The scent that you left on my pillow
The sound of your heart beating with mine
The look in your eyes like a window
The taste of your kiss soaked in wine
It's been a week since Jay died. I haven't touched his side of the bed, hell I haven't even slept in the bed. Saying I missed him was an understatement. I haven't been back to work because he jumped in front of me. He took the bullet I was supposed to take.
Every little thing
I remember every little thing
The high, the hurt, the shine, the sting
Of every little thing
I decided today would be the day I go back to work. But first I had to go visit his grave. I put some jeans on with a t-shirt and his jacket. I put my badge on my waistband. I opened the safe to see my gun, his gun and his badge.
I grabbed my keys and drove to the cemetery.
"You said you'd never leave Jay! You lied!"
Guess you forgot what you told me
Because you left my heart on the floor
Baby, your ghost still haunts me
But I don't want to sleep with him no more
Every little thing
I remember every little thing
The high, the hurt, the shine, the sting
Of every little thing
I remember every little thing
The high, the hurt, the shine, the sting
Of every little thing
"I miss you so much Jay." I said before leaving.
I drove to the 21st district where I was greeted with a bunch of "I'm sorry for your losses."
I saw Intelligence working on a case when I walked through the door.
Hailey my best friend came over to me.
"Hey how you feeling?"
"Not great. Being in here makes me remember every detail of how he died."
"I'm so sorry y/n."
They say time is the only healer
God, I hope that isn't right
'Cause right now I'd die to not remember
We found out where the suspect was and thats where we went. Turns out he had a gun. He aimed it at Hailey but I jumped in front of her. I wasn't gonna let another person die.

Hailey shot the suspect who shot y/n.
"10-13 10-13, I got an officer down! I need an ambulance to my location now!" She said into her radio.
Adam and Hailey ran to where she was.
"Y/n got shot in the neck! She's losing a lot of blood." Hailey announced.
"Did you check her pulse?" Kim asked.
"Not yet."
"Well check."
So that's what Hailey did. No pulse.
"Damnit!" She started compressions.
"Hailey."
"No! I'm not losing two partners in the same week."
"Hailey she's gone!"
Finally Hailey gave up.
"Time of death, 12:38." Kim announced.
Hailey got up and went over to Adam.
"She told me she remembered every little thing about the day Jay died. I think she jumped in front of me because she knew she would die."
Adam just hugged Hailey, but what he didn't know was that she was right about one thing. If Jay didn't die, Y/n would have pushed Hailey down to the ground instead of jumping in front of her. She knew she was gonna die, and she was ok with it.
Every little thing
I remember every little thing
The high, the hurt, the shine, the sting
Every little thing
I remember every little thing
I'm haunted by the memories of
Every little thing
The high, the hurt, the shine, the sting
Every little thing
