PART ONE
HOUR 2 OF 24
โWait, guys. Iโm getting a call, and itโs from Y/nโs number!โ Kim immediately stood up, raising her phone in the air to show everyone the contact name flashing on her phone. Jay was soon by her side, desperate to hear Y/nโs voice once again.ย
โAnswer it then!โ Adam insisted, grabbing the phone out of the womanโs hand and answering it, to release the growing anxiety from his body from the phone continuing to buzz. Placing it on the desk, the unit gathered around as the call was put on speaker.ย
โY-Y/n?โ Kim called out, the fear clear in her voice which made her cringe at the sound of. There was rustling on the end of the line, and everyone waited anxiously for something to happen.ย โY/n are you there?โ
โWait you want me to read that?ย Fucking hell which one of you idiots wrote this? I can barely make out what it says, itโs like a child wrote it.โ Y/nโs giggles were caught by the microphone of the phone, and everyone seemed to relax at the sound. She still sounded as teasing as every, that was for sure. Jay felt the tightness in his chest release a little, feeling better knowing that she was indeed still alive. Adamโs previous comment about them shooting her had of course been an attempt at humour, but it seemed to strike up something in Jay that he hadnโt been able to disarm for the last 60 mins.
Noticing the Jayโs rigid posture, Kevin placed a hand on his shoulder, offering a comforting smile when he turned to look who it was. Jay nodded his head in appreciation, before turning back to the phone, wishing he could just be standing in front of Y/n instead of staring at a phone screen. Having not had her close in so long, his skin had began to sting as if in withdrawals. It was so painful, and Jay just wished they had a lead.ย
There was some bustling and commotion on the other end of the line, which mostly sounded like Y/n squabbling about the note that they must have wanted her to relay. In a way it was a blessing as it gave Mouse enough time to set up his computers and devices to start tracing the call.ย
โIโm just gonna wing it,โ Y/n mumbled, clearing her throat in preparation.ย โKimmy, you there?โย
โYes!โ Kim jumped a little too quickly, instantly regretting it as everyone looked up at her. For an experienced member of the unit, it was very rare to see her act so clumsily.ย โY-Yeah, Iโm here.โย
โHey girl! Long time no speak, how you doing?โ Kim frowned, eyes flicking over to Jay whose eyes were rolling at the laid back conversation his girlfriend was trying to start, despite most likely having a gun or three pointed at her head. Oh how she was going to get the scolding of her life, and then be held close to him at all times for he never wanted to be away from her ever again.ย
โUh, not great?โ Kim hesitated. Y/n awed down the line, snapping at one of the abductors that clearly was not pleased with her side tracking.ย
โOkay basically these fellas want you guys to know that tomorrow at 10am, you have to deliver the money to the lake at St Jamesโ park. You know the one I bet Adam to jump in that time when we were drunk? Anyways, one of the guys will be there to collect the money and once theyโve confirmed the amount theyโll let me go. But, you know, of course if you donโt or you play games or whatever thenย I'll die, blah blah blah.โ Y/n yawned, as she trailed off at the end not interested in what she was saying.ย โDid I miss anything, boys?โย
โY/n-.โ Jay went to speak up but before he could finish saying her name, the phone was hung up and the room was left in a painful silence. The frustration rose in Jay as he let out a painful groan that rumbled through his body viciously, walking away from the group and out of the unit. Heย didnโt want to be around anyone in that moment.

HOUR 5 OF 24
โSo...โ Y/n hummed pouting her lips out as she looking up at the ceiling, admiring the spots where water had damaged the plastering.ย โHow long of you guys been, you know, kidnapping?โ Sitting up straight once again, she looked around to see no one in the chatty mood. Only two of the three men were currently in the room, the grumpy older leader guy having left to take a call an hour ago.
