Hailey stared at Jay's back as he stormed out of the District. Her heart was yelling go after him, but her feet were somehow pinned to the floor.

"What have I done?" she whispered as she crashed on her chair, burring her face in her hands.

What the hell got into her? How could she possibly utter all those nasty words to the one person she loved the most?

We hurt the ones we love, isn't that what they say? Well, that was beyond hurt and repair. Throughout their partnership, Jay had been nothing but supportive and caring. Surely, they had their ups and downs. Surely, he had used her as his punching bag a couple of times, but he always came back apologizing. This time though, her insults towards him were far more than just personal.

Her head was throbbing and her loud beating heart was causing her whole body to shake.

She raised her head and took a glimpse at his empty desk chair. For three years, that man had been her shoulder to cry on. Her friend. Her shrink. Her rock. He was the Olinski to her Voight. Actually, he as far more than that. One way or the other, she needed him in her life. She needed to fix her mistake.

Hailey took a deep breath and raised her shoulder. With a single move, she grabbed her jacket and run towards the exit. As soon as she exited the building, she took one quick look at her surroundings. No sign of Jay's car.

She hurried her way to her vehicle and drove back to her home. The upside of quarantine? No traffic. Within a few minutes, she was already parking outside her house. Once again, she peaked around her lonely street hoping to spot her partner's car. Nothing!

She quickly run to her house and yelled his name as she opened the door.

"Jay!"

There was no answer.

"Jay!" she yelled again and waited for a few second, desperately hoping to hear an answer. Only silence surrounded her home.

Hailey walked towards the living room and immediately noticed that his bag was missing. Panic started to consume her but soon, she remembered that he had moved his bag to her room.

She sprinted up the stairs calling his name for the third time.

"Jay!"

She frantically opened her bedroom door, only to find it empty. No bag, no Jay. It was like he was never there. The only thing betraying his presence, was the scent of his cologne still swinging in the air. He was gone. Just like that, he was gone.

Hot tears started streaming down her blue eyes as she crashed on her bed. Jay had even arranged her pillows and pink throw the way that she liked. She grabbed tightly the pillow that he had been sleeping on and took a long sniff. His scent was still on it.

She held on to it as hard as she could until she was practically covering her ears with it. As a kid, she used her pillow to block all the sounds from her childhood home. Now, she was using it to block the silence.

Jay had only been staying at her house for a week but he had soon become part of the house. Part of her every day life.

God, she already missed him. His subtle footsteps on the hardwood floor. His soft voice filling the air. His awkward singing while he was testing his limits in the kitchen. But most of all, she missed his strong arms around her.

She hadn't realized how much she wanted him, until his lips first touched hers. Until his hand roamed around her naked body. Whenever he is around, all her fears and insecurities were magically vanished.

She let out a deep sigh and lowered her pillow. Without hesitation she took her phone out of her pocket and called him for the tenth time, only to go straight to voice mail.

Damn it Jay, where are you? she muttered in frustration.

He wasn't at the district, he wasn't home and he surely wasn't at Molly's. Will was working double shifts so there was no way in hell he had gone to the hospital. So where had he gone?

As soon as darkness fell, she made one last attempt and drove to his house. Even though there was no sign of his car she dared to ring the bell. Once again, there was no answer.

There was nothing more she could do, other than leave a voice mail to his phone.

"Jay, I am sorry. I am really sorry. I didn't mean any the words I said. I am an asshole, I know. But now you are an asshole too because I can't find you, you are not answering your phone and I am getting really worried here, ok? Please, please call me as soon as you get this. "

The day was nearly over but Jay was still missing. Hailey drove back to her house and lay on her empty bed. She closed her eyes and soon drifted off smiling with Jay in her mind.

"Jay!" she woke up screaming.

Her breathing was heavy and drops of sweat were dripping down her forehead. It took her a minute to process reality but soon she remembered. It wasn't a nightmare. The cold sun was shining on Day 9 but Jay was not laying by her side.

She grabbed her phone from the nightstand fearing she had missed his call, but there was none.

She tried calling him yet again though without any response.

At this point, she was getting really worried. Jay was strong, but he didn't handle emotional disappointments well. What if he spent the night drinking and he fell asleep on a bench somewhere? What if he was in car accident? What if there was a hit and run? What if he was mugged? What if…. What if…..what if…. Her mind was going crazy.

She didn't want to, but she knew she had no choice but to drag Will into their little mess.

Without any second thoughts, she dialed his phone.

"Hey Hailey," his tired voice answered the line.

"Hey Will, I am sorry to disturb you, but have you heard from Jay in the past 24 hours?"

"No!" Will replied fonfused. "I thought he was staying with you."

