Hey! Thanks for all of your lovely reviews! I appreciate them a lot! And it makes me happy how much you all enjoy this story. :) To the person that asked about how jay and David know each other. Jay saw David for the first time last chapter. But to how David knows who jay is and how much he knows you'll see throughout the story. There's more to be revealed lol. As always enjoy the new chapter and leave a review! Thanks you all :)

"Jay! Wait!" I yell after him and he stops to turn around and face me.

I walk the last few steps until we're standing in front of each other. It feels like my heart is about to jump out of my chest and I'm having trouble breathing. He looks at me, a fire in his eyes that I haven't seen very often, waiting for me to say something.

"I'm sorry. I didn't know you were coming." Is all I can think off.

"Well, of course, how could you? You didn't even let me know you were still alive for the past few years!" He scoffs.

"Excuse me? since when do I owe you any updates on my life?" I ask him. I know that he's upset but he has no right to be mad about this whatsoever. He frowns, caught off guard by my question.

"Oh come on, Erin! I'm talking about the fact that we all saw each other last week and it's still like it never happened in the first place!" Jay screams out.

"Okay yeah, fuck me for living my life, right Jay!? And a phone works both ways you know!?" I spit out. I can't believe that he's putting all the blame for this on me! He was my ex-boyfriend after all. He takes a deep breath and I'm preparing myself for a big fight.

"... You're right." He suddenly says calmly. All the rage that was evident on his face is suddenly gone. Or he's really good at hiding it.

"What?" I ask quietly, still trying to figure out what he's thinking; I used to be better at reading him.

"I said you're right." He repeats, still calm, as if the past 2 minutes never happened. "I...I was just angry and caught up in the moment. I know we both moved on but I never thought I'd see you with another guy. You know, doing ... what you were doing." He says and it feels weird that he seems ok with it all of the sudden. Once again I'm confused and at a loss for words tonight. I take a deep breathe to collect myself.

"I mean I'm not doing anything to hurt you, Jay. I didn't even know you were coming. You completely caught me off guard." I say honestly and he just nods in an understanding way.

"I know. I just found your card and figured it could be a chance to catch up, without alcohol or other people being involved, but I guess that was silly." He shakes his head and looks down as if the thought of the two of us having a normal conversation is impossible. "Especially considering how things ended and-"

He continues but I cut him off. "Jay." I take a step forward and take his hand in mine and he immediately looks me in the eyes. "It's okay, it happened years ago and there's no need to bring this up again. We should just try to move past this." I say softly trying to stop myself from crying. I was still hurt but I've moved on from that time and so should he.

"You're right." He whispers and clears his throat. "How about a milkshake and some fries after work tomorrow then?" He asks with a little smile. I can't help but smile back.

"Sounds perfect." I say softly and his smile grows wider.

"Alright 4pm I'll see you there." He let's go of my hand and starts walking over to the stairs again.

"But wait! Where though?" I ask him confused because he never mentioned where we'd meet.

"Really? If you don't know which spot I'm thinking of then you don't have to come at all Lindsay!" He shouts over his shoulder with a laugh.

I immediately smile. I know exactly what place he was talking about. There was this diner we used to go to back when we were still partners. It was our favorite spot because they had the best milkshakes in the city.

"You're really gross sometimes, you know that Erin?" He frowns at me, a disgusted look on his face as I dip some fries into my milkshake and smile at him.

"What? It's delicious! Just because your perfectly structured brain can't handle the thought of salty and sweet together doesn't mean it doesn't taste good." I stuff the fries into my mouth with a satisfied smile. And he keeps looking at me like I'm an alien.

"Look it just doesn't make sense. How can you mix chocolate with potatoes? There has to be something wrong. It's sweet and salty at the same time. It just doesn't fit." He says matter of factly. And takes another sip of his shake.

"Why? You don't seem to have a problem licking whipped cream off salty body parts." I tease with a raised eyebrow and he chokes on his milkshake, instantly blushing. I laugh at his reaction and put my hand on his. "I'm sorry, but you gave me the perfect opportunity." I say and we both start laughing.

"I guess I deserve that one for saying you're gross." He chuckles. But suddenly his face turns serious and I don't know what it's about.

"What's wrong?" I ask confused. He just looks at me intensely before speaking up again.

"Nothing. I just think we're going to have to stop at the store before we get home later. We're out of whipped cream." He smirks and I can't help but laugh when he lifts his hand signaling that he wants to pay the bill.

I smile at the memory and make my way back to my apartment.

"Are you okay?" David asks concerned when I enter our living room. I make my way over to him and hug him.

"Yeah. Actually, for the first time in years I think everything will be ok." I say with a breaking voice, overwhelmed by the feelings I'm feeling right now and by the fact that I just had a full on conversation/fight with the ex-love of my life and my fiancé asks me if I'm ok. I really don't deserve him. "I told him I'd meet him tomorrow. Are you okay with that?"

David looks at me like I'm crazy. "What kind of a question is that? It's your life babe." He says softly and kisses my cheek. "I trust you and want you to heal, whatever way you choose to do so, I'm by your side." He smiles and picks me up again, but not in a sexual way this time.

He carries me into our bedroom and gently puts me on the bed. I can't help but kiss him, he's so good to me. "Thank you, David." I just whisper as he lays down next to me and puts his arm around me, holding me close. He just smiles and kisses me again before we drift off to sleep because there are no more words needed.

LINEBREAK

Jay's POV

I make my way out of her apartment building with a smile on my face. I'll see her again tomorrow. We had a fight; I lost my temper after seeing her with her fiancé. And she was right. I can't blame her for moving on. In the end, it's my fault that she even had to move on in the first place.

David must know a lot about me if he immediately knows who I am. I wonder what she told him or how they even met. I guess I'll find all of that out tomorrow.

I make my way to my car and immediately call Hayley. I have to tell her. She's been pushing me ever since that night to finally give Erin her card back. I start the car and put her on speaker.

"This is Hayley." She says and I immediately smile.

"I did it." I tell her without even saying hello.

"You went to see her?!" She basically screams through the speaker. "How did it go? What happened?!"

"Well, I kind of got there when, you know, I think her and David ... you know, it just was really bad timing. So I left the second I realized what I interrupted." I grit my words out. The thought still bothers me, more than I thought it would.

"Ugh, I'm sorry Jay. But at least you tried." She says disappointed. I think sometimes there is no one that supports the thought of Erin and I more than Hayley. I smile and continue.

"But she ran after me." I say and my heart immediately beats faster.

"What!?"

"Yes, and I started yelling at her." I tell Hayley knowing that she'll kick my ass the second I arrive at the district tomorrow.

"What the fuck? Come on Halstead!?" She says annoyed.

"But I saved it!" I say immediately "I'm meeting her tomorrow. Just Erin and I. We'll hang out and catch up, maybe even try to be friends again." I smile proudly and I know that Hayley has the same smile on her lips right now.

"That's great! I'm proud of you Halstead, thanks for the update. I'll see you tomorrow, and you better give me some details then!" She chuckles and hangs up before I have the chance to say anything else.

I drive home after and try to prepare for tomorrow. I have to admit, I'm really nervous.

That's it for this chapter. I hope you liked it :) please let me know what you think and leave a review. Next chapter will be some more flashbacks and Erin and Jays milkshake hang out. Stay tuned. I'll try to upload as soon as possible :)
