Changes
Summary: When Lyla’s world is turned upside down, she turns to harmful and unhealthy coping methods.
TW: Self Harm, Alcohol, Substance Abuse, Vaping, Blood, Sexual Assault, Anxiety, Swearing, Awful Writing
Word Count: 7k
Note: Hi! This is the first fanfic I’ve ever posted so it’s kinda bad but oh well lol I hope you like it (:
Lyla woke up in a cold sweat, desperately gasping for air. She sprung up in her bed, clutching her blanket like a lifeline that would help her escape. Obviously, it didn’t work. She told herself to take deep breaths, in and out slowly, and after what felt like forever, her breathing slowed, heart following suit.
She checked the time, groaning softly in annoyance as it was only 2:57 in the morning. She rested her head against her headboard, allowing the tears she felt forming to fall. It was her fault. It wouldn’t have happened if she would’ve just stayed home.
It was supposed to be fun. She was supposed to have a good time, enjoying herself, her brothers not knowing a thing. Of course, Jay and Will would never let Lyla go to a party, but they didn’t have to know, right? It would be fine. Her and her best friend Caleb would sneak away, have a drink or two, then Lyla would make it home before Jay and Will did, since they had to work late anyway. She’d be fine, besides, if anything went wrong, Cal would be there for her.
Well, that’s what Lyla thought, anyway. She had known, trusted, and loved Cal in a platonic way since they were little. They did everything together. They told each other everything. They shared their fears, their insecurities, the problems they each faced as teenagers. They trusted each other. She trusted Cal, until that trust was broken in a way Lyla never imagined possible. Her best friend betrayed her, leaving her to pick up the pieces.
She reached over for the hydro flask on her nightstand and pulled up the straw. She hesitated for a second, knowing she’d regret it later, but took a large sip of the alcohol she put inside, having stolen it from her brothers. It helped her fall asleep, even if it didn’t keep her asleep. She hadn’t been sleeping well since the party. She just wanted to sleep, so badly.
She put her water bottle back on her desk, resting her head on her pillow. What would Jay and Will think, she thought, if they knew what she was doing to herself? If they knew what Cal did to her? She couldn’t tell them, she couldn’t see the look of disappointment on their faces. She couldn’t and she wouldn’t.
After a while she gave up on trying to go to sleep. When she saw that it was only 3:14, she groaned in annoyance and stared up at her ceiling. She thought about how things would be different if she didn’t go to that party. If she would have just listened to Jay and Will, everything would be fine. Why couldn’t she just listen?
Her heart began to race as guilt presented itself. She sat up and put her head in her hands, tugging roughly at her hair as if that would help. When it didn’t and the guilt got worse, she grabbed her phone from her night stand. She then jumped off of her bed and rushed to her bathroom, making sure the door didn’t slam, and locked her door.
She turned on the light and put her hands on the counter, looking at herself in the mirror. She knew she’d feel guilty later, but she told herself it’s what she needed to do, because she’d feel fine now, and the pills would help later. She hesitated for a moment longer, and then grabbed her phone. With shaky hands she removed her phone case, revealing the blade she kept inside.
She grabbed the blade and looked at it for a moment, considering if this would be a good idea. She shook her head as if to shake away those thoughts and carefully set the blade on the counter. She then rolled up the sleeve of her hoodie, revealing the already cut and scarred arm. She took a deep breath, grabbed the blade and put it to her arm. She began cutting, watching as the blade pierced her skin, blood pooling around the blade. She removed the blade, and when the guilt still resided, she made another cut. Guilt finally gone, she rolled her sleeve down, blood trickling down her arm, and made sure no blood was on the ground. After cleaning what was on the ground, she put her blade and phone case back, turned off her light and exited the bathroom.
She laid back down on her bed, putting her phone on her night stand, and pulled her blanket around her. Somehow, and she had no idea how, she managed to fall asleep.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lyla’s somewhat peaceful slumber was interrupted by a knock on her door, making her jump.
“Lyla, it’s 6:00.” Jay announced, and Lyla rubbed her eyes. When she didn’t answer, he knocked again.
“Don’t make me come in there.”
“Okay, okay, I’m up!” Lyla pulled the covers off and hopped out of bed. She thought about making her bed, but she decided against it. She chose an outfit- a dark colored long sleeved shirt, gray leggings and her favorite black hoodie, and made her way to her bathroom. She washed her face, brushed her hair and teeth, and began getting dressed.
Everything was fine, until she changed her shirt, and she remembered what she had done to herself earlier that morning. The guilt began coming back and tears began to form in her eyes. Why couldn’t she just keep clean? Why didn’t she just tell Jay and Will? Why didn’t she stay home in the first place?
She quickly put her shirt on and rolled up her sleeves. She then made her way out of the bathroom and grabbed her book bag. She opened the smaller pocket in the front and began searching around with her hands, until she found her vape. She knew this would make her feel guilty, so she closed her book bag and moved to her bed. She grabbed her pillow and slowly grabbed the bottle of pills she hid, making sure not to shake them. She then moved to her window, opened it, and hit her vape a few times. She closed her window and made her way to her bathroom, vape still in hand. She closed her door and poured one onto her hand. She swallowed it, without water, and placed the bottle on the counter, looking at herself in the mirror. She hated herself for this, but she couldn’t tell Jay or Will.
It was a constant cycle, drink alcohol to sleep, cut to get rid of the guilt from drinking, vape to get rid of the guilt from cutting, pop pills to get rid of the guilt from vaping, cut to get rid of the guilt from popping pills. It started to drive her crazy, but she couldn’t stop. She wanted to, but it was the only thing that helped her with the triggers, the stress, and the guilt for not listening to her brothers.
