Thanks for all of the reviews so far, I really appreciate them! ok so here's chapter 11, I don't know what you'll think of it, it was a little rushed but anyway here it is. Let me know what you think.

Bartlett was walking towards her, that grin on his face, she knew what was coming, how much it was going to hurt; she knew she needed it to stop, she couldn't let herself go through this again.

"Get off me!" Calleigh shouted "No please don't! Please… stop it! No!"

Eric woke up hearing Calleigh's shouts; she was thrashing around hitting him.

"Calleigh! Calleigh!" Eric said getting louder, trying to wake her, "wake up sweetheart, its ok he can't hurt you anymore." Calleigh began to calm down, opening her eyes to find Eric there.

"Eric."

"Its ok Calleigh, you had a nightmare."

"Sorry, did I wake you?" Calleigh apologized.

"Don't worry about it, are you ok?"

"Yeah, I am now," she smiled weakly at him, and rested her head back on his chest, pulling him closer. Eric wrapped his hands around her, hugging her to him. They just lay there in a comfortable silence, both trying to get to sleep, but neither of them able to. After about twenty minutes, Calleigh's body began shaking, Eric realised she was crying had pulled her closer to him.

"Calleigh, look at me," Eric started, Calleigh slowly looked up at him, "it's going to be ok Cal."

"It's just I can't stop thinking about it, it's as if the images are scratched onto the back of my eyelids so every time I close my eyes I'm back there, it's as if I never got out." Eric just held her he didn't know what to say, he wanted to tell her how sorry he was and how much he loved her, he knew she didn't need that right now.

"Calleigh I'm so sorry…" Eric began but Calleigh interrupted him, "this wasn't your fault Eric, you told me to be careful, I ignored you, thought I could handle everything on my own, I was wrong. I guess I'm not as strong as I thought I was, I always thought that I'd be able to handle anything, I used to see the rape victims at work, I felt sorry for them, but assumed that something like that would never happen to me, I wouldn't let it, but when he took me, I felt…." Calleigh started to cry, Eric just held her, "I felt scared Eric, I never feel scared, but I was terrified, I thought I was going to die."

"Sshh, it's ok, talk to me Cal, I don't want you to go through this on your own, I'm here for you."

"I thought it was never going to stop, he just kept going, he enjoyed it, I couldn't stop him, he was so heavy, my wrists were tied, I couldn't move. I can still smell him and feel him on top of me, touching me, it makes me feel sick. After the first time, all those years ago, it took me so long to dare to go out again on my own, it was over a year before I ran the same route that I ran that day, I don't think I'm strong enough to do this again, it was so hard, I just can't."

"Calleigh you're not on your own this time, you've got me, and everybody at the lab, we're going to help you through this, I care about you so much Calleigh, I love you, I won't let anyone hurt you again." Eric stopped, realising what he had just said, how could he be so stupid, she was upset, she'd just been through hell, and he chose this moment to tell her how he felt, he was stupid, so stupid.

"Eric… I…" Calleigh didn't know what to say, she'd been in love with him since she first met him, she didn't think he felt the same, he was too good for her, she didn't deserve him.

"Calleigh, I'm sorry that wasn't meant to come out like that, you don't have to say anything."

"Eric, it's ok, I love you too, more than you'll ever know," Calleigh lent over and placed a delicate kiss on Eric's lips, who returned the kiss. Calleigh pulled away resting her head on Eric's chest comforted by the knowledge that Eric loved her and that was all that mattered. She would get through this, she knew she would, after all, if she could do it on her own at 18, she could definitely do it now, with the help of her friends, with the help of Eric. They both drifted to sleep, in each others arms.

Eric woke up, suddenly aware that Calleigh was no longer with him, he looked at the clock, it was 6am, where was she? He got out of bed and walked towards her bathroom, he stopped outside, she heard her inside sobbing, he knocked on the door and tried the handle, opening the door. He stopped, worried by what he saw.

Calleigh was sitting in the corner of the room, her legs hugged to her chest, she had hold of the washcloth, and was rubbing her arms over and over they were red raw, he looked at the rest of her body, still covered in cuts, bruises and bite marks, her legs were also bright red, from where she'd rubbed them so hard. He ran over to her, holding her hand, it was shaking; he was trying to get her to stop.

"I've got to get him off me Eric, he's still there I can feel him, touching me, I need him off me, his touch, his smell, he won't go away." Calleigh tried to explain through the sobs. She hated this, needing him, but she couldn't help it, she did. He finally took the cloth off her and placed it on the sink, then sat down in front of her, and looked her straight in the eye.

"Calleigh, please don't do this to yourself, you're stronger than this, I know you are, we will get through this." He started to stand up, then bent over picking her up off the floor, he carried her back into the bedroom, placing her onto the bed.

"What about work?" Calleigh questioned, thinking they were supposed to be there.

"You can't go back to work yet, you know that, and H says I'm to stay here and look after you, which is just what I intend to do."

"Eric you don't have to, I'm quite capable of looking after myself thank you."

"You can argue all you like Calleigh you're not going to win; I'm staying here with you. So what do you want to do?" Calleigh smiled at him.

"I quite like the idea of spending the day doing nothing, how about we curl up on the couch and watch a movie?" Calleigh suggested, thinking that at least that way, they would have something to take their minds off recent events.

"Sounds good, you got any popcorn?"

"Of course," she replied. No longer than ten minutes later they were curled up on the couch watching a chick flick.

Just as the film was finishing there was a knock at the door.

"I'll get it," Eric said getting up from his current position next to her and walking over to the door, he opened it to find Rick Stetler stood there with another man who he assumed was another IAB investigator.

"We need to talk," Rick said walking uninvited into Calleigh's apartment, making his way to her living room.

Thanks for reading this, please read and review. Oh and evilmojojojo, your premonition may be coming true in my head so you never know, the next chapter maybe the one after that and besides you're doing evil things to Calleigh, so why shouldn't I?