There was a long painful silence as neither men planned on answering yet another dumb question shot their way. Both couldnโt comprehend how someone so... Y/n-like could ever be a detective or a police official in general. The urge to shoot her every time she opened her mouth couldnโt be something only they suffered with, they were sure of that.ย
โI mean he's only young, you look like my little brother,โ Y/n gestured to the scrawny young faced man that was unloading and reloading his gun over and over again.ย โHeโs a little shit as well.โ She grumbled.
--
HOUR 11 OF 24
โHave you lads ever thought of maybe sprousing this place up a little,โ Y/n asked as she leant back in the wooden chair that sheโd been bound to for nearly five days now. Her eyes zipped around the dark, cold cellar - or what she assumed was a cellar - that had become her temporary residence.ย โYou know, maybe aย โLive, Laugh, Loveโ sign and some fairy lights would distract your guests from the pissy stench in here.โ Looking around, Y/n could see how each syllable out her mouth grated on the souls of the three men that were slumped around the room, their guns still very much pointed in her direction, none of them able to predict her next move.ย
โPlease remind me why we canโt just shoot her?โ One of the abductor looked towards the leader with a look of desperation that had come with listening to Y/nโs stories. Sheโd spared zero details when telling them about quite possibly every person sheโd ever come into contact with. It seemed the more she talked the more they got annoyed, and thatโs when they started making mistakes. Mistakes that Y/n knew could help her in the long run.ย
โBecause if we kill her, they wonโt pay us the money. And if they donโt pay us the money then we might as well just hand ourselves in.โ The man grumbled, leaning back to rest his head against the grey wall with a defeated sigh.ย
โHoly shit,โ Y/n suddenly sat up, catching all the men off guard as they took the safety off their weapons and pointed them aimed directly at her head. Y/nโs eyes were wide but not with fear of the imminent death she faced, but something - in her opinion - far more harrowing.ย โWhat time is it? What time is it?โ Looking around frantically, this was the most panic any of the men had seen the woman in. The bald man looked down at the watch he was wearing.ย
โUh, 9:26pm.โ He recited.ย
โFuck sake,โ Y/n grumbled, kicking her legs against those of the metal chair in frustration, as her bottom lip poked out.ย โI hope you fellas are happy. I am missing The Kardashians for this shit.โ All the men frowned, anger running through their veins upon realising they had been played once again. The leader of the pack of criminals kicked the wall behind him before storming off out of the cellar clearly needing a breather from the mind game Y/n had them trapped in. Whistling upon watching his reaction, Y/n turned to look at the two remaining men.ย โHeโs such a Kourtney, right? I knew it as soon as I met him.โ
The men rolled their eyes slumping back into their earlier positions, wishing to drown out the sound of Y/nโs voice, which after nearly a week with minimal liquids and constant chatter was hoarse and painful to listen to in moderation.
โBaldy has to be a Kim, there is no denying that great ass,โ Winking in the manโs direction, the comparison was not appreciated but was not punished either.ย โAnd then obviously babyface is Kylie. Discuss amongst yourself of course, but I know Iโm right.โย
โWe really should have brought some fucking duck tape to shut this bitch up.โ The bald man growled.ย
โI never had you down as the kinky type.โ Y/n hummed.
--
HOUR 19 OF 24
โIs that your boyfriend?โ Y/n was starting to doze off when the baby faced abductor held up her phone and pointed towards the picture that decorated her background.ย
She couldnโt help but smile seeing Jayโs face, even if itย wasnโt in the flesh. It had been taken maybe a month ago when they were both drunk, Y/nโs hand had been squishing Jayโs cheeks together which looked incredibly adorable enough for Y/n to take about 300 photos of him until she found her favourite. Ever since it had been the first thing sheโd see when picking up her phone, knowing it could make her feel 10 times better.
โThe one and only.โ Y/n confirmed with a slight nod of her head, feeling the exhaustion roll off her body at the mention of the handsome man that she imagined was equally pissed off at her as he was worried. She could picture the look on his face during the ransom video and the phone call, listening to her enjoying her time despite her life being at risk. But angry Jay was definitely in her top 5 favourite moods of her boyfriend. It sounded a little strange, but it was the truth.
