When I opened my eyes I could barely see anything. I was struggling to move and when everything came into focus I saw chaos all around me. The building I was in was collapsed. I could hear Mac in the distance and when I tried to move to answer him my screams filled the air around me. I struggled to move and when I looked to where I was injured I saw a large metal pipe sticking from my side. I heard Mac was moving debris from everywhere. When I heard him calling for my name I tried to scream his name but the pain was to much.
"SARAH"
"M-M-Mac"
when he finally heard me he quickly found me and he saw the wound I had and how I was struggling to stay conscious. As is was looking at him he finally got to me and he held my hand. I could feel the sheer strength from him and I saw the blood coming from his head wound. I was struggling to stay awake.
"Sarah stay with me please, Sarah open your eyes your going to be alright"
I just looked at him and that was when everything went blank. My dreams were filled with the memories of what happened to Emily and growing up knowing the tragedy that could occur to me as well. Me not getting close to anyone. And now that I was with Mac a different tragedy was going to Ensue. Yet as everything was pure chaos around me I remembered the good times I had with Mac. The moment I first walked through those doors and the way I saw him looking at me as I was very thorough with my work. The moment he asked me about Emily and how he got me through the hard times. The moment he stayed over at my place for a movie and how when I awoke with the nightmare that plagued my dreams almost every night he was there to hold me as the tears streamed down my cheeks. The first moment I gave him a kiss and waking up in his embrace. All of that was coursing through my mind. And yet now that was all going to be taken away. Mac and I were walking into a building trying to solve a murder and while we were talking about dinner and possibly a stroll through the park that was when the bomb went off and both of us flew back. Now we were part of a different crime scene. Mac barely injured and me fighting for my life. When I slowly opened my eyes I could hear a steady beep noise and I felt air rushing through my nose as I took gentle breaths. I could feel something attached to my hand and when I slowly moved my head I saw the city lights flashing around in the darkness of a window. As I turned my head I saw Mac was asleep beside me on a chair. The first time I ever saw him sleeping and I smiled as I saw how peaceful he looked. I smiled as I just laid where I was. Everything coursing through my mind and yet all I wanted was to just watch him sleep peacefully. I could see the bandage covering his wound from the blast. While I was watching him I noticed the sun slowly rising and illuminating my hospital room. When I saw Mac waking up I smiled a little as I watched him slowly wake up. When he looked at me he looked away for a brief moment and when he noticed I was smiling at him he quickly got up and was beside me in a blink of an eye.
"Sarah your awake" he said softly.
I just smiled at him as I looked into his eyes. The sense of relief was coursing through his body as he held onto me ever so gently. When I touched the bandage that covered his wound he held his cheek closer to my hand and I felt a single tear escape my eyes. My recovery was long and tedious yet I knew I had to try recover. Of course Mac was always with me to try and help me recover. After a week off I finally convinced Mac to go back to work. While I was laying on his couch with a very good book in my hands and a small glass of red wine he was getting dressed.
"Are you sure your-"
"Detective Mac Taylor... I promise you a million and one times I will be fine."
he smiled at me and I slowly and painfully got up from the sofa and I walked over to Mac. I could see the concern in his eyes and when I got to him I made sure his tie was on perfect and I gave him a very gentle kiss on his cheek.
"You have to go to work, I promise I will be fine, plus I have you on speed dial. You will be the very first person I call before anyone else"
he smiled at me and walked towards the door. Once it was closed I walked over to the washroom and I ran the best bath in history. When I got out I of course saw three missed calls and almost ten messages. When I called Mac back he seemed almost frantic.
"Where have you been what's wrong?"
"Mac calm down I was just taking a bath, now I'm going to read a book I have been meaning to read for the longest time and im going to enjoy a nice cup of red wine"
I could hear the relief in his voice while we were talking and when I hung up I sat down on the couch and laid down while I read a book and enjoyed some time to myself.