"He was," Hailey paused for a minute. "We got into some sort of a fight, he left and now I can't reach him."

"Have you tried…"

"Yes," Hailey cut him off before he had a chance to finish his sentence. "I tried the District, his home, Molly's and a couple of other spots."

Will chuckled. "I was going to say, have you tried Rainbow Beach?"

"Rainbow beach? Why would Jay go to there?"

"Hailey, trust me. If you can't find him anywhere, chances are he is at Rainbow Beach."

"Ok," Hailey nodded quite skeptical. "Thanks for the help!"

Without so much as think about it, she got out of bed, put on the first pair of jeans she found in sight and drove to Rainbow Beach even though Jay had never mentioned that place.

The beach was long, the sun was now hiding behind the cloudy skies, but soon she spotted his distinct figure sitting on the sand.

For the first time in nearly 24 hours, she felt like she could finally breath. All her fears and dramatic scenarios had vanished.

She parked the car and hesitantly walked towards him, her feet digging into the sand with every step she made.

"Let me guess," Will told you I'd be here," he said once she was close enough, his eyes never leaving the horizon.

"Well, that's what happens when you go AWOL on me," she grinned in an attempt to sound sarcastic but funny.

"I needed some time to think," Jay sighed avoiding to look at her.

"If had picked up your damn phone, you would know that you don't have to think about anything," Hailey snapped frustrated, still standing a few feet away from him.

"I am sorry, ok? I was wrong and unfair towards you," her voice softened.

Jay turned his head and for the first time, his green eyes landed on her blue. Actually, there were more red that blue and quite swollen. A clear evidence that she had been crying for yours.

On her way to the beach, Hailey had been practicing her speech. All of the things she wanted to say to Jay. But now that she was standing in front of him, her lips seemed sealed tight. Her whole budy was numb and once again all her fears and doubts started manifesting in her mind.

No! This time she was strong. This time she was sure of herself. She knew what she wanted so she sat on her knees right next to him.

"I didn't plan on us getting together like this and it scared me. Look, I don't know how to be happy. Every time I am close enough, something happens and it is snitched away from me. I don't want to lose you too. I know we are not perfect, but I bet we will make a perfectly dysfunctionally functional pair. I am willing to take that risk with you. I am willing to follow you anywhere. Do you want that too?" she fought back her tears and anxiously waited for her partner's response.

Jay closed his eyes in relief and let out a deep breath. He reached his hands and cupped her face, pulling their foreheads together.

"I know what I want in life," he whispered in her lips. " I am holding it in my arms right now."

Hailey pulled back an inch and grinned. "Did you just quote PS I Love You?"

"You 're the one to blame for that, after all, you made me watch it," Jay smirked and roughly pulled her for a long deep kiss.

Within seconds, Hailey was sitting on his lap slowly rocking her hips over Jay's trousers. His left hand was squeezing her ass ash his right slid underneath her blouse, sensually brushed her breasts and landed on her neck, pulling her even closer.

This time, Hailey decided to be the dominant one. She pushed him on the sand until he was laying down and removed both their jackets. Still rocking her hips, she leaned forward and claimed his lips as their tongues fought over control. Soon, she started trailing kisses to his exposed neck, over his t-shirt and stopped once she reached his zipper.

She raised her eyes and looked at him with a wicked look he had never seen before. Jay's breathing was becoming fast in anticipation. He took a quick glimpse around, and once he was certain they were all alone, he nodded in approval.

Hailey undid his pants and Jay helped her get rid of hers. This was happening. They were having public sex at the beach and they didn't even care. Well, maybe they cared a little bit. You know, in case they got arrested and then they had to explain themselves to Voight.

It didn't take long for both of them to reach climax. Soon, Hailey had collapsed on top of Jay, heart pounding and completely out of breath.

"Well, that was a first one," Jay laughed.

"Public sex?" Hailey raised her head to face him.

"No, sex on the beach."

Hailey's eyes widened in shock. "You've had public sex before?"

"Come on, who hasn't? Don't tell me you 'd never…."

Hailey rolled over his body and put on her pants. "No, I am a traditional girl."

"Traditional girls don't do what you just did," Jay wickedly smiled as he zipped his pants.

"See what happens when I hang out with man sluts like you? I drive down the road of sins."

Jay stood up and pulled her in his lap, his lips only a breath away from hers. "If what we just did is a sin, I don't mind going to hell for it. Or repeating it again….and again…. and again…."

Once again, despite the cold weather the temperature rose dangerously. Not even the thunders seemed to scare them. But once it started to rain, they had no choice but to drive back home and go for the 2nd round of sins….and then the 3rd.