She felt a tear fall, and she wiped it away quickly. She put the lid back on the bottle of pills and made her way out of the bathroom. She quietly put her pills back in her pillow case and decided to make her bed, because she knew Jay and Will were beginning to catch on. She didn’t want them searching her room, because she knew she'd get in so much trouble. She then put her vape back in her book bag and slung her book bag over her shoulder. She grabbed her phone and ear buds from her night stand, deciding to leave her hydro flask. She put her hair up in a messy bun as she checked the time-6:26, turned her light off and exited her bedroom.
“Good morning.” Jay greeted as Lyla made her way down the stairs. She made her way to the island and took a seat as Jay made breakfast.
“Morning.” Lyla mumbled, opening her phone and scrolling through Instagram.
“Someone’s grumpy.” Will retorted as he entered the room, taking a seat next to Lyla, who just rolled her eyes at the comment. They sat there, a somewhat comfortable silence falling over them, until Will spoke up.
“You okay?” Will asked, showing concern for his sister. Jay and Will noticed changes in Lyla’s attitude and noticed she had become distant.
“Yeah.” Lyla replied, keeping her focus on her phone.
“Are you sure?” Jay butted in, setting a plate of pancakes in front of his sister, “You’ve been acting a little different.”
“Yeah, I’m fine.” Lyla and her brothers knew she was lying through her teeth, but she didn’t care. Jay and Will shared a look.
“Hey,” Will started, his voice soft, “You know you can talk to us if something’s wrong, right?”
“Yep, but like I said, I’m fine.” Lyla was starting to get irritated, the pills not having kicked in yet.
“Lyla, if something’s going on we just wanna-”
Lyla slammed her phone down, making Jay and Will jump.
“I said I’m fine! How many times do I have to tell you guys? Just leave me alone!” She grabbed her phone and air-pods, jumped off the stool and made her way to the front door, despite how early it was.
“You’re not gonna eat?” Jay asked, still shocked that Lyla had just snapped.
“I’m not hungry!” She yelled as she slammed the door, leaving her brothers dumbfounded.
“That went well.” Will remarked, still shocked Lyla had reacted that way.
“Yep.” Jay replied as he sat down next to his older brother, worry for his sister growing by the second.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lyla made her way to the park, shocked at the way she had just acted.
She had never, ever yelled at Jay or Will like that, and it scared her.
She threw her book bag on the picnic table and pulled her vape out. She closed her book bag and made her way over to the swings, sitting down on one and placing her bag on another.
She put her air-pods in at full volume and hit the vape a few times, trying to block out the world and what had just happened. When that didn’t work, she let the tears fall.
She was angry at herself for the way she had just acted. She knew her brothers were just trying to figure out what was wrong so they could help her. She was beyond pissed and upset, because she was taking out the anger she felt for herself on her brothers.
After a while, she stopped crying and she felt the pills kick in. She checked the time and saw that it was 7:15, which was the time she’d normally leave. She hopped off her swing, put her vape in her back pocket and grabbed her backpack, slinging it over her shoulder. She slowly walked to school, knowing she’d hate herself even more later.
Lyla was sitting in her third hour class, drawing on her desk, not even paying attention to what was going on. Unfortunately for her, the pill was starting to wear off.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Mr. Doherty?” The school’s secretary, Mrs. Lewis, called over the intercom. Lyla didn’t think anything of it, because the secretary called all of the teachers frequently.
“Yes?” Mr. Doherty replied.
“Could you send Lyla Halstead to the office?” This obviously caught Lyla’s attention. She looked up at her teacher, confused.
“Yes. She’ll be right there.”
“Alright. Thank you.” Mrs. Lewis hung up, and Lyla made her way to the classroom door.
“Do you know what they need you for?” Mr. Doherty inquired as Lyla reached the door.
Lyla looked towards her teacher, “No.” Then, she opened the door and left, confused as to why she was being called down to the office.
When she got in there, the principal, Mr. Kramer, was waiting for her, which scared her.
“Is everything okay?” Lyla asked, worried and confused at the same time.
“Yeah, everything’s okay.” Mr. Kramer started, which eased Lyla’s worries a bit. Mr. Kramer continued, “We just need you to get your book bag.”
“Am I being signed out?” Lyla inquired, confused as to why they would need her book bag. She wasn't sure this was the case, because they would've told her teacher over the intercom.
“Not exactly.” Mr. Kramer stated, “Just get your bag and we’ll go from there.”
“Okay.” Lyla replied, still very confused, and left the office to go get her book bag as instructed. She made it to her locker, put her combination in, and grabbed her book bag, trying to think of a reason they would need her bag. Then, she closed her locker, making sure it was locked, and made her way back to the office.
Once she got in there, she handed Mr. Kramer her backpack.
“Have a seat, Lyla.” Mr. Kramer instructed, and Lyla did so.
Lyla watched as Mr. Kramer opened her bag and began searching. She didn’t say a word, still confused, and it wasn’t until he opened the small pocket that it hit her-her vape.
Lyla had been careful, or so she thought. She rarely vaped at school unless it was outside, and she didn't think anyone would've seen her. Even if it wasn't the vape he was looking for, he'd find it now, but was that what he was looking for in the first place?
The latter was revealed to her when Mr. Kramer stopped searching and pulled out her vape. At that moment, she was very glad she didn’t bring her hydro flask.
Mr. Kramer sighed and turned to look at Mrs. Lewis, showing her the vape. She too sighed, surprised that Lyla would ever do such a thing.
“I’ll call her brother.” Mrs. Lewis stated and picked up the phone. Mr. Kramer turned back to Lyla, who had a look of guilt on her face.
“Go get the rest of your homework for the week.” Mr. Kramer instructed, and Lyla stood up and left the office.
The whole time, she was pissed, at herself, at whoever told on her, because that’s what had to have happened. She was just pissed at the world in general. What would Jay and Will think? This thought made her want to cry, because she knew they’d be livid and disappointed in her. How would they be able to trust her? She felt so, so guilty about everything, and it was stressing her out beyond belief.
Once she got her stuff from Mr. Doherty’s and her homework from the rest of her teachers, she grabbed the books and notebooks necessary for her work from her locker and made her way back to the office, putting her stuff in her book bag. She sat down in the seat, leg bouncing in anticipation.
Usually, she would’ve hoped it wasn’t Jay that showed up, but this time, she hoped it wouldn’t be Will that showed up, because first, doctors and vapes are like oil and water and second, the looks of disappointment she was sure he’d give her would destroy her even more. She couldn’t do that.
Unfortunately for Lyla, when the office door opened, it was Will that walked in and not Jay. He immediately looked to Lyla, who was staring at the floor.
“Mr. Halstead, please have a seat.” Mr. Kramer instructed.
“Please, call me Will.” Will started as he took a seat next to Lyla, “What’s this about?”
Mr. Kramer stood next to Mrs. Lewis, clearing his throat, “Well, a student came to my office this morning stating they had seen your sister vaping. We didn’t believe it until, well, we found this in her bag.” Mr. Kramer pulled out the vape, and Lyla looked up for a split second to read Will’s face. His features went from one of surprise to anger, and when he looked at her, she regretted looking up.
“Wanna explain yourself?” Will asked, a tinge of anger present in his voice. Lyla just stayed silent, returning her gaze to the ground, knowing he was more angry than he seemed.
Will sighed and looked back at Mr. Kramer, “What kind of punishment is she looking at?”
“She’s being suspended for the rest of the week and she’ll have one day of in school suspension.” Mr. Kramer said, and Will ran a hand down his face, disappointed and shocked Lyla would do this, still angry of course. Actually, angry would probably be an understatement.
“Alright. Is there anything you need me to sign?”
“You just need to sign her out.”
Lyla stayed seated as Will stood up and signed her out.
Once finished, Will turned to Lyla, “Let’s go.” Lyla got up and walked out of the door.
Before Will left, he turned to Mr. Kramer, “I’m sorry about this. I don’t know what’s gotten into her. I can assure you this will not happen again.”
“I’m sure it won’t. She’s a good kid. Don’t be too hard on her.” Will nodded his head, then followed Lyla out to his car.
Before Lyla made it outside, the bell rang, and students flocked out of the classrooms. She caught a glimpse of Cal, who actually waved at her as if nothing had happened at the party, and it made her want to throw up. She put her now shaking hands in her pockets as she made it to Will’s car, sitting in the backseat so she’d be as far away from him as possible.
Lyla had just buckled her seat belt when Will entered the driver’s seat and slammed the door.
“What the fuck Lyla? A vape? Really?” Will yelled, turning the car on and buckling his seat belt. Lyla just acted unfazed, because after what she had just seen with Cal, she knew she would crack, especially now that the pills were wearing off. She couldn’t do that, not right now.
Will turned around to face Lyla, “I’m so disappointed in you, Lyla. I didn’t think you could stoop this fucking low.” Then, Will turned around and began driving, trying his hardest not to drive like a mad man.
Lyla tried to act unfazed, but those words kept echoing through her head. “I didn’t think you could stoop this fucking low. I didn’t think you could stoop this fucking low. I didn’t think you could stoop this fucking low.” Her heart began to race and she felt like she was going to cry, but she couldn’t do that, she couldn’t give in. She needed to calm down, and the only thing that would calm her was cutting, and she couldn’t do that right now, not in Will’s car.
“I didn’t think you could stoop this fucking low.” She began to pick at her thumbnail with her index finger, something she did when she was stressed. Even though she was glad she didn’t bring her hydro flask, she kind of wished she did.
“I didn’t think you could stoop this fucking low.” She wanted the words to go away, she needed them to. Although she tried to stay calm, she began to breathe harder.
“Do you know how fucking dangerous vaping is?” Will yelled, not aware of how Lyla was feeling at all, “You’re so lucky I don’t take you to med to get checked out right now. And don’t think I’m not telling Jay about this.”
As Will kept ranting, Lyla thought about the look Jay would give her when he found out, how he’d yell at her as well. She then thought about Hailey. They’d both be so disappointed in her, for everything.
“I didn’t think you could stoop this fucking low.”
She pulled her knees to her chest as best she could with the seat belt in the way and buried her head in her knees. She thought of the party, of what Cal had done to her. She couldn’t handle the rush of memories, Will yelling, the looks she imagined Hailey and Jay would give her. She started silently crying, wishing Will would shut the fuck up and these images memories and words would leave her head.
“Out of all the things you could have possibly done, you chose to vape? Really?”
“Please stop.” Lyla begged softly, but Will couldn’t hear her. She felt like an object, like she didn’t matter to anyone. She felt like she couldn’t carry this weight anymore. She started to shake slightly as she wrapped her arms around her legs as tightly as she could and put her hands in her hair, tugging softly.
“Do you know how many kids your age I’ve seen in the ED because of vaping? Do you?” Lyla whimpered softly. Will looked in the rear-view mirror and sighed.
“Lyla-” Will’s voice became softer, kinder. He took a breath, “I’m sorry.” When Lyla didn't say anything, Will guessed it wasn’t just the vape that had been bothering her.
Will sighed, “Lyla, can you please tell me what’s going on?”
“No.” Lyla replied through tears, and it broke Will’s heart.
“Please? I just wanna help you.”
“I said no!” She took her hands out of her hair and gripped her arms, slightly digging into her cuts through her thick sleeves. Will sighed and just continued driving, knowing if he kept pushing she’d become too distressed and likely have a panic attack.
Lyla felt like she was going to explode. She just needed to make it to her bathroom.
She wished the words, images and thoughts would just leave, just until she was alone. She couldn’t take it. For the first time, she felt like giving up.
After what felt like hours, Lyla felt the car come to a stop. She looked up to see that they were finally at their house. She unbuckled her seatbelt, grabbed her book bag and exited the car. She waited for Will to unlock the door, and after he did so, she rushed to her room.
“Lyla-” Will tried to talk to her, but she was already halfway up the stairs. Her door slammed and Will sighed.
Lyla immediately made her way to her bathroom, phone in hand. She quickly removed her phone case and rolled her sleeves up. She began cutting, the most she’d cut at once, making new cuts and reopening older ones. She took a deep breath, cleaned the blade and counter top with toilet paper, put her blade and phone case back, rolled down her sleeves and exited the bathroom. She laid on her bed, face in her pillow, and cried silently to herself, guilty because of the vape and what she had just done to herself. She was glad she wore black because nobody would be able to see the blood, and the fact that she did this broke her even more.
She laid there for a while until she heard a knock on her door.
“Lyla, I’m coming in.” Will’s soft voice announced. Lyla rolled onto her back and sat up as the door opened.
“Are you feeling okay?” Will asked, seeing as Lyla had been crying. Lyla nodded.
“Do you want some water?” Will offered, and Lyla nodded her head. At this moment, she realized she had heard those words before.
“Alright. I’ll be right back.” Will told Lyla, and he walked out of her room to go downstairs and get a water bottle, Lyla's mind shifting to the night she'd heard those exact words before.
Lyla had been stressed with upcoming exams, hence coming to the party. She had a pretty bad headache, and the loud noises from the event weren’t helping, the opposite actually. She made her way to the kitchen where Cal was sitting.
“Are you feeling okay?” Cal asked, sounding concerned.
“Yeah, I’m good. I just have a headache is all.”
“Do you want some water?” Cal offered generously, holding out a water bottle.
“Sure.” Lyla accepted his offer, and Cal handed her the water bottle. Lyla took a few sips, feeling the cool liquid run down her throat.
“Thanks, Cal.” Lyla thanked sincerely.
“Yeah, no problem.”
If Lyla would’ve known what Cal had done to that water, she wouldn’t have accepted it.
“Lyla?” Will called out.
“What?” Lyla asked, having forgotten about their previous encounter.
“I got your water.” Will answered, concern filling his voice as he handed her the water.
“Thanks.”
“Yeah.” Will replied, “You alright? I called your name like 50 times.”
“Yeah. I’m fine.”
“Alright.” Will replied skeptically. He was about to say something else, when his phone went off. He pulled it out of his pocket and groaned as he read the notification.
“I have to get to Med.” Will sighed, “I’m gonna call Stella and see if she can watch you, alright?” Lyla nodded her head, and Will brushed a strand of hair out of her face, “I love you.”
“I love you, too.” Will planted a kiss on her forehead, then left her room.
Lyla waited until Will was gone before getting out of bed. Will had texted her saying Stella was on her way, so she knew she had to do this quickly. She grabbed her near empty hydro flask and made her way to her bathroom. She quickly washed it, then made her way into the kitchen. She opened the fridge and grabbed the bottle of Tequila that belonged to her brothers, opened her hydro flask and filled it up about half way. She put it back in the fridge, closed her hydro flask, and went to the main bathroom. She grabbed febreeze so Stella wouldn’t be skeptical, sprayed some, put it back and made her way up the stairs, hydro flask in hand. She closed her bedroom door and connected her air pods to her phone. She then chugged the contents in the hydro flask and made her way to her bathroom.
Once inside, she rewashed the hydro flask, brushed and flossed her teeth, then rinsed out with mouthwash. She made a few more cuts to take the guilt of drinking alcohol away. She cleaned the blood off of the counter, not really caring about cleaning her arms. She rolled up her sleeves as she exited the bathroom, putting her blade back once she was by her nightstand. She grabbed a packet of gum out of her nightstand drawer, popping three pieces into her mouth. She grabbed the water bottle Will had given her earlier and poured the contents into her hydro flask. She shuffled her Spotify playlist she’d been listening to lately and put her air pods in. She laid down on her bed, putting her phone and air pods case next to her. She pulled the covers over her as she quickly fell into a peaceful, drunken slumber.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Hey, Stella.” Jay greeted as he, Hailey and Will walked in, “Was Lyla good for you?”
“Hey! I checked on her once and she was asleep. I haven’t seen her since.”
“Oh. Well, thanks for being here anyway. I owe you one.”
“Don’t sweat it. I’m happy to help.” Then, Stella grabbed her stuff and left, heading for her shift at Molly’s.
“I’ll go check on her.” Will informed Jay and Hailey who nodded. He turned around and made his way upstairs to Lyla’s bedroom.
“Lyla?” Will called as he softly knocked on her door. When he didn’t get a response, he became kind of worried, and opened the door. He saw that she was fast asleep, which calmed him down. He was about to leave, when he thought he saw something on her right arm. He decided to check it out, just to be sure. When he made it over there, he saw what looked like dried blood that had trickled down her arm, which worried him. Curiosity got the best of him, and he gently grabbed her arm, slowly rolling up her sleeve.
When he saw the cuts, he wanted to cry. He flipped her arm and saw more cuts. He was relieved there weren't very many, until he realized her other arm would likely have more, being that she was right handed. This realization made him want to throw up. He didn’t think something could have been bothering Lyla this badly.
Lyla jolted awake from the contact, a nightmare having begun when Will opened the door.
“What the fuck?” She muttered, then she saw Will, “Will, what are you-?” She followed his gaze and saw her arm. She sat up a little in bed and slowly looked up, meeting Will’s worried eyes.
“Will, i-it’s not what it looks like-” Lyla tried to protest, but she was at a loss for words.
“Jay!” Will called for his younger brother.
“Will!” Lyla hissed as Jay came rushing in. She banged her head on her head board in annoyance and guilt. She was sure her secret wouldn't be a secret anymore.
“What’s up?” Jay inquired worriedly. He walked over to Will, and was shocked to see Lyla’s arm. He bent down and inspected it.
Jay was honestly at a loss for words. Lyla just ran a hand through her hair in exasperation and fear.
Jay walked over to Lyla’s left side and bent down.
“Can you roll this sleeve up?” Jay asked gently. Lyla knew there was no escape. She rolled her other sleeve up, revealing cuts all up and down her arm, at least twice as many as her right arm. Lyla felt tears form in her eyes and her heart began to race.
“Lyla,” Jay started, his voice soft, “Can you tell us why you did this?”
Lyla stayed silent, putting her hands to her eyes to try and stop the tears from flowing.
“Lyla,” Will spoke up after a moment, “Can you please tell us? We can help you.”
“No. I-It doesn’t matter. It’s my fault anyway.”
Jay and Will shared a look, then Jay spoke up, “Lyla, please. I promise we won’t be mad at you.”
Lyla looked at her brothers, their gazes a mix between soft and concerned. She knew it was now or never.
She sighed and took a deep breath, putting her head back and closing her eyes, “I snuck out to go to a party and Cal drugged and raped me.”
Even though the words were rushed, Jay and Will still heard them, and to say they were pissed at Cal was an understatement.
Lyla drew in a deep, shaky breath, “I-I’m sorry. If I would’ve listened-”
“Hey, look at me.” Jay instructed, his voice soft. Lyla met his gaze, and he grabbed her hand, “None of this, and I mean none of this, is your fault, okay? It’s Cal’s and only Cal’s.” Lyla nodded her head.
Will opened his arms, “Come here.” Lyla accepted the embrace and cried in Will’s arms while he rubbed her back soothingly.
He looked at Jay, “Go get him.” Will mouthed, rage in his eyes. Jay nodded and walked out of the room, Will turning his attention back to Lyla.
“Hey, what happened?” Hailey asked as she saw her husband coming down the stairs. She could tell he was beyond livid.
“Call Voight, tell him we have a case. I’ll explain on the way.” Jay grabbed his coat and keys and stalked out to the truck, Hailey following suit.
Meanwhile, Will had gotten Lyla to calm down.
“I want you to know none of this is your fault. Just because you snuck out doesn’t mean you’re the one to blame, okay?” Lyla nodded. Will planted a kiss on her head and got up.
“Will?”
“Yeah?”
“Can you stay with me?”
“Yeah, of course. I’m just gonna grab a blanket and pillow from my room, okay?” Lyla nodded her head.
After a few minutes, Will came back with his blanket and pillow. He turned off her light and laid down next to her, wrapping an arm around her protectively. She rested her head on his chest, enjoying his warmth. After a while, she finally fell asleep, feeling the safety she’d craved.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Voight.” Voight’s gruff voice came over the line. Jay and Hailey were in the truck, Jay racing towards the district, obviously using his lights and sirens.
“Hey Sarge.” Hailey started, “Jay has a case.”
“Talk to me, Halstead.”
Jay sighed, “Lyla told us she snuck out to a party and was drugged and assaulted. The offender is Caleb McCarthy, 15, no priors.”
“Alright. Do you know how long ago this happened?”
“No. I’ll call Will and have him ask Lyla.”
“Alright. I’ll call the team. Do you know where this prick lives?”
“Yeah.”
“Alright. Come to the district, we can debrief the team there.”
“Okay. Thanks, Sarge.”
“You don’t have to thank me. She’s family. I’ll see you in a few.” Then, Voight hung up.
Hailey rested a hand on Jay’s arm, “We’ll get him, Jay.”
“Yeah, I know. I just feel bad for her, you know? She had to carry this by herself for God knows how long.”
“Yeah.” Hailey squeezed Jay’s arm as they pulled into the district. Hailey got out of the truck and made her way to the bullpen as Jay called Will.
“What’s up?” Will asked, answering on the second ring.
“Can you ask Lyla when the party happened?”
“Yeah, hold on.” Will put the phone down and turned his attention to his sister. He gently rubbed her back.
“Lyla.” He said softly, and Lyla opened her eyes.
“Hey, I’m sorry to have to wake you, but I have to ask you something. Do you remember when the party happened?”
Lyla thought for a moment before answering, “October 15th."
“Alright. Thank you. You can go back to sleep now, okay?” Lyla nodded her head, resting it where it was a moment before.
Will picked up his phone, “October 15th.”