โYou are right he is hot,โ The man hummed, admiring the picture before showing it to his bald counterpart that nodded in agreement. But his face was still cold, as he went back to counting his bullets.ย โHow did you guys get together?โ
โSeriously?โ The other man asked, looking up to the younger man with an incredulous look. After all the hours they had been begging for the woman to be quiet and this moron was encouraging her to continue? Not to mention there was no need for any of them to know any more about the womanโs life than what she had already given up for free - which was a lot.ย
โDo we really have anything better to do?โ He snapped.
โDonโt pretend like you donโt wanna know too, baldy,โ Y/n ignored the protests and began to reminisce.ย โI joined the unit like... 5 years ago? He was put with me on my first case with the team and you know he was this hot, donโt fuck with me, slightly older type of guy and I... well I donโt have a dad so perfect, you know?โ Both men nodded.ย โSo we started hooking up casually, and then like any friends with benefits situation we became overly attached to one another and started hooking up as boyfriend and girlfriend. Romantic, isnโt it?โ
The two men looked at one another with wide eyes, but the woman didnโt notice for she was lost in a loving memory. A stable warm smile on her face as she thought about how young they had been and how far they had come.
--
HOUR 21 OF 24
โKnowing we only have a few hours left being with each other, I have a confession to make,โ Y/n yawned, eyes closed as her head lulled back in a position that looked painful but was surprisingly comfortable. She could really go for a nap right now, but she refused to leave herself vulnerable.ย โI donโt really want to go back. Iโve got work on Monday and I canโt be fucked-. I really canโt be bothered. My boss is doing my absolute tits in at the moment.โ Y/n groaned, thanking the man that held a glass of water to her lips.ย
โHow come?โ Babyface asked, taking a seat on a couple of piled up boxes. His hands abandoning the gun besides him and instead focusing on lighting up a cigarette. Offering it towards Y/n, the kidnapped woman declined.ย
โThe man hates love!โ She exclaimed, head looking up against and her eyes wide with passion.ย โHe sees me and my boyfriend look at each other and suddenly we are being lectured about keeping it in our pants. Itโs like you get caught shagging in the unit a few times and suddenly you are unprofessional. Crazy, right?โ She scoffed, looking at her captor who hummed in agreement.ย
Y/n wasnโt sure how it had got to this, but for the last couple of hours she had formed a friendship of sorts with one of the men - aka Baby face. It was the other twoโs mistake to leave the man alone with her, a guy so young with clearly little to no experience at being the abductor in an abduction. Y/n almost felt sorry for him, wanting to give him pointers on how to come off more... intimidating. But instead chose to tell him more anecdotes about her life which the man seemed to eat up now unlike before.ย
โYou know I have this friend that I think youโd love. I mean she is a cop, but Iโve always been a fan of those enemy to lover tropes.โ The man tilted his head, seeming slightly confused as to why she would ever want to set one of the people she cared about with a man that had helped in keeping her hostage.ย โKim could do with a bad boy, spice up her life a little you know?โ
โYou are insane.โ Baby face chuckled, and Y/n simply grinned.ย
โYou have no idea.โ
--
HOUR 24 OF 24ย
When the boss came stomping back into the room, Y/n nearly fell straight to the floor. Her body jumping up from where she had been semi-napping, along with the two men that had also been sleeping against the wall. The two men shot to their feet, not wanting to let the man that was twirling his gun around like a toy that they had been relaxing.ย
โItโs time.โ He growled, looking at both of his coworkers with a knowing look. Y/nโs head was a little fuzzy from the lack of sleep and slight food deprivation, so much so that she struggled to work out what was going on.ย โTerry, you should go meet them at the park.โ
โT-Terry, huh?โ Y/n smirked, looking at the bald man.ย โYou look like a Terry, Terry.โ She confirmed, watching as he rolled his eyes and stood up, and walked over to the man, exchanging his large gun for a smaller hand gun.ย
โAnd remember when you have the money text the secret code.โ
โI know the plan, Dave.โ Suddenly Y/n burst out into laughter, so much so the chair beneath her began shaking.
