Eric POV:
I felt horrible for what i said. What had Ryan been through? I wonder and i carry on examining the evidence
Natalia POV:
I run to Ryan's side as his body goes limp. I check his pulse and i let out a breath of relief.
"Ryan?" i say and tap his cheek as my other hand dallied Eric.
"Ryan, please wake up" i try again but no answer.
"Oh god Ryan please don't leave me" i say as tears well up in my eyes "just wake up please, open those big chocolate eyes for me, please you can't leave me now." I say tears well and truly flooding down my cheeks.

Eric POV:
I finished with the evidence and was heading to Caleigh when i had a phone call, i answer.
"Delko"i say
"Eric its Natalia come to my crime scene now!"
"What why?"
"Ryan was attacked i got up to where he was and that SOB Nick was on top of him strangling him!"
"WHAT!?"
"Eric please hurry h..He's...unconscious, i don't know what to do"
"ok im on my way" i say as i hang up and run to get Caleigh.
"Cal, come on we got to go to Ryan's and Natalia's crime scene, Ryan was attacked by Nat's psycho ex"
"what oh god is he ok" she asks as we run to the SUV.
"i don't know Nat said that Nick was on top of him strangling him and i don't know anything else but that he is unconscious. I say as we speed off down town.
Ryan POV:
I hear a buzzing in my ears, soon the buzzing turned into a mumble, then into a voice, I know that voice. Natalia. I think to myself, and then the voice started to sob big heaving sobs. My eyes flutter open.
"N...Nat" i manage to say. My voice came out as a crock.
"oh my god Ryan, i..i..i..Thought i lost you"
"i...I'm...o..okay...do...don't...need...a..hosp.. Hospital" i said, every breath hurt an d left my throat burning.
"no Ry you have to go your hurt"
"no..i...i..cant"
"Ryan pl-"
"pl...Pleas..Don't..m..Make..Me"
"fine at least let me see you. Where are you hurt?"
"R..Ribs..Ne..Neck...mo..Mouth" I say
"okay I'm going to take off your top, Ok?"
"mmm hmm"i replied as i felt her hands tug my t-shirt from my pants, and the buttons being undone.
"ohh my god! Ryan!" she gasps
"w..hat?"
"your all black and blue!"she sobs
"h..hey..I'm ok..ay" i try to comfort her
"Ryan i..i..oh god.. you look so..so..." she sobs harder i sit up and fight the pain and enveloped her in a hug "he..y..I'm ok..ay"

"Ryan it was Nick" she sobs
"its..o..okay..n..ow..he..i..s..go..ne"
"I'm so sorry Ry"
"wh..y?"
"this is all my fault, he..he came back for me, and nearly killed you in the process" she says as she pulls back. And looks at my bruises, confusion crosses her beautiful face and i now she has seen my previous wounds.

"Tal..ia please.. n..ot no...w i... wil...l... tell.. y..ou la..ter i ju...st want.. to.. ge..t.. ou..t of.. he..re, can you.. h..elp m..e up?" he croaks out. I take his hand and help him up, he groans as pain flowed through his body, Once he was up he let go of my hand.
"th..There...see..im..g-" he manages before his knees wobble's and he fell forward, i catch him and he leans on me taking big breaths, we were stood there and let him lean his weight on me, when he talks first.
"Na..t i h...ave to te...ll you som..ething"

"what?"

"i..i..i..thi..think im..in..l" his speech was interrupted when we hear the front door open i feel Ryan tense and moves me behind him as if he was my personal body guard, i then decided he was the one for me, if he wanted.

Ryan POV:
i step in front of Natalia, going into protective mode. I hear footsteps coming up the steps and i get ready to attack anyone who dares to be a threat to my Talia. The only woman i will ever love.
The door burst open and...
