Part one

Hailey's pov

I stand in my bedroom in front of the mirror that's leaning against on of the walls. I look at the reflection of myself and run a hand through my blond and slight wavy hair. I glance at the bed behind me and look at the other outfits that lays there and try to decide what I'm going to wear tonight. It's not often that I dress up like this, mostly cause I just walked around in scrubs most of the time and also because I didn't have a reason to dressed up most of the time. I sigh and decided that the red strapless and knee length dress that I'm wearing right now while be the outfit I wear tonight. I take a step back and turn around and get the rest of the outfits and put them back in the closet. I close the closet again and go over a fix the bed and then I take deep breath before I open the bedroom door.

My roommate Samantha that I meet at work, we both work as nurses at Chicago med and clicked the first time we meet.Samatha is sitting on the couch in the living room watch some tv show while drinking some water. Her red hair is in a massy bun and she's wearing a grey hoodie and black thighs. immediately looks my way and gets up from the couch and walks towards me with a big smile on her face. She stops in front of me and reaches out and give my hand a light squeeze.

-"You look amazing Hails" Samantha tells me looking eyes with me and I look down and nod.

-"Thanks Sam" I tell her looking up again giving her a small smile.

-"Tonight is going to go great Hails, I have a good feeling about it, maybe he is going to be the one" Samantha tells me smiling.

-"Yeah,You have said that the last time and that didn't exactly turn out great..., this is the last blind date set up by you that I'm going on" I tell her strictly and she sighs and nod.

-"Okay that's fair, I just want to see you happy Hails" Samantha tells me and I nod and give her a grateful smile.

-"I know that Sam and I appreciate it a lot and everything you do for me but no more blind dates after this one" I say smiling at her and she nods and pulls me into her arms and rubs my back.

-"Well now go and enjoy the date and hopefully he's the one for you and remember that you can call me if it turns bad okay?!" Samantha says pulling away from me slightly.

-"I thought that Jake was coming over tonight?" I ask her, Jake is her boyfriend of almost a year.

-"Yeah he is but if you need me you can always call me? You know that!" Samantha tells me and I look her in the eyes and smile slightly.

-"Of course Sam, well I'm going to go now" I tell her and she nods and let's me go completely.

I go to the hall and grab on of my leather jackets and give Samantha a small hug and then I leave our apartment. I decided to take the stairs down, I walk down the four levels and go outside. I look around street before I go to the other side of the road and get in to my car. I take a deep breath and check so I have everything I need with me and then I start the car. I pull out of my parking spot and start to drive towards the restaurant where I'm meeting my blind date. I drive for around twenty minutes before I reach the restaurant where Samatha has booked a table for our date. I run a hand through my hair and close my eyes briefly and take a couple of deep breaths in a attempt to calm my nerves.

I get out of the car and close the car door behind me and lock the car and then I look around. I parked the car a couple of blocks away from the restaurant so I walk there and then I reach the entrance of the restaurant. I walk inside the restaurant and look around the restaurant and see some cookies who are having a date and some families and some friends that eating together. The restaurant has a cozy feeling and the environment is very beautiful and quite romantic. I see a waitress walking towards and I take a deep breath and give her a small smile.

-"Do you have a reservation for a table?" The waitress asks me.

-"Yeah it should be under Samatha James" I tell the waitress and she gives me a small smile.

-"Okay, I will show you to your table" I nod and follow her to a table that's for two and I sit down and she gives me a menu.

-"You want anything while you wait for your company?" The waitress asks me.

-"No, thank you" I tell her and she nods and leave me alone.

I take out my phone of my bag and check the time and sigh as I realize that my date is late. I go through my contacts until I reach Samatha's contact information. I hesitate and shake my head and lock my phone instead of calling her. I didn't want to bother her when I know she was with Jake and it's not often they get time alone. I wave a waitress and order a glass of wine and then I look at the time on my phone again and I realize that the guy probably isn't showing up.

Then I see a guy walking towards my table and I smile and fix my hair slightly before I get up and greet him. He introduce himself and his name is Lucas. He sits down at the table and then we order some food. The problem is though that Lucas just keeps telling my all about him and how great his is and how he is the perfect guy not letting my talk at all. I feel like the only thing I have done this whole date is nod and listened to him. Finally we are both finished with our food and Lucas asks for the bill and then a pays and stands up and we walk out together.

-"I had a great time Hailey" Lucas tells me smiling.

-"Yeah...I don't think this is going to go somewhere, all you did the whole time was talking about yourself" I tell him honestly and he looks stunned at me.

-"What!? I didn't do that" Lucas tells me clearly offended.

-"Yeah you did, thanks for tonight" I tell him and he sighs and we part ways.

I sigh and start to walk towards the street where I parked the car earlier. I walk slowly and make sure to be aware of my surroundings. Suddenly a couple of guys comes out of one of the allys nearby and they are talking to each other and it looks like they arguing. I find myself picking up my pace so I can get away from the situation. The guys are now even louder as they start to yell at each other and suddenly one of them pulls out a gun and I panic as I hear the shoots going off. I freeze for a second but then I duck down behind one of the cars and close my eyes and pray that I will make it out of this alive. Then I hear a car drive away really fast and I get up and stand up again and look around and see that one of the guys is lying on the ground bleeding.

I dig out my phone of my bag and immediately dial 9-1-1 and I rush to the guy'a side so I can help him. The guy is gasping for air and bleeding a lot from the stomach and leg. I immediately apply pressure to his wound and keep talking to the operator telling the person everything they needed to know. After a couple of minutes I hear the sirens and then I see the ambulance and another car pull up, a police car I assume. The paramedics take over taking care of the guy that got shoot and they also give me something so I can get clean. They put the guy in the ambulance and I see them talking to one of the cops and I look around the street finally realizing what just happened. I take a couple of shaking breaths and close me eyes as I feel myself calming down slightly. Suddenly I hear somebody clearing their throat and I open my eyes and look up at the guy and are meet with a pair of really beautiful green eyes. The second thing I realize is that he is very good looking and tall. As his eyes meet mine I feel completely safe and I feel myself smiling at him.

-"I'm detective Halstead" The guy tells me and I nod.
