Chapter Three
As Mac sat by Claire's bedside,worried about her as he hoped that she would pull through, tears rolled down hs cheeks as he saw the scale of her injuries, he was scared for her life, not knowing if she would wake up or if she would remember what happened to her in that building, Mac called Stella and told her what happened to Claire as he told Stella, Mac was breaking down in tears as he spoke to her, worry clear in his voice.
Mac stayed where he was needed, with Claire who was barely hanging on, when Mac leant in and whispered " I need you to survive sweetheart please.", as he sniffled in despair, worried if she would ever come around from this, he knew that she would always have him to help her deal with it, he was damn sure of that and made a promise to himself that he was gonna protect her more than ever, he didn't want to lose her, hell he needed her in his life.
While watching Claire, it dawned on Mac just how much she meant to him and how much he loved her deeply, knowing that she was his reason for living and being happy, he knew this and he would tell her that too, if she woke up from this, he placed a soft kiss on her forehead, as he stayed by her side, silently watching her and hoping she would awaken and hopefully tell her how much she meant to him, he loved her with his life.
Not knowing when she would wake up, worried Mac to the very core, he decided that he was gonna remain by her side for as long as it took, he had to be here with as he didn't want her to wake up alone and scared of where she was.
As the hours passed, Claire had not woken up, Mac became more worried as he waited for her to wake up, he bit his nails out of sheer worry for Claire and he softly put his hand on her's, holding it in his own just needing her to wake up, he missed her and needed her so much.
A few days had passed since Claire's attack, and still no change in her status, until later that day, when Claire gripped his hand weakly, causing Mac to gasp as he looked up and saw her grip his hand, Mac sniffled as he watched her hoping that she would now wake up, Claire flickered her eyes a few times, before she woke up.
Mac gasped softly " Claire", as she then looked to him, " What happened?" she asked, Mac didn't know how he was gonna tell her, then said " Sweetheart you were hurt bad.", as Claire nodded while feeling outta it a little bit, as the doctor came around to check on Claire, finding her awake was good and he removed the tubes and kept her on the drip for the time being until she was a bit more stronger.
Mac stayed by Claire's side as he was where he needed to be, he wondered how to tell her what all happened to her, he was scared of telling her the truth, but knew he had to sooner or later, he wanted to get better first before he told her the horrible truth of the attack.
Can Mac find it in his heart to tell Claire the truth?
