Chicago fire- Casey's sister- season 1

Episode 23- Let her go.

Emily's pov:

I went to work but just stayed on the couch. "Hey. How you holding up?" Cruz sat next to me. I looked at him. Tear stained face. He hugged me. My brother is on his way to the police department to find out more info. Antonio said he would keep me updated.

My phome rang. It was Antonio. I held Cruz's hand while I answered it. "Hello?" I answered. "Hey, Em." Toni said. "Just tell me." I said. Tears in my eyes again. He sighed. "She got struck in the head. It killed her before the fire." He said.

Tears ran down my face. "Emily." He said. "Don't worry. I'll find them and make them pay." He said then hung up. I looked at Cruz and he hugged me. "I heard." He said. I cried into his chest.

I then heard footsteps. "Emily?" Otis asked. I stayed where I was. Not moving. Cruz tried to leave, but I held onto him tighter. "Hey, it's OK. I'm not going anywhere." He said. He rubbed my back. I just kept crying.

After about 10 minutes, the alarm went. "Hey, I have to go, but I'll be back. I promise." Cruz said. I loosened my grip on him and he got up. I looked up at him. "Please come back." I said. He smiled, nodded, and kissed my head.

They came back and I heard Cruz trying to find me. I moved to the beds. I was sat on his, looking into my hands. "Emily!" He said. "There you are. I thought you left." Cruz said.

I looked up at him. He sat next to me. "Who's the girl Otis brought?" I asked. He sighed. "I don't know." Cruz said. "He's probably just trying to make me jealous." I said. Cruz then hugged me again.

I heard footsteps, then heard Otis speak Russian. "This is the love of my life,Emily. She's just had someone close to her pass away so she's a bit upset." Otis said. I looked up at him and wiped my tears away.

I sighed and smiled. "Privet. Rad vstreche." I said. "You can speak Russian?" Otis asked. I smiled. "Yeah. I studied it in school. Wanted to teach it but here I am instead." I said. He smiled. "YA tebya lyublyu." Otis said. I smiled.

They then walked to see someone else. I looked at Cruz and he smiled. "You two really were meant for each other." He said. "Solo porque me enseñaron su idioma en la escuela?" I asked. Cruz looked at me.

"How long have you known Spanish?" He asked. "Pretty much since I was 5." I said. He smiled and shook his head. "So you understood everything I was saying?" He asked. I nodded.

I then got a call from Antonio. "Toni, hey." I said. "Can you do me a favour?" He asked. "Yeah, anything." I said. "Keep an eye on your brother for me." He said.

"Yeah. Of corse." I said. "Um, how is he holding up?" I asked. Kelly walked past and I looked at him with the look. He nodded and I stepped in his office.

"As well as he can be, I guess." He said. "How are you holding up?" He asked me. I took a deep breath, not wanting to break out into tears again. "Yeah, just make sure you find the bastard that did this." I said. "I will. I promise." Toni said.

"Don't promise. Please." I said. "Matt's one of us. Your one of us. She was one of us." Toni said. "We will find him." He said. "Thank you." I said.

"Hey Em?" Toni asked. "Yeah." I said. "Do you wanna grab a beer after shift?" He asked. I looked over at Otis. "Yeah." I said. "Yeah, I'll meet you at Molly's." I said. "Great. I'll see you then." He said then hung up.

I walked out to Cruz who was still where he was before I went Into the office. "What's wrong? What did he say?" Cruz asked, concern in his voice. I sighed.
