Gabby POV:
Nobody has seen Kelly for about three days and today was his sister's funeral.
"Anybody heard from him today?" Herman asked
" nothing" Casey said
" I'll text him." I said
To Kelly:
Kelly, I know you don't want to hear it. I didn't when shay died. But, we are worried about you and today is her funeral. Show up Kelly, for her.
The firehouse was not taking any calls today and the intelligence unit along with the ER staff were on their way. We all piled into the trucks and headed to the funeral. When we got there, there was no sight of him.
"You texted him right?" Matt asked
"Yeah and so did Jimmy."
Jimmy was already upset but he was trying to stay strong. My phone went off.
From Kelly:
Meet me in the parking lot. Bring Borelli.
I looked at Matt and he nodded. Jimmy and I walked and saw him sitting by his car.
"Kelly?" Jimmy asked and he handed me and Borelli a cold one.
" we did it for shay, figured we could do it for julia too. Send her off right." Kelly said
I nodded with tears staining mine and Kelly's eyes. We have been through a lot together so we both get each other and have almost the same healing process.
" To Julia." I said
"To julia. My baby sister."
We drank. Casey came up to us.
"It's time guys."
We all walked over. It started. It came time for people to speak. Borelli was first.
" Jules, Love. I am so sorry this is how it happened. I am so sorry we didn't get to have the wedding. But I want you to know that I will always love you and I will love you forever. I'll miss you Jules, the smile, the laughs, the good times. All of it, all of you. I'll miss you love."
We were at this point crying. It was my turn being her partner.
"Hey partner." I said and started to cry "what am I supposed to do now huh? You left me here with all these troublemakers and an empty passenger seat. Jules you are the best partner I had. Never a bad day working with you. But you were my sister and I love you. Thank you for always being my shoulder and listening board. Girl I'm gonna miss you big time. Nobody will ever replace you Jules."
I sat down. It was chiefs turn.
" well, julia. When you said your last name was severide I thought 'oh good another one. Another troublemaker' at times you were the complete opposite. Don't get me wrong you were a troublemaker but one that we loved with all our hearts. You worked til work wasn't needed to be done anymore. We're gonna miss you julia forever and always. Your heart lays at the home of firehouse 51."
Finally it was Kelly's turn.
" Julia, Jules. My baby sister. The one I looked after. I'm sorry I couldn't protect you from this. I'm sorry he came after you. I love you and I will always keep you in my heart. Growing up with you was hectic because you would always cause trouble but I watched you grow up to the beautiful young woman that you are. I'm so glad I got to see you meet the love of your life and be happy. Julia your big brother loves you and is so proud of everything you've done, don't ever forget that."
He sat down and our radios went off.
"Dispatch to Julia Severide" the radio was silent "dispatch to Julia Severide" radio still silent " last call to julia severide." Silence. " Julia no need to respond thank you for your service and putting your life on the line for many years for others. Rest easy Julia. Always in our hearts love firehouse 51, intelligence unit, med and the rest of the city of Chicago."
I put my head down and cried and looked up at the sky. A hole in the city will never be filled. Chicago, she's beautiful but she's crying and everyone else is crying too.
