after many weeks of recovering and finally being able to move without cringing in pain I was able to go back to the office and of course Mac was always making sure I was alright. While I was walking past Mac's office to go towards the lab that was when bullets rang throughout the building. I immediately dropped to the floor and that was when I felt the pain surge through my body, when I looked over to Mac he was covering his head and I saw several other people struggling as well. When I managed to get behind a stone pillar I looked over to Mac and he was holding onto one of our co-workers. After everything was soon over I was sitting on the floor clenching my fist as the pain radiated throughout my side. I was struggling to get my pain medication from the bottle and when Mac saw this he quickly came over to me. He quickly pulled a pill from the bottle I had and I immediately swallowed it.
"Sarah are you alright?"
"Y-Yeah, Yeah I'm fine"
soon after all the chaos I was taken to an ambulance and I knew I would be alright. Mac of course came running to me after everything was settled and when I smiled at him he looked into my eyes and he held onto me tightly.
"I am so sorry"
"For what?" I asked with a smile.
"I should have went to you first not anyone else. I-"
"Mac I am fine I promise, please don't do this. Remember the doctor told me I would still feel some pain if I over exerted myself. That is exactly what I did"
He nodded and when I kissed him right on the lips I could feel all the tension just melt away. I could feel the love I had for him surge through my body and I smiled when I slowly pulled away from the kiss.
Soon I was back in my office while Mac was dealing with the guy who nearly killed us and our co-workers. While I was finishing up in the office on my case files that needed to be finished I was walking towards Mac's office and I placed my finished files on his desk. As I did that was when I saw a picture just underneath his calendar. I looked around and when I pulled the picture from its hiding spot that was when I saw a blond haired woman and Mac smiling brightly beside her as he held onto her tightly. I looked at the photo and I realized this was his wife who died during the twin tower attacks. I quickly tucked the photo back in its hiding spot and I walked towards the elevators. When I heard it chime and I bumped into Mac I was about to be lost for words when I saw the blood and cuts all over his face.
"Mac what happened?"
"I am fine don't worry"
I then smiled and almost chuckled and when he looked at me he held onto me tightly. I almost forgot about the picture of his late wife but for some reason my mind kept racing back to the picture I had found. His wife's death was coming up soon and mine was next week. I knew he would see the request for leave. I knew he would tell me I could go. And I knew I would be leaving alone. While I was at home I heard Mac coming from the shower and I quickly put Emily's teddy bear in the shoe box that I kept it in since I was with Mac. Emily's screams echoed in my head. The glass smashing from the window as Emily grabbed my hand and rushed me to her room.
"Sarah don't move, stay quiet everything will be alright. What ever you do don't make a sound"
when she closed the doors to the closet that was when the screams of pain and the sounds of her being beaten to death as I watched through a tiny crack in the door way.
"Sarah, Sarah, Talk to me Sarah. What are you seeing?"
I quickly snapped out of my thoughts and I just smiled at Mac and I held onto him while he was still wrapped up in a towel. I could feel the warmth of his body surge through my skin as I held onto him. The water from his air dripping onto my arm as he held onto me tightly.
"I'm fine I promise, I will be alright"
"Are you sure?" he asked.
"Yeah, the anniversary of her death is coming up, I wouldn't mind going back home for a short time"
"Let's go then, I'll come with you"
I looked at him in shock and before I could say no or anything else my head just nodded at him and before long I was wrapped up in his arms with my thoughts coursing through my mind. I was going to be taking Mac home with me. My parents were going to be seeing who Mac Taylor was.
