My Hero

Chapter 5

Erin and Jay, were awoken, as the doorbell continuously rung.

"WHOEVER IT IS! STOP IT!" Nadia yelled.

Erin and Jay laughed softly, and got out of bed.

"Sorry, Nadia." Erin apologised.

Nadia slammed the door shut, and fell back to sleep.

"Damn! She's moody?" Jay spoke up.

"DON'T MAKE ME COME OUT, THERE, HALSTEAD!" Nadia threatened.

Jay rushed downstairs, so did Erin.

"Okay, Okay, I'm coming!" Erin exclaimed.

Erin unlocked the door, and saw two men.

The two men, were in military uniform, which scared, Jay.

"Can I help you?" Erin asked.

"We're looking for Jayson Halstead, is he here?" Garrett asked.

Jay came out, behind the door, and spoke.

"Here, Sir!" Jay saluted.

Garrett and Michael saluted, and spoke.'

"We're here to give you information, about, Gregory Gerwitz, we have reason to believe, he's dead." Andy explained.

Jay felt his whole world, crumbling on top of him, he felt suffocated, like his world, was ending, he lost his brother, best mate, and partner.

"W-What?" Jay gasped.

Andy and Garrett apologised, and left the apartment.

Erin thanked the officers, and closed the door.

As Erin turned back, Jay was sitting on the floor, breaking into tears.

"Oh, my love!" Erin whispered.

Erin crouched down, and pulled Jay into her arms.

"Let it out, baby, just, let it out." Erin soothed.

Jay sobbed uncontrollably, as he clung to Erin's top.

"Shush, I got you, baby, I got you." Erin comforted.

Nadia walked downstairs, and saw Erin, and Jay.

"It's okay, I didn't mean it, Jay!" Nadia laughed, nervously.

Erin looked up, and noticed Nadia.

"It's not, about that, Mouse, has been found dead." Erin explained.

 Nadia felt like her breath, was caught, her husband, best friend, was found dead, and her whole world, was breaking apart, just like Jay's.

"M-Mouse." Nadia whimpered.

Erin held Nadia, and Jay, in her arms, soothing them both.

"It's gonna be okay, I got you, both." Erin comforted.

After Awhile. Erin, managed to settle, Jay, and Nadia for a nap.

Nadia was asleep on the couch, whereas, Jay, was sleeping on the recliner.

"How are they, kiddo?" Hank asked.

Erin looked at her dad, and sighed.

"I don't know? Nadia's lost her husband, Jay's lost his brother." Erin explained.

Hank hugged Erin, and spoke.

"Well, their hurting, kiddo, give them time, and they'll come around, eventually, I promise." Hank promised.

Erin nodded, and walked over to Jay.

"It's gonna be okay, baby, I'm here." Erin spoke softly.

Hank hugged Nadia, as she cried, rocking her softly.

"I got you, sweetheart, I got you." Hank soothed.

Erin stroked Jay's hair, and rubbed his back.

"Don't worry, about sending them in, they need the day, to gather, their thoughts." Hank explained.

Erin agreed, and wiped, Jay's tears away, as they fell.

After a few hours. Nadia and Jay, were in their separate bedrooms.

Nadia fell asleep, with her head, on Hank's lap, who was acting like a father.

In Erin and Jay's room. Jay, was sleeping, with his head, on Erin's chest.

"I'm so sorry, baby, I love you, so much." Erin spoke quietly.

Erin kissed Jay's forehead, and fell asleep.
