As Eric walked out of the jewelry store he had a huge smile on his face. He had finally found it, the perfect ring. He couldn't wait to see Calleigh's face when he put it on her finger. He was planning on surprising her with it as they had a nice dinner on the beach. He looked at the watch on his wrist which said 5:30. He had about two hours to get ready and he wanted to look good because he had to get Calleigh to say yes to this date.

He wasn't sure if she would though, because she still wasn't talking to him. They had gotten into an argument a few days before and he knew she was still upset. She wasn't taking his calls and she was only talking to him at work. But tonight, Eric would finally tell her how he truly felt, he wanted her to be his forever.

When he got into a car he saw that he had a few missed calls from Ryan so he called him back. "Hello?"

"Hey Ryan, what's up?"

"Eric, you need to get over to the hospital."

"Why? Are you hurt?" Eric asked, concerned.

"It's not me, it's Calleigh."

Eric immediately hung up the phone, started the car, and drove off. He didn't think twice about putting his seat belt on, he was determined to get to the hospital to see Calliegh. When he arrived he burst through the hospital doors and saw Horatio, Ryan, Natalia, and Jesse sititng in the lobby. They all had solemn looks on their faces and Eric was instantly worried.

"What happened, where is she?"

"She was hit by a car on the way home from getting the mail, the driver was speeding and he was drunk," Horatio said sadly and it looked as if he had been crying. Horatio hardly ever cried, and that was when someone dear to him died. Such as, Speed and Marisol.

"I have to see her."

"She's in critical condition and the doctors said that it would be best to wait until they come."

"I have to see her," Eric repeated and walked over to the receptionists desk. "What room is Calliegh Duquesne in?"

"Room 302."

"Thank-you." Eric rushed to the elevator and waited for it to come down. After what seemed like eternity, it finally did and Eric made his way up to the third floor. He burst through the entrance doors that said 300-315. He saw a room that numerous nurses were coming in and out of and realized it was 302, Calliegh's room. He ran in, almost knocking a nurse off of her feet. "Excuse me," he said then pulled open the curtain to see Calliegh.

There she was, Eric's everything, it broke his heart to see the sight of her. Her still, lifeless body was hooked up to numerous IV's and her face was paler than a sheet of paper. They hadn't changed her into a hospital gown yet so her clothes were all bloody and her right leg was put up in a cast. There was fresh blood running down the side of her face from a nasty cut. Her blonde hair was all messed up, and yet, she still was beautiful to Eric. At the moment, all Eric knew was that he was going to find that driver.

As Eric was about to go up to her, Eric realized he was not alone. "Eric, baby what are you doing in here?" A familiar voice called out.

"Hey Alexx."

"No one was supposed to come in here yet." she walked over and put her hand on his back.

"I know...but, I just had to see her." Tears were threatening to spill over but he wanted to hold them in, at least until Alexx left.

"Is she going to be okay?"

"Honestly, it's not likely that she will be, when the car hit her, she hit her head really, really hard. If she does wake up, its possible she might be brain dead or have memory loss."

No! this could not be happening! Eric couldn't imagine seeing his precious Calleigh like that or not having her at all. The tears really did start falling now, and Alexx stepped out so they could be alone.

Eric walked over to Calleigh and caressed her white cheek. "Calleigh, please, please don't leave me, I'm so sorry, Please come back, I love y-," Eric was cut off by the sound of the heart rate machine beeping.

A/N: Okay, so this was originally going to be a one-shot for the both of them but the creative juices in my head started going and I thought I might make a little story out of it. I don't really know, if you read tell me what you think and if I should continue it or just leave it as a one-shot.
