Eric's P.O.V.

I could feel how Nell was trying to lighten the mood and convince them that we were okay, so decided to help her and tell a joke "You know, it's hard to explain puns to a kleptomaniacs, because they always take thing so literally!"
Nell and I started laughing so hard that my ribs hurt me.

I started coughing and I couldn't breathe.
I immediately stopped laughing and so did Nell. My coughs got bigger and bigger.
Black dots started to blur my vision.
"Eric?!" Nell said as she panicked and yelled for a nurse.

The black dots completely covered my vision and deep darkness overtook me again.

Nell's P.O.V.

The nurses left our room. They had given Eric a big dose of morphine. He was now deep asleep. I looked at my phone. It still stood on the table. And what was more crazy was that neither the team or us had hung up so the call was still going on. "Um..." Kensi said. They all looked very concerned.
Sadness filled the room.
I felt like just sitting in a corner and cry. Just to let it. But I couldn't.
Tears welled up in my eyes. "Bye." I said as I pushed the 'end call' button. I put my phone in my bag. I took a deep breath. "Don't break down Nell" I whispered to myself.

Everything that happened crashed down on me. I moved closer to Eric and took his hand. I grabbed a pillow and cried into it. And before I knew it I fell asleep. It all made me tired.

Someone held a hand in front of my mouth. I tried to scream but I couldn't. Fear rushed trough my body. I had never been so scared. Just as I thought I couldn't get any more terrified, I looked at Eric. The guy grabbed his gun and aimed at Eric. He fired it. The bullet hit his heart. The hand I front of my mouth disappeared. "ERIC!!!!!!!!!!!" I screamed. I ran to his side. Suddenly I heard a voice: "Nell!" It all disappeared.

I opened my eyes. Bright light blinded me.
"Nell?" I looked up at Eric. He was lightly shaking me.

My arm hurt like hell. My cheeks was stained with tears.

"You were screaming and hitting the air. I was afraid if I didn't wake you, you would have hurt yourself". "I'm so sorry!" I sobbed. He opened his so that I could hug him. I sobbed into his chest.

"That was a pretty bad dream, huh? Wanna tell what it was about?" He asked. I sighed. Eric said: "I woke because you were screaming. I thought someone were trying to hurt you. Again."
I looked at him. "Someone shot you." I looked down.

"I guess our weakness and strength lie in each other". "You sound like Hetty" I giggled.

I loved how he could just make me laugh when I felt like falling apart. He put me together. He was a part of me. He completed me. I could not live without him. "I live you, you know? More than anything" I kissed him "but I live you the most!" He said as he kissed me. God I was lucky.
