A/N – Thanks for the reviews and follows! It's hard for me to write a good AJ cause I really hate the character. But, I'm trying to write him flawed but redeemable….even if it kills me lol. The Robin hate….lol. It always surprises me.
Chapter 4 – Missing Pieces
Jason tried not to smile at her agitation but he couldn't help it.
"What are you grinning at?" Liz asked.
"You, they actually looked a little scared of you. I'm impressed."
Liz rolled her eyes. "I really hope that you never dated Carly."
"According to her, we didn't."
"It was probably more like she wanted to but you refused." She said fixing Jason's blankets.
Jason's breathing was suddenly shallow and he started to have a seizure. Liz pressed the call button and tried to hold Jason's head in place. Patrick ran into the room and took over. They waited it out and Jason collapsed back on the bed. The pain in his body was so intense that he started to pass out.
"Stay with me Jason." Patrick said watching the monitors.
Liz grabbed a wash cloth and wet it. She put it over his forehead and wiped him down.
"Jason, you had a seizure. I was expecting this might happen due to your head injury. I'm going to have them bring some machines in and do some tests so I can see what is going on."
"Okay." Jason said softly.
Patrick looked over at Liz. "I need you to stay in here for a while."
Liz nodded. She walked over to Jason and he grabbed her hand. "Hurts." He murmured.
"I know. I'm so sorry. Try to relax okay? It's okay to sleep."
"Don't…..leave." He muttered.
She softly rubbed his hand. "I'll stay. Just sleep."
About ten minutes later, his hand relaxed and she knew he was out. She got up and called Nadine.
"Patrick asked me to stay with Jason for a while. Can you check on Mrs. Huntley for me?"
"Sure thing."
Liz hung up the phone and stared at Jason. She was worried. The seizure was really hard on him and she hoped he didn't have any permanent damage from it.
Patrick came in and out and about an hour later Jason woke up.
"I'm right here." Liz said moving to his side.
Jason grimaced. "Light hurts."
Liz ran and turned off the lights in the room and then walked back over to him. "Better?"
"Yes." Jason said looking at her.
"Do you have a headache?"
"Yes."
Liz called Patrick and explained the symptoms. He wrote a prescription.
"I'm going to go get your medicine okay?"
"Okay." Jason said weakly.
Liz came back and administered it and then went back over to Jason. "You should start feeling that soon."
"I have to go back on rounds. Can I call someone to sit with you?"
Jason didn't even know what to say.
It killed her but she said, "I can call Carly or AJ if you want."
Tracy walked into the room. "I'll sit with him."
"Who are you?" Jason said looking up.
"I'm your Aunt Tracy."
Liz walked over to Jason. "It's okay. You like her."
Jason nodded. "Okay."
Liz left and Tracy sat down. "I heard you had a seizure, you okay?"
Jason sighed. "Feel crappy." He said shutting his eyes.
"You can curse in front of me."
Jason opened his eyes and smiled. "Good to know."
"Don't feel like you have to talk. I brought a magazine. I just thought you should have someone here."
"Thank you."
"Don't mention it."
Tracy made herself comfortable and read a few articles. She answered the phone once and Jason smirked as she berated someone. "Sorry, I can't stand incompetence." She said tossing her phone back in her purse.
Alan walked in about a half hour later. "Tracy, shouldn't you be off running something."
Tracy rolled her eyes. "I don't want to embarrass you in front of your son, so I'll just leave." She got up and walked over to Jason and touched his face. "If you need anything nephew, you have Liz call me." She said warmly.
Jason nodded. "I will."
Tracy gave Alan a look and she left.
"She wasn't bothering you, was she?"
"Not at all." Jason said studying him.
"I've been trying to stay away and give you some space. It's a hard thing to do." Alan said softly.
Jason nodded.
"I've made a lot of mistakes this past year with you. I can't help but feel responsible for you lying here."
"You didn't force me to get on that bike."
"Maybe not, but I sure as hell pushed you. All of us did." Alan said with much regret.
"This is very hard for me." Jason said swallowing hard. "I feel like I can't be who all of you need me to be."
"We have more to lose than you do. You might not like us when you get to know us."
Jason smiled.
Alan stood up. "No matter how this all turns out, I love you. I guess we just need to get to know each other all over again."
Jason nodded.
Alan left the room and Jason was left to swim around in his own thoughts. He felt really lost. Nothing made sense and he was really tired of lying in the hospital bed.
Robin walked inside of the room. "Hey." She said sitting down next to the bed. "You seemed lost in your thoughts."
"All of this is a lot to digest."
"I'm sure it is."
"So, you live in Paris?"
Robin smiled. "Yes. I'm a doctor but I specialize in research."
"And you put your life on hold to come see me?" He asked her curiously.
Robin shrugged. "I guess you could put it like that. I had to see you Jason."
"Why? Haven't we been done for a while?"
"We have but that doesn't mean that I don't love you. I think I always will."
Jason didn't know what to say to that. "Why did we break up?"
"You weren't happy and you started pushing everyone away. We had a horrible argument and said really nasty things to each other. I ran into another man's arms, you ran into a bottle."
"Were we ever good together?"
Robin smiled. "Yes. I thought we would be unstoppable at one point."
"Why do you think I changed?"
"You were under a lot of pressure to be someone you didn't want to be. You lost people you loved and it spiraled from there. You didn't want to let anyone down. And then, that's all you did."
Jason could see the pain in her eyes. "So you left."
Robin nodded. "Yup. I bailed. I couldn't watch you self-destruct so I left the country." Robin said wiping a tear away. "I'm so sorry that I left you."
Jason sighed. "Maybe it was meant to be."
"You really believe that?"
"I guess I don't have any other choice. I can't go back and change anything. For what it's worth, I'm sorry for whatever I said to you when we fought." Jason said softly.
Robin cried a little harder. "Thank you. I'm sorry too."
Patrick walked into the room. "Am I interrupting?"
Robin wiped her face. "No, it's okay. I should probably leave."
Jason watched her hurry out of the room.
"Your swelling is going down. So, I'm hoping you'll start getting your memory back."
Jason frowned. "So soon? I'm quickly learning that ignorance is bliss."
Patrick chuckled.
"When can I start walking around?"
"In a few days. We need to take things slowly."
"Somehow, I don't think I'm good at that."
Patrick smiled. "Take care." He said walking out of the room.
A/N: Ok people give me some feedback. I'm not getting many reviews compared to how many people are actually reading it. So, I'm not sure if that is because you guys aren't feeling it or you just don't like to review. I appreciate those who always take the time though!
