Heyy guyz!! Thank you soooo much for all of the amazing reviews!! :D They fuel me to write even faster…like these three chps in 3 days :)
You guys are awesome!! Hope you enjoy Eric's POV!! It's not as sad as Calleigh's…and I found that the last chp was a little OOC for Calleigh but I think that cuz she is now a mother she would feel more strongly for her kids, especially if one of them is in trouble…but u guys liked it so that's all that matters. So enjoy!! Less angsty!! SUPER SHORT AS WELL!!
Disclaimer: I don't own it but I would like to talk to the producers to see…no?? Are you sure??...They are laughing at me again…sigh

Eric…
Pain. Anxiety. Confusion. Fear. Anger. Sadness.
I can't move. Paralyzed. I can't feel. I'm scared. I'm worried. I don't know what to do. I hear, but I cannot act. I am numb. People around me, frozen. In fear? In sorrow? In pain? I can't tell. I do not even know why I am paralyzed. I can't even think straight. I hear a voice. Telling me what to do. Telling me to call for help. I can't. I can't move. I can't think. I can't breathe. I can't…
No.
I can't do this. I can't do nothing. I can't just stand here and watch my son suffer. I need to do something. My son needs me. He is in trouble. I have to help him. Come on, you can do it. I move my arm slowly. Pain shoots up my arm. Excruciating pain. I can do this. Get through it, the pain, for Derek. He needs you. Lizzie needs you. Calleigh needs you.
Calleigh.
Is she okay? She isn't moving. She doesn't even look like she is breathing. I need to get her to move. Derek is on his way to the hospital, we need to go. I tug at her, and, with almost no effort, she moves with me. It's like she isn't in there anymore. She isn't Calleigh. I need to get her back.
Strength.
I feel it, moving through me. I can feel once again. I wrap my hand around hers tightly. I don't want to let her go. I refuse to let her go. Not now. Not ever. I need her now. We need her now. Her family. I need to get her back. But how?
I loosen my grip on her hand slightly, thinking that I must be hurting her. I look out to my side at the moving pictures. They were moving so fast. No. I am moving, in a car. Who is driving? I see red hair and relax. I hear sirens.
I turn to look at Calleigh. She moved her head, her eyes now trained on our joined hands. I smile at her and thank God that she has responded to me in some way. I lift our hands and bring the back of hers to my lips. Kissing it gently, I reassured her that everything will be okay. That Derek will be fine. That we will get through this.
I lower our hands and look at her. Her eyes are now on me. I smile weakly, not able to complete it. I see her attempt to smile back, however it looks more like a grimace. Typical Calleigh. Grin and bear it. But this time it's different. I see the pain in her eyes. I see the fear. The anxiety. The anger. The sorrow. It's clear in her now dull green eyes.
Glancing over her features I note that her porcelain skin is now pale, her eyes losing their bright colour, her hand trembling in mine. This is affecting her more than I had imagined. Her maternal instinct had kicked itself into overdrive. She looked like she was having a nervous breakdown. That is not typical Calleigh.
I shift in my seat, moving closer top her, using my free hand to pull her head down onto my shoulder. I kiss the top of her head and inhale her scent, the scent that never failed to calm me down.
That's it!
A melody then came from my shut lips, soft and soothing. I squeeze her hand lightly, showing her that she is not alone. I feel her body tense at first and I begin to worry. Then she calms down and eases herself into my body. I feel her let out a breath. I bring my hand to her face, wiping away the rivers of tears flowing freely down from her eyes.
Continuing to hum to her, I feel my own eyes burning. Hot tears streaming down my face. I did not bother to wipe them away. I was too preoccupied with convincing myself that Derek was going to be okay. That we were going to be okay. Cuz we are.
Aren't we?
