when you would first meet Jay he was quite distant but he would warm up to you took a year or so but he would. but the problem with Jay is that we were secretive and never talked about family life, friends outside of work, his feelings anything like that.

everybody understood that Jay was quiet and never pushed him because he would most likely shut you down instantly and others wouldn't question him. but sometimes this got in the way of his health because he use to hide that as well.

for example, in the middle of winter, the unit was chasing after this guy who was selling drugs all up the north side and it was laced which kill anyone who would ingest it.

Jay was right on his tail when he talked him into a bunch of trash. he arrested ignoring the pain in his left side on where he landed.

"good job jay," Voight said taking the guy.

jay nodded and stood up trying to hide the pain in his side and walked to his truck and waited for Hailey to get in. once she got back into the truck he started the car and drove on back to the station without another word.

they all got back to the station started packing away the evidence and started on the paperwork before the end of their shift. after about an hour into the shift, the pain in Jay's shift started to worsen.

he walked to the locker room and looked at his side seeing that he had a massive gash in his side.

"shit" he whispered and opened his locker to get the small first aid kit that Will got him just in case.

he sanitised it and then wrapped it then put everything back into his locker just before Hailey came in.

"Hey, you ok," she asked.

"yeah, I'm fine why'd you ask," he asked her.

"Well, it looked like you landed odd on trash today just wanted to make sure that you didn't get hurt," she said leaning on the lockers.

"yeah I'm fine," he said going to walk off but Hailey stopped him.

"hey look I know you don't like to talk about stuff and I understand that but when it comes to your health you need to tell us or even me if you don't want the others to know just please don't put yourself on the line to stop people knowing about you," she said.

"yeah I got it," he said and walked back of into the bull pin and back to his desk and carried on with the paperwork.

As he planned nothing else came up without the others and he was able to finish the paperwork and go home. he was sitting on his couch watching the game when he notice the pain in his side was getting worse. he sighed and walked out off the couch and into the bathroom.

he lifted up his shirt and took the bandage off and saw that it was infected.

"fuck" he said and grabbed his phone to call Hailey.

"hey, what's up" she answered.

"I need you," he said.

"ok where you at," she asked.

"my place," he said and she hung up.

after about 15 minutes his door opened and then shut.

"Jay what's up" she shouted and he walked out of his bathroom.

"so my cut is infected," he said.

she walked over to him and looked.

"When did you get cut," she asked and he didn't say anything.

"Really Jay come on dude," she said.

"We got to get you to the hospital," she said and grabbed his hand.

they walked out of the apartment and then she drove him to the hospital where Will got him on some antibiotics. they sat there for about an hour before the infection went away and they were ready for him to get discharged.

"you understand what I was on about now," she said to him s they got into the car to leave.

"yeah sorry," he said with his head down.

"look I get it, okay you don't like to show weakness I get it but what could have happened if it was more than just a cut Jay I couldn't have lost you and I know that sounds a bit over the top but please you need to start talking about how you feel even if it just if you are in pain ok that's all I ask because I can't lose you," she said and he looked at her and nodded causing her to smile.

"come on let's get you home bet you are wanting some good sleep," she said and he nodded.

once they got back to his apartment they both walked in and sat on the couch watching some show. they stayed in silent until Hailey looked to her left and saw that Jay was fast asleep slouched next to her as his face was towards her.

she gave a small smile and got off the couch and moved Jay's body so he was lying across the couch she grabbed the throw and put it on him and then she kissed his head and walked out but not before locking everything up.
