Where We Left Off - The Shield

24. Hotel

Corey

Me and Jay are laying in her room right now, the guys drove us from the hospital to the hotel.

"So have you picked a place yet?" She asked.

"Yeah, next to my grandma here in Chicago." I answered.

"Do you want help getting everything ready?" She asked.

"I can't ask you to do that." I told her.

"I want to, she's was practically my second mom." She said.

"Yeah I know." I said and tried my best not to break down in tears again.

"It's okay to cry Corey." Jay said.

"I know I just, I miss her already and it's only been a few hours. I feel like I'll end up losing my mind when it turns into a few weeks or months." I explained.

"Your gonna be fine,everything will work out like it's supposed to. It's just gonna take a lot of time." Jay explained to me and did her best to comfort me.

"Yeah I guess." I said and wiped my tears away.

"Do you need anything?" She asked me.

"Yeah, I want vodka." I answered and she smiled.

"I'll be right back." She said and went to get that for me and then I heard a knock at the door. I looked up and seen Roman.

"Hey." He said.

"Hi." I said.

"How you holding up? "He asked.

"Um, not so good but I'm sure I will be eventually." I answered.

"I'm really sorry Corey." He told me.

"Me too." I said.

"You don't have to be." He said.

"But I should be, I shouldn't of walked away from you the way I did." I told him.

"We both weren't in a good place at the time, those kinda things happen." He said.

"I guess." I said.

"Hey, I forgive you." He said and I slightly smiled.

"Do you wanna try to work things out?" He asked.

"I do but is now really the right time to?" I asked back.

"We can always wait." He answered.

"Well maybe that's what we need to do, just for a little while. After I take care of my mom, we can talk about us." I told him.

"That's fine." He said and kissed my forehead.

"You know I never stopped loving you." He said to me.

"I don't understand how."I said.

"It's not easy to stop loving someone." He said before walking out because Jay came back in.

"You two okay?" She asked.

"Yeah, we are." I answered.

"Here." She said and handed me a glass that had vodka in it.

"I'm gonna need more than this." I told her.

"I'll go grab the bottle." She said.

"Thanks Jay, for everything." I told her.

"Hey, what are sisters for." She said and I smiled. I think everything is gonna be fine with Roman and Jay. I kinda missed Jay and her wild attitude. Yeah things are gonna get better.
