Rafael woke up and frowned. He realised that Maddie wasn't in bed next to him. He was worried over his girlfriend. He knew since she had found out over the truth over Amanda. Since she had lost their baby that she had fallen into a depression but he knew that she wouldn't talk over it and he was worried

He stood in the doorway of the living room as he saw Maddie. She was wearing one into his shirts and she looked exhausted. She had her hair in a bun and she looked out of it as she tried to fight sleep

"Madeline will you come to bed" he said as she jumped

"I'm fine"

"Bullshit"

"I am fine. I'm not tried"

"You are exhausted. Madeline I am worried over you. When is the last time you slept" he said as she looked to him with tired eyes

"I don't need to sleep. I need to feel something. I need to feel something other than numb as it's just too much" she said

"And I need you to be okay. Your my girlfriend and in so worried over you. If I have to I will commit you and make sure that you sleep" he said

"You wouldn't" she said

"Don't question what I'd do for those I love. That's you. I love you the most in worried over you. You're mental healthy. I'm worried I'm going to loose you" he said as she smiled

She rested her head onto the shoulder as she pulled him into his arms

"I've got you mi amour. I'm not going to let anyone hurt you" he said as he lay back in the couch with her as she fell asleep in his arms

Maddie got to the hospital where they were working in a case over serial rapists as she saw Sophia and smiled

"You good to be back?" Maddie asked as Sophia looked to her and smiled

"And your good"

"One step at a time. I'm moving forward. Nick has been there" Sophia said

"Rafael has been unbearable. He said he would commit me if I didn't sleep" Maddie as she smiled

"I know he called me worried over you. He thinks you're shutting him out. Don't. My brother loves you and you two have been  through a lot" Sophia said

"I guess" Maddie said as they walked into the room where they saw the victim

"Can you describe him" Sophia asked

"He was African-American...In a hoodie. When I got to my front door, he put a gin against my back, said...I know you want it."

"You saw the gun?" Maddie asked. She knew that this was the third victim

"I felt it. He pulled up my skirt, threw me face down on the floor while he...Put on a condom.He raped me.I begged him to stop, but he just started beating me." She said

Maddie sat back in the squad room. She was trying to get her into these cases but she knew it hit home with her. She glanced to Sophia and smiled. She knew that she was also struggling and was glad that she wasn't the only one
