A Jay Halstead Love Story

Chapter 5

The Next Day

Jess' P.O.V.

I woke up the next day to an empty room. No sign of Adam and even his bed was gone. I guess he had to go to work. I checked my phone to see if I had any messages. One from Jay, one from Adam and one from Cara. She's a journalist that I met in New York during fashion week. Adam's text said:

I had to run to work. If Will discharges you please call me. Love you kid

I replied:

Waiting for Will to come in, I will call the district if I need to get in contact with you.

Jay's text said:

Hey you ;) please call me if you need a ride home, I'd love to come take care of you!!!

I responded:

Text Will and ask him to discharge me ASAP I need to leave lol Hopefully we can have some alone time soon ;)

The text from Cara read:

Hey girl! :) I have to come to Chicago for a few weeks for an assignment. Where is a good place to stay? I leave in a few days.

I reply back:

Hey! You are NOT staying in a hotel. Adam and I have a guest room that you are more then welcome to stay in.

After finally answering all of the text messages Will comes in my room waving around papers.

"If you would like to leave you have to sign these papers," he smiles. "I already called Jay to come get you because you shouldn't be driving until you heal."

"Thank you Will, for everything." I smile back.

After I sign the papers I try to change into normal clothes. It is very difficult to change when you have one arm. When I finally get dressed I go to the lobby and wait for Jay. I hear someone call my name and I look up and it was Adam. Great. Not who I expected. We walk to the car and get in. I already am having trouble putting my seatbelt on.

"Voight said I can take the rest of the day off to help you out," he says.

"You don't have to Adam. I should be fine." I tell him.

"I'm going to stay with you until Voight calls me," he replies.

The whole drive home was silent. Adam helped me out of the car and went in the house.

"Do you mind if my friend Cara from New York stays with us for a few weeks?" I ask. "She has a job out here and I figured why should she stay in a hotel when we are friends?"

"If you want her to stay here she can," he smiled. "As long as that makes you happy."

"It really would. And she could help me so you don't have to," I reply.

"Is she cute?" He asks.

"Trust me on this, you'll love her." I smile.

"When does she get here?" He questions.

"In two days," I say.

"I have to start cleaning then. This place is a disaster." He laughs.

Then Adam got a call from Voight saying they got a case. He kisses my forehead then left.

Adam's P.O.V.

I get to the district and go up into the bullpen. Voight explains how more bodies were found but we have a lead where the guys are. We suited up and left the district. Al and I were in the car waiting for something to happen.

"There is movement in the building, move in!" Voight yells over the radio.

We all get out of the car moving very carefully and quickly. Next thing I know we're being shot at.

Jess' P.O.V.

After Adam left I tried showering. It was very difficult without help. Next time I know to call Jay. I started getting dressed and heard a knock at my door. I quickly through on my robe and answered the door. It was Jay.

"What brings you here," I smiled.

"Jess can you please get dressed, we have to go," he says very seriously.

"What's wrong?" I ask worriedly. "I need help getting dressed though."

He nodded but didn't answer my question. He helped me get dressed and started to walk towards the door.

"Jay what's going on. You're scaring me," I say.

"We have to get to Chicago Med. It's Adam," he says softly.
