100 themes in 500 minutes

My shot at the 100 themes challenge. I pick a random prompt, then spend five minutes writing and a few more editing. So these will be pretty short. Probably mostly Shules, but not all.

4. 68: Hero

A/N: Angsty, I know. I was thinking of having Shawn be the "hero" in this one, but I decided on Jules instead, because there just isn't enough whumping of her out there. So yeah.

68: Hero

Shawn sat by Juliet's bedside, head in hands, trying to avoid looking at her abnormally pale face and the bandages covering what seemed like every inch of her small body.

Images of what had happened flashed through Shawn's mind. Them walking hand in hand on the sidewalk and seeing a car speeding towards a child on the street. His Jules pushing the little kid out of the way at the last second, only to be hit herself. Calling 911 in a panic. Then the ride to the hospital, Juliet unmoving the whole way. She still hadn't moved

Shawn diverted his attention to the balloons in the corner, with the words "Get Well Soon" spelled out on them. The family of the child had brought them by to express their gratitude.

Oh Jules, why did she always have to be the hero?
