Jay's P.O.V.
Why did I let her go with him? Her and Hailey were trapped with those men. We were following them right now, but somehow we lost them. All I could think was, 'How could I have let her go with him?" It was my call, and then Hailey made the call to follow. Somehow when Hailey was spotted they managed to not get their cover blown. Right now I wished that the cover would have been blown. I wish she didn't have gotten into that truck. I wish that Kim was in my arms right now.
That's right Kim and I are together. Have been for 6 months in a week. The only one that knew was Voight. We told him after a month because we didn't want there to be a problem. We also expect that Trudy either knows or suspects something because she is always giving us looks. We had been talking about telling the team, but haven't gotten to it yet. I had a feeling that when we finally got the girls back the whole team would find out because I couldn't give a damn about anything until I made sure Kim was ok.
After a while of getting nowhere we finally got a lead. It ended up leading us right to where the girls were. We busted down the door, and got what seemed to be all of the assailants. We checked the rest of the house before finically making our way down to the basement. After everything that had happened that day I finally saw her. Both she and Hailey had bruised eyes, and busted lips. It didn't matter how beat up she looked, Kim has never looked more beautiful. I force myself to push down the anger that comes when she looks up at me. She looks beat, but deep inside her eyes I still see the fighter. I go straight to her, while Voight and Adam go to Hailey who is a little worse off, and work on getting her free. Once she is finally free she falls into my arms. I start to feel slight tears, and I start to whisper,
"It's ok. I got you. Your ok." As I'm lifting her up to take her to get checked up by the paramedics that were brought in. She just kept her arms around my neck. I could already see the questioning glances from Antonio and Kevin because Kim didn't really need to be carried. Hailey wasn't being carried, but I wasn't willing to let her go right now. I place her on the ambo, but before I can even move enough to stand next to her she grabs my hand. We both knew that the team was watching. She just smiled at me to tell me she was ok with it.
"Alright what's going on with you two?" I didn't expect it to be Antonio that asked the question. Maybe Kevin or Adam considering one is like a brother, and the other was engaged to her. You know what Antonio is sort of like both of ours older brother so it really wasn't a surprise.
"We're together . Have been for 6 months next week,." I look down at Kim, and smile remembering what we have planned for our anniversary. I know that some say that 6 months doesn't mean anything, but when you have a job where you put your life on the line everyday you don't take things for granted. Antonio, Kevin, and Hailey seem to be going over some recent events that could have been pointed towards us being a couple. Adam on the other hand.
"6 months? Why haven't you told anyone yet?" He wasn't exactly angered. Maybe disappointed.
"You left Adam. You decided to go undercover without saying a word, and I moved on. You have to Adam, with Hailey. We both knew that we would never work?" Kim was gearing up for a fight. I knew that look in her eyes all too well.
"Why didn't you say anything?" Does a hypocrite sound familiar. I decided that I would stay out of it until it got out of control.
"You didn't tell me about you and Hailey. We were never going to work out, and you know it. Towards the end we were only dragging each other down. Adam, you deserve to be with someone who makes you want to be better not just for them, but for yourself. That was never going to be us. I found that person who makes me want to be better. Now you need to find yours." Did she really just say that? The one thing that we might've taken for granted was never saying 'I love you' yet. I didn't want to rush that, but this was the closest either of us have come to saying anything close to it.
"Are you happy?" Adam was starting to calm down. It probably just threw him through a curve. Kim reacted the same way when she found out about Hailey and Adam. I understood the feeling. It was like mourning a relationship, and accepting it was in the past. I knew it wasn't that she wanted to be with Adam more than me. It was just that she was accepting that it was over. The other had moved on from them.
"More than I ever thought I could. Are you happy Adam? With Hailey?" Of course she had to make sure he was ok. Kim was almost always too compassionate when it came to others. It's one of the things I love about her. I love her. After, today there was no way I was going to take for granted any more time with her without telling her.
"Yeah I am." While that was all going on Kim was being checked over. It seemed that she had a small concussion, but that was it. Hailey had to be checked over a little more, and Voight, Kevin, and Antonio had to go over the crime scene. Voight had told me to take Kim home, and get her some rest. I carried her to the car which she just laughed at, and told me that she could walk. I didn't care. I didn't want to let her go just yet. I finally put her down when we got to her car door. I opened the door, and she got in. I get into the driver's side. Before I turn the car on I turn to her, and grab her hand. Finally, after 6 months I finally say the three words that sum up my feelings for this incredible person in front of me.
"I love you" That's when I realize that she wasn't just a girl that I was dating anymore. She's my world. I watch her smile before her mouth forms the four words that will be imbedded in my mind forever.
"I love you too"
