Eric POV
I saw light coming trough the windows. Wait, what? Light? Windows? I was awake! I was finally awake! "Can we get him for 30 minutes or something like that?" a guy asked the nurse. I groaned. I looked next to at the couch. No Nell. Where was she? "Where is Nell?" I asked coughing. "You're awake, good because we are going to need you" the guy said and walked towards my bed. "Who are you?"I asked as he helped me out of my bed. "He can only be 45 minutes gone" the nurse said and rolled a rolchair over to my bed. The guy helped me in it and rolled me to the exit door. "Who the hell are you?" I asked now loud and clearly. "I am Dennis Bolsen and I'm gay so don't worry, Nell is yours. I am her best friend and I grew up with her and now she needs you" he said and sat me in his car. "What do mean with she needs me?" I asked when he took a corner. "If you don't stop her she is going to jump and then you have a funeral" he said and stop at a house. Or better whats left of it. It looked like it was once in a fire and didn't survived it. Someone stood on the edge of the roof. Dennis helped me out of his car and trow my arm around his neck. He helped me walking to the roof and there I saw it. It was Nell who was standing there. "NELL! DON'T DO IT!!"Dennis screamed at her and I got myself out his grip. "NELL!!"I screamed and walked towards her. "Eric?" she said her brain still processing it. "ERIC!!" she yelled and ran to me. I think Her plan was hugging me but I ended on the ground with Nell above me. "You are awake"she whispered. Our heads were milimetres of each other. Is it normal if you can hear your heart beating? Because that was what I heard. She heard it and blushed looking into my eyes. "I'm awake" I said and a tear felt down of her face. "Why are you crying?" I asked wiping the tears away. "I'm just so happy" she whispered. "Then stop crying" I chuckled. She chuckled soft and her face was starting to be red. "Did you hear me?" she asked. "All of it" I said and placed a kiss on her lips. She didn't let me go and her face was red. I was kissing her. Finally after almost 2 years I was kissing her. Just one piece of me found it bad. I mean you're kissing your colleague. Your partner. Does it matter? Nope not at all. It was perfect. I hoped it was not a dream. But it was. Nell let go and grabbed a knife from behind her. She stabbed it in my stomach and I looked at her. "I hate you" she said.
After that everything started to blur away. Nell disappeared. The dark box came back and I realized that I dreamed it all. No no no no! For gods sack I hated this! I was trapped in the dark. Again. I wanted to wake up, for real now. I couldn't handle this anymore. "Eric?" someone asked. It was Nell. I realized that I was moving my head without even knowing it. I was trying to catch up my breath. "Eric?" she asked again. With my breath under control I tried to open my eyes. A little bit of light came into the dark. Immediately I closed my eyes. Too much light. Eric wake up! That's not helping. I opened my eyes and saw everything in a blur. Where was I? Really you're gonna ask that? You're in the hospital. You have already figured that out, stupid! So I was in the hospital. "Oh my god Eric!" Nell said. She placed my glasses on my nose and everything came into focus. She was hanging above me with the end of her hair touching my face. "Hey" I whispered not able to say something out loud. "Welcome back" she responded with a smile on her face. God she was beautiful when she did that. "You know that you're beautiful when you do that?" I said. Wow, are you that stupid? You must know that you can't flirt. You are horrible at that point. Nell blushed and I tried to sit up but everything started to hurt. "Don't do that, not even try" she said pulling me back on my bed. "You've 2 broken ribs and a broken leg". I groaned.
"He is awake?" Katherin asked ruining our moment. "I am" I said and she walked to my bed. "How did you do that?" she asked. "Well, you're going to run if someone is after you right?" I answered and she chuckled. "You were being chased?" Nell asked now with a serious look on her face. "I think so, but can we please talk about something else. I'm just awake guys" I said dealing with the fact I had to lay down on the bed. I tried again to sit up or at least get something higher than this. Nell looked at me and give me her stare that tells you 'if you do that I'm gonna kill you'. I gave up after her stare and laid down again. Katherin sat on the bed and started to eat her chocolate. "Well, I'm glad you're okay" she said. "Yeah me too" Nell said but I could see that she wanted to say something else. "Give me some" I said to Katherin pointing at the chocolate. "Nope, you can't eat yet, and if you could it was all mine" she said. I felt a sin under my nose. "How long was I gone?" I asked. "Almost 3 weeks" Nell answered. "And you run OPS that time alone?!" I said. "Yep, and I have to do that another 2 weeks". "Why?" I asked. "Wat do you think?" Katherin asked. "Recovering?" I said as a question. She nodded. "I would have known" I said. "Well, you're not smart enough" Katherin said teasing him. "I'm smart enough to know you have a new neighbor without even come to your house". "How do you kno-" her question was cut off by a nurse who said that Nell and Kat better let me rest. They said goodbye and Kat shot me a glare. 'This is not over, yet' she signed to me in ASL. 'I know' I signed back. They left as I fell back asleep.