โYour name is Dave? Stop. Stop it, Iโm gonna pee.โ She insisted, tears in the corner of her eyes which cleared some of the dirk from her face as they fell down her cheeks. The youngest man that was in the corner had to cover his mouth to stop himself from exposing his entertainment at the womanโs attitude.
โJust go.โ And just like that Terry left with laughter following him out. As Y/n began to cool down, she suddenly noticed Dave standing over her, a wicked look in his eyes.ย โFor the mean time, I think we could all do a little break from you,โ frowning in confusion, suddenly the butt of the manโs gun came down onto the womanโs head knocking her out cold in seconds.ย โAh, silence. Why didnโt we do that days ago?โ
--
2.5 HOURS SINCE DROP OFF
โWhere the fuck is he?โ Y/n had been enjoying the inside of her mind, when the sound of Daveโs voice began to send it crumbling back into reality. Wanting to let out a groan as the throbbing in her head became more apparent, she repressed it wondering what the men were saying whilst they thought she was passed out.ย โItโs 6pm, he should have texted us by now.โ
โMaybe he hasnโt got signal?โ Baby face offered, his voice wavering showing his internal fear clearly in his tone. But something told Y/n it wasnโt Terry he was worried about.ย
โCome on, Billy.โ The older man scolded.ย โHe hasnโt texted because clearly theyโve got to him.โ Paranoia laced his voice so much so it coaxed Y/nโs eyes opened to watch as the manโs face began scrunching up in thought. His feet slapping against the floor as he paced back and fourth.ย โYou know what that means, right? We gotta get rid of her, now.โ
Shit, Y/n thought fidgeting in her seat wanting to rip herself free of all the ropes but knowing she had no such strength when she was health and not held for nearly 5 days, let alone in her current condition.ย
โLetโs not be too hasty-.โ Billy tried to reason with him, his eyes flicking to Y/n His shoulders relaxed ever so slightly upon realising that she wasnโt dead like he had previously thought the last three times heโd checked her pulse.ย
โHasty? Hasty?โ Dave roared, grabbing the young man by the collar of his shirt.ย โDo you want to go to prison, kid?ย โCause thatโa where weโll end up if we stay here and wait for them to come and get us. We gotta get rid of the hostage and get our asses on the next plane out of here.โย
โC-Canโt we just let her go?โ Billy offered, and it was then that Y/nโs concussed brain put together the obvious clues that the kidnapper was worried... about her? Maybe they were friends after all.ย
โOf course! Why didnโt I think of that?โ Dave let Billy go and threw his arms in the air, as the sarcasm flowed out his mouth.ย โI mean she onlyย knows our names and our faces. Wow, why didnโt I think of justย โletting her goโ?โย
โAww,โ Y/n cooed croakily, grabbing both of the menโs attention. Dave seemed alarmed and frustrated having been thrown back into the game he never thought heโd have to play with their hostage.ย โYou two are like a married couple, itโs so cute.โย
โThatโs it.โ Dave grabbed his gun and came marching up to Y/nโs side, taking off the safety he pressed it to Y/nโs temple. His teeth were clamped together, bared towards the woman who simply smirked up at him with a calm look upon her face. The man seemed to be hoping for a bigger reaction as his face reddened in anger.ย โWhat the fuck is wrong with you? Iโm going to kill you.โ
โBring. It. On.โ Y/n squinted, staring the man straight in the face, silently threatening him to go ahead with his plan. She could feel his hand shaking, with the gun pushing deeper into her temple.ย
โNo!โ Billy called out, and suddenly the gun Dave carried was turned and shot out towards the young guy. Y/n watched in silent horror as the bullet split through the air and collided with Billyโs leg, sending him hurdling back into a stack of boxes. The man cries were haunting, echoing around the cellar.ย
