Where We Want To Be. A LINSTEAD Story

Chapter 1 (Prologue)

Erin's POV

So I guess you could say that my life hasn't been the easiest. My mother was a drug addict and never around or always looking for a way to get high. She never cared for me. And my father was always in and out of prison. But then my life turned around when I was 15. I was caught stealing. we had no money left because my mother spent it all on drugs and spent all my money on drugs too. Because of my mother I was also addicted to drugs and now had a record. If it wasn't for Hank Voight I don't know where I would be right now. Probably dead. So Hank Voight decided that he and his wife Camille would take me in and raise me as their own. I was very lucky for that and I now have my job as detective in the intelligence unit of Chicago's 21st district the most elite unit in all of Chicago. I also wouldn't have my best friend and partner Jay Halstead.

Jay's POV

You could say I have had a though life so far I was an army ranger and saw my fair share death and cruelty. I also didn't have the best childhood. My mother and brothers were very loving and always had my back but my father on the other hand did not. He was an abusive parent taking all of his rage and anger out on me. I had to deal with alot of beatings and never told anyone because I did not want to endanger them with the wrath of my father. I am now a detective in Chicago's most elite unit the intelligence unit run by Hank Voight. I am very happy with how my life is today and have gotten over the past and am happy to have the best freind and partner ever, Erin Lindsay.

How can i even begin to describe her. She is the most beautiful human being that i have ever seen. She has gorgeous brown hair with sandy brown highlights. She has stunning hazel eyes. Erin is my best freind and partner and I would never do anything to risk that but I feel like ever since we have met that there has been a connection between us and the possibility to be so much more. I don't know if Erin has these same feelings for me and I know this may ruin our friendship and also that Hank does not approve and will probably kill me but I don't care I need to finally tell Erin about my feelings towards her. I am head over heals for her and I need to finally express it I can't hold it in any more.

Erin's POV

I cannot even begin to describe him, Jay Halstead is so handsome. He is the most handsome person I have ever seen. He has sparkling blue eyes and a jaw line of steel. And I swear he has rock hard muscles and must have a definite six-pack although I have never seen to confirm. I mean I can definitely see our relationship going somewhere farther but I don't want to do anything to ruin what he have now and I don't think I can live without him. He is the one that always has my back and is there to protect me. But I can't hold it in anymore I need to express my feelings. I know Hank has forbidden it and i do owe him for saving my life but I'm not a teenager anymore he can't keep controlling me. I need to tell Jay how I feel and hope he feels the same way.

*at the district*

It's Friday and we just arrived at work. Everyone is here except for Ruzek he is always late. There is still five more minutes till shift starts and now is my chance to tell Jay how I feel.

"Hey Jay can I talk to you in the break room for a minute?" I ask walking over to his desk

"Yeah sure." He says standing up following me to the break room.

I can tell you one thing I am a bit nervous this could mean the start of what I have been waiting for or the end of a great friendship.

"You wanted to talk?"

"Yeah I have something I have been meaning to tell you." I say my voice shaky with nerves.

"Sure anything."

"Jay I...." I start before I am interrupted by hank yelling as he walks out of his office.

"We have a case!!"

"Ok. Um, do you want to get beers tonight?"

"Yeah sure Molly's??" He suggests

"Um I was thinking maybe back at my place?" I say wondering if that sounds too weird.

"Yeah sure I will be there after shift. 7 sound good?" He asks

"Yeah see you then. Let's get out there before Hank get mad." I say as we make our way back to our desks.

So this is the first story I have ever written I hope you like it I will be updating alot. If you have any feedback or ideas for future chapters let me know and I will definitely try to include them.
