Hailey's pov
-"Hailey Upton" I tell him and he nods and gives me a small smile.
-"I understand this most be very traumatic for you Hailey, but it would be great we can get you statement" Detective Halstead says giving me a small smile.
-"Of course" I tell him and he nods.
-"Well it's late now and you have just experienced something very traumatic so if you just give me you information then you can get a night rest and you can come in tomorrow and give us a statement" Detective Halstead says and I smile at him grateful that I can do it in the morning.
-"That sounds great" I tell him and he smiles and dugs out a card of one of his pockets and then he hands me the car and his fingers brush against me. I feel butterflies raise in my stomach and I feel myself blushing slightly.
-"Halstead!" Somebody tells behinds us and interrupting our moment and he turns around and holds a finger up towards the women that yelled out his last name.
-"I have to go, just come in early tomorrow and ask for me" He tells me and I smile and nod.
-"Okay" I tell him and he turns around and leave with the woman. I look after them until I can't see their car again. Then I look down at the card again and I find myself smiling. The card says that his name is Jay Halstead and he works in a unit called intelligence.
Then my phone stars to ring and I look down and see that Samantha is calling me.
~phone conversation~
-"Hailey? Is everything okay? Where are you?Samantha asks before I can even utter a word.
-"Umm... " I hesitate and look around the now very empty street.
-"Hails?!!, what's going on?!!" Samantha asks sounding worried and sigh and I feel myself start to tear up.
-"The date was a catastrophe and while I was walking towards my car... um.. a couple of guys... started yelling at each other... and um... then one of them... pulled out a gun and started shooting" I tell her and I feel a couple of tears slip down my cheeks.
-"Are you okay? Are you hurt? Do you need me to come to the hospital?" Samantha asks now sounding even more worried and alarmed.
-"I'm fine Sam, I wasn't hit..." I tell her as the tears falls down and I let out a sob.
-"Hails, You don't sound okay, where are you? I can get Jake to drop me off so I can drive you home" Samantha says and I tell her where I am and she tells me that she is coming soon.
~end of phone conversation~
I find a bench and sit down and wrap my arms around myself and take deep breaths trying to calm down. I sit there for what feels like forever but it's was probably just around fifteen minutes before I feel a arm wrap around me and I look up and meet Samantha's blue eyes and I break down in her arms. She pulls me close and rubs my back and whispering in my ear that is going to be okay and the she loved me. She then gets me to move and gets me into my car and she starts to drive us home. We made it home and she stayed with me until I was in my bed and had closed my eyes.
-the next day-
I groan as the sun light streams in my room and wakes me up. I open my eyes and sigh as I remember what happened yesterday. I let out a breath and look a the card that Jay gave me yesterday that I placed on the nightstand yesterday. I remember the handsome detective that was able to make me feel safe with just one glance and I smile. Then I get out of my bed and get dressed in a red T-shirt and black jeans and I brush through my hair. After that I get out of room and Samantha looks up from the table where she is eating breakfast. She gets up and pulls me into a hug and then she pulls away and gives me a small smile.
-"How are you?" Samatha asks me as she sits down again and I go a grab a mug and get some coffee.
-"Better then yesterday" I tell her and she smiles and nod. I grad a bowl and get some yogurt and cereal.
-"That's good, you want to talk about it?" Samantha asks and I sigh and shake my head.
-"Not really" I tell her honestly as I star to eat my breakfast.
-"Alright, you know you can tell me anything right?" Samantha asks and I nod and give her a small smile.
-"Of course Sam" I tell her and she nods and smiles.
-"You going to the police station after this before you go to work?" She asks drinking her coffee.
-"Yeah, I don't start until after lunch so.." I tell her and Samantha nods and we continue to eat breakfast and talk until she has to go to work.
I stay in the apartment for a while after that before I decided that I should go and give my statement to the police. I go into my bedroom and grab the car that Jay gave me yesterday. Then I grab a jacket and get going towards the station. I once again take the stairs down the four levels and then I get into my car. I sit in the car and take a deep breath before I start up the engine and start to drive towards the police station. I drive for about fifteen minutes until I reach the police station. I look at the big building with police officers walking in and out occasionally and I take a couple of deep breaths and close my eyes briefly and then I open them and get out of the car.
I walk towards the entrance and a police officer holds a door open so I can get in and I thank the officer and get inside the building. Behind a desk sits a woman that looks like she is about around fifty or maybe older years old and she's talking with on the phone with somebody so she is not looking directly at me. I walk towards the desk and stand there until she notice me and ends the phone call. She turns around and I read her name tag and it's says Sargent Platt and I look up and meet her eyes and she looks at me and gives me a tight smile.
-"How can I help you?" Sargent Platt asks me.
-"I'm here to give a statement to Detective Halstead" I tell her and she looks a bit surprised at me and then she nods.
-"Alright, I calm him down, you can sit over there" Sargent Platt tells me gesturing to a bench behind me and I nod and give her a small grateful smile.
I sit down on the bench as I watch Sargent Platt call Jay and I clasp my hands together and look around the room trying to distract myself from the situation.
-"Hailey?"Someone says and I look up and try to hide my disappointment when it's not Jay that's calling my name. Instead a women probably around my age stand in front me. She has brown mid long hair and brown kind eyes and she give me a soft smile.
-"I'm Kim, I was with Jay at the scene yesterday" Kim tells me and I nod now recognizing her.
-"Jay is out and meeting up with a CI but he should be back soon, I just thought I could show you to a room with a lot less people" Kim says answering my unsaid question.
-"Okay that sounds great" I tell her and she smiles and gestures for me to follow her.
I follow her up the stairs, Kim scans her hand on a scanner and a buzz noice sounds and she opens the gate and let's me go first. The gate closes behind me and I follow her up the stairs, we get up the stairs and into a office. Everyone who is in the office looks our way and especially me. I look down feeling a bit insecure and not that comfortable. Kim nudges me and gives me small smile as I look up at her and she gestures me to follow her again and send her colleges a glare. I follow her into what looks like a break room and I sit down on one of the chairs and look around the room.
-"Do you want anything?" Kim asks me as she gestures at the coffee machine and a fridge.
-"Some water would be nice" I tell her and she nods and grabs a glass and fills it up with water before she hands me the glass.
-"Thank you" I tell her softly as I take a sip of the water.
"Your welcome" She tells me and then there is a knock on the door and I feel a smile creep on my face when I look up and see Jay. He still looks handsome even more then I remember and just seeing him calms me down and makes me feel safe.
Kim sends me a smile before she opens the door and let's Jay inside and he gives her a nods before he closes the door behind him again and sits down on the chair on the other side of the table. Now that I'm sitting directly across him and in more light then yesterday. I can see all his features closer up and more detailed and he is really good locking. I glance down quickly at his hands and notice that he doesn't wear a ring and that makes me smile a bit even though he could still be taken.
-"So Hailey tell me what happened yesterday" Jay says and I take a deep breath and look at him.
I feel myself start to get emotional as I think back on yesterday's events and then I feel a hand squeezing mine and I look up and see that Jay hand is on mine and he's looking at me looking concerned. His thumbs rubs small circles against the back of my hand.