The gun soon returned against Y/nโs head, but her eyes didnโt even glance back at Dave. Her eyes were glazed over in numbness as she watched the man sheโd grown to like - all things considered - rolling around on the floor.ย
โAny last words?โ Dave whispered into her ear.ย
โNah Iโm good,โ Y/n shrugged,ย โFire away, David.โย
Not saying anything else, Y/n shut her eyes and prepared for the impact. She focused on the sound of Billyโs shaky breath and whimpers, and just as she thought the blast was coming there was a sudden crash.ย
โChicago PD, put your hands up!โ Kevin yelled as him, Kim, Adam and a bunch of other officers came running down the stairs and through the metal door. Their large guns pointed towards Dave and the bleeding Billy whose hands were instantly in the air, bloody from where theyโd been pressed against his wound.ย
โDrop the weapon and put your hands up!โ Kevin ordered once more as Dave seemed to be conflicted, with his gun slipping against Y/nโs skin. The woman whose eyes were now open and wide, felt all the adrenaline that sheโd been surviving off since she had been taken disappear as her rescuers entered the room.ย โI wonโt warn you again, we will shoot.โ And suddenly the weapon was being placed on the floor and Dave slowly raised his hands.ย
โY/n!โ Kim yelled, rounding the men that tackled Dave to the floor and the other officers going to detain and assist with Billy. Kim crouched down in front of the woman who instantly grinned at the sight of her best friend, whose fingers were fiddling with her restraints.ย
โKimmy,โ She slurred, eyes blinking slowly as she let her body sway woozily.ย โI knew youโd find me.โ As the tightness around her limps subsided, Y/nโs consciousness began to slip away from the ropes.ย
โHey, hey stay awake.โ Kim lightly tapped her cheeks, trying to avoid the bruises that looked to be beginning to heal.ย โSomeone call Halstead and an ambulance!โ Was the last thing Y/n heard as the light disappeared completely.ย
โJay...โ
--
Jayโs boots squeaked against the hospital flooring as he ran through the entrance of the ER. His head nearly turned 180 degrees as he searched for someone to ask about the location of his girlfriend. Ever since heโd got called out of the interrogation room with one of the abductors to be told that Y/n was found and had been rushed to hospital, his body felt ten times heavier than usual.ย
โJay!โ Spotting Adam with blood covering his hands, Jay felt his heart stopped beating, as he froze. Every muscle in his body froze, his eyes hyper focused on the red stains.ย โHey-,โ Adam noticed his wayward eyes and followed their faze to his hands, and instantly shut down his nightmares.ย โItโs alright, itโs alright this isnโt her blood. Did you hear me? This isnโt Y/nโs blood, itโs one of the abductors.โ
Jayโs hands instantly went to his hair, running through the dark strands that were damp from the rain during his run from where heโd parked to the hospital. Taking a deep breath, he was reunited with the beating of his heart as he followed Adam through the halls in the direction of his girlfriendโs room.ย
โIs she... okay?โ The man asked quietly, looking over at his close friend. His eyes lit up with fears, as he wiped away the sweat from his forehead and wiped it on his trousers. Adam hesitated, humming in agreement.ย
โOkay as she usually is. The doctors recon sheโs in shock, but Iโve been telling them thatโs just who she is.โ Adam snorted, wrapping his arm around Jayโs shoulders in a comforting hug of sorts. Jay let out a small smile at the thought of Y/n chatting like she loved to do, but then remembered how she ended up in the hospital and what he had seen during the ransom video yesterday.
Just as he was about to say something, the two of them heard a chorus of laughter from a room they were approaching. One of the main contributors being a sound that theyโd grown to love. Looking towards Adam, the man seemed to be equally confused as it was definitely not the room heโd visited Y/n in earlier. Both men sped up and pushed the slightly closed door open wider.
