Open Your Eyes – Snow Patrol (Set in "Near death" s8 ep 18)

After Christine left, Jo went to Mac's hospital room and sat in the chair right beside the bed. She looked at him and almost burst into tears. He looked so pale and fragile. It hurt so much to see him like that. If she could she would take that bullet for him.

"Please Mac, open your eyes, please" she said as she took his hands and wrapped between hers.

"There are so many things I didn't tell you that I need you to know. You can't just leave like this. You just can't. I need you here with me. I need you to know I love you. I love you more than you will ever know. Can you just wake up so I can look into your beautiful eyes and tell you this? And you don't have to say it back; I just need you to know that."

She said as tears streamed down her face. She couldn't afford to lose him now or ever.
