Your Guardian Angel:
‘I’ll be there for you through it all, even if saving you sends me to heaven cause you’re my… you’re my.. My true love my whole heart. Please don’t throw that away’ Red Jumpsuit Apparatus ‘Your Guardian Angel’
I knew the moment I stepped in the way that it was the wrong decision but at the time I was not thinking about my own safety I was thinking of the man I loved. The man who was trained to deal with this as I am not, I felt the bullet hit me. And I knew if this didn’t kill me the man who I had knocked out of the way would have done.
When you are faced with life’s choices to protect oneself or the person you love, then I will pick the person I love every time. Even if the person I love is a MI5 spy. As I felt pain rip through me I turned my head and looked into the eyes of the man I loved. If I was going to die I needed him to know.
‘I love you’ I whispered looking into his blues for what I did not know would be the last time or not.
It was then darkness descended and I was not sure if I was going to see him again.
Lucas’ POV
As I saw him pull out the gun there was two options. I could knock her out of the way. She was innocent in this. Her only crime was that she loved me. I would not let something to happen to her. The man in front of me pointed the gun. I needed to react. She would not be harmed. However, it would seem my girl was quicker. She pushed me on the floor as a bullet hit her. I was on the floor but she turned and mouthed that she loved me and fell to the floor. I screamed and ran at the man and knocked him clean out.
Gathering her in my arms, her light blue dress now seeping with blood. ‘Baby, please you have to hold on I can’t lose you’
The ambulance was coming but it was as if it was hours. I cried, the great Lucas North, the man usually noted for his coldness with the world. Cried as I held her in my arms. It was meant to be our anniversary one year since we had told each other that we loved each other. It was meant to be a night that was perfect for each of us. I was going to ask her to come away with me for a few days. Now I was sure this day was going to be my worst nightmare.

The Hospital was frantic as she got there. And I watched as she was whisked into intensive care. Harry, my boss met me in the corridor.
‘Lucas, what happened?’
‘I don’t know’
The older man put an arm on my shoulder. Harry and I may have our disagreements but he knew what the girl lying in the hospital bed fighting for her life meant to me. I leant against the wall breathing hard. It was likely I could get a flashback because of this but I wouldn’t allow myself I needed to be strong for her. She needed me. Sinking to the floor I took deep breaths.
Who would have thought twelve hours before it was so different? How I wish now that fairytales and magic existed and I could go back to that moment. It was then I heard the scream for a crash team and I thought my world was ending. Oh to be back to twelve hours before.

Twelve Hours earlier…
He held me in his arms. He didn’t want to let me go. He never did after he had been away for a few nights. I smiled to him as I reached to kiss the top of his nose.
‘We can’t stay in bed all day, although I would love to’ I smiled.
‘I want to stay here’ he laughed. Pulling me closer to him, causing my body to react towards him. As it always did. Who would have thought a year ago we had made a pledge we had declared that we loved each other and we would fight for each other if we needed to. We hadn’t physically but mentally we did every day. I loved this man more than I could ever have imagined. It was hard not to. It depended on what Lucas people knew. The one who was seen as cold when he was at work. Or the Lucas I saw when he came home who was so loving so kind. I had no doubt with the words that he spoke to me that he did not mean them. One thing I knew he could never lie to me.
