I looked like shit I felt like shit, I took 4 midol but they weren't working I was having a shit day I had all the emotions I was gonna call in sick but I didn't even have the energy to do that
I had gotten a shower got ready for work and laid back in bed it was 6 am my eyes were watering I'm Alex brooks a detective at the Chicago police department my partner is Jay Halstead
7 am I walked upstairs with sunglasses and a coffee I looked hung over but I wasn't at all
...
I was puking in the trash can in the locker room when jay walks in "hey we got um a case we gotta roll out like now" I gave him a thumbs up
"You good?" "Fantastic" I washed my face and we left
~In the car~
We were driving to the crime scene
"What are you, hung over, had a little to much to drink daddy's girl" "my dads in prison for murdering my older brother when I was 2, so you wanna try that again" he gulped "no ma'am" "I'm not hung over douche bag"
...
The victim was a 17 year old Maya smith
Raped beaten and killed in a park outside her home We gathered all the information and went back to the station we found witnesses, family members, and video footage and phone records from 3 males
Picked them up and now they're being interviewed I went back to the locker room slash bathroom went pee wiped changed my tampon threw the garbage away stood up and flushed pull my pants up and walked out I washed my hands tied my hair back in a bun and threw up in the trash can again
Jay came in again "you come in here after me, everybody is gonna think we're dating" I said in between puking "I'll live, go home if you're sick" "I'm not sick" "ya seem sick" he gave me that look I
washed my face and sat down on a bench with my duffel bag I unzipped it and got a bottle of midol out "are you hung over" he asked "no" "then what's with the drugs" he looked at me "jay I'm not in the mood"
I swallowed 4 midol "so are you on drugs now"
I looked at him like seriously "jay I'm not sick I'm not hung over I'm not getting high" "then tell me what's up with you" "I...I can't" "then I'm telling voight to send you home you can't help me out and cover me if you're puking"
"You can't tell voight" "watch me" he walked out I was upset but jay was right
...
Voight sent me home around 1 I went to the store bought tampons midol anti nausea medication snacks
I laid in bed watched movies and ate ice cream then I did laundry and now I'm taking a hot bath drinking wine in the bathtub it's 6 pm
...
I was wearing (pic above) I got a knock at my door I checked the peep hole and it was jay
"Hey what are you doing here" I locked the door behind him we both sat on the couch
" I came to check on you" "oh" "how are you feeling?" "Better, how'd the case go" "good"
" I also came say that I'm sorry" "for what" "today, I shouldn't of told voight to send you home" "jay you made the right decision, you were right, not about me being hung over or sick, but you're good"
"So then what is wrong" "I'm on my period, and I've shot people... I've been shot and still cramps kick my ass" "oh my god, I'm such an asshole" "no.... Jay you're a good cop and a good friend, you we're protecting both of us and if I were you I would've done the same thing" I explained
There was a brief silence "well I'm gonna go home" he put his hand on my leg and then stood up and was walking towards the door "hey jay?" I called he turned around "yeah" "stay the night" I told him he came back over to the couch and sat down
he took his gun and badge out and set it on the table and took his shoes off I gave him a pair of men's black sweatpants he took his jeans off and put them on and laid on the couch I laid on top of him and we watched a movie and fell asleep
