Chapter 1: "I'll Always Be Here"
St Anne's Hospital
9:00PM
Amy woke up in a room that was unfamilar to her she blinked a few times to get her vision to clear up a bit. She lifted her right arm she was connected to an IV and many other machines. She moved her hand up to her left arm her face turned white as a sheet. All that was left was stump that's when it hit her. Amy was tortured by her ex boyfriend he cut her arm off. The last thing she remembered was running in the hospital then the rest was a blur. Taking a deep breath Amy carefully sat up on the hospital bed at the same moment the nurse came in.
"Morning sleeping beauty how are we today?",Nurse Janice asked gently.
"I'm hurting otherwise I'm happy to be alive.",Amy replied with a small smile.
"You will be in pain for a while it will be a week or two until the stiches come out until then I want you to get plenty of water,rest,exercise and healthy foods this will help you speed up your recovery. As for your mental health You will need a strong support system to get you through this. I would recommend you attending a support group and I do not want you to be alone Is there anyone you can stay with?",Nurse Janice asked
"Yes may I call him?",Amy asked shyly.
"Sure honey here's the phone the doctor will be in a little while to check you over.",Nurse Janice replied with a smile as she handed Amy the phone.
"Thank you",Amy replied with a smile as she picked up the phone. She took a deep breath while holding back tears she dialed the number of her close friend whom she considers as a father figure.

-End of Phone Conversation-
As Amy hung up the phone the tears she tried so hard to keep down fell down like a raging waterfall she feels so disgusted she can still feel his disgusting touch lingering on her skin and the pain where her left arm used to be made the feeling worse. Amy was snapped back into reality when Horatio came in she unhooked herself from the IV and other machines and jumped into his arms almost knocking him over. She buried her head in his neck letting out the pain she was holding.
"It's all my fault this is all my fault.",Amy sobbed softly. Horatio held her closer as he kissed her on the temple.
"Sweetheart what he did to you was not your fault.",Horatio whispered in her ear.
"I have no one my own family and friends abandoned me I feel so alone.",Amy sobbed in his shoulder. Horatio's blood boiled he would make sure that Jason pays for hurting the woman he loves as his own daughter.
"You're not alone you have me you can stay with me sweetheart.",Horatio replied softly as he pulled away and crandled her face in his hands he wiped the remaining tears from her eyes.
"Remember what I always told you?",Horatio asked. Amy chuckled.
"You will always be here for me no matter what.",Amy replied. Horatio smiled as he kissed her on the forehead the doctor came back in the room with the discharge paperwork.
"Hi Doctor Sanchez!",Amy said with a soft smile.
"Hello Amy how are you feeling?",Doctor Sanchez asked.
"I'm okay i'm hurting badly though.",Amy replied sadly.
"That will continue for a while I will prescribe a painkiller for you and Nurse Janice filled you in on the recovery process and who is this with you?",Doctor Sanchez asked as he looked at Horatio with a look of confusion.
"This is Lt Horatio Caine he works for Miami Dade Police he's a close friend of mine he's my father figure to.",Amy replied.
"Nice to meet you Lt Caine and I assume you will be staying with Amy?",Doctor Sanchez asked.
"Yes she will be staying with me",Horatio replied.
"Good here is the discharge paperwork and Amy your followup appointment will be July 7",Doctor Sanchez replied as he handed them the paperwork.
"Thank you",Amy replied as the doctor walked out of the room. She laid her head on Horatios shoulder.
"I will tell you everything once we get the hell out of here I hate it here.",Amy said in a somber tone.
"Okay sweetheart and I promise you Jason will not get away with this.",Horatio replied as he kissed her head.
"Thank you",Amy whispered as she held back the tears in her eyes.
"No problem sweetheart. Go get dressed.",Horatio replied as he kissed her cheek.
"Yes Dad.",Amy said with a smirk which made Horatio chuckle.
After Horatio filled out the paperwork Amy was dressed in sweatpants and a tanktop she packed her personal things and walked out of the room with Horatios arm around her shoulders.
In The Car
The gentle breeze of the Miami evening was always a comfort to Amy she knew the warmth was God's touch. She knew she had to be strong now she was glad to see Horatio again last time she saw him was when she graduated from University Of Northern Florida he was so proud of her that day and he is still proud of her. The day she graduated Horatio gave her a gold heart necklace that had engraved:
My Guardian Angel
My Best Friend For Life
My Beloved Daughter You always be
I love you forever and always.
She never took it off she cherishs it dearly. At the moment Amy was in lala land she wasn't paying attention when Horatio was trying to ask her a question.
"Penny for your thoughts?",Horatio asked with a chuckle
"I was thinking about graduation that was the first time I've seen you cry.",Amy replied while blushing a bit.
"You've accomplished so much and you are a strong woman I'm very proud of you sweetheart.",Horatio replied with a soft smile.
"You and I have a lot of catching up to do",Amy said with a small smile.
"We sure do sweetheart.",Horatio replied.
"How have you been Horatio?",Amy asked.
"I'm okay I miss Marisol everyday and the cases we get are always hard.",Horatio replied in a somber tone. Amy nodded her head in understanding.
"I know you miss her all you can do is to cherish the memories and the love in your heart she is always with you where ever you go she is always watching you. Horatio you're the most wonderful man I know you've been a wonderful friend and father figure to me. You've made a huge difference in so many lives more than you've realize. You've been through hell and back and you came out strong. Please don't change.",Amy said softly.