โ... I saw myself in the reflection of that camera and I saidย โIf I look that fat, just shoot me alreadyโ!โ Y/n joked, as she leant back in the wheelchair with bandages wrapped around her head, along with both her wrists and ankles. However instead of being sat at the side of her own bed, instead she was by the side of the shot kidnapper, surrounded by the officers that were suppose to be guarding the room but were instead laughing at Y/nโs anecdote.ย
โWhat th- What are you doing in here?โ Jay fumed, taking a step forward away from Adam and into the room to expose everyone to his presence. The man that was laying down, cuffed to the hospital bed, jumped in surprise, whilst the officers had a look of guilt on their face. Y/n didnโt seem bothered at all though, throwing her arms up in the air in excitement at the sight of her boyfriend but cursing when feeling the pain shoot around her body.ย
โBaby!โ She cheered, smiling innocently noting the crossed arms and grumpy look on Jayโs face as he had his eyes focused on her. The tension was suffocating, an environment that Y/n didnโt exactly thrive in.
โWow, you were right,โ Billy glanced over to Y/n.ย โHe is even hotter in person.โ Jay grumbled incoherently at the comment, eyes narrowing at the man that she was half tempted to shoot in his other leg for being a contributing factor in the injuries his girlfriend was sporting and the separation theyโd been forced to experience due to him taking her away from him.ย
โBaby,โ Y/n hummed, putting extra effort into fluttering her eyelashes in hopes of tricking him into not being mad at her.ย โThis is Billy, Billy meet Jay. Billy and I became friends after he stopped pointing his gun at me every time I breathed.โ Y/n smiled, patting Billyโs hand. And suddenly Jay couldnโt take it anymore, rounding the bed, his hands gripped the handles of Y/nโs wheelchair.ย
โIf you guys let her a metre within this room again you can say goodbye to your badges.โ Jay growled, not sparing Billy another look as he pushed Y/n out of the room despite her protests. Passing Adam, the man didnโt bother following them, figuring they definitely neededย โcouple timeโ to talk about... whatever that was.ย
โJay.โ She whined, her head lulling back to look up at the grumpy face staring straight ahead with that fiery look in any other circumstances heโd find incredibly hot.ย
โDonโtย โJayโ me.โ Even though it was very clear she was about to receive the telling off of her life, Y/n was glad that she got to at least be scolded with him there with her. The feeling of him being in her presence was a pain killer no hospital could ever prescribe. Noticing her gushy eyes sparkling up at him, he had to repress his smile and focus on his overwhelming frustration.ย
Arriving at her room, Jay assisted Y/n back into bed in silence. Placing a blanket over her legs, he pulled a chair up to the side of her bed but didnโt sit, instead moving to stand at the end of her bed with a frown and narrowed eyes. Opening his mouth, Y/n raised her bandaged hand and stopped him.ย
โI know what you are going to say-.โย
โYou do, do you?โ Jay scoffed, shaking his head as he moved his eyes to look anywhere else afraid heโd crack if he kept admiring her face like he was. Y/n hummed, letting out a small yawn as she cozied down into the comfort of her bed.ย
โYou sayย โIย canโt believe how reckless you have been. Do you know what could have happened to you?โโ Her eyebrows knitted together like Jayโs already was.ย โAnd then normally itโs something along the lines ofย โYou canโt keep running your mouth off at people with gunsโ. Then we have hot angry sex, we both start feeling bad thatย I've upset you and youโve shouted at me and then we have phenomenal make up sex. Was I right?โ Raising her eyebrow, the couple stared at each other in silence as it became more apparent that sheโd hit the nail on the head.ย โI rest my case.โย
Jay stayed silent for moment.ย
โI canโt believe how reckless you have been!โ Jay yelled, throwing his hands in the air, causing Y/n to laugh at the fact sheโd been correct. She watched as Jay walked back and forth, hands pulling at his hair.ย โYou could have been killed? You know that, I know you know that. Why would you- Why would you think sassing dangerous men with guns was the right approach?โย
