"It's almost one, are you guys hungry? I could go get something." Rossi said. He sounded distant. No one answered him but you did hear some shuffling around.

"I'll come back with some coffees." He spoke again.

There was more moving around, you felt something squeeze your hand. It took a second to realize that it was someone else's hand. It had a strong grip like they were afraid to let go. To your right, someone had placed both their hands on your forearm. They slid up and down before stopping at your hand.

"She looks so pale," Emily whispered. You assumed it was her hand that was on your arm.

"She looks better than yesterday," Derek said. His voice was straight ahead, most likely at the foot of the bed.

Yesterday?

That's when you heard the beeping of a heart monitor.

Am I in a hospital?

That's when it all came flooding back to you, the car coming at you. You tried to get out of the way and ended up flipping over.

Shit, I was in a car accident.

You opened your mouth to speak but it was so dry. You tied swallowing, it was hard but you did it. You cleared your throat.

"Can I get some water?" Your voice barely came out when you spoke. The room felt still like everyone stopped moving.

"Y/N?" Aaron asked not sure if he heard you speak or if that was just his imagination. You cleared your throat again and tried to open your eyes. Everything was blurry when they finally opened.

Derek was at the foot of your bed like you had thought, his hands on the railing. Emily was sitting to your left holding your hand. Aaron was on your right doing the same.

"I'll go get Savannah," Derek said and left the room.

"How long was I out for?" You asked anyone that would answer."

"Almost four days," Emily said.

"Shit." You mumbled and tried to shift your body weight. There was a sharp pain in your stomach which restricted your movement. You groaned and stayed still as humanly possible.

"Yeah, I wouldn't move if I were you," Savannah said when she walked in. "Welcome back to the world." She walked over to the side of the bed where Emily had sat.

"I forgot how bright it was." You joked.

She asked everyone to leave the room so she could check you out. Aaron never let go of your hand.

"When you were brought it you had a thick chunk of glass that went straight into your abdomen." She said.

She lifted the hospital gown to reveal your thick bandage. When she lifted it you could see the scar that went down your stomach.

"Ouch." You said and threw your head back on the pillow.

"That's what I said. It went through your kidney and some of the large intestine and a small part of your liver. It took a couple of hours but we were able to fix it all. I didn't expect you to be asleep for so long, so I'll be back later to run some tests to make sure that nothing was affected." She said. You nodded along.

"Don't try moving, at all." She said before she walked out.

You turn your head to face Aaron. You could see the tears in his eyes start to build up.

"No tears." You brought your hand up to his cheek. He put his hand over yours.

"I thought I lost you." His voice cracked.

Seeing him broken hurt. It took everything in you not to start crying yourself.

"I'm right here." You said.

He took your hand off his cheek and wrapped it in his. He kissed the back of your hand. You watched as he circled the back of your hand with his thumb.

It looked like he was too scared to let you go. Like you were gonna fly away if he let go.

"Do you know how they found me?" You asked. He looked up to you and cleared his throat.

"Uh- from what I was told, they called the cops and it took the paramedics almost an hour to get you out because you were flipped and the airbags. Savannah said it was a miracle you didn't bleed out." His voice got shaky and he held your hand tighter. "I was in the middle of talking to my mom about you when I got a call from your mom."

"My mom?" You asked.

"Yeah, she's your emergency contact. When they found your ID, they looked for your paperwork and got her number. She called me and I rushed over here. Rossi called me and asked if I wanted to get a drink, I told him and I assumed he told everyone else."

"And I've been out for three days." You're trying to make everything make sense. He nodded.

"I'm sorry I scared you." You whispered.

"I'm just happy you're breathing." He kissed your hand again.

Then you heard footsteps stop at the door. You turn your head to see your mom holding what you assume was a cup of coffee.

"I can't tell if I'm dreaming or not." She said.

"Hi." You said and watched as the smile grew on her face.

She walked over to the side where Emily had sat. She brushed the hair away from your face and kissed your forehead.

"I don't think I've ever been so happy to hear your voice before." She sat next to you.

"That's good to know." You smiled.

"Oh my baby, you scared me." Her hand fell to yours.

"So I've been told." You tried to smile but you could feel your eyes start to get heavy.

You could hear your mom mumble something about making sure your house was clean. You were shushed when you tried to protest. If your memory serves you correctly your apartment was still a mess. Before you had felt everyone was helping to look for your shoes. So everything was speared out with clothes everywhere.

