"Elle? Elle, where are you Elle? Elle!"

In the distance, female screams

Male laughter all around me.

I can't find her. I just can't find her.

"ELLE!" I scream at the top of my lungs, over and over and over again.

"Morgan?" I hear faintly, almost inside my head. It's slowly growing louder.

"Morgan? Morgan? Morgan you're scaring me. Derek!"

Then I open my eyes

"Derek? What happened, you were saying my name." Elle looked at Derek totally bewildered.

"Bad d-dream." he replied, he was visibly shaking.

"About?" Elle asked

"You. You were s-screaming, and I couldn't find you. There was this guy he was laughing. He was all around me. But all I could see was the light of a candle, and everything else was black." Derek said.

"Derek, I'm right here, you'll never loose me. I promise." Elle said.

"Elle, what happened to you made me realize that-"

"Excuse me, Miss Greenaway; I need to speak with Agent Morgan for a moment." A nurse said from the doorway.

"I'll be right back." Derek said

"Yes?"

"These are the results of her rape kit, sir." the nurse said.

"Oh, God. Uh, thank you. I'll let her know."

"Ok."

"Thank you."

"It was nothing, sir."

"What was that about?" Elle asked. She watched Derek intently as he walked over and sat down in the chair next to her bed. He hadn't sat in the chair since her first day back in the hospital. He was happy keeping her company in the bed.

"Uhh, cough cough Elle, your, uh, resultscameback." He sped through the last words.

"What? I didn't catch that."

"Your results, they came back."

"Derek, w-what are my results." Elle said, her eyes tearing up.

"The clock came back as r-rape." he said, his own eyes tearing up as he moved over to take her in his arms.

"Oh, Elle, I'm, so sorry." He said, as she sobbed on his shoulder.

A little over a half hour later, Elle picked her head up, and wiped away her tears, as she said, "I almost forgot, what where you going to say?"

"Uhh, Elle, I'm in l... I'm in l... I'm in l-love with you. Elle, I always have been. I can't just sit around and not do anything about it, it hurts too much to see you go through this alone, I want to be with you only you." he said.

"I love you too. I need you to be here for me." And with that, she locked eyes with him, and gently, almost hesitantly, moved her lips against his.