โI wasnโt sassing dangerous men with guns,โ she shook her head.ย โI was sassing Dave, Terry and Billy who happened to have guns, they werenโt going to shoot me.โ She insisted, making Jay stand there and stare at her in disbelief at how unbothered she was being.ย
โYou had a gun against your head when the team arrived!โย
โDaveโs a pussy, he would never have done it.โ She snorted, picking at the grapes sat on her table that Kim had brought for her. Jay wanted to shake some sense into the beautiful woman that he would literally die for.ย
โHe literally shot that Billy guy.โ Looking at Y/n for some kind of explanation, the woman just chewed her grape with a thoughtful look on her face.ย
โHmm, you got me there.โ She agreed, wagging her pointer finger of her non-bandaged hand in the direction of her boyfriend. Grabbing the bowl of grapes, she extended it towards Jay.ย โGrape?โย
โI donโt want a grape, Y/n,โ Jay spoke quietly, abandoning his place at the end of the bed and collapsing into the bedside chair. His eyes covered by his hands.ย โI want my girlfriend to understand that she isnโt invincible and that- that I could have lost her today but she doesnโt seem bothered.โ
There was no way to hide away form the guilt anymore. Y/n looked over at way and felt her eyes begin to water as she realised that her attempt at keeping everyone feeling light was hurting the one she loved the most. Carefully, Y/n reached out her hand towards Jay who was slightly too far for her to reach. Just as she went to pull back, Jay must have noticed for he grabbed her hand between both of his.ย
โI'm sorry.โ Her bottom lip trembled, as her eyes watered. Jay quite literally watched as for what felt like the first time in the years heโd known the woman, the what ifs of the situation fell onto her like a ton of bricks.ย โIโm so sorry, Jay.โ Standing up from his seat, Jay released her hand and moved to wrap his arms around Y/n in a firm loving hug.ย
โI didnโt want to upset you,โ He insisted.ย โI just- I love you so much, Y/n. And I love that you are so funny and charismatic,โ Pulling back, Jayโs finger ran down the side of Y/nโs face, smiling as he admired her face up close for the first time in a while. He wondered every day for the last 4 and a bit years how he had ever been so lucky as to know, let alone love, a woman like Y/n.ย โBut sometimes you just need to realise that you arenโt untouchable, you know? And- I donโt want to live in a world without you.โย
Leaning into Jayโs touch, Y/n nodded placing her hand over where Jayโs rested now on the side of her face. Closing her eyes, she focused on the warmth emitting from his palm onto her skin. Opening her eyes once again, she glanced up at Jay in the eyes before flicking her gaze down to her lips.ย
โI love you too, baby.โ She whispered, before she moved her hand behind his head and lead her head down until their lips were pressed against his. If she was being honest the moment sheโd woken up in hospital, she had forced Kim to go and buy her a pack of gum which she chewed all off in preparation for this very moment.
Pulling away, both of them grinned when Jay leaned back and pecked her lips again and again and again. Y/n began to giggle at the feeling of his lips repeatedly tapping herโs, Jay attempting to make up for all the kisses that he had missed during their unplanned time apart.ย
โNot to ruin the mood, but Iโm kind of missing the angry sex part of this scolding.โ Y/n mumbled smirking as Jay started to chuckle, still leant in front of his girlfriend, with now both of Y/nโs hands hooked around the back of the manโs neck.ย
โWell when you get out of here, Iโll pretend to be pissed again and we can finish this the proper way.โ The smirk that the man produced was beautiful, Y/n wished she could take a thousand pictures of it. Nodding repeatedly, the woman felt the excitement make her body buzz.ย โNow you get some sleep, Iโll be right here.โ Returning to his seat, Jay pulled his chair even closer, enough to hold her hand from where he was sat.
Closing her eyes, and leaning deeper into her pillow, Y/n welcomed the backlog of sleep she needed to catch up on. Just before she fully submerged into the pool of unconsciousness, she was reminded of something she needed to tell Jay.ย
โOh and just so you know,โ Y/n muttered, words breathy with tiredness.ย โI may or may not have promised Billy that he could come stay with us once heโs out of prison.โ Jayโs smile dropped, whilst Y/n gripped his hand tighter.ย โI love you.โ
