I was asleep when I heard my phone ring. Jay grunted, I rolled over and picked it up.

"Hello?" I didn't even look at who was calling.

"y/n, we need your help ." I heard Hermann's voice.

"Hermann? What's wrong?" I was suddenly super awake, I sat up on the bed.

Jay turned on the bed to face me. "It's Kelly...He-" Hermann began. I felt my heart drop.

"Kelly? What's wrong? Hermann, what happened?" I urged him to hurry up and tell me.

"We found his car, on a crash scene. He's not picking up and we don't know if he-" Before Hermann could finish I hung up rushing to get ready.

"Babe is everything alright?" Jay started questioning getting up and starting to get dressed himself.

I was dialing so I didn't answer him. "Hank? Hey- you need to come with me, Severide could possibly be involved in a hit and run." I told him.

"Alright, meet you at his place," Hank answered and hung up.

"Kelly what?" Jay asked surprised.

"They think he hit someone and ran because his car was found at the scene and there's a mother and child in the hospital and Kelly's not answering his phone." I started rambling.

"Hey, hey hey, calm down." Jay grabbed my hands. "We'll figure this out okay." He tried calming me.

I ran a hand through my hair stressed. "He didn't do it, Jay, he just...couldn't have," I told Jay trying to convince myself more than him.

Hank and I got to Kelly's apartment, we knocked and Kelly came to answer. When he opened we saw him looking hungover as ever with a cut to his forehead, blood dripping down from it.

I sighed starting to question the verity of the situation. "Kelly, grab your jacket you need to come with us." Hank told him. I kept my head down trying to keep it together.

"y/n what's going on? What is this?" Kelly started asking me. Hank noticed I was struggling to hold everything back.

"We'll talk at the station, c,mon." Hank told Kelly again.

"Bear look at me, what did I do?" I looked up at Kelly. I couldn't help but tear up a little.

"Just come with us Kelly...please." was all I said.

Once Kelly was at the station Hank asked me to stay back and not participate in the interrogation with Kelly since I was too close. Erin and Hank went in and Kelly explained how he was in a bad mood because of what was going with Anna and her chemo. But he still wasn't able to remember if he drove the car or not or how he got his injury.

"I'm sorry Kelly but we're gonna have to lock you up for now," Hank told Kelly. I felt completely useless not being able to get Kelly out of this situation and knowing that this wasn't looking good for him.

After the interrogation was done and Kelly walked out I met him. "We're gonna figure this out okay." I tried to force a smile.

"Bear, I need you to promise me something," Kelly told me.

"What?" I knew where this was going.

"If I did it... if it was me... I need you to lock me up and don't try to get me out." Hank, Erin and Jay were all there listening to us.

"Kelly don't, you didn't-" I tried to tell him.

"y/n, promise me." Kelly locked eyes with me.

I thought about it but I shook my head. "You listen to me, I know you, and you didn't do this, so quit lying to yourself. You promise me you will try your hardest to remember what happened." I argued back walking past everyone heading to my desk to start making some phone calls.

"y/n-" Jay tried to stop me.

"Jay! don't-" I didn't know what he was gonna say but I didn't care, I needed to help my best friend.

I had finished making phone calls to the restaurant asking for security footage as well as for any surrounding places when Al came back. "The mother, she's out of critical condition." He put his head down. "The little girl, she didn't make it." I heard him tell Hank in his office.

I shook my head knowing this was only getting worse and worse for Kelly. I saw as Erin got up to the board adding a question mark next to the words 'Vehicular homicide' next to a picture of Kelly.

I shot her a smile. "We don't know what happened yet," Erin spoke to the team as they just stared.

"I mean we have a pretty good view on the facts," Jay spoke next to me. My head snapped in his direction but he was avoiding eye contact with me.

"If it was you wouldn't you want us to give you the benefit of the doubt?" Erin argued.

"If I got plastered and murdered a little girl, no, I wouldn't deserve it." Jay answered.

I was completely taken aback by Jay's attitude. "Deserve?" I got up and Jay finally turned to look at me. "This is about what he deserves now?" Jay kept his mouth shut. "I'll tell you what he deserves, he deserves for us to turn every single rock until we find out exactly what happens before we label him as a murderer, that's what he deserves Jay." I smacked my hand down on his desk angrily.

Jay kept avoiding me during the investigation. And just as I feared, things kept looking worse for Kelly. I went down to talk to him a few times trying to get him to remember but it was no use. I was walking back upstairs when I bumped into Jay. He tried to keep walking.

"Hey, what the hell was that all about?" I questioned him.

"I'm just saying that you should maybe start accepting the fact that he did this." Jay avoided my eyes.

"Do you really believe that?" I was getting really upset with him.

"He has a history of substance abuse, all the evidence-"Jay started again.

"Jay shut up with your damn evidence, listen I know you've never been a fan of Kelly but this is just insane. I know him! I know he didn't do this! Why can't you just believe me." He didn't say anything. I scoffed, shaking my head and walking away from him.

