Ch. 7 | You may not be mine. But I'm yours.

Amy POV
"Hey Jake." I greet, giving him a kiss on the cheek.

"Hey babe." He smiles, taking my hands in his. "I have to ask you something."

His eyes are expectant. Like he can't wait to ask me what he's going to ask me.

Jake gets down on one knee. "Amy I love you more then anything. You are my dream girl. You're everything I could have asked for in life. And I can't wait to spend the rest of our lives together. I can't wait to have kids with you and grow old with you. So...." his smile widens. "Will you marry me?"

Tears of pure happiness roll down my cheeks. "Of course I will marry you!"

He gently places the ring on my finger. Our lips meet and I can't help but feel like everything is perfect. It's like a dream I never wanna wake up from-

I shoot up. Blinking rapidly.

"Are you ok?" Steve asks me.

I guess I fell asleep while we were watching a movie.

"Ya fine." I lie while clearing my throat. "Just fine."

I just love Jake Perlata.....that's all.

Jake POV
"Hey Ames." I say when I walk into Shaws. "Where's Dave?"

Dave is the guy she's been dating this week.

You know her motto 'anyone besides Jake works for me'. But it's fine. I'm fine with that.

"Dave is out." She shakes her head.

"How come?" Gina whines. "He was yummy."

"Ok I'm not afraid to admit when other guys are attractive but he...was not." I scrunch my face up.

My phone rings. "Hello?"

"Hello Jake it is your Captain Raymond Holt speaking." Holt replies quickly. "I need you and Santiago to follow up on a lead. I will text you the address."

He hangs up not giving me anytime to reply.

"Ames we've gotta go." I point to the door.

Amy POV
"Clear." Jake says softly, as we continue down the hallway.

"So I'm dating this new guy." I begin while looking around.

"Another one of these guys." Jake laughs. "Geez."

The only guy I really want is you.

"Jake come one." I roll my eyes. "Clear."

"Sam was awful." Jake jokes. "Steve smelled like beets."

"He did not." I spit angrily. "Jake just drop it. All you do is make fun of the guys."

"They deserve it." Jake shrugs, biting his lip to keep his smile away.

"Just drop it." I repeat, anger building in my chest.

"What's the guy's name anyway?" Jake continues with a laugh, he points his gun down a hall. "Clear."

We walk down the hallway.

"I get it ok?!" I snap.

He looks taken aback. "What do you get?"

"You hate me ok. I've heard enough." I look away from him.

"I-I don't hate you." He manages.

"Yes you do!" I argue in a shout.

"No I don't!" He yells back.

"Yes you do!" I repeat in a scream. "Of course you freaking do!"

"No I don't hate you!" He disagrees.

"Ya-" I start but he interrupts me.

"I don't hate you because I love you!" Jake shouts, now it's my turn to be surprised. "I don't hate you because I'm in love with you." He repeats. "Because every time you talk to me about a guy the only thing I have is my humour an-and jokes otherwise I'm just sad and in love and lonely. And that's just crap. It's crap that I love you so strongly that it physically hurts just to be around you. It hurts to be around you while your not mine. While Teddy is there or whoever you're seeing right now. Because I have to watch them hold you and kiss you and love you. And I can't do any of that. So I-" his voice cracks a little. "So I joke around to protect myself from the pain. The pain of loving you."

"J-Jake I-" He stops me again.

"I hate myself." He says, looking away from me. "I hate myself for loving you as much as I do. Because you don't want me. And me continuing to want you is killing me. But I can't stop. Couldn't if I wanted to. I'm yours. You may not be mine. But I'm yours.... completely yours." He takes deep breaths in and out slowly.

I just stare at this man. This man who's just given me his heart and soul. This man who loves me more than anyone's ever loved me. And I feel tears fill my eyes.

"Ames." He begins, waking over to me. "I'm sorry if I- well I didn't mean to make you upset. Or to-"

I cut him off with a kiss.

He's shocked. But sinks into it and wraps his arms around my waist.

"Wait." He pulls away for a moment. "Does this mean you-?"

I cut him off. "I love you too you idiot."

This time he kisses me. I smile into the kiss.

There's a noise.

We pull away.

Jake grabs my hand and pulls me out of there.

"We should text the nine nine." Jake whispers, pulling his phone out.

"Why?" I ask, looking around.

"Because I just saw a group of criminals standing over there." Jake rolls his eyes. "God why must criminals form big groups."

~~~~

Terry and the rest of the nine nine follow Jake and I down a hallway.

"Why is Gina here?" I whisper to him.

"Not quite sure." Terry shakes his head. "I think she was hanging out with Rosa."

"Where's Boyle?" I then ask.

"He's out on a date." He replies, shoving his hands in his pockets. "With some girl named Genevieve."

"Peralta." A voice calls. "It seems you've invited some friends."

We turn around to see a man around 6'2 with red hair and emerald eyes stand there before us. I believe his name is Paul. Jake told me about him. He killed a bunch of people at his sisters wedding but was never arrested. No one could find him.

"I've invited my friends as well." He continues just as men surround us. "Yay!" Paul gushes. "This'll be so much fun. A reunion!"

Jake's jaw clenches.

"I'm sure some of you recognize each other." Paul smiles creepily. "Anyhow let's get this party started. Shall we?"

I look to Jake.

Then.....almost in slow motion.....everything.......goes black.