"You should go home." You said and reached out for Aaron's hand.

"I'm not going anywhere." He said. You turned your head to see that he was being dead serious.

You opened your mouth to say something else but he stopped you.

"Just shut your eyes, I will be here when you wake up."

You tried to pull him closer but you didn't have the strength you thought you had. Your hand slipped right off of his. He got your message and stopped from his seat and leaned over the bed. He pressed his lips on your.

It was so soft you thought he had pulled away but he hadn't. Your hand went to his cheek when you thought he was going to sit back down.

When you finally pulled away you could see his pupils were dilated. Letting your body relax and shut your eyes and let yourself sleep.

~~~~~

When you opened your eyes again all there was to hear was the sound of the heart rate monitor beeping. Aaron and your mom were on either side of you. There head down on the bed.

"Good morning." Emily said from the doorway.

"What are you doing here so early?" You asked.

"I just wanted to check in before I went to the office." She walked in and handed you a cup of water.

"He's making you guys go back already?" You asked and gestured to Aaron who was slightly snoring.

"We all agreed once we knew you were ok we'd go back. And you're ok so, back to work we go." You nodded along. You tried to keep your eyes open and focused on what she was saying. But damn did they give you some good drugs.

"How you feelin." She asked.

"Better than yesterday." You smiled. "I can move a little more and now I have this big ass scar." You pointed to your stomach.

"Well I have the same one, you'll be ok." She smiled.

"Ha, matching scars cool." You chuckled.

"Just don't make any sudden moves."

"Well with these two around," You pointed to your mom and Aaron. "I don't think I'm gonna be going for runs with Derek any time soon."

"Good." She said her goodbyes and soon left for work.

Trying to keep yourself awake you looked through TV channels. Nothing caught your eye.

Right before you fell asleep again Aaron started to move around. You watched as he shifted his head in his arms. You raised your head and ran it through his hair to soothe him back to sleep.

You kept rubbing the back of his head until your eyes started to shut again.

~~~~~

Pulling out of your parking spot you pulled into the main road.

When you hear your phone ding you dig for it and throw your purse. When you pull up to a red light you pull your bag onto your lap. You finally found your phone and saw it was a text from Aaron.

"Are you on your way yet?"

"Yeah I just left I should be there in 20" You responded.

You threw your phone back in your purse and put it back on the passenger seat. You stepped on the gas when the light turned green again.

There were no other cars on the road. It was odd because the streets are always full around your apartment.

You shrugged it off and kept driving. Before reaching the other end of the street you heard a car horn blaring in the distance. Turning your head you could see a car coming right for you. You tried hitting the gas to move out of the way but your car wasn't moving.

"What the hell."

You pressed your foot harder but still you were moving. Each time you looked up from the pedal the car was getting closer. There was no sign of it slowing down either.

You tried to put the car in reverse but nothing. You could hear tires screeching but it was no use. When you looked up again the car was a foot away. You put your hands up to cover your face. You could see a shining light-

Jolting out of bed sent a sharp pain through your stomach.

"Fuck." You groaned and clenched your stomach. You slowly laid back down and shut your eyes to try and ease the pain.

"What happened? Are you ok?" Your mom asked lifting her head from the bed.

"I'm fine." You waved her off. You could Aaron head lift from the bed. You turn to face him. He reached his hand up and whipped the tear away from your check.

"Nightmare?" He asked as his thumb brushed your cheek.

Nodding you felt your hands starting to shake. You balled your hand up trying to get them to stop shaking. You took a deep breath trying to get the tears to stop running.

The heat was starting to rise in your cheek. You could feel your face getting red. You could feel yourself start hyperventilating.

"Hey look at me." Aaron's voice was muffled in your ears. He lifted your chin with his finger so you were looking at him. "Deep breath." He took a deep breath with you. He kept doing that until he could feel your hands have stopped shaking.

"What happened?" He asked calmly.

"I was in the middle of the road and I could get out of the way. I tried moving but the car wouldn't budge then the car came at me. I woke up before it hit me." You tried to not stutter over your works.

He nodded along as you spoke. He wrapped a careful arm around you and brought you close to him. The sound of his heart beating calmed you. It reminded you that you didn't die and you're still here with him.
