Chapter 11

Later that night Liz is at the studio on the phone with Patrick. She listens as Patrick fills her in on everything he needs to about Jason.

"So what you are saying is that he has more head trauma?" She asks.

"Yep, and if it doesn't get fixed soon, it's going to kill him. He has a very slow bleed going on. I am shocked he's not complaining of headaches." Patrick tells her.

"So why are you telling me this?" She asks.

"Because he says he doesn't want the surgery. He says that after everything he's done to you, he deserves to die. Now in his file it lists you as his medical P.O.A. You can convince him to get the surgery. He knows I was going to tell you what his results said. I didn't tell him that I was going to try and convince you to get him to have the surgery." Patrick tells her.

"But if he knows what's going on and says no, his mind is made up. It won't do me any good talking to him." She tells Patrick.

"Listen, you know all brain surgeries are risky, but he needs this or he will be dead this time next year. I'm hoping you can convince him to let me save his life." Patrick tells her.

"I'll do what I can do, but I can't guarantee it. He doesn't listen to me very often." Liz tells him.

"That's all I can ask, is that you do what you can. Call me when you get him to agree to it. I'll schedule the surgery then." Patrick tells her. Liz sighs and hangs up with Patrick. She picks up a paintbrush and starts to paint. She throws the brush down and picks up her cell. She calls Jason.

"Get to the studio NOW!" She demands. She hangs up and mutters under her breath about stupid men. She then calls Johnny and asks him to come too. It's time to clear the air.
