Andrew drove rather nervously. He could feel Eliza's rage. He could see it in her eyes. It was a kind of deadly glow that conveyed only murdeous intent.

As he drove on, he turned onto the side of the rode. Eliza looked at him irritatingly.

"Why the hell did you stop?"

"You need to tell me what is going on."

Instead of explaining, she grabbed his arm, pulling him out of the seat. Pushing him into the passenger seat, she climbed behind the steering wheel. Hastily buckling the seat belt, she turned the car on while quickly pressing her foot hard onto the gas pedal.

With the increasing speed, the car made it to the governor's mansion in no time. As quick as lightning, Eliza unbuckled her seat belt, flung open the door, and marched to the door of the governor' mansion. Andrew, despite being oblivious to what was truely happening, got out of the car and followed.

Fitz' secretary recognized Eliza immediately and let her in, despite not seeing the red fire in her eyes.

Andrew finally caught up to her. She looked around, finally deciding that Fitz must be in his office. She slammed the door open, Andrew behind her. To her surprise, his father was there to; must be some stupid bill or something. Fitz stood up when he saw her.

"Eliza is everything..."

He was cut off by a slap to the face, followed by Eliza's cutting words.

"What the fuck did you do to my daughter?"

He was momentarily stunned, half-because of the searing pain in his cheek and half-because of her question. As for the other two, Andrew and Jerry were both seriously confused.

As he recovered, he stuttered out.

"W..what are you talking about?"

"Mellie. I know you had to be the reason she was depressed, that she tried to kill herself!"

Andrew had to hold her back from attacking Fitz, and everyone in the room except Eliza were puzzled.

"I did absolutely nothing to Mellie."

"Oh yes of course you'd say that, whoever spelt it delt it. Why do you think you were the one that told me Mellie was distant. You were trying to seem innocent. But I know you aren't. I spoke to one of my friends, and she told me Mellie is probably a victim of abuse. And I saw it. When she was awake I saw it. She was scared of you Fitzgerald. I know you hurt her, didn't you you sick bastard, because since the day you were born you've been a spoiled little brat who gets whatever he wants. I should have followed my gut, or else I wouldn't have let her marry you and let you destroy her!"

She choked out the last part, loosing all power in her legs. Luckily, Andrew was holding her already to make sure she didn't fall. She began sobbing, tears of regret, tears of hatred, tears of pure terror that her daughter would never wake up.

She had spoken like a mad woman, but the truth was that she needed answers. She needed someone to blame, someone to scream at to help even though the problem couldn't be fixed; she truly passed that on to Mellie.

Fitz stood there in complete shock. Jerry was white with fear. Andrew was sick with confusion.

Fitz couldn't believe it. Mellie was...abused? That couldn't be right. He would never let anyone hurt her. But someone obviously did, or else Mellie wouldn't have been depressed and distant.

Jerry finally believed there was nothing to worry about. Now the truth was coming out. Luckily for him, he could easily lie his way through this. They would never find out, Mellie was asleep and all was well. Than again, blaming Fitz could help cover his tracks.

Andrew wasn't sure what to think. He despised Fitz with a fiery passion, so he wanted desperately to believe Eliza's words. But he knew one thing: Fitz and Mellie loved each other to death, much to his demise. He didn't believe Fitz to be violent. But hey, if the tides would turn against Fitz, Andrew would be perfectly fine.

Fitz finally proceeded to move toward Eliza. He spoke, nearly in tears.

"Eliza, I want you to know something. I am privileged. I will admit that. But I would never, ever in all my lifetime, lay a hand on Mellie. I love her more than anything possible. The only thing I could love more than her is our son, and that is because he reminds me so much of her. She is my night and day, she is my life. I can't breathe without her. These past few months have been hell without her. And yes, we have been having problems. And now, I feel awful for not addressing them. Someone...hurt Mellie and I didn't even notice. I was selfish. But I know when she wakes up, I will find out who that person was. But I swear to the heavens above me, I adore that woman more than the earth and sky, and I would rather sell my soul to a clump of dirt than ever hurt her."

He spoke his words so sincerely and calmly, that everyone felt something. Jerry looked down to the ground; he had never realized how much Mellie truly meant to Fitz. He was nervous now though; after that speech, he could no longer say this was Fitz's fault without being suspicious. Andrew felt a surge of jealously; he truly loved her, which meant Mellie truely loved him. And Eliza, in all her years of knowing him, looked at him deeply. She looked into his watery blue eyes, and saw true honestly in them. She saw a man deeply in love, a man deeply tenacious in awaking his wife.

She whimpered out.

"Then who hurt my daughter? Who made my baby so depressed she thought she didn't need to be on this earth?"

Jerry knew he needed to play someone sympathetic. He placed a hand on her shoulder.

"We just need to hope and pray and when she wakes up we can fix everything."

She smiled up at him.

Andrew glared at Fitz; he had honestly wished Eliza was right. He wanted Fitz to be the bad guy and he could be the hero and than maybe Mellie would love him.

Suddenly, the secretary burst in.

"Mr. Grant, it's the hospital."

Fitz grabbed the phone.

"Hello?"

"Hello Mr. Grant, this is Doctor Pactricia, I'd like to inform you of good news."

"What?" Everyone leaned in to hear what the doctor had to say.

"Your wife's awake."

Oooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhh
