Natalie asked.

"Jordan's back again, she told me what's been going on". Will replied.

"Where is she?"

"Follow me".

The two headed over to the trauma room where the teen was, when they were close by they heard sobbing Will opened the curtain to see Jordan crying. When Natalie seen the teen beaten up and bloody she gasped, as fast as she could she rushed over.

"Sweetheart what happened". Natalie said, her voice was gentle.

Jordan bit her wobbling lip as tears continued to stream down her face, she looked over to Will silently asking for permission. Will closed the curtain and looked back at the teen.

"Go ahead Jo, you're safe now". Will told her.

"My boyfriend, Michael did this. It's been going on a few months now. I don't know what happened, I don't know what I did for him to do this". Jordan confessed.

"You didn't do anything for him to do this".

"He said he was sorry the first time and the second then he stopped, said it was you're fault". Natalie said.

"How'd you know?"

"I seen this kind of stuff a few times".

"The first time I talked to a boy from the basketball team and Michael saw he thought I was cheating on him, after he beat me up he said he was sorry. He would never do it again I believed him. Michael never stopped, he told me if I ever told anyone he'd kill me and go after my family I'm not risking their lives because of me".

"Jo this is a serious police matter, we want to help you. Let us call you're father".

"No you can't, if my dad ever found out what Michael's doing he will kill him. I lost my dad once to jail I'm not losing him again. You can't tell anyone not without my consent".

"Will can I see you outside for a second". Natalie says to her friend.

"Yeah". He looked to the teen. "We'll be right outside Jo".

Jordan nodded and closed her eyes for a minute, the two doctors left once they were far enough away Natalie turned to face her colleague.

"Tell me you called Hank or someone". Natalie spoke.

"I can't, she invoked doctor patient confidentiality. There's nothing we can do if we tell someone, anyone, we'd be breaking the law". Will replied.

"Will that boy is beating the hell out of her, if we don't say something the next time we see her she could be in a body bag".

"Not only would we break the law we'd break her trust".

"I'd rather have trust broken then seeing her like this, at least we know we did the right thing. Call your brother don't confirm the abuse just say you suspect something, maybe that way she'll tell".

"Natalie it's not that simple, this kid has her wrapped around his finger tight and I don't know if we can break it".

"What's so special about this boy?"

"His stepfather is running for Mayor, Voight runs Intelligence, if it got out that the kid of the Mayor was abusing a Police Sergeant's daughter do you know what that would do to all of them?"

"That's what it is? Their reputation might be ruined. I wanna kill this kid".

"That's not all".

"What do you mean?"

"Michael told her if she told anyone about the abuse he'd kill her and go after her family".

"Either you call Jay or I will. I'm not going to stand by and watch this happen if she hates us then let her hate us, I'd rather be hated and not trusted then watch this".

Will knew she had a point, he'd rather have Jordan pissed off and hate him completely then to just stand by and watch this happen.

"Don't confirm the abuse let's see if she'll tell on her own".

"You realize if I make this call, we'd be breaking a lot of rules, the law and her trust".

"It's not like we haven't done it before. Like I said either you make the call or I will".

Pulling out his phone he called his brother. "Hey, how fast can you get down here?"

After the call Will went back to Jordan, he finished patching her up and stitching her scars. He gave her some morphine for the pain and let he rest. As he looked at the teen he hoped that one day she'll forgive him for what he did.

Jay arrived after getting the call from his brother, he found Natalie and went over to her.

"Hey you seen Will? His call sounded urgent". Jay said.

"It is". Natalie answered.

"What's going on".

"Jordan came in today all beat up and bloody, were not sure but we think her boyfriend beat her up".

"What?! Why didn't she say anything?"

"It's hard to get the full story out of her".

"Where is she?"

"Follow me".

Will had just left the trauma room where the teen was when he saw his brother with Natalie. "Hey man".

"What the hell happened". Jay asked his brother.

"I was outside when I saw Jo coming up, she could barely stand or walk. She had blood all over her. I couldn't make out what she said".

"Nat said you guys think Michael did this to her".

"We think so, were not sure maybe you can get her to open up".

"Does she know?"

"No".

"Be prepared for yelling and screaming".

Jay headed to the room where his surrogate sister was he opened the curtain, the teen heard something she looked to see Jay there. Her eyes went wide in shock. Why was he there? Who called him?

"What are you doing here?" Jordan asked.

"I'm here to find out what happened to you". Jay answered.

