That One Boy | A Upstead Fanfiction

Part 14

It was completely silent. Everyone waited for Will to say something about Kevin's condition. We all waited in silence for about 10 minutes.

Hailey: WILL JUST TELL ME!

Will: Kevin is alive and stable but he is in a coma as of 30 minutes ago. When or if he wakes up he will have to do intense physical therapy to be able to even work a desk job. I don't know if Kevin can ever be a cop again.

I broke down into tears. My best friend probably can never do his dream job again.

Hailey: Can we all see him?

Will: I already put the order in for you and Kevin to share a room.

Hailey: Thanks Will.

Vin was still on my bed but now she was full on crying. These kids can't lose their older brother. Vin looks up at me and asks.

Vin: Where are we going to stay?

Hailey: Well, you guys are going to stay with me.

Vin: What if he never wakes up.

Jordan: Hey, don't even think about it. Kevin is really strong and he will get out of it.

Vin: But even if he does he will be depressed he won't be able to do the job he loves.

Then we all see a bed roll into my room. It was Kev. I couldn't stay strong for Vin and Jordan. The tears came down and fast. Vin got up and laid in Kev's bed with him and she couldn't hold it in any longer. There he was the love of my life Jay Halstead.

Jay: What happened?

Hailey: Kev and his sister Vin were on their way here. Then he got shot in the shoulder. He's in a coma because of too much blood because the bullet hit a really important vain so he is probably never going to work for the CPD again.

Jay: Omg. He has to work with us again, he is the best detective and an even better friend.

Jay comes and lays with me on my bed. I start to cry again. Jay is running his hands through my hair to calm me down but it doesn't help that I can feel Vin put something in my ear. Then I start to hear it, my favorite song on the planet. Chasing Cars. Somehow Vin knew that this song calmed me down but I don't know how. I only like that song because it was the song that was for my first slow dance But what was even funnier I didn't go to any school dances. My first slow dance was with my big brother Antonio Dawson. I miss him so much. My family is falling apart. Then my phone starts to ring. Antonio wanted to FaceTime. I wiped the tears from my face and I answered.

H: Antonio, It's good to see your face.

A: Why are you crying? Did Jay do something? If so I will fly out there and kick his ass as soon as I can.

J: Uh Oh.

A: You think that's funny Halstead

J: No, not really.

A: Hails why are crying

H: Jay and Erin hooked up before she left for New York. Before me and Jay met. Then she found out she was pregnant and didn't tell Jay that she was pregnant. So she had the baby and was raising him on her own then she died so Jay flew to New York to pick up his kid and bring back to Chicago.

A: Wait Erin Died? How?

H: Yeah but that is not important right now.

A: What do you mean that's not important right now?

H: Kevin is in a coma.

A: What? No he can't be.

H: Will doesn't know if he is ever going to wake up.

A: Who is going to take Vin and Jordan?

H: I will but even if he does wake up he is most likely never going to work for the C.P.D again.

A: Omg god.

J: Hey, Antonio. I hope you don't come and kick my ass. But just so you know. I promised Hailey that I would never hurt her, and I didn't and I will never hurt her. It was her idea for me to take my little boy. She said that I would be the best fit for my little boy and that she would help. I'm going to change his name to Finn Antonio Halstead after you. When you were still here in Chicago you were my idol. I looked up to you since I got to 21. Thank you.

A: If you hurt her in any way.

J: Yeah I know I'm going to get my ass kicked.

H: Talk soon?

A: Yeah Love you.

H: Love you too.

The call ends and I can feel Jay's chest go down because he did not want to be on Antonio's bad side. I mean no one does.

Kim: Hey, why don't we go back to your house and get some stuff and we will have a movie night? How does that sound Vin?

Vin: Sure. Goodnight Hailey. Goodnight Jay. Hailey You promise me as soon as Kevin wakes up you will call me right.

Hailey: Of course Vin. Goodnight.

Jordan: Hailey, I know you're trying to be strong for Vin but I don't need it just tell me I'm I ever going to talk to my big bro again, I miss him already.

Hailey: Well, I miss him too and he is going to wake up maybe not soon but he will.

Jordan: Goodnight Hailey, I'm glad you're awake.

Hailey: Yeah me too. Goodnight Jordan.

After Kim, Vin and Jordan leave I cry and it doesn't stop. Then I hear that song again and I realize Jay was singing. I never heard him sing.

Jay: If I lay here if I just lay here would you lie with me and just forget the world. Let's waste time chasing cars. Around our heads.

Hailey: Wait you sing?

Jay: Yeah.

Hailey: Oh my god you're perfect.

Jay: Hailey, I want to talk to you about Finn

Hailey: We probably should.

I start to cry. The tears were coming down harder and harder.

Jay: Hey Baby, What's wrong?

Hailey: So you know how I said on the phone earlier. That I uh.

Jay: Hey, it's ok take your time.

I knew I could do this because he was always sweet to me even at my lowest.

Hailey: When I was 15. I was kidnapped and sexually assaulted, I ended up killing the guy from self defense so i got away from it, A few weeks later I found out I was pregnant, I decided that I wanted to have the kid because I wanted to give it a better life. I have a beautiful baby girl in my arms. 2 years later right before I found I got into the Academy me and my baby Brooklynn were in a car crash. We were treated at Med. I was Treated by Will. Brooklyn was treated by Nat and Ethen. A few hours later Ethen comes down and says that I lost my baby girl. Then a few hours later the police came and talked with me and Antonio and they said I caused the crash and Antonio got them to not arrest me. Apparently I had drugs in my system, I just don't think I can be a mom just yet. I get If you don't want to be with me any longer.

Jay: Wait? What? Of course I still want to be with you. You know that I will wait for you as long as you need to be ready you know that right,

Hailey: Yeah, Will told me that. You know what. I want to meet Finn.

Jay: Wait what you just said that you aren't ready.

Hailey: Yeah but 2 people once said that you're never going to be ready. Nat and Will

Jay: Are you sure?

Hailey: Yeah I'm sure. Oh and who is Sargent?

Jay; Um, Me.

Hailey: Wait you?

Jay: Yeah I don't know how you would feel about me taking Voight's spot.

Hailey: Jay, I'm happy for you. Hank has told me many times that if Antonio leaves you would be his second pick. Voight would be really proud of you Jay. And so I'm I. Love you.

Jay: I love you too.
