Olivia was getting ready for the President's gala, and even though she was thinking at a way of telling him happy birthday in a little private matter, her gut on the other hand announced her something bad was about to happen. Trying to get rid of that feeling, she went out the door.
Fitz and Mellie were on their way to the event, sitting in the limo in total silence both of them keeping the distance between them, Fitz clearly upset by the fact that she orchestrated all of this.
When the Secret Service opened the door for them, Mellie took Fitz's hand, smiling at the guests and then she looked at her husband only to see him staring at Olivia. She didn't get the chance to tell him that they were in public, when drops of blood stained her face, her husband's blood. When Olivia just realized his lover had been shot, another bullet went right next to her ear hitting the President one more time.
The last thing she remembered was his kind blue eyes looking right into hers before founding herself inside the hospital with everyone panicking, yelling and running around trying to save the President, checking on the First Lady and resuscitating the White House Press Secretary, Britta Kagan. She was still in shock, and by the time she snapped out of it and went looking for Fitz, the only thing she found was George Washington's pin which she gave to him covered in blood.
Cyrus saw her lying in her knees in the same spot where the doctors worked on Fitz knowing she was crying, and the first thing he thought about was getting her up before someone see her. When he was close enough he saw the pin in Olivia's hand and without realizing, tears begin to fall on his chicks.
Olivia sensed someone behind her so she turned only to see Cyrus stand there with dead watery eyes. "Where is he?", Olivia asked.
"Olivia… It's not…", he said without looking at her, but she interrupted him.
"Where is he?", she almost yelled not caring about the people around them.
"He is in surgery, and it's bad." He said with broken voice not wanting to fight her over this.
Next second she was running through the hospital halls, asking every doctor she came across with if they know where the President is and if they can help her get there. Cyrus decided it was best to let her be giving that he knows about their relationship. After a few more minutes of wandering around the hallways she saw a door open a few steps ahead and a boy which she thought was a resident stormed out, leaving behind him a voice yelling, " The President needs more blood".
Olivia approached the glass door before it closed, only to see the love of her life lying on a table, unconscious, covered in blood and surrounded by doctors. Then she saw her reflection in the glass she froze. Her hair was messed up, her once cream and shining dress was now stained, dirty and shredded and the fact that she had been crying destroyed her makeup.
The resident who left the room in a hurry came back with two bags of blood in his hands and saw Olivia stand in front of the door. "Mam you shouldn't be here, please go to the waiting room", and without saying another word he went right in. Olivia knew there was nothing she could do for him, but for some reason she had to be there, close to him so that he won't feel alone, praying for his health. A long acute sound wake her from her thoughts and she realize the sound and the screaming are coming from the room where Fitz was fighting for his life. She start moving towards the door in order to understand what they are saying, and in that exact moment she falls in her knees once again.
"FITZ!...", she yelled before passing out in the middle of the hallway.
The last words she heard will never leave her head. "Mr. President stay with me! You may not die! Stay with me! Mr. President..."
