Jay's P.O.V.
It was a bad day for everyone, but it was especially bad for Kim. She was the one that had been held hostage. No one really knew what had happened. She snapped at Adam, and after a couple of tries he gave up. We had caught the guy when we found Kim. We had all gone home. Hailey and Adam had left to go somewhere. Antonio went to see his kids, and Kevin I think had a date. I don't even have an idea of what Voight does when we're not at work. Kim had just burst out of the precinct as soon as we were allowed to leave.
I was going to go home, but I couldn't get the look that was in Kim's eyes when I found her. She was in the basement, and when I got her out of the restraints she wouldn't let go of me. Kim was never like that. I had turned around, and went to my favorite pizzeria. I got a pepperoni pie, and made my way to Kim's. I wasn't going to let her be alone right now. Not when whatever happened to her made her so clingy, and unlike herself.
Once I got to her apartment I grabbed the pizza, and made my way upstairs. After I got to her door I didn't even hesitate because I couldn't waste any time, and I wasn't going to let her suffer alone.
"Who is it?" She was crying. You could hear it in her voice.
"Kim it's Jay. Can I come in?" She shuffled a little bit behind the door before opening it a crack. I could barely see her which was probably the point.
"Jay, why are you here? Is everything ok?" I have never been able to understand how she can so willingly put others before herself.
"No, you see I have a problem, and I brought pizza hoping to get some advice." Hopefully she will let me in.
"What do you need help with? Are you sure this can't wait until tomorrow?" She didn't want me to see her upset. I slightly nudge the door open, and I finally see her. Her eyes are bloodshot. She has scratches all over her, and her hair is a mess.
"No this can't wait until tomorrow because you are obviously upset, and I'm not letting you be alone." I really hope that she doesn't fight back. On a normal day she would most definitely give a fight, but today I think all of her fight was wiped away.
"You don't have t…" I didn't let her finish. I had already put the pizza box down, and had wrapped her in a hug. With that she broke. Tears started coming, and before long she was in hysterics. She had grabbed onto me with almost as much desperation as before. It was scary; seeing her like this. Kim was always so strong.
"Hey it's ok. Kim it'll be alright. I've got you." She just held onto me tighter than before which I thought was impossible. I begin to move us to the couch so that we're not standing in the middle of the doorway.
She ends up falling asleep in my arms. We stayed there all night. I didn't really get much sleep because the first time I began to close my eyes Kim started to have a nightmare. I was able to calm her down by running my hands through her hair without waking her up. From that point whenever she would even show a sign of a nightmare I would start to try and calm her. It was worth it; being able to keep the monsters away.
