17; Say What You Wanna Say

Jamie stood in front of the mirror, feeling like he couldn't move as his heart pounded in his chest- the two words wrote in red lipstick was seared in his brain. He knew he should probably be scared and afraid- just the way Jimmie wanted him to be, but instead he was angry.

He was livid that Jimmie broke into his apartment and tried to intimidate him, and he hated that he was trying to claim Noelle as his own. She would never belong to Jimmie, he would make sure of that.

Hearing a gasp from the doorway, he jerked his head to the side and saw Noelle standing there with wide eyes when they landed on the mirror. He quickly stepped in her line of sight to block the view and led her back out into the hall. Seeing that she was frozen in shock, he laid his hands on either side of her face, forcing her to look at him.

"Hey, hey, look at me. Baby, look at me," he said, desperate to get her attention. When she finally cut her eyes at him, he nodded his head. "That's good, that's good, just look at me, okay? And don't think about it, don't let it get to you...that's what he wants. He wants to frighten you, he wants to terrorize you-"

"He was here," she cut him off with a whisper as tears filled her eyes. "He was here, Jamie. That means he knows about you...about-about us-"

"Shh, it's okay." He brushed a few tears from her cheek, then held her face in his hands. "He can't touch us, okay? I'm not going anywhere, Nol. He's not going to scare me away." He kissed her forehead, keeping his lips pressed against her skin. "I'm right here, baby."

She nodded her head at his words. She wanted to believe them, but she couldn't stop worrying about what Jimmie was going to do next. What if the next time he broke in he did something worse? What if he caught Jamie off-guard and hurt him?

As those fears hit her, she felt a chill down her spine and buried her face in his shirt. She laid her hands on his side and gripped his shirt as he folded her arms around her and held her tight. She wasn't sure how long they stood like that until she felt him kiss the top of her head, then pull back to slip his cell phone out of his pants pocket.

"What are you doing?" she questioned.

"Calling Danny." He unlocked the phone and began to scroll through his contacts for his brother's number.

"Jamie-"

"We have to call this in, Nol," he cut her off. "I know why you are hesitant, I really do, and I understand all of your fears, but we can't put it off any longer, we have to tell him. Danny needs to know."

"Okay," she softly said after a few moments of silence. Deep down she knew he was right- it's not like she was trying to be stubborn, she just had that little bit of fear of being turned away or looked at like she was crazy the way it was before.

Noelle went to take a step back as he clicked on his brother's name and placed the phone against his ear, but he pulled her back to him. He wrapped an arm around her shoulders and kept her pressed against him as he quietly spoke to Danny. He asked him to come by with another officer but asked him to keep it off of the radio. His brother wanted to know what the hell was going on, but Jamie told him he would explain more when he got there.

Ending the call, Jamie pocketed the phone and kept an arm around her as he led her into the living room to get her far away from the bathroom and the message on the mirror. He walked her over to the couch where she sank down onto it in a daze. He sat beside her and kept an arm around her shoulders to hold her close while they waited for Danny to arrive.

He didn't have to ask what she was thinking, he knew how freaked out she was. It seemed pretty clear that Jimmie was out and he was in their city terrorizing her. In his opinion this was a huge mistake on many levels, but mostly because she wasn't alone this time.
