A Jay Halstead Love Story

Chapter 1

Jess' P.O.V.

As a photographer I travel all over the country and take pictures of what people need. I was recently in New York for New York fashion week taking pictures for them. Now I am returning back to Chicago where I live with my brother Adam Ruzek. Sometimes I help out at the district taking photos of the crime scene. Adam isn't a fan when they call me because he is very protective. He is suppose to be picking me up from the airport but sometimes he's very busy and can't. I get off the plane and grab my suitcase. No sign of Adam. Great. Then my phone rings.

"Hey Adam, where are you?" I say loudly into the phone.

"Jess its Jay." He laughs. "Adam got stuck at work so I'm out front to pick you up."

"Shouldn't you be working?" I question.

"Get in the car and I'll explain. I'm right out front," He explains.

I walk out the front of the airport searching for Jay. Finally I see it and I make my way to him. He gives me a big hug and we get into the car.

"Explain," I give him a confused look.

He sighs, "Erin just moved away to New York. I was going to ask her to marry me."

"I'm so sorry Jay," I spoke.

"It's fine. Voight gave a few days off from work. So are we going to the district or home?" He asked.

"Home please." I smiled.

The whole way home Jay and I made small talk. I really did miss him. Him and Kevin are Adam's closest friends so by default they're mine too. Finally we got to Adam and my apartment. Jay parked the car and got out to grab my suitcase.

I smiled at him, "You don't have to do that."

"It's fine, I'll carry them to your apartment." He smiled and we went up to the apartment.

I unlocked the front door and we both went inside. Jay set my bag down by the front door and we both sat down on the couch.

"Do you know when Adam will be home?" I questioned.

He shrugged, "It will probably be a late night."

I sighed, "Well what are your plans for the night?"

"I was either going to go back to my house and sleep or go to Molly's and have some beers." He replied. "Would you like me to stay?"

"How about we get some Chinese food and then head down to Molly's?" I asked.

"Sounds like a good plan." He smiled.

We ordered a lot of food for just the two of us. Of course we didn't finish it all. After dinner Jay went home to shower so I did the same. Jay has a key to the apartment so if he finishes before me I don't have to let him in. I decided to wear a tight black dress with a low cut in the front. If Adam saw what I was wearing he probably would be pissed. I heard a knock at the door so I look through the peephole and of course it's Jay.

"Nice outfit," He smirks. "Adam would kill you. And me for that mater because I'm taking you out."

"Are we going to take an uber? Or are you going to drive?" I questioned.

"We're taking an uber, I want to get plastered with you." He laughed.

"Then who's going to take care of us in the morning?" I giggled.

"Looks like Adam will have his hands full," He joked.

Finally we called an Uber and went out. We had way too many drinks at Molly's. Eventually Otis and Hermann started giving us less alcohol in our drinks. All night there has been a guy at the end of the bar looking at me. This guy decides to get up and make his way towards me. He's got dark hair and hazel eyes. He's probably about six feet tall. I look over at one of the tables and Jay is talking to Will.

"Hey, you here alone?" This guy smiles at me.

"If you're asking if I'm single the answer is yes," I slur a little.

"How do you feel about coming home with me?" He asks.

"I'm not sure," I replied.

"Come on. Please," He begs and grabs my arm.

"Please let go," I cry.

"Come one," He grabs harder.

I look over at Jay and he's already running towards me. He punches the guy in the face and the man falls on the floor. I apologize to Hermann and Otis and drag Jay out of there. We get in front of the restaurant and order an Uber. We wait in silence. I can already start to see my arm started to bruise. Great, Adam is going to ask what happened. When we finally get into the apartment Jay and I stumble inside. He grabs my waist and pulls me close to him. We start making out and head to my bedroom.

The Next Morning

Jay's P.O.V.

I wake up the next morning realizing I'm not in my own apartment. I look to my right and Jess is sleeping next to me. I go to get up and leave and realize I have no clothes on. I quickly start getting dressed until the door opens.

"Hey Jess sorry I missed you last night," Adam starts rambling. Then he looks up from the floor. "JAY!" is voice booms.
