Author's Note: This may be a little rough. It was kind of last minute. I know you'll probably have questions, but they'll be answered in the next chapter or so. I'll probably have to at least do 2 more chapters to wrap this up. Bare with me loves ♡

Part 2: A blast from Jay's past

Things have been tough for the unit, but they were all getting along okay. It figured, you know, that things would start going to hell just when things were going great.

It had been a month since him and Erin made their confessions. Things had been going so great, and they weren't bad now, it's just Jay's past had came back to haunt him. A person he thought he'd never see again, but they were back, and he wasn't sure how to handle it.

Jay wasn't sure how to handle it because, it was a past relationship that he never told Erin about, and he wasn't sure how she was going to handle it.

Keeping secrets wasn't something he liked doing with Erin, especially after they opened up to one another the way they have. He really didn't want this to ruin his relationship with Erin.

Veronica, that was her name, his ex. One day while he was at the Precinct, Platt came and told him that he had a visitor.  When he got downstairs, there she was, a blast from the past, someone he wanted to keep in the past.

"You're a hard person to find," Veronica said, with a smirk across her face. Jay was not amused.

"What the hell are doing here?" Jay asked, keeping his voice lowered, but his tone still full of annoyance.

"Is that anyway to talk to an old flame?"

Jay could tell, just by that sentence and the way she delivered it, she was hoping to piss him off.

"Whatever you want, Veronica, is going to have to wait. I'm busy with work."

Jay wanted her gone before Erin saw her. It wasn't a conversation he wanted to have right now. Plus, if it would lead to a fight, it was something he wanted to avoid. He didn't want to fight with Erin, not over his ex.

They discussed a place to meet up, and she headed on her way, Jay was so relieved when Veronica finally left. Not only because he was annoyed to see her, but also because she left without being seen by Erin.

Was it horrible for him to be meeting Veronica for drinks? He had no feelings for her, he actually regretted ever being with her, but the fact he was with Erin, someone he was in a committed relationship with, was it horrible that he lied to her, told her he was going to hang out with Ruzek for a bit? Ruzek, wasn't thrilled about lying for Jay, but when Jay explained what was going on, he went against his better judgement, and covered for Jay. He'd owe Adam big time for this.

Veronica arrived first, so, she was already at the bar drinking a cocktail, waiting on Jay to arrive. When he finally did and joined her, she could see the annoyance on his face.

"Oh lighten up. It won't kill you to hear me out on what I need to tell you."

Jay gave her the, you know, are you kidding me look. He felt like she had a lot of nerve to ask that of him.

"Just get to the point. I have somewhere to be, someone waiting for me."

That peaked Veronica's attention, but decided to not push it and just get to the point. She knew why Jay hated her, or was angry with her, though she figured hate was the right term for how he felt about her. They were in a relationship long ago, back when he was in the Academy. They were somewhat serious, they probably could've been a lot more serious if she had of walked on him.
