Calleigh looks at the nurse leaving and turns around, walking back to the chair on Ryan's side. She looks at Natalia, who opens her mouth, but Calleigh shakes her head no. She doesn't need her to say anything. She doesn't need sympathy, nor does she need anyone telling her she's acting like a madwoman. She knows she is, she can't help it. All she's been through...getting something with Josh, ending up kidnapped with Ryan and falling in love with him at the same time. No, that wasn't true. She fell in love with him way before she was kidnapped. She fell in love with him the moment she saw him. While being kidnapped she only realised she had fallen in love, and she needed to be with him.
Natalia closed her mouth again and Calleigh sat down, her hand finding his again, her fingers tangling with his. She needed him to prove he was strong, and he would make it like he promised her. She was not gonna let him break his promise to her. He promised her he would stay with her, he would be strong. He loved her, and he wasn't gonna leave her. She knew he was gonna be fine. Just fine.
She looked at Natalia. "Hey, would you mind to...you know...take a walk or anything?" Natalia looked up and nodded, standing up and leaving. Calleigh looked at Ryan and brushed a strain of hair out of his face. "Hey now babe...you know what you told me...prove to me I was right in loving you. Prove to me you're willing to fight for us. For your life, so I can be with you. I love you Ryan...and I don't know if you can hear me but...I love you and I need you. It's stupid that I never realized it but I need you."
