Truth Matters Chapter 3

Scully's POV

Ice queen. I can't belive he said that! What a jerk! I walked down the stairs quickly and deep in thought. I can't belive I slapped him. Mulder. I slapped Mulder... but he deserved it! Oh yes, he deserved it! Well... now it's over. It's not what I really wanted or hoped for but maybe it's the best. The best for both of us. The best for me. I can start over... be a doctor. Do I really want that? Do I want to just leave Mulder...?

I stopped walking for a moment and looked up the stairs. Should I climb these stairs and go back to him? Talk to him? Make the pain in my heart go away and just be with him? Can I just do that after everything that happened? The truth is I can't.

I continued to walk down the stairs and left the building. I rushed to my car and closed the door loudly. I took a deep breath, started the engine and took off. Five seconds later I heard a loud noise and after that I saw a car coming up to me. I stopped breathing for a second and tried to get out of the way. I screamed as the car crashed into me. I didn't feel any pain... everything went black.

Mulder's POV

A young man came up to me and looked at Scully. He frowned.

"Should we get her out of the car?" He asked me.

"No...no, I don't think we can do anything. It'll just make it worse..." I told him shakily. He nodded.

"Do you know this woman?" He asked gently.

"Yeah... yeah, I know her. She's my... she's my friend." I said and laid a hand on her cheek.

"Help will be here soon." He said and nodded at me.

"Yeah... thank you." I whispered, not taking my eyes off of Scully.

"You're going to be okay, Scully... you have to." I whispered, stroking her hair.

A few minutes later the ambulance came and took care of her. The police wanted to ask me some questions so I had to stay at the crash scene and couldn't drive to the hospital right away. Finally after what seemed like hours they let me take off. I was annoyed and I was scared... scared to death. I pulled out my cellphone and dialed Skinner's number.

"Walter Skinner." He said.

"Sir, it's me." I just said.

"Agent Mulder?"

"Yeah... listen, Agent Scully had an accident. She must be at the hospital by now. I'm on my way..." I told him, shakily.

"Oh god. What kind of accident?" He asked, swallowing.

"A car accident. A ghost driver crashed right into her with full speed." I said.

"How is she? Is she seriously injured?" He asked.

"I-I don't know. I think so... I hope not." I answered.

"Listen, Agent Mulder. Scully is a fighter! She'll be okay." I heard him say. I nodded.

"Yeah... I'll call you if I get more information." I said and hang up the phone.

I drove into the parking lot and got out of the car. I rushed into the hospital.

"I'm looking for a patient, Dana Scully. Where is she?" I asked the woman at the front desk. For a moment she looked through the papers in front of her, then she turned her head to look at me.

"Dana Scully?" She asked.

"Yes." I said and sighed.

"She's on the way to surgery." She told me.

"On the way? Can I see her?" I asked.

"I'm sorry. I don't think that is possible, sir." She said and shook her head slightly.

"But I need to see her... where... is that the way to surgery?" I asked, pointing at a door. I didn't wait for an answer. I opened the door and let the door shut behind me. The woman at the front desk shouted: "Sir, you can't go in there!" but I didn't hear her or didn't want to hear her so I ignored it.
