Well here we are folks. The end of the story Awake. I tell you I had a lot of fun writing it. You guys came me going with all your comments. It made me wanna write more just to see what you would say next. So he we are Chapter 10. Well I know that the ending will be sad so get ready to get those tissues handy cause this is going to be a gusher. Don't fret though cause it's a sequel on your way and maybe another one after that. So for the next story we meet Sammy. I totally made a mistake in this story and have referred to her as both a boy and a girl. So tell me guys, who do you want Sammy to be Jane's sister or brother? Another thing I would like to share because I'm not sure if you knew it, I write these author notes at two different times. I am currently writing this one at the beginning of the story before I even write the chapter so heck I have no idea what's about to happen. Then when it's all over I write an ending one, I hope you've enjoyed them as much as I have sharing them. Okay I know what you're saying would this chick shut up and give me my chapter already. Fine, here you go.
Chapter 10
In situations like this is when things get messy. People make assumptions and try to be hero and in the end someone ends up getting hurt. That's why Teresa Lisbon was happy when her team and her team alone were tracing the signal of one Andy Mayer's phone. All things pretty much went to shit when word got out that it was actually THE Andy Mayer. Well then the AG and the men in charge decided that it was best that Teresa had as much manpower as she needed. Her team was still in charge, but they had snipers and officers on all sides of the perimeter. She knew that they were there to help but deep down she could feel that they were going to be the death of Andy Mayer.
*Awake*
"Mom." Patrick stated embracing his mother.
"Hello Patrick, now it's time for you to get back to Lisbon. She needs you, and you waiting around here will no one any good."
"What happened to you? It couldn't have been dad, I saved you. I told you to run and you ran away. It couldn't have been him."
"It's not, you saved me and this time, now it's my turn to be the mother that I couldn't be so long ago."
"No, you are fine, we've had our differences but it's fine. You'll make it up to me. You always make it up too me."
"I'm doing the right thing this time sweetheart. This time I get to save you." She smiled approaching him.
"No I won't go back! I won't! I won't!
Patrick Jane felt his body jerk awake. He knew that he was once again in a hospital room. This time things were very different. He couldn't speak because there was a ventilator attached and the tube was still down his throat. He hurt he hurt all over, especially in his head. His mind was cloudy and it was like he couldn't pay attention.
"Hello Mr. Jane. It's very good to see those green eyes of yours; you had us all quite worried. I don't know where Teresa is right now but she was quite worried as well, didn't want to leave your bedside but you know that police work of hers. So I'm going to give you a little something to help you sleep okay. Just relax it's all over." She told him reassuringly.
There were so many things that he wanted to say. He had so many questions. Why did she send him back? He was happy there, and why would Lisbon need him more than anything now. What happened to his mother? He was trying his best to think straight but the meds they had given him was making him woozy, and before he knew it he was sound asleep.
*Awake*
Thomas Snaps was at the end of his rope. He could hear the cops all around the warehouse that he had stopped in. Who knew that old hag had her phone this whole time, he figured that she had dropped it when she dropped her car keys silly on him.
"See you've been a fool. You should just leave. If you let me go, they'll just be happy that I'm alive and they'll let be distracted. You can get out of here."
"Like they would let me go, I killed some kids. I mean it really was an accident. Charlotte was so beautiful and no one else saw it. She just wanted someone to see that she was worthy and I did. I took her picture and she was beautiful. She told me it was the first time she felt special. So I took her to my place and I gave her some wine and then we…"
"I don't want to hear how you forced yourself on some young girl! You are sick, just because someone did that to you doesn't mean it's okay for you to turn around and do it to someone. That should be the reason for you not to want to be a sick fuck, but you used it as an excuse. No one will fucking believe you anyway."
"How did you know that? Who told you that? You don't know me you don't know anything about my life!" he advanced on her.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to, it's just you have been touching me all day; I can't help what I see. It wasn't your fault. What your mother did to you was wrong." She sighed.
"I'm going to wish you never mentioned her. You don't know me! I'm going to make you wish you'd kept your big mouth shut."
He raised his knife to stab her, and she closed her eyes to prepare for the pain.
"Thomas Snaps drop the knife now!" Lisbon shouted coming into view.
"I didn't mean to do it. That girl Charlotte she had an allergic reaction to the medication. Then I saw how peaceful she looked. Her pain was gone and she didn't get funny looks and she died in my arms knowing that I thought that she was the most beautiful girl in the world." He told her while still holding the knife on Andy.
"You okay Andy?" Lisbon asked.
"I'm fine Teresa, there's no need to worry. Everything is going to be alright. How's Patrick?" she asked.
"Let's not worry about him right now; I'm going to get you out of here so that he can see you when he wakes up from surgery."
