The Calm Before the Storm (Jay Halstead)

Chapter 17

Cassie's P.O.V.

The next day Jay was working a case. He had to go question a witness at Chicago Med. After questioning the witness he began talking to his brother.

"So I saw Cassie at Molly's yesterday" Will said as he began writing down something on his clipboard.

"Yea?" Jay asked.

Will looked up at him "Yea, what are you two fighting about? She looked pretty sad"

"She's upset because I saved her life"

Will looked at him confused "It's a long story" Jay said.

"How long has it been since you guys have talked?"

"A few days"

Will clicked his pen and put it away in his front pocket of white coat "So have you been laying around in your apartment watching the Blackhawks game?" He asked as he handed the clipboard to a nurse.

"Actually I've been hanging out with Maddie"

Will looked at him "Maddie? Are you talking about Maddie Cruz?" He softly chuckled "Dude that girl is insane what are you doing out with her? What is she even doing back in Chicago?"

"She's not insane Will. She's a friend"

A light chuckle escaped Will's lips "Jay, she's insane. She was always a bad influence on you"

"Come on, she's different now"

"Right" Will said still giving him a look.

"Dr. Halstead, your needed in treatment 4" Maggie spoke as she approached him.

He nodded at her "Gotta go" He said as he began to walk away "And do me a favor, dump Maddie. Forgive Cassie" He turned his back and walked away.

I sat on the couch flipping the channels.

"Hey, you got any plans today?" Kelly asked approaching me.

"Ehh I don't know. Maybe do some sky diving, swim with sharks, and maybe climb Mount Everest later" I said shrugging my shoulders.

Kelly gave me a look. I softly chuckled "No I'm probably just gonna go shopping in a bit"

He nodded his head "Okay. If you need anything call me" He began walking to the door.

"Where are you going?" I asked.

He turned around to me "I'm gonna hang out with Stella. You want to come with us?"

I scoffed "And be a third wheeler? No thanks" I said turning my attention back to the tv.

"Alright. See you later sis" He said as he walked out the door.

I hung my hand up waving at him.

After spending a few hours out shopping I walked out with no bags. I walked down the sidewalk talking to Carly on the phone.

"I can't believe you went shopping for two hours and didn't buy anything"

"Yea, I guess I just wasn't in the shopping mood"