“Alright. Thanks man.”
“Yeah. Go get him.” Will hung up and pulled Lyla closer to him, planting a kiss on her head.
Jay walked into the district and buzzed himself up to the bullpen where the team was waiting, already aware of the situation.
“October 15th. That’s when the party happened.”
“Alright.” Voight started, scratching his head, “We’re gonna need more evidence. Go through his phone records, check his social media, anything we can. Let’s get this prick.”
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Will knew Maggie was on shift, so when he knew Lyla was asleep, he called her to tell her he was gonna need to use some of his vacation days. He didn’t tell her exactly what happened, just that it was a family matter.
Will was beyond pissed. He just hoped Jay would get that son of a bitch that had hurt his little sister, causing her to spiral to the point she was hurting herself. It broke his heart. He really wished they would’ve caught on sooner, because he knew they’d have more evidence.
He looked at Lyla who was currently sound asleep. She felt so fragile in his arms, so vulnerable, so scared. He figured that was the reason she had started vaping. He wanted to ask her if she was doing anything else, but he didn't want to push her. All she needed right now was her brothers to be there for her, and Will knew this.
Will didn’t understand how someone could do something so evil, so wrong, especially someone he knew Lyla trusted with her life. That’s what pissed Will off the most, was the fact that she trusted him since she was little. Her and Cal had been best friends since kindergarten, and he broke that bond so selfishly.
Suddenly, Lyla jolted awake, heart racing. Will’s heart broke, knowing exactly what was going on.
“Hey, hey, I got you. I’m right here.” Lyla’s heart slowed and she leaned into her brother.
“Did you have a nightmare?” Will asked gently, and Lyla nodded her head.
Will planted a kiss on top of her head, “It’s okay. Do you want your hydro flask?” Lyla nodded her head. Will used his free arm and grabbed the hydro flask, flipping the straw up. He handed it to her, and Lyla took it, taking a few sips of the water inside. She closed the straw and put it on the nightstand closest to her, feeling tears well up in her eyes.
“I should’ve stayed home.”
“No. Just because you snuck out doesn’t make it your fault. It’s not your fault, and it can not and never will be your fault.” Will pulled her closer, wanting her to know that she was safe and that none of this was her fault.
“Can you tell me a story?” Lyla asked.
“What kind of story?”
“I don’t know, like something you and Jay did together.”
Will thought for a moment, then chuckled when he thought of the perfect story.
“Okay. You know the Target by your school?” Lyla nodded her head, and Will continued, “One day, Jay and I ditched. We walked around, and when we got up to the Target, for some reason we decided to steal a shopping cart from the parking lot.”
“Jay jumped in the cart and I pushed him all the way until we got back to the school. I then had the idea to push the cart up the wheelchair ramp outside the front entrance and then push him down the stairs.”
“What happened?” Lyla inquired, kind of intrigued.
“Well, you know that big ass scar on his right arm?” Lyla nodded. “He has that because the cart flung Jay forward and he almost broke his arm. When Mom and Dad found out they grounded us for a month and we had to pay for the shopping cart we stole.”
“I thought you were smart.” Lyla retorted playfully.
“Hey!” Will protested, “I am smart!” Lyla giggled, and Will chuckled. He was glad he made her laugh, because that was the first time in forever that he saw her actually smile.
Lyla yawned, and Will held her tighter. After a while, she fell asleep again, leaving Will awake and pondering.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“I think I got something!” Kevin announced from his desk. Everyone stood up and made their way to Kev’s desk.
“This tweet was posted around 9:00 the night of the party.” Kevin informed the team.
“Didn’t think drugging someone would be that easy.” Kim read the tweet, which was posted by Cal. It angered everyone, especially Jay.
“Doesn’t that count as a confession?” Jay asked Voight eagerly.
“To the drugging, yes, but to the rape itself, no. Anyone have anything else we can use?”
“I might.” Adam started, opening a vanilla folder, “I recovered some deleted texts Caleb sent to a contact named JJ that were sent the day after the party and, well, they’re pretty, um, gruesome.” Adam handed the paper with the messages to Voight, who began reading to himself. Let’s just say Voight became angrier by the second, and when Voight gets angry, well, you don’t want to mess with him.
“Kim, you get a warrant. Halstead, Upton, once we get the warrant, we’ll get this prick.” Voight demanded, and the three of them grabbed their coats. Voight would’ve made Jay stay, but after reading those texts, he didn’t really care.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Having secured the arrest warrant, Jay sped off to Cal’s house, Voight following close behind. When they got there, Jay parked the truck in front of Cal’s house, and he and Hailey hopped out, Voight following behind.
Hailey knocked on the door, and after a few moments, Cal opened the door.
“Hi, Hailey.” Cal greeted, “What’s up?”
“Hey, Caleb.” Hailey replied sarcastically, faking a smile, “I need you to get against the wall for me.”
“What, why?” Cal asked, seemingly confused.
“Get against the wall, now.” Jay commanded using his don’t fuck with me tone of voice, and Cal did as told.
Jay pushed in front of Hailey and walked into the house, handcuffs out. He first patted Cal down, then he began cuffing him, when Cal’s mom and dad came into the room.
“What’s going on?” Cal’s mom inquired, confused and worried at the same time.
“We have an arrest warrant, ma’am.” Voight informed the confused parents, handing her the arrest warrant.
“Th-This is insane! He couldn’t have done anything wrong!” Cal’s mom exclaimed, not even reading the paper the sergeant handed her.