"You think I'm stupid don't you. This can only end one of two ways. One I let you take me to jail and the law kills me, or we could just end it here." He spat raising his knife.
"You don't want to do that. Andy Mayer is a very important person. If you let her go that shows good faith and then maybe you could get some kind of deal."
"I can't. When I started this I knew how it was going to end, and well I'm not going to make it in prison." He plunged the knife into Andy's stomach and was dead before she hit the ground.
*Awake*
Grace Van Pelt stood frozen in the doorway. Her team was out in the field fighting to save Patrick's mom's life and he had no clue. She told them that she would go and be with him, he shouldn't be alone when he woke up; he deserved to have a familiar face around.
She couldn't tell anyone how this was affecting her. Jane meant so much to her, and it wasn't that she was in love with him per say but she knew that if he wasn't alright it would hurt. It would hurt deep down in her soul. Jane always knew what was going on with her, and she never had to tell him. He knew when she just needed a hug, or if she just wanted reassurance that what she did mattered and she was appreciated. Many nights she would stay late and drink tea and listen to him talk about his daughter. She was so envious about how much he loved his daughter. Her father never even really gave her a second glance after he discovered she didn't have a penis so it was pretty much since the day she was born. He was all about football and she would never play football. She remembered the one time she told him that he had no one to blame that she was a girl but himself because the male picks the sex of the baby and well let's just say that Lionel Van Pelt didn't give a rats ass about that biology lesson. She was the only one of the gang that called him Patty. When no one was around and they were just having tea and being silly he was her Patty. Now this, she walked in and took a seat. She took his hand in hers and was greeted by the warmth of it, and surprisingly he squeezed it. She looked up and couldn't help but smile back at the warm, alert eyes that smiled back at her. She knew that if the ventilator wasn't in that he'd be smiling as well.
"I thought I'd come and keep you some company." She smiled relaxing for the first time since his collapse."
*AWAKE*
Teresa ran to the aide of Andy while pulling out her walkie talkie. She knew that there was an ambulance on the way but she had to feel like she was doing something. So she called for one herself as she began to hold her hand to the wound.
"Andy stay with me please, you're going to be alright?" she told her.
"No I'm not. It's fine though, tell my Patty that I'm sorry." She gulped.
"I said you be fine we'll…." She stopped when she felt the knife go through her shoulder.
"Son of a bitch!" she hissed shooting him one final time.
*Awake*
Grace must've dozed off because she was woken by thrashing from the bed. Patrick was currently trying to remove the vent that was helping him breathe."
"Don't do that Jane! That's there for a reason." She stood over him so he could focus on her face. He was moving his hand as if he wanted to write something down.
"What is it Jane?" she reached for the pad by his bed and put it in his hand to see if she would be able to make out what he was trying to say.
When she looked down at the paper she couldn't believe that. How did he even know that could be a possibility? She was more stunned when she looked up and he was crying.
"No Jane, it's alright. Lisbon is with your mother right now and they are both just fine." She smiled running her fingers through his hair trying to bring him comfort and praying to god she wasn't lying.
*Awake*
She was numb. There was only one word to describe how she was feeling right about now and it was numb. Maybe it had something to do with the pain meds that she was on, yea that knife wound was going to hurt in the morning, but Andy was going to be okay…..eventually. It all came down to decisions and she told herself that she was doing the right thing but now that she stood here in a hospital room waiting for the person she loved more than anything in the world to be okay They gave her a room and took his mother away, she just wants them to come and say that she's released so she can go and be with Jane. She doesn't even know how his surgery went.
"Teresa how are you feeling?" Dr. Argentina asked as she entered her room.
"I'm fine, just a little scratch really? How did Jane's surgery go, and his mother I should let him know how his mother is doing?"
"Teresa I know that you are anxious to be released so that you can go and be with Jane but there are a few things we need to discuss first." He took a seat beside her.
She didn't know what was going to come next but she knew it wasn't going to be good. He just had that look about him. She knew what came next and she feared things would never be the same. The doctor went on and on about how Jane had a seizure on the table and that with this part of the brain there could be all kinds of problems and that I needed to prepare myself for what could be wrong. They currently had him on a vent and if I would come with them they would take him off of it.
"Before we go Andy Mayer, is she going to be alright?" she asked already knowing the answer.
"I'm sorry. She didn't make it.
Okay I know that top note said that this was going to be the last chapter. I was going to end it with Jane waking up and then you would see the outcome and be pissed. I decided nope on that front. Since I killed his mother I've decided to give Jane and Lisbon a semi happy ending towards the sequel so look for that sometime tomorrow. I hope you like this story so far. One more to go..