"What did they tell you?"

"They think you're boyfriend did it. Did Michael do this?"

This was her chance to finally come clean about everything but she still wasn't taking the chance something could happen to her family. Instead of answering she pulled the IV out of her arm and swung her legs over the bed.

"They had no right to call you".

"Jordan, you came in beat to hell and covered in blood. They had every right to call one of us, why didn't you call your dad? He's probably worried sick about you".

"It was a mistake coming here and it was mistake trusting them, I shouldn't have come here".

"Jo talk to me I can help you".

"I didn't ask for help! Don't you all get it? If I wanted help I'd ask for it. Michael didn't do this ok, I got jumped".

"Did you get into a fight with Michael?"

"NO! Michael didn't do it! I got jumped it happens ok. Screw this I don't have to explain myself to you or anyone else I'm out of here".

The teen left the room she saw Will and Natalie standing close by, she glared at them.

"Some friends you are, you had no right to call him and tell him anything". Jordan spat.

"Jo we just wanted to help". Will says.

"We don't wanna see you hurt like this". Natalie spoke.

"You won't see me again, I thought I could trust you but turns out I can't trust anyone anymore".

After that the teen left she got halfway down the block when Jay started to catch up to her.

"Jordan! Jordan!" Jay called.

"What? What could you possibly want now?!" Jordan yelled.

"Look I know you're upset right now but-" He was cut off by the teen.

"Upset? I'm far from upset! I'm pissed! Will had no right calling you or any of you. Michael didn't do this to me ok, I was jumped it happens, I got into a few fight it happens. I can't seem to trust anyone in my life right now".

"Jo I can't help you if you don't talk to me. Tell me what I can do to help you".

Jordan chuckled dryly as she turned to look at the Detective. "Wanna know what you can do to help me? Fine. I'll tell you, I want you and everyone else to leave me the hell alone. Stay out of my business and stay the hell out of my life. It's no longer your job to look out for me, any of you. The only people I need are my family clearly that's not you guys. When I come to the District don't any of you say a damn word to me ever again, I don't need any of you anymore. When I'm there, I'll only talk to Trudy, Alvin, and my dad the rest of you can go to hell for all I care. Just leave me alone you all don't need to look out for me, protect me, any of it. Don't talk to me, don't ask about me. I'm cutting all of you out I suggest you all do the same".

"Jo-" He tried to say but once again cut off.

"Are you deaf?! Leave me the hell alone!"

Jordan stormed off going home leaving Jay there in utter and complete shock. This wasn't the Jordan he knew. No the girl he knew was sweet, kind, and caring, this new version of her was secretive, angry, pissed, and they didn't know why. He felt something wet going down his cheek the Detective wiped the tear away he saw that Jordan had disappeared into the crowd.

Jordan may have cut them off but he wasn't about to cut her off no matter what she said to him. They were going to get to the bottom of it if it was the last thing he does.

As she walked home Jordan kept her guard up, she'd look around waiting as if Michael was once again gonna pop up luckily he didn't. She finally arrived home, Hank was on the couch watching tv with a beer in his hand when he heard the front door open and he saw his daughter.

Hank rushed over when he saw her injured. "Sweetheart what happened".

"I got jumped after I didn't see who did it".

"Do you know how many there was?"

"No".

"Come here sweetie".

The father daughter duo went over to the couch and sat down, Jordan was completely terrified. Did he know the truth? Had somebody said something to him?

"Jo, whatever is going on you can tell me I'm here to help you so is everyone else. You've been coming home and to the District all beat up. What's going on honey".

"Nothing dad, I promise. It's just a few fights at school, I got jumped today. Nothing is going on".

"Who's beating you up at school?"

"Just kids at school".

"How are things with Michael?"

Jordan froze for a moment, her body tensed up. Why was he asking this? Did he know?

"We're fine, he's a great guy".

" You'll tell me if he's doing something right".

"Of course, you'd be the first person I tell".

"I don't like this change Jo, if something's wrong you can tell me".

"Nothing's wrong dad. Everything's fine I promise".

"I'm just worried that's all".

Jordan hugged her father and buried her face into his shoulder, at that moment she was safe. She was safe from the world. From Michael. At that moment it was as if nothing or no one could ever hurt her.

Hank didn't like this change that his daughter was going through, she was all secretive, angry, jumpy, something was going on. Someone was beating her up all he needed was a name and once he got the name that person would be going on a ride and not coming back. He was going to get his little girl back one way or another.
