Jamie laid in his bed, his blue eyes staring up at his ceiling. He was wide awake and he knew that he would be for a while. He couldn't stop thinking about Eddie and her well-being, what she was doing...if she was hurting. She was his partner and he just wanted to make her feel better - to help her get through this thing.

He hated that guy - Jake what's his name - for what he did to Eddie. Hated him. It took everything in him to stop Eddie from beating him up. The only thing that made him follow her and stop her was because of his care for her and her well-being. All he wanted was for her to be okay.

And now - after what had happened to her - she wasn't okay and she wouldn't be for a while. He knew that she would never truly be okay again. This was a part of her now, it was a part of her past. Even though it was in her past, it still felt like it was in her present and future. It felt like it would always be there somewhere. He knew it would dull over time, but time always did the exact opposite of what you needed it to.

Jamie groaned as he rolled over in his bed, angrily trying to get in a comfortable sleeping position. He had to meet Eddie 'bright and early' tomorrow and he wanted to be his usual Jamie self instead of some grumpy version of him.

Just as he closed his blue eyes for the billionth time that night, he heard his phone vibrating loudly on his bedside table. His eyes shot open as he sat up abruptly and reached for his phone.

As his eyes struggled to adjust to the new light of the cell phone, he eventually saw that the caller I.D. read 'Eddie J.'

Quickly answering the call, he held the phone up to his ear and let out a hurried and worried question. "Eddie?" He grew even more concerned than he already was when he heard sobbing on the other end of the line. "Eddie?" He tried again but there was still no response - just muffled crying sounds. "Eddie, honey, talk to me."

"I just...I - I'm not okay, Jamie.." Eddie spoke quietly in an effort to keep her voice from breaking anymore than it already was.

"Do you want me to come over?" Jamie asked, already slinging his legs to the side his bed and looking for a shirt.

"Uhm...would you?" Eddie asked, a bit unsure about everything that was happening.

"I'll be there in a few." Jamie said before hanging up and darting out of his room.

"Eddie?" Jamie's voice called as he slowly walked into her apartment. He looked around the apartment, trying to find her.

He finally did.

She was sitting on the floor by a coffee table with a broken lamp on it. She was staring at the floor absent-mindedly, her face dried with previously shed tears.

"Eddie?" Jamie asked, his voice a bit softer this time as he inched towards her.

She blinked slowly, her head lifting up and her glistening blue eyes looking up at him.

"Oh, Eddie.." He whispered as his eyes graced over her.

Her bottom lip trembled as she pulled her legs up to her chest and rested her head on her knees. When Jamie heard crying sounds, he quickly made his way over to her.

"Eddie?" Jamie asked quietly as he placed a comforting hand on her shoulder. He didn't know why else to say or what else to do.

When she looked up at him, her blue eyes sad and hurting, he knew exactly what to do. He wrapped his strong arms around her small body and pulled her into him.

If she had been crying earlier, she was really crying now. Violent sobs escaped her body as he just pulled her closer - rubbing and patting her back as he told her it was okay.

After a while, she stopped crying. "I'm sorry." She breathed heavily, her face still buried into his chest.

"Don't be." He just shook his head and held her. "It's okay."

She nodded and sniffled before cuddling into him.

They stayed like that - drifting in and out of sleep - until it was bright and early.

So, whad you guys think? Hope you enjoyed it and there should be another chapter. I don't know when, but hopefully soon ;)
