Eric's P.O.V

My flush of anger was gone and had been replaced with a heavy sadness.

Nell had fallen asleep on my chest. At first she had cried for what felt like hours. But then the sobs became sniffles. At the end she finally fell asleep. I looked at my phone. Nell had now been sleeping for 1 and a half hour. I lightly stroked her hair.

I felt guilty because I couldn't protect Nell. I should be able to protect my girlfriend. When the attack happened I actually think she gave the guy more kicks and blows than I did. It felt like I was choking because of all the guilt. It was my fault that she was so sad.

I felt Nell stir. She sat up and opened her beautiful hazel eyes. Both her cheeks were red from the crying and beating earlier. "Um... does the team know about what happened?" I asked.

Nell's P.O.V

"Um... does the team know about what happened?" He asked me. He was looking down at his hands. I could not see his face but his voice was full of guilt. He looked up at me. Guilt was spread all over his face. What was he feeling guilty over?

He looked down at his hands again. "Nell, I'm so sorry" he asked me. Seeing him this sad broke my heart. "For what?" I asked a little confused and sad. "For not being able to protect you" he said as he looked up again but only for a few seconds.

"No, no, no! This is NOT you fault!" I said quietly but with a firm voice.

He looked up at me and we made eye contact. "Don't you dare blame yourself for what happened!" I said to him while keeping eye contact. "But Nell I'm suppose to protect you!" He said. I could see that he was upset with him self. His whole body was tensed up and I could see that it hurt him physically and mentally.
He winced in pain. "Relax your body. And he did this to me so don't blame yourself or I'll kill you." I said as I lightly placed both my hands on his shoulders. "You spent too much time with Kensi" he clucked.
I quickly moved my hands away. Now it was my turn to wince in pain. I looked down at my broken arm. There was a cast on it. I looked back at Eric.

Eric's P.O.V.

I looked a Nell's arm. There was a white cast on it. Nell's face revealed that it hurt a lot. "How did that happen?" I asked. It sounded like I completely forgot what happened. I just didn't remember her arm being broken. "He kinda held pretty tight onto my arm..." She said as she looked down at her damaged arm. I took her broken arm very carefully and placed a soft kiss it. I looked up in her eyes. She was smiling for the first time since the whole thing. "I love you" she told as she kissed me gently on the cheek. I answered: "I love you too"
