Kim's P.O.V
It was one of those days. One of those days where you just wished that the world was sunshine and rainbows, but you knew that it wasn't. It was a rough day for all of us, especially Jay. He had to watch a teenage boy die because we were too late. He was on sniper duty like normal. The suspect that we were about to get took a teenage boy, and held a gun to his head. Jay had the shot, but waited because we were trying to talk him down. Jay was a second to late when the suspect pulled the trigger. It wasn't Jay's fault, but knowing him he was going to blame himself. It used to be Erin that comforted him. They were together, and before that they were partners. That was one of the jobs that you had to do when you had a partner. Be there for each other on the hard days. Hailey was his partner now, but she and Adam went off together saying something about a date. Kevin, Voight, and Antonio have already headed out. That just left me to make sure Jay doesn't beat himself up too much. Because that's what a team does.
He was still at his desk doing some sort of paperwork. It could wait till tomorrow. I've already got most of mine done. I just didn't want to go home right now. Jay probably felt the same. That was it. I made up my mind. I was going to help Jay, and the first step was get him away from work. I get up, and go over to his desk. He doesn't even look up.
"Hey, do you want to go get some late night dinner? Neither one of us need to be here any longer." He didn't even look up. He just nodded and grabbed his stuff.
We decided to take his car to go to a small diner that Jay knew. We didn't really talk in the car. There was a comfortable silence.
We didn't really talk until we got the food. After that it was us just sharing stories of the past. It seemed like there was a silent agreement to not mention what happened that day. We had finally finished our food, and when we were going to the car Jay asked,
"Do you want to come back to my place and get a beer?" I guess he liked my company. We never really spent any time together. It was either for the job or with the team.
"Yeah that would be nice." Again we don't really talk while we are in the car. It's sort of the norm now.
After we stepped foot into the apartment I could tell that Jay was starting to break. It only took one drink, and me giving him a hug before he breaks.
I end up staying the night. Jay let me borrow some clothes to sleep in. He basically forced me to take the bed, while he took the couch. That didn't last long because Jay ended up having a nightmare. I don't if it was of the war or what happened that day. It seemed like a combination of both. I was able to calm him down, and talk him into sleeping on the bed with me so I could be there if it happened again. He didn't have any other nightmares that night.