"Thank you sweetheart I missed having you around you've always been easy to talk to.",Horatio replied as he pulled in the driveway of his home. Horatio got out and walked over to Amy's side opened the door and carried her out in his arms. Amy with her usual smirk chuckled a bit.
"I can walk ya know",Amy said with a giggle which made Horatio chuckle as he put her down he grabbed her bag and put his arm around her shoulders. The two walked up to the door and went inside.
Horatio's Home
"Wow this place has not changed a bit.",Amy said softly as she hung her coat up. She walked in the kitchen where Horatio was getting them something to drink. Horatio handed her a glass of water.
"Thank you",Amy replied as she took a small sip.
"Your welcome sweetheart.",Horatio replied as he sat down next to her and took her hand in his gently caressing it with his thumb.
"I know you want to know what happened right?",Amy asked sadly. Horatio nodded.
"Take your time honey",Horatio replied. Amy took a breath before speaking.
"I recently broke up with Jason he was very controlling and creepy he wanted to have sex right away and I told him no. He won't take no for an answer On the day I was attacked I was at home getting ready for a jog Jason snuck in and hit me with a bat and I fell on the bed. A few minutes later I woke up and he was inside me on top of me raping me. I tried to scream but he choked me so I could not be heard. After he was finished he grabs me by my hair and takes me out to the backyard and throws me on the ground.",Amy said as she was trying to maintain her composure.
"It's okay sweetheart he can't hurt you anymore.",Horatio said tenderly as he kissed her tears away.
"He grabs a saw from the garage and gets on top of me this time I have duck tape on my mouth that's when he cut my arm off. After he was done with that he stabbed me in the thigh and stomach and he punched me in the face and ran off. I played dead until he was gone. I had enough strength to get up and run to St Anne's after that I passed out.",Amy replied as she cried on Horatios shoulder. Horatio pulled her close and kissed her on the temple.
His heart broke for her How could anyone do this to his precious girl? She's been through so much already Amy may be strong but she does carry a lot of battle scars from her youth.
After her father who abused her for years was put in prison Horatio took her in and raised her as his own daughter since then they've always been close.
"You did great honey I assure you Jason will not get away with this.",Horatio whispered as he pulled her closer to him her head was on his chest.
"The hospital did a rape kit they'll send it over to you.I told them to I want Jason put to justice.",Amy whispered. Horatio kissed her head before pulling away and wiping her tears away.
"Thank you",Amy whispered.
"I'll always be there for you Amy I'll always keep you safe.",Horatio whispered as he hugged her.
"My left side hurts.",Amy said sadly.
"Here you go sweetheart.",Horatio replied as he handed her two painkillers. Amy took them and yawned a bit.
"Sleepy?",Horatio asked. Amy nodded as she yawned again. Horatio could tell by looking at her that she has not been sleeping well she had dark circles from her eyes her nightmares came back. He noticed her nodding off. Horatio lifted her in his arms and carried her into the bedroom and laid her down on the bed and tucked her in.
"Horatio?",Amy said in a sleepy voice
"Yes sweetheart?",Horatio replied softly.
"Do you mind staying? I don't want to be alone, My nightmares are back",Amy replied slightly embarrassed.
"Sure sweetheart and don't be embarrassed about anything.",Horatio replied as he took his shoes off he was wearing a sweatshirt and pants and crawled in the bed with her. He wrapped his arms around her forming a secure ring around her she turned around to face him.
"You're safe here sweetheart.",Horatio said softly as he wiped a stray tear from her cheek.
"I know.",Amy replied as she cuddled close to Horatio her head on his chest the soft beat of his heart helped her fall asleep as Horatio tighten his grip on her and kissed her head. He stroked her soft light brown hair he held her close with no intention of letting her go.
Flashback.
"Now that he's gone who will be there for me?",Amy asked as a few tears escaped her eyes. Horatio took her hand in his and gave it a gentle squeeze. Horatio and Amy became close since her father was finally arrested for several counts of Child Abuse.
"I will sweetheart.",Horatio replied as he pulled her into a hug.
"Thank you Lt Caine",Amy mumbled in his chest.
"Call me Horatio sweetheart. I will always be here I promise you I will keep you safe.",Horatio whispered in her ear.
-End Of Flashback-
Horatios POV
How the hell can anyone hurt a gentle soul like Amy? What the hell did she do to deserve this? Amy's been through hell all her life thanks to her poor excuse of a father. Since then she hasn't been the same. She's a strong and couragous woman who is very wise beyond her years. I would lay down my life for her I hate seeing her in so much pain.
She was sleeping so peacefully she looks like an angel when she's sleeping. I rubbed her back softly I wish I could take all the pain away from her.
"Amy sweetheart you are a strong and couragous woman I am so proud of you you come so far. You're beautiful inside and out I will always be here for until the end of time. You refuse to see the dark side of people you only see good in them. I love you sweetheart.",I whispered softly as I placed a kiss on her cheek. She smiled softly.
"I love you to Horatio.",She whispered I held her close and fell asleep.
3rd Person POV
Tomorrow is going to be a long haul for Amy but she was ready to overcome anything that stood in her way she was glad that Horatio is there for her. She missed him dearly she always felt safe around him. Amy opened her eyes and looked up at Horatio who was sleeping. He to had dark circles under his eyes since Marisol died it hit Horatio hard he didn't want to admit it but it did Amy could see it in his eyes. Since Horatio has always been there for her she knew that she needs to be there for him all the way. She hugged him before going back to sleep.
