Once the bullet hit me, I was hardly aware of anything but the pain, and the sensation of falling. I was falling and I knew I was going to die; nothing would stop that for if the fall itself didn't kill me the bullet would.
I hardly aware when Neo caught me, and then took me to a nearby building. So the fall wouldn't kill me after all – but the bullet inside me would – but if I had to die, at least it would be in his arms.
I opened my eyes to see his face for what I knew would be the last time, "I'm sorry, Neo, I had to. I couldn't let you both die."
"I know," he said.
I grabbed his hand, squeezing it with all the strength I have left, "I love you."
I see in his eyes an un-acceptance of the fact I am about to die in his arms, "The bullet is still inside." Before I can react he does something that causes me to jerk in pain. I cry out from the pain of it and then I see the bullet in his hand. He throws it away, and leans even closer to me.
"Hang on, Trin, please hang on."
I feel myself slipping, and I don't the strength to hang on any longer – not even for him, "I'm sorry."
I had heard out of body experiences before this. I never believed in them as I always thought they were just another form of manipulation the Matrix threw at us. Nevertheless I was standing beside my form in the Matrix, looking down as Neo quietly said, "Trinity?"
I watch him pick my head up, "Trinity, I know you can hear me. I'm not letting go. I can't. I love you too much to lose you now."
Then I see what he did to me to remove the bullet as he reaches inside my body again – then suddenly, I am again in my own body, gasping and opening my eyes. Seeing his face above mine, I only want one thing, and I sit up, wrapping my arms around him, kissing him as though he'd disappear out of my arms at any second.
I stop for a moment to gaze into his beautiful brown eyes, "Guess this makes us even." I say breathlessly before I began to passionately kiss him again.
