The only time that Gillian could enjoy was the time in the hospital, next to Emily who was bound to wake up soon.
Sam stood in the hospital room, watching over her. In any other case she would have thought that he was protecting her. But not anymore. He was scaring her more and more each day because she knew exactly what was coming. She was even more scared today because it would happen tonight. He was going to hurt her if she didn't do everything he ordered her to do. Although she was a strong woman, she couldn't live with taking the kind of beating that he was giving her.
The only thing that could save her from tonight was Emily waking up. She could only pray that she would.

Cal sat in his room, replaying Gillian's words and expressions over in his head. He was trying to find out what exactly it was that was bugging her. What the problem was. What was wrong?
Nick had come a couple times to let him know that he could get food, but Cal refused to move until he knew what the deal was.
"You can't starve yourself."
"Are you able to do background checks?" Cal asked after a day of silence.
Nick raised an eyebrow and stared at him, "On who?"
"Sam Johnson." Cal whispered.
"Why?"
"Because I think Gillian is in danger by being with him."
Nick took a deep breath, "I will try, if you will eat."
Cal nodded and walked out of the room.
.:.
Emily saved Gillian. A couple hours after they arrived at the hospital, she woke up.
Gillian had to assure her that she wasn't there to hurt her. She couldn't say the same about Sam.
"Emily." She finally whispered.
"What?" At least she knew her name.
"I want to run a few tests... I want to know who you remember."
"Who are you?" Emily asked.
"I'm Dr. Gillian Foster." She whispered.
"Another doctor?"
"No, I'm a psychologist." Gillian said with a smie.
"I don't think I have any pychological problems." Emily whispered.
"It's just to see who you remember."
"I don't want to." Emily said, pulling her knees to her chest and resting her chin on his knees.
"I need you too. It's just to find out if there is somebody that you remember, so you can talk to them."
Gillian dug through her purse and pulled out a pile of pictures. She held up one of Loker and said, "Do you know him?"
Emily stared at the picture, but didn't say anything.
"No?" Gillian asked, setting the picture down. Ria was next.
Once again she didn't say anything, but Gillian knew that she didn't know her, "How about this?" She held up a picture of Liam.
Emily stared at it sadly and shook her head.
Gillian sighed and held up a picture of her friend Hayley, "Her?"
"No." Emily whispered, hiding her face in her legs, "I don't know anybody." She said.
Gillian could hear the despair in her voice. She was scared and felt stupid.
"There's more." Gillian whispered.
Emily stared at Gillian and said, "I'm done."
"Nope." Gillian held up a picture of Ben.
Emily stared at it and then looked at the ground.
Gillian sighed and put the picture down.
She held up a picture of Zoe and said, "How about her?"
Emily stared at her and took a deep breath.
"Are you sure you don't know her?" Gillian asked.
Emily didn't say anything.
"She's your mom." She whispered, setting that picture down. "Last one for now." She said, holding up another picture.
Emily stared at the picture and there was a small flash of hope. She smiled, but it was barely visible.
Gillian turned the picture around and smiled, "Do you know who he is?"
"Dad." Emily whispered.
"Yes." Gillian said, her smile growing. "Yes!"
Emily smiled and took the picture, staring at her father.
Sam stood in the corner, watching them happily talk about him.
"Who were all the other people?" Emily asked, her trust for Gillian more then ever because Gillian showed her a picture of her and Cal together.
"Um, this is Eli Loker. He works for your dad. This is Ria Torres and she works for him too. This is Liam, your boyfriend. This is Hayley, your friend. This is Ben Reynolds, an FBI agent who works for you dad too."
Emily bit her lip and nodded, "Oh. Where's dad?"
"You don't remember?"
"No." Emily whispered.
"He's in jail."
"What?" Emily asked, her eyes getting wide.
"Where do I start?" Gillian asked.
"Maybe when that bastard made you have sex with Matt to save his life?" Sam suggested.
"He didn't make me do that." Gillian said, standing up and walking over to him, "I did it out of my own free will. I wanted to. I was saving his life. He didn't want me to do it! I chose to." She said, becoming mad with Sam.
He grabbed both of her arms and stared at her, "Don't yell at me." He hissed.
She could feel the pressure of his fingers digging into her arms.
The pained look on her face didn't affect him. He finally let her go and pushed her back.
Emily sat on the bed and stared at them, "Gillian.'
"Yes?' Gillian asked, clearing her throat and turning to Emily.
"Can I talk to you?"
"Sure."
"Alone?" Emily looked at Sam.
Sam frowned and gave Gillian a warning glare and then walked out.
"Who is he?" Emily asked once the door closed.
"My boyfriend." Gillian whispered, sitting down, refusing to make eye contact with Emily.
"What?" Emily asked with a angry face.
"I don't have a choice." She whispered.
"What?"
"He will hurt me if I leave him."
"He is hurting you right now." Emily pointed to a bruise on her arm.
"You don't know that he did that."
"You do." Emily whispered.
Gillian stared at her and said, "You are just like Cal."
"He's my dad."
"Yeah, I know." Gillian said with a smile.
"Why is he in jail?"
"He was poisoned. He couldn't get the money to get the antidote, so I... I talked the guy into giving the antidote over and it worked, but then the guy, Matt, found me and hurt me and your dad got mad and tried to kill him. But it didn't work so he was sent for attempted muder." She whispered.
Emily stared at her and said, "Why am I in the hospital?"
"I had a miscarriage." Gillian said.
"You were pregnant?"
"Yeah, but since I had a miscarriage the people at jail were letting Cal talk to me more often then he should have been allowed to. Some people were getting mad and told him that Cal was in trouble and the next visitor he had was going to get hurt. You were the next visitor. These guys, JJ, Matt, and Max all body slammed you right into the wall and got you sent here."
Emily nodded and said, "Can I talk to him?"
"You can't leave the hospital but we can make a video. I'm sure that would make him very happy because he's been terrified for your sake for the past week or so." She said with a smile.
.:.
"She made a video and also wanted to give you this note," Gillian said, handing the camera and letter to Cal.
"Have you read it?"
"Of course not."
"Who did she remember?"
"You and only you." Gillian said with a smile.
He smiled back and glanced over to Sam who was watching carefully, "Why is he here?"
"Cal." She warned.
"I don't want him here."
She sighed and shrugged, "Too bad."
Cal slipped the note into his pocket and turned on the camera.
"Hey dad." Emily said with a smile.
"Look at her." Cal whispered, staring at all of the wires and things that were conneceted to her.
"I'm doing good. I only remember you. And I have a killer headache. I can't wait until I'm out of here and can visit you." She said happily.
The video wasn't long, but it was nice and it warmed his heart to see her okay.

Dad
I was talking to Gillian in the hospital and Sam was there and he hurt her. He grabbed her arms and pushed her around and she has bruises on her arms. I'm worried about her, but there's nothing I can do about it. I want you to do something because I'm worried about her. I don't even know her. But I know that you know her and I know that you will help. I love you and I will be there soon to see you. Please help. :)
Emily
Cal cleared his throat and folded the note back up, slipping it into his pocket.
A/N: BAAMMM... I can't wait to write the next chapter.