“Oh yeah,” Jay started, anger present in his voice and features, “Tell that to the fifteen year old girl he sexually assaulted.” Jay turned his attention to Cal, pushing him forward and leading him out of the house, “You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford one, one will be provided for you.”
Hailey made her way to the passenger side as Jay opened the back door and shoved Cal inside. He slammed the door and walked over to the driver side, hopping in and starting the car. He drove to the district, Voight following closely behind once again. Once they got there, Jay walked through the garage and roughly handed Cal over to Kevin, who brought him to the interrogation room. He was about to follow, when Voight stopped him.
“Halstead,” Voight called, and Jay turned around to look at his sergeant.
“Go home, be with your sister. She needs you.” Jay nodded in agreement, turned around and went towards the garage door, receiving a pat on the back from Voight. Hailey opened the garage for him.
“Thanks, Hails. I’ll see you at home.”
“See you at home.” Then, Jay walked out and went to his truck, Hailey closing the garage behind him and making her way to the interrogation room. Jay started the truck and drove home, choosing not to use the sirens so he’d have time to calm down and gather his thoughts.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was about 11:30 now, and Lyla was still fast asleep, much to Will’s relief. He was deep in thought, thinking about Lyla’s road to recovery, when Jay walked in, snapping Will out of his thoughts.
“Hey.” Will greeted softly so he wouldn’t wake Lyla up, “Did you get him?”
“Yeah. How’s she doing?” Jay asked as he walked towards Lyla’s bed.
Will sighed, “She’s got a long road ahead of her, that’s for sure.”
Jay laid down next to Lyla on the other side, and Will moved his arm so Jay could replace it with his.
“Well,” Jay started, lowering his voice to a whisper. He planted a kiss on Lyla’s head, “We’ll be here for her, every step of the way.”
Will nodded in agreement, and after a while, they both fell asleep. Lyla had woken up when Jay came in, unbeknownst to her brothers. Shortly after Jay had come into her room, Lyla fell into a comfortable slumber, thankful that she had her brothers to help her heal.

Dispatched Love
Request: Reader had known Jay since she’d first started as a dispatcher for Chicago. It wasn’t long until she’d developed a crush on the older man. She didn’t say anything since she realized he was dating Erin but then she left. She left and Jay got kidnapped; reader heard it over the radio. Hank texted her to say they’d found him and she left her job without saying anything and sped to the hospital. When she saw the blonde detective in the waiting room they got into a fight and reader punched her. She refused to leave the hospital until Jay woke up and laid in bed with him the entire time. When he woke up, in the heat of the moment her lips were on his in a moment.
Pairings: Jay Halstead x Reader
Warnings: angst, fluff
Masterlist
When you moved back to Chicago you really didn't know anyone besides Hank Voight considering he was your uncle and he had raised you for most of your life. You had gone away for college and had just recently come back to Chicago.
You had been job hunting for a while but nothing had interested you or if you did find something they weren't hiring. You really wanted to be a 911 dispatcher but each time you tried to apply something always came up so you just gave up. Hank had come up to you one day saying he had a surprise for you and that he wanted you to come to supper and of course you accepted, you loved your uncle.
It was currently Thursday night when you went over to his house for supper. You drove over there and when you got into the driveway you parked and killed the engine. You got out and walked to the door and knocked and waited then the door finally opened.
"Hey! Come on in!" Hank said and you smiled and walked in.
"Hey, Uncle Hank." You said and hugged him and you returned it.
"I'm glad you could make it." He said as he let go of you.
"I was doing anything really. I was just thinking about opening a bottle of wine and sitting in front of the TV and ordering a pizza." You said and you watched his face fall.
"You know you're always welcome over here." He said and you nodded.
"Of course I do but I don't want to inconvenience you." You told him and he shook his head and you both began walking into the living room.
"Nonsense. Supper will be ready in 10 minutes." He said and you nodded. You both sat on the couch.
"You said that you had a surprise." You told him and he nodded.
"I got you a job at the 911 dispatch center." He said taking a drink of the beer that he had on the table.
"Wait. Seriously?" You asked with a look of shock on your face and you watched him nodded "How?" You asked.
"I know someone who owed me a favor." He said and you practically tackled him into a hug.
"Thank you." You said and he hugged you back.
"No need to thank me, kid. I know how much you wanted it." He said and then you both released each other. Dinner was ready and you both ate in a comfortable peace. You went home happy and grateful for an awesome uncle.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
When you weren't working you were hanging out at the police station and visiting your uncle. You had made fast friends with everyone in Intelligence including none other than Jay Halstead. You had developed feelings for him. He was always so nice to you when you came in and if you needed something while there he would get it for you. But he was with Erin Lindsay so you didn't pursue your feelings. What you didn't know was that he had feelings for you too.
"Hey, Y/N. How's it going?" Jay asked when you walked into the bullpen. You smiled at him.
"I'm good. Just been working." You said as you walked over to him.
"How's it going?" He asked truly interested and you loved that. He had been sitting on the edge of his desk.
"It's going well. I'm doing what I've always wanted to do." You said and he smiled but then Erin walked over and slung her arm over his shoulder.
"Hey, Y/N." She said and then turned and kissed Jay on the cheek.
"Hey, Erin." You said with a polite smile on your face.
You really didn't like Erin she gave off a vibe that just didn't sit well with you, even if she was part of your family. She would always pop into conversations and still him away even if it was just a simple friendly conversation. So you ended up steering clear of her and him and started to visit less often. You hated doing it but that didn't stop your feelings from forming.
"What are you doing here?" She asked turning to you.
