Adam walked through the hallway and thought about what Kim had all told him Saturday, he felt so bad because she felt ugly and he didn't want her to feel bad, because she wasn't ugly. The scars weren't pretty, but they didn't bother him and didn't think they made her any uglier.
Suddenly he saw Roman walking there and angry he walked towards Roman and before he could walk away, he grabbed the vest and made him stop.
''Listen buddy. Kim told me she wants to talk with you and that you keep refusing her. You owe it to her to talk to her. You should have had her back but you didn't.''
''Listen, buddy. I will talk to her when I am ready to talk to her.''
''She got shot, you didn't!'' Adam said angry. ''She is going to be scarred for the rest of her life. You did this, you were her partner, you should have had her back.''
''I was wrong. I admitted that before.''
''Man yourself up and talk to Kim, tell her that you were wrong. You might have told Voight but you did not tell Kim herself and she is the person you should tell you were wrong.'' He said and suddenly he felt Antonio pulling him away. Adam tried to get free from his grip but Antonio dragged him to an interrogation room like he had done with Kim before.
''What was what?''
''I am so angry with that guy. Not just because he didn't have Kim's back but he is the one that should at least apologize but instead he just keeps ignoring her. She is not okay Antonio and the person that should really care about her, her partner, is just not talking to her.'' Adam said angry.
''I get it, but yelling at him in the corridor is not a good fix.'' Antonio said. ''How is Kim not okay, is there something I can do to help you and Kim? She is my partner now and I won't let her down.''
''I know you won't let her down…but what is bothering her…she should tell you when she is ready for it. It is not to me to tell you that. As long as she does her job, at least.''
''She is doing great. I won't ask, but if you need anything, you know you can always come to me.'' Antonio said and he got up, slowly walking back to the office. Adam got up as well, let out a deep sigh and leaned against the table just a few more minutes before walking back to the office. He knew that he had to make everything right for Kim, but he didn't know how yet. He would have to figure it out, hoping it would be all right.
They had to get through this, their love had to be stronger than those stupid scars.
Kim was writing in the report, moving her hair behind his ear.
''There is something on your face.'' Halstead said and she frowned at him.
''No shit, Sherlock. Those are scars.'' She said almost angry.
''Oh no, I mean…there is ink on your face.'' He said and she looked down at her hands. They were full of ink and only now she saw that the pen was broken and she got up.
''Sorry.'' She said to Halstead. He just nodded and she walked to the bathroom to clean her hands and face.
Burgess was washing her hands in the sink, angry and she looked at the markings in her face and neck again. Adam knew what was wrong now, but that only made her more angry.
Kim was looking in the mirror, a tear streaming down her cheek again as she looked at the scars again and suddenly she felt two hands on her shoulders.
''Why are you crying?'' She heard concerned and looking, she saw it was Platt and she wiped the tears away, feeling stupid for crying again.
''it is nothing.''
''There is something, otherwise you wouldn't be crying.'' Platt said, looking at the girl, concerned. Even though she always had been teasing the girl, she did care about Burgess. Probably because she saw herself in in the girl, because they both wanted to be a police officer so bad and had pride in their job.
''I just feel so ugly.'' Kim whispered then, looking down to the ground.
''Don't you dare to ever say that again, young lady!'' Platt said then and she laid her hand under Burgess chin, lifted up her head and looked her right in the eyes.
''I wish that I was as beautiful as you. That I had ever been as beautiful as you. I don't get how you can say you are ugly.'' Platt said then and looked at the young girl. It hurt her that she was saying that she was ugly, because she was a strong woman, whom was far from ugly.
''Those scars are just scars… that is all they are. They are markings from something you survived and you are more than that.'' She said and Kim gave Platt a careful smile.
''You know where my desk is if you need anything. Please come by if you need to talk.'' Platt said and Burgess nodded, grateful.
Upstairs, Adam walked past Roman.
''I can't imagine how she can't get over it, she is alive, it are only scars.'' Roman said to the woman he was talking to.
Slowly Kim walked up the stairs again. Suddenly she heard loud yelling again and she ran, saw Adam pushing Roman against the wall and she ran his way, pulled Adam away.
''Adam, what are you doing!?'' She yelled and she pulled him back. Adam's elbow hit her in the face and she tumbled back as Adam pushed Roman to the floor and while she put her hand against his bleeding lip, she looked as Adam threw the first punch. She sat back against the wall, almost confused why what had just happened. Jay and Antonio came running towards the fighting men.
''You made her feel ugly and now I have to pick up the mess you made! I love her and you hurt her!'' Adam yelled.
''Ruzek let go!'' Jay said, holding his arm and he and Antonio tried to pull him off Roman before he could hit again.
''YOU SHOULD HAVE HAD HER BACK! YOU WERE HER PARTNER. SHE IS IN PAIN BECAUSE OF YOU! I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU! I HATE YOU!'' Ruzek yelled at Roman as Jay and Antonio dragged him away. Kim just closed her eyes as somebody helped her up as well, wished it was all over.
NOTE: Ruzek faced Roman at work because he is angry because he didn't have her back and he hurt his girl by not having her back. Antonio told him to back off and Kim got some comfort from Platt and got some help offered. Then it turned out Roman had said something about her to Jenn and Adam started a fight and Kim wanted to stop them but got a punch in the face instead and although the fight was stopped, what kind of consequences is it going to have?
Still coming up: A rift forms between Adam and Kim after this incident and the incident causes a lot of trouble for them all.
