Recovery

Part One

The team walked into the district laughing and joking about when Jay's attention went straight to Erin empty desk. He walked over and opened the doors and slammed the doors shut. He stormed towards Voights office and pushed open the door, "where Erin?"

"Jay... she took the job in New York. She couldn't stay-"

"Shut up Voight"

"Excuse me" Voight stood up from his chair.

"Neither of you thought to tell me" Jay walked out of the office and was pacing around when he felt a rush of anger and he swiped everything off his desk. Every stood talking and looked over, "WOAH HALSTEAD CALM DOWN!" Antonio shouted at him.

"Whatever!" Jay grabbed his coat and left as everyone stood in shock looking at the mess on the floor and Voight who was just stood in the office with his arms folded.

Jay got in his car and he knew what he wanted. He drove to the closest bar which was Mollys and he went inside. He saw Gabby and the bar and he walked over to her, "two beers and whiskey"

"You sure Jay?"

"YES...Im sure just give them to me!" As Gabby put the drinks up on the bar Jay picked them all up and sat at the end of the bar.

Gabby stood there and looked at Jay and looked back at Matt and Kelly, "You alright?" Matt asked her

"Yeah it's not me I'm worried about" she said turning her head back to Jay as he was drinking his beer.

A few hours later

Gabby was just finishing cleaning with Hermann when Jay was still drinking at the end of the bar, "we're closing Jay, you should go home" Gabby said

Jay stood up and slurred his words, "I'll just go to another bar"

"You should go home jay sleep it off"

"I said I'm fine"

Jay was walking to the door when he dropped his keys as he pulled them out of his pocket. Casey got down on the floor and picked them up, "Maybe you should get a lift"

"I can drive... just give me the keys" Jay took a step closer

"I can drive you home" Jay took another step forward and grabbed hold of Casey, "JAY LET HIM GO!" Gabby shouted as she turned around and saw them.

"Now. Give. Me. The. Keys!" Jay said getting close to his face.

Casey lifted the keys up and Jay grabbed the keys and pushed Casey back as he left him go, "I said I was Good" he said walking out of the door.

Gabby walked over to Matt and put her hand on his shoulder, "You Okay?"

"Yeah maybe we should call Voight. Find out what happened today"

"Yeah good call" Gabby said

Jay stumbled into his car and put the keys in his car. He started driving and was swerving all over the road when he saw some flashing lights behind him. Jay pulled over and rolled down his window, "Can I see... Jay?" He heard.

Jay looked up and saw a patrolman from district 21, "I'm sorry but you were swerving"

"Yeah sorry. I had a long... few days. Just tired."

"You sure?"

"Yeah sorry for swerving I'll be more careful"

"Yeah ok-"

Jay rolled up his window and drove away as he watched the patrolman in his side view mirror. After all the fighting in the bar, Jay decided to go home and drink his own alcohol. He walked into his apartment and grabbed his liquor from the cupboard but as he walked back to the couch he saw all the pictures of Erin lined up along his cabinet.

As he took a sip of the whiskey he picked up each picture and through them all at the wall across the apartment and he listened to them all smash as they fell to the ground. Jay collapsed on his couch and carried on drinking as all he could think about was Erin and he wanted to try his hardest to forget.