"I was actually waiting for Uncle Hank." You said just being in her presence was awkward and not pleasant. "You know I actually need to go. I have work in a few hours. Jay, can you tell him I stopped by and I'll get into contact with him later?" You asked and Jay nodded and then you left saying bye to Trudy on the way out.
You didn't return to the station after that day so you didn't know what had happened. Your love for Jay still grew stronger. You met everyone at Molly's a few nights but you steered clear of Jay and Erin no matter how it hurt.
One day Jay had shown up to you as you were leaving work. This surprised you. "Jay, hi." You said a little confused.
"Hey, Erin left." Jay said and you didn't say anything but you wore a shocked expression.
"I'm sorry, Jay. I know how much it must hurt." You said and then pulled him into a hug which he returned.
"Thank you, Y/N." He said and you both talked for a while before you both left but not before exchanging numbers.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
It had been months since Erin had left and you hoped she didn't come back. You and Jay had been texting but never met up due to working hours. You wanted to but never found the right time. Sometimes it would go on for weeks and sometimes it would stop and you understood. You both had demanding jobs.
You were at work when tragedy struck. You had taken a 911 call from a women. She claimed that she saw someone, a male, matching Jay's description and your heart dropped.
You had texted Hank but he said that he didn't know anything and he would let you know. It had been a few hours so when you took your break you had called him.
"Hey, have you heard anything?" You asked him and heard him sigh.
"I'm not supposed to be telling you this but we're close to finding him, we think. You have to believe that we will." Hank said and you closed your eyes.
"I believe you. I love you Uncle Hank." You said and opened your eyes.
"I love you too kid. Everyone including Erin is here helping." He said and your blood ran cold. You didn't say anything else just hung up the phone and got back to work.
You didn't contact him for weeks or even visit them. You couldn't you hated the thought of seeing her face.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Going into 3 weeks of Jay missing you had gotten a text from Hank.
Uncle Hank: We found him. We're going to med.
You just stared at your phone you couldn't believe it. You got up and grabbed your stuff and headed out of work. Your boss was going to stop you but they knew what was going on so they just let you go.
When you got to med you walked right into the waiting room to Hank. He saw you coming and he opened your arms and walked into them fully closing the hug. "Where did you find him?" You asked him and as you broke apart from the hug.
"We found him in a warehouse locked to a pole and he was beaten pretty badly. He's in surgery now." Hank had told you. All of Intelligence didn't care that you knew but that didn't sit well with Erin and it showed.
"Why are you telling her? She's not supposed to know anything." Erin said and you turned to look at her.
"I thought you left. Why are you back?" You asked her maybe a little bit rudely.
"I heard that he was kidnapped and I came back to help look." She said and you didn't quite believe her so you scoffed.
"If you cared for him so much then you wouldn't have left him. You broke his heat. Now all of a sudden you're back trying to win it?" You asked her and she had an offended look on her face but you didn't care. You didn't know when you had stepped closer to her but at some point you had.
"What? It's not like you're dating him or anything." She said and rolled her eyes.
"You're a bitch you know that." You said with a look of disgust on your face.
"What did you just call me?" She asked
"A bitch. I called you a bitch." You told her and the next thing you knew you were getting punched in the nose and it started bleeding. You stumbled back into Hank but what she didn't know was that when you get mad you go into fighting mode. You took one swing at her and she stumbled and into a wall. Before it could get any further Connor Rhodes came into the waiting room to say that he was out of surgery and only one person was allowed to be with them while he recovered, Everyone agreed that you should be the one, Erin was offended but you really didn't care.
When you walked to his room with Connor. He had stopped and checked you out and cleaned you up before continuing on. "Hey if any swelling occurs call me." He said and you nodded and then turned to him when you reached the door.
"Thank you, Connor." You said and he smiled and nodded. You walked into the room and waited.
Waiting can be a horrible thing at times. Waiting gave you time to think and those thoughts could be good or bad. Jay had been unconscious while you were there and you refused to leave his side. He had visitors come and Erin surprisingly didn't show her face. Hank visited often it was to check up on you and to see if any changes happened with him.
"Hey, Sweetheart. Any changes?" He asked and you shook your head and he sighed.
"Nothing new but that's a good thing. That just means that he isn't getting worse." You said and he nodded.
"You need to go home. You're probably missing a lot of work." He said and you shook your head.
"I had the next few days off since I work late nights. I'm not leaving him." You said and he nodded and left it at that.
"Text me if anything changes." He said and you nodded.
"You got it." You said never leaving your eyes off of him.
It took a total of 2 days for Jay to wake up. You had fallen asleep in a chair next to his bed. He groaned and started moving and that is what woke you up. You jumped up and before you knew it, your lips were on his. What you didn't expect was to from him to kiss you back. You only broke apart when you needed air. He looked at you suprised.
"I'm sorry. I just really wanted to do that. For awhile now. I should go." You rambled but he grabbed your hand and pulled you back and crashed his lips back onto yours, this time it was turn to be surprised but kissed back. You pulled apart again when air was needed.
"You don't know how long I've wanted to do that." He said and you smiled and you sat down.
"Really?" You asked and he nodded his head.
"Really. Y/N I fell in love with you when Hank first introduced the Intelligence group to you. Yea I was with Erin but we were already going out of the relationship." He said and you smiled.
"I've had a crush on you when Hank introduced me to you and then it slowly turned into love." You said and smiled.
"Well would you like to go out with me on a date?" He asked and you nodded your head.
"I would love that." You said and you both smiled at each other. You didn't know if you ever would love again but Jay Halstead just proved that you could. You loved each other and nothing was going to change that.
