All That Matters 2

SEVEN

Hank told us we were getting different partners for the week. I was with Kevin and Jay was with Hailey. Who knew why. But maybe this is what Jay wanted. He was making me so angry, this whole fixing it thing wasn't working and our marriage was just getting worse. Most days I want to give up but I know that I wouldn't. He was more important than anyone.

"Hey you okay Lins? Or Halstead whatever?" Kevin asks as we walk down the street.

"Its always Linsday here, even though I'm married now."

"Okay Linsday you good? I mean you and Jay jave been ignoring each other at work and you seem quiet."

"Yeah I'm okay, we just aren't getting along well at home. The marriage is failing. We are trying to make it work for ourselves and for the girls but its not going well." I said starting to cry.

"Hey hey Erin its okay its gonna be okay." He said hugging me and I kept crying.

"No Kev, its not, I mean I dont wanna give up but its like when he's not with me he's sooo happy and then at home he barely looks at me."

"Its gonna be fine. You guys are the power couple at work it'll work it self out just trust me alright."

I nodded my head and we continued to work.
------------------------------------
Upton and Halstead walked down the street towards the house they were interviewing. But Upton parked far from it so they could talk. Jay stayed silent and then Upton started talking.

"Hey how are you?"

"What?" Jay said looking at her.

"You-you and Erin, how are you guys?"

"Were fine." He said.

Hailey stopped and gave Jay that look "Jay."

"What Hailey?"

"Come on were friends right? So talk to me."

"I dont know, Erin and me just fight all of the time, we don't agree on anything, with the girls or ourselves and I wanna make it work but some days I wanna pack my bag and leave."

"Jay-
"What?"
"Don't say that, its marriage things wont be perfect okay but you have to try I mean you guys have 3 kids together 2 daughters that are old enough to understand whats going on with their parents." Hailey said as they entered into a bar.

"You're right."

Hailey smiled and slapped his shoulder "Aren't I always."
----------------------
Erin knew that Kevin was right and she was determined to make it work. She just hoped that Jay was too.
