Halstead had gone out for a while to take his mind off, of what's going on. He couldn't just sit in the hospital waiting for news to be given, so he decided to take a trip to the precinct. When he had entered the serge had given him a smile and noddded his head. She Asked for Erin, and he told her thst she was in surgery and he couldn't just sit there which she had understood. Platt always liked Lindsey, there had been a past between them as Erin had told him that platt had known her since voight had taken her of the streets and he could see it in the Sergants eyes that she saw Erin as a diagnose as she had seen Erin grow up and be a completely different person. He walked up the stairs and saw his team just doing paperwork.

' hey jay' Ruzek was the first person to acknowledge him.

' hey' he said and walked to his desk.

' has erin gone for her surgery' Kim asked, who was Erins best friend.

' yeah uh She has, I couldn't be there-'

' we understand there's no need to explain' Hailey spoke and jay had just nodded his head. He got up and walked into the breakroom to get a cup of coffe. And there on the board he had sen a picture of the group. The old group. Ruzek, Alvin, Hank, Jay, Erin and Antonio. They were so happy, Erin had the biggest smile because that day she had cracked open a big drug dealing Cade and everyone was so proud of her for doing so, next to the picture was a picture of her Nadia and jay, this was when Nadia had passed her exams and they went to mollys to celebrate. Erin was busy looking at him rather than the phone in which mouse had taken, and so was jay looked at her and this was when they were in love, no problems what's so ever. They were happy, really happy.

But life had to come in the way and it all went down in the drain, if she hadn't left he would have been with her from the start with her cancer. He would have known about it and been with her every step of the way.

' how you holding up?' Someone asked and it was Burgess.

' ah I'm okay' he spoke as he sat down at the table in the breakroom.

' come on jay'

' for real... I don't know. She's in her surgery right now and I couldn't be in that hospital room just thinking about the worst. I had to just come here and think about the memories we had together and made together'  Kim day there in silence she let him carry on hecosde at this moment his feelings had mattered.

' I-I don't know I HATE seeing her like this, I'm used to her being up and ability. Her witty responses, they she is when we're on the field. But jow seeing her in the hospital bed has made it so real you know'

' yeaaah, I know. But you know what... maybe this is the universss way. To bring two people together who love each other so much through a tragic experience. Erin Will be okay, shd will be back on her feet t any time, you know that yourself. You know how strong she is no matter what had happened in her life and we know she had been dealt with a shitty hand'  Jay took in every word Kim had said to him, she patted his head and left the break room to get some space. He needed to talk to someone who gets it and he knew who would.

He walked out the Precint, saying goodbye to everyone and letting them know about erin. He even said that to Platt, he got in his car and drove off without thinking. Because the person who knows about this pain he is feeling right now will know what t say and do. Once he had reached the destination,  he looked up at the house and there it was his childhood house. The last time he came here was with Erin, when Erin was still in Chicago fit and well, ready to battle whatever came he rest. He took a deep breath and existed his car and locking it behind him.

He walked up to the stairs leading to the house, and slid the key in. He walked in the house and nothing but warmth was coming im it.

' dad it's me, so don't shoot' he said as he raised his hands.
