The Truth Amongst Lies (Part 11)

Izzy lay staring at the roof for 15 minutes, until a nurse came in to take her breakfast tray. The nurse was obviously repulsed at the sight of the content's of Izzy's stomach lying on the floor. Grumbling, the nurse left to get a mop, Izzy realized she had stopped caring about what happened to her.

Cameron slipped into the elevator just as it was closing, locking her and Thirteen inside. The brunette had tears running down her cheeks, but she still had an angry look plastered on her face. Pressing the stop button, Cameron pulled her girlfriend close, hugging her tightly.

"Ssh, I'm sorry, it's OK, she's OK," Cameron whispered, soothingly into Thirteen's ear, as the younger doctor sobbed into her shoulder.

Thirteen's knees collapsed beneath her and soon both women were sitting on the floor in each other's arms.

Rachel hadn't said a word since Izzy had passed out on the floor of her hospital bed. Poking her head out the door, she quickly ran down the corridor trying to find Izzy's room. Reaching the last door, Rachel peered in through the blinds and instantly felt her heart begin to race.

Izzy had heard the door open but just stayed lying down, staring up at the ceiling. Even if it was her sister or Cameron, she wasn't interested in letting them help her.

Rachel didn't say a word as she approached Izzy's bed, worried she would wake her if she was asleep.

Izzy was startled when a head suddenly blocked her view of the ceiling. Izzy was about to get angry but the smile that took over Rachel's whole face seemed to be infectious.

Rachel had recognized the hand restraints immediately, having had them several times herself. She carefully untied them, knowing how uncomfortable it was to not be able to sit up.

Izzy sat herself up and took a longer look at Rachel, only vaguely remembering what had happened the night before.

"Are you OK?" Rachel asked, wondering if Izzy was still being affected by the serious blood loss she had experienced.

"I'm fine, I think, I don't really remember what happened," Izzy told the girl truthfully, knowing she could trust the younger girl not to judge her.

"Oh, it was really weird. You ran into my room and were looking out through the little window. Then you turned around and slid to the floor, that was when I noticed you were bleeding. You came over to my bed and you said not to call the nurse, so we talked for a bit then you passed out. Did you pull out your IV?" Rachel said, gaining confidence. She had pulled out her own IV enough times to know how much blood she lost.

"It got knocked out, when I fell out of bed," Izzy hoping the girl believed her, as stupid as her excuse sounded.

"Oh, OK," Rachel said, convinced enough and ready to move on to the next question she had, "So, who were you running from?"

Izzy didn't not what to say, looking up at Rachel she knew it wasn't worth keeping things a secret from the girl she barely knew. Izzy told Rachel everything that had happened since she arrived at the hospital, from finding out her sister like making out with girls, to kissing her sister's girlfriend.

Rachel sat there while Izzy told her everything, listening intently and not saying a word. When Izzy finished her story, Rachel stood up and brushed a stray piece of hair out of Izzy's eyes. Leaning down she kissed the brunette deeply and passionately, slipping her tongue past Izzy's soft lips.

At first Izzy was taken aback by Rachel's forwardness, but soon she was kissing the young blonde back. Slipping her tongue into the other girl's mouth she pulled the girl on top of her, suddenly needing this more than anything.

Rachel had only planned to kiss her, thinking the girl needed a proper kiss with a girl who wouldn't pull away, but this was much more than she had ever expected.

Izzy was caught up in the passion, she had no idea what to do and was just following her heart as she lifted Rachel's hospital gown and slipped her hand into the blonde's loose baggy underwear.

Giggling, Rachel slipped her own hand into the other girl's underwear and straight inside of her.

Izzy gasped, as she felt two cold fingers slip inside of her, enjoying the feeling of having someone inside of her. Izzy finally found the closeness she had been longing for, she finally felt like she wasn't alone and the comfort had come in the arms of a complete stranger.

Thirteen had cried for what seemed like hours. The whole time Cameron had sat and held her, rubbing her back, whispering into her ear soothingly.

Cameron was reminded strongly of what had happened the night before, when she had done the same thing to the brunette's younger sister.

As Thirteen's sobs slowed and she finally stopped crying, both women leant back against the elevator wall.

"I'm sorry for not telling you but I was bound by patient confidentiality," Cameron explained, still with her arm around Thirteen's shoulders.

"It's OK, I... I just can't..." Thirteen started unsure of how to finish the loaded statement she had started.

"She needs you, as much as she tells everyone she's fine, she's not," Cameron said, not sure if she wanted to hear the end of her girlfriend's sentence.

Standing up Thirteen wiped her eyes and released the stop button. Unsure of what to do next, she was pleased when Cameron stood up and pressed the button that would take them to Izzy.

"I'll help you, I'll help you both," Cameron told her, her voice catching on the lump that had formed in her throat. As much as she wanted to help everyone, it seemed like she was always relied on by everyone close to her, all the pressure, it was like she 14 all over again.
