A/N WOW! I can't believe we're on chapter nine already! Amazing ne? But
anyways. I'd like to thank all the people who have reviewed, especially
CCabello for reviewing almost every chapter! You guys don't know how much
faster I update when there's the encouragement of reviews!
Partners and Drinks
Olivia and Elliot walked out of the hospital, her sobbing quietly, and him trying to comfort her. "Elliot? Do you want to come to the bar with me?" Olivia asked, after wiping away her tears. To ask him to go drinking with her was a stretch, she didn't drink very often, and when she did, it was usually when she was on a date. He gave her an appraising glance and sighed.
"Well... I can go, but I'm the designated driver tonight." He reached the car and got in the driver's side. No one really paid attention, but they drove about equally.
Meanwhile... at the hospital
Bobby fell asleep holding his partner's hand, the soft beep of the heart machine lulling him into a fitful dream. He stirred lightly, and his dream grew more violent.
A monster was raping his poor Alex! He raced after the man, but walls sprang up after him, making Bobby ram into each one of them. He had called the ambulance then had taken off after the perp. He heard her cries of pain and denial ring out, but when he turned to run back, walls sprang up. He recognized those walls, they were the walls he had built around his own heart. He scrabbled at the walls, but he might as well have been clawing at glass.
Bobby shot up, reaching for his gun. Blinking, he looked around him and the white washed walls of the hospital washed over him. Looking down, he saw Alex stir. Hoping he hadn't woken her up, he leaned back in his seat, still not moving his hand away. He though about the dream; so the walls that keep me safe from being hurt are preventing me from being able to save Alex? I guess I need to open up to her more.
Alex struggled to open her eyes. She was in a bed somewhere, and some one was holding her hand. "Who?" she managed to croak. The large hand narrowed it down and as she woke up more fully, she saw that it was Bobby. His bright clear eyes stared down at her, but the streaks on his cheeks showed that he had been crying. Then her eyes took in the walls and the machine sitting next to her. "What happened? Bobby? What happened to me?"
Bobby stared down at her. The words wouldn't for in his mouth. It took six tries but he finally managed to get enough saliva to say three words. "You were raped."
Sorry if you guys consider this a cliffhanger... but it just seems like a good place to stop. Please remember to review!
