Chapter 7 - I gotta tell him

Jays pov

When Voight asked me to follow him outside so we could talk I got so scared because I didn't have a clue about what he was going to say and if he asked me to chose it would Erin hands down. But I did as I was told and followed him outside. I quietly closed Erin's hospital door and stood there looking at Voight  waiting for him to speak. When he finally spoke what he said surprised me. 

"Erin is like my daughter and I can tell by the way she looks at you that she loves you now I don't know if you feel the same but if she gets hurt in any way because of you, you will know what the bottom of the river looks like up close now, I'm willing to let the no in house relationships slide but you take as much time as you need to help her even when she doesn't want your help she still needs it so just be there for her even if she threatens or hurts you she's been through a lot that kid so, she doesn't deal with emotions well. He said with a stressed, worried, threatening, and concern on his features.

I looked at him and thought I just gotta tell him how I feel about her.

 "Sir, she is the best thing that has ever happened to me I will never in any shape or form hurt her mentally or physically the way her dad and yes before you ask she told me." He said seeing the questions form in his eyes but he continued anyway.

 "I really do love her Voight trust me I will not leave her side as for as long as I can help it. I will be with her every step of the way. I'll be her legs if she needs me to be" I said pleading a little.

 By the look on his face I could tell he believed me he started to walk but then turned and said "thanks Halstead."

 "No problem Sir" I replied a little stunned.

 When  he turned the corner I went back into Erin's room a little shocked bout what just happened. When I walked in her head immediately snapped up to look at me. Her eyes could show she was filled with worry. 

"What did he say?" she asked shakily. 

"Well he basically gave us his blessing he said he could tell that you loved and he said he didn't know how I felt but I couldn't hurt you or else I'd end up at the bottom of the river and then I told him I would never hurt or leave your side because I love you to much." I told her with pride and fear evident in my voice.

 I could tell by her facial expression that she was shocked. "Erin, you okay?" I asked worriedly after she hadn't responded for several minutes.

 "Yea I'm, I'm just shocked that you or him said anything like that about me." She said with a almost miss able sadness. 

"Well it's the truth Erin so, don't ever forget it and in one week when you get out of here I'm gonna prove it to you." I told her with a wink and a smirk.

*1 week later*

Today's the day Erin comes home but she wont be going to her apartment. She'll be coming to mine until she gets back on her feet. When she came out the bathroom dressed awaiting for the discharge papers I looked at her and realized how beautiful she looked even with bruises. 

I walked up to her and said "Well, today's the day you can leave but there was a change of plans your not going home instead, You will be coming home with me, no arguments because Voight already went to your place and got some clothes and things you will need and want so don;t try and come with an excuse." 

 She looked up at me with annoyance on her face "fine." She said with a huff.

 Just then Will walked in and was said "Hey, I heard you get out today so I figured I'd stop in and say bye and give you this" he said handing her a rose with a bear on it.

"Awee, thanks will but you might need to keep the rose to put on Jay's coffin after I kill him" She said with a innocent smile on her face.

He just chuckled then looked at me" Already bugging the misses I see, you might wanna be careful she's a detective so, she can cover her tracks she also has Voight" He said laughing harder now. 

 When he left the nurse walked in and Erin signed the papers as quickly as she could and we were ready to go.

When we got to the car I helped her in against her wishes. When I got in the car I buckled up then looked at Erin to make sure she was buckled and ready but then of no where she kissed me with so much hunger and passion. We kissed for what felt like forever but in reality was probably on two minutes then when we finally decided to come up for air. I turned and looked at with a shocked and satisfied look. 

"I love you and I really appreciate what your doing for me" she said with compassion in her voice. 

"I would die for you" I told her with out hesitation.

 she just looked at me while she was trying to process what i just said so then I just started the car and proceeded to drive away from the hospital to my apartment only 13 minutes away. We pulled up to my apartment and I got out to help her make it in and up the stairs safely.

" I'll be right back I'm just gonna go get your stuff okay." I said as I laid her down on the couch and kissed her forehead. She just nodded her head as she started to fall asleep.
