A/N: Thanks to everybody who reviewed and followed my story. Also a huge thanks to everyone who put me or my story to their favourites. I am still trying to figure out how this website works and I am still looking for somebody who wants to become my beta reader. Anyway I hope you enjoy chapter2. Have a nice day/evening and I would love to read a review of you :*

It was very loud at Molly´s and to be honest Jay didn't want to be there. But he would feel bad if he had not joined his teammates. He also was glad that everybody seems to forgot about him and his dad so he tried to act normal and have fun. "Alright guys, round is on me." Ruzek shouted and ordered 5 shots from Hermann. As everybody had their glass they pushed it together and drank everything in one sip.

Suddenly Jay felt like somebody was watching him. He looked up and made eye contact with Antonio. "You good?" He mouthed over the table. Jay shook his head, glad that he had an excuse for leaving as Antonio stood up and said "Considering the fact that it is very late right now and I´m feeling like crap I´m going to hit the bed. Anybody here who needs a ride?" Jay stood up too. "That would be great the muttered. Antonio laughed. "I don't know how I look right know but I´m sure as hell not as bad as you." The whole group laughed and although Jay was utterly exhausted he joined them.

And it felt good.

He hadn't laughed in a while. Well not since they got this case but long enough that the laughter reminded Jay of his great friends.

"Come on Halstead. I´ll take you home." As Jay and Antonio arrived at his car he shot a worried glance at his friend. Was it just his exhaustion or was there something else? Antonio shod his head and sat down. He waited for Jay to close the door until he started the engine and headed off to Halstead´s apartment. The ride was silent and after 10 minutes they reached the red house complex.

Antonio followed Jay without asking for permission but he was very worried about his friend so he didn't care. As Halstead pulled his keys out of his pocket his sleeve rolled up and released a dark purple bruise. Antonia sharp intake of breath caused Jay to spin around. "What's wrong" he asked.

Antonio just stood there and stared at Jays wrist. He tried to find a logical explanation for that injury but he couldn't remember something which had happened today and caused such an ugly bruise.

After a few seconds he regained his voice back and pulled Jays sleeve up. "That's wrong!" He nearly shouted. Jay cringed under his words and tried to pull his shirt down. But Antonio's grip was firm.

"What happens?" He asked, a lot quieter than before. Finally, Jay managed to pull his sleeve down. "Nothing" he said with a bit of anger in his voice. Why can't Antonio just leave him alone. Of course he knew the answer already: Antonio cares. Normally Jay was not that type of guy who could deal with caring that well. And especially in such a situation all he wanted to do was laying down on his couch and watch a silly game.

Unfortunately, his answer caused Dawson to sigh loudly as he realized how stubborn Jay was once again. "Come on, Jay that" he pointed at his wrist "is not nothing. If you don't tell me what happened, it's of course not okay but I get it. But please tell somebody else will you?" With these words he turned around and returned to his car.

As Jay was finally able to unlock the door and step inside he could just watch his friend driving away. Sighing once again Jay threw himself on the couch which caused his ribs to scream in pain. Jay winced and grabbed the remote with his uninjured left hand. He was glad as he found a hockey game and managed to pull his boots off. It did not take much time for him to fall asleep.

While Jay was watching Hockey Antonio just drove around in his car, unsure what to do now. His mind played stupid games with him as his brain tried to come up with a logical explanation for such an injury. It looked like a handprint but Antonio didn't remember a situation with a suspect who grabbed Jay that hard.

Well He knew that Jay bruises very fast and very badly but that didn't stop that little voice in the back of his head which spins one horrible scenario after one another. As his mind wandered of Dawson did not realize that he had stopped his car in front of Olinsky´s House. Antonio continued to sit in his car for a few more minutes until he found the courage to get out and knock at Olinsky's "door".

Alvin seemed surprised to see Dawson standing in front of his garage. "What's up, kid? It's already late!" Although his words seemed rough Alvin smiled a bit as he saw Dawson struggling to explain himself. After a few seconds he managed to get some words out. "I think Jay has a problem. Which means that I have a problem too. Because he won't tell me what is wrong with him and I don't know what I'm doing." Antonio trailed of as Al stopped his talking with his hand.

"You're rambling kid. Come in and slow down a bit. What happened?" Both detectives stepped inside and sat down. "Something seemed off with Jay tonight when we were at Molly's. So I asked him if he was alright and as he denied it I took him home." Antonio stopped and Alvin nodded slightly. "Go on" he murmured. "We stopped in front of his door and he tried to unlock the door. I watched him and saw that his wrist was badly bruised."

Alvin took in a sharp breath. "I was confused and pulled his sleeve up and saw that the bruise looked like a handprint. But I can't imagine a situation with a subject who grabbed his wrist." Antonio looked at Olinsky for some support. Alvin nodded. After a few moments of silence, he looked up. "I noticed that something was off with him today. To be honest after he spoke with his dad." Antonio's head shot up. He had completely forgotten that Jay had talked to his dad today.

"That is a possibility. But as I know his father is a well-known Doctor. If we talk about child abuse and we are wrong, we'll have a huge problem." Alvin nodded again. "So you think we should wait?" Antonio needed some time till he responded. "Yes. I think we should wait. Jay told me it's nothing so I left him alone. Maybe we should wait and see what is going to happen." Olinsky nodded once more and stood up. "Alright. But keep an eye on him. I don't want Jay to get injured once more. You get that?" "

Of course." He stood up. "Thanks O. Sorry for bothering you. See you tomorrow." Alvin guided him out and watched as Antonio left with his car. After that he sat in his chair and got lost in his thoughts. He had known something was up with that kid. He should have asked him more firmly if he was okay. Although Antonio told him not to come up with such a theory so soon O couldn't find another reason.

A/N2: Well after 10 minutes I finally found the button how I am able to post a new chapter. Yayyy!