After further investigating Atwater found a GPS tracker under Kelly's car and after following that lead we were able to determine that we were possibly following a robbery crew. We set up at the bar Kelly was last seen at to see if we could see anything.

We were able to bust a guy when we saw him putting a tracker on one of the cars and he gave us enough information to be able to follow another lead.

"Alright y/n and Jay, you're stationing in the car, keeping a lookout for the suspect," Hank instructed us.

It was already dark out, Jay and I sat in the car in silence waiting for the suspect to appear. "Look I'm sorry." Jay started apologizing.

I laughed at his apology. "This is not the time." I stopped him.

"Why is it funny?" He started getting defensive.

"I don't know Jay, I'm sorry if I find it kind of funny that after you start acknowledging the possibility that Kelly didn't do this you're suddenly sorry after practically trying to convince the team otherwise." I blew up at him.

"That's not what happened!" Jay had raised his voice too. "Look I'm f*cking sorry if I doubted your lover, I didn't realize you'd get like this about him" Jay spoke.

I turned to face him just hurt. "Unbelievable." I was so tired of the same thing. We then saw movement. We knew that we had to kiss to act casual. We both leaned in reluctantly and started making out, Jay keeping an eye out for the car.

We were only able to see the car a couple of seconds before it took off letting us know he had made us. Jay and I began pursuit as well as Hank and Al and Kim and kev. We were speeding through the streets chasing after the black Camaro. Atwater and Burgess ended up getting hit by a bus and we lost the suspect.

We kept pushing for more and more leads, and we were able to find something. I was standing behind the two-way mirror, Jay beside me. We were able to figure out Kelly got his injury after he got hit in the head with a gun, by one of the men from the robbery crew who then stole his car and caused the crash.

I felt a huge sigh of relief but was still mad at Jay's attitude towards this whole situation. I was gonna walk out of the room when Jay stepped in front of me. "y/n wait-"

I pushed past him. "I don't have time, I have to set an innocent man free." was all I said as I kept walking out of the room.

Kelly wanted nothing more than to get home.

"Thank you so much Bear for never doubting me." He gave me a big hug and kissed my cheek.

"Of course, just go talk to Anna please and don't ever scare me like that again." I pulled him into a hug again.

"Thank you guys, for everything." Kelly turned to the team. Everyone nodded and I saw Jay keep his head down.

I was grabbing my things from my desk, everyone else had already left. Jay walked over to me.

"y/n can you please listen to me." Jay stood in front of my desk.

I slammed my drawer closed. "I'm just so sick of hearing the same thing Jay. Look I was angry but I got the fact that you doubted Kelly okay, things were looking really bad. But you know what hurt me the most, when you were being accused of murdering Lonnie despite any doubts I had I was there for you, I took your word before anyone else. When Will was being accused of murdering those nurses I stood by you and took YOUR word before anyone else." I began stepping towards him. "Today when my best friend was being accused of murder, what did you do Jay? Were you even there for me? Did you take MY WORD before anyone else?"

Jay looked into my eyes and I could see the guilt in them. "No." he answered honestly.

"No Jay, instead you accused me of supporting my best friend and believing in him because he is my "lover"." I finished.

"I'm sorry, I-" Jay started apologizing again.

"Jay I don't want you to tell me what you think I want to hear. You hurt me today Jay, you really hurt me and I need you to understand that." I felt tears streaming down my cheeks. "Look no matter what I say you won't let go of the fact that Kelly and I are just friends, you don't trust me." I was crying.

"So what does this mean?" Jay asked me.

"I don't know Jay, I love you I really do but I can't keep having the same argument with you" I let him know walking past him to start heading down.

I looked back and Jay was standing in the same spot with his head in his hands. "Are you coming home?" I asked.

"What? I thought-" He turned to me confused.

"Jay we fought okay, but I'm not gonna give up or run away every time we fight, and I hope you don't either." I told him.

I headed down to my car and headed home.

______

About an hour later Jay arrived home too. "Can we talk?" Jay walked over to the couch where I was sitting and sat next to me.

I nodded. "Listen, I am sorry for the way I behaved today. You're right, I should've been there for you just like you're always there for me. I still have trouble wrapping my head around the fact that Kelly and you are just friends but it's not because I don't trust you, it's because I don't trust him. Look, anyone would be crazy not to fall in love with a woman like you and you guys are so close I just fear that one day you'll realize he's a better man than I am. I love you and I don't want to lose you." Jay finished.

"Kelly's a great man, but he's not you and I don't want to loose you either. Thank you for apologizing and listening to me." I took his hand.

"Thank you for being so patient with me." Jay was gonna get up and walk away but I grabbed his hand.

"Stay here with me please." I insisted.

He smiled and sat back down scooting closer to me, he put his arm around my shoulder pulling me into him. I lifted the blanket over the both of us and we watched some tv together.
