Someone To Live For
Chapter 5
Zander looked down at Elizabeth rocking up and down. This wasn't how it was supposed to be; she was supposed to be better not worst.
Zander turned to his boss. "Why did you let this happen?"
"I didn't let this happen. I have no control over what happens when they go back to the real world."
"So why did she come here then?" Zander said, sighing.
His boss smiled at him. "She needs you to help her."
"I'm dead remember? Anyways, we'll never friends."
His boss laughed. "You've got a lot to learn. How do I say this in a way for you to understand? You are her guardian angel; she needs someone to watch over her."
"Angel?" Zander laughed. "Are you sure you got the right guy?"
"I do, all I'm asking is you to watch over her and if she needs help to help her."
"How?"
"You will know when," Zander's boss said, as he walked away, leaving Zander to watch Elizabeth and try to understand exactly what he was suppose to do.

"Elizabeth, it's okay." Lucky said, as he watched her rock up and down.
"I know this is hard for you." She just rocked up and down. He grabbed a hold of her and held her in his arms. He knew that she didn't know who he was, but that didn't matter right now. The woman he loves was hurting and he had to help her.
" Shh… it's okay.," he said, as he saw a tear falling down her cheek.
He wiped away the tear. "Everything will be okay, Elizabeth."
He tried to get up, but she wouldn't let go of him. She felt so safe in his arms.
"Let me take you back to your bed," he said, as he grabbed a hold of her and laid her back on the bed, and put the covers over her. She looked up at Lucky, who to her was a complete stranger. She wanted to be mad at him, because he didn't tell her that she had a son, but she couldn't. She felt so safe when she was in his arms. She realized how much he loved her, even if she can't remember that. He sat down on the chair.
"It looks like you are okay, so I'll go," Lucky said, knowing that Elizabeth didn't want him there.
She then looked at him and motioned to him that she wanted to write, so he grabbed the notepad that was still on the floor and handed it to her. She then handed it to Lucky.
Thank you. Please stay
He looked at her. "Are you sure?"
She scribbled again.
I feel safe with you here, don't leave, please.
He looked at her. "What happened, Elizabeth?" he asked, as he looked into her eyes, and could see fear in them. His police instinct told him that it was more than just being scared about her voice and losing her memory, something happened here to make her breakdown.
She shook her head.
"I know that you don't remember me, Elizabeth, but you can trust me. I'm not going to let anything happen to you."
She grabbed his hand. She felt so safe with him, she wanted to trust him, but everything was so confusing right now.
He sat down. "Did something happen, Elizabeth? I'm not just your husband, I'm a cop."
As she was writing in the notepad, she glanced at Lucky; she could see the look on his face that he really wanted to help her. Maybe she should let him.
Can I trust you?
"I know I should have told you that you had a son, Elizabeth. I'm sorry about that, but I promise you that you can trust me."
She looked into his eyes, and could see that he was being honest with her. Lucky watched as she was writing in the notepad, he wished that he could help her, but there was nothing much he could do. She then handed him the notepad.
Someone came in the room when you were gone. He knew my name and was mad that I didn't know who he was. Is someone after me?
Lucky looked at her with this confused look on his face. "Who was it?"
Elizabeth laughed slightly as she wrote.
I can't remember anything, remember.
Lucky laughed slightly. "That's right. Sorry, Elizabeth."
"Do you remember anything about the person?" Lucky asked. He had a good idea who this person was, but he wanted to be sure.
Tattoos all over.
"Manny..." Lucky said, angry. He couldn't believe that Manny would show his face there.
"Did he hurt you?" Lucky asked.
Not too bad. He said that I knew who he was, and to stop playing this game. I said I don't know who you are and to leave me alone. Then he grabbed me, and tried to take me out of the room. When he heard a nurse coming down the hallway, he left me on the floor and run out of there. Is he going to come back?
"You're going to be okay. I promise you that I won't let him anywhere near you."
He then stood up and grabbed the phone. "Mac, it's Lucky. I need you to come to the hospital now. It's about Manny."

Mac walked down the corridor towards Elizabeth Webber's room, by the tone of Lucky's voice, he could that he needed to get there right away.
He knocked on the door. Lucky stood up and walked over to Mac. Lucky didn't want to leave Elizabeth alone, so they talked in her room.
"So what's this about Manny?" Mac questioned.
"He was here; he was in Elizabeth's room."
"Are you sure about that?" Mac asked.
Lucky nodded. "She said that a man came into the room and got mad at her because she didn't know who he was and he tried to drag her out of the room. I want guards on Elizabeth's door. I don't want Manny to be able to get in again. She's going through enough
right now, she doesn't need to be afraid for her life."
"We have everybody looking for him, we'll find him."
"I'm going to help you find him," Lucky replied.
Mac shook his head. "No, you're not. Your wife needs you right now. "
"There's nothing I can do for her, but if I find Manny, at least I will be able to help that way," Lucky responded. But before Mac could say anymore, he heard a loud crash and he saw that Elizabeth was on the floor.
Lucky ran to Elizabeth's side. She looked at him, scared. She then lean into Lucky and put her head on his chest. He stroked her hair, just held her in his arms not wanted to let her go.
"Oh Elizabeth," he said.
Dr. Jones then walked into the room. "Mac just told me that Elizabeth fell down, what happened?" he asked, as he and Lucky helped Elizabeth back into the bed.
Dr. Jones turned to Lucky. "Could you wait outside while I take a look at Elizabeth?"
Lucky nodded, as he walked out of the room. Mac was waiting for Lucky. "Is she okay?"
"I don't know, Mac. I really don't know," Lucky said, as a tear fall down his cheek.
Mac placed a hand on Lucky's shoulder. "I want you to take a few weeks off work, so you can help your wife."
Lucky turned around. "I can't do that, we need the money."
Mac shook his head. "Just think of it as your paid vacation. "
"But I already have been off for the last few weeks."
Mac smiled slightly, as he looked through the window at Elizabeth.
"Your wife is going through a lot right now. She's going to need you, so be with her. I'll see you in two weeks."
Lucky hugged Mac."Thank you."
Mac nodded, as he walked away from Lucky.

Dr. Jones then walked out of the room.
"Is Elizabeth okay?" Lucky asked, anxiously.
"She has some bruises from falling, but nothing major."
"I don't get what happened, why did she fall?"
"It's from the injuries that she got from the crash; her legs aren't working as good, as they were before."
"She's not paralyze?"
Dr. Jones shook his head.
"Nothing like that. Because of the accident and then being in a coma, her legs aren't as strong as they use to be. They'll heal with time and some physical therapy."
"Is there anything I can do to help?" Lucky asked.
"No, just do what you are already doing," Dr. Jones said.
"I have another patient I need to see, I'll come back and see her later." Lucky nodded, as he walked into the room.

Later, Zander was watching over Elizabeth. Lucky was sitting next to her like he has been for the last four hours.
"She doesn't need a guardian angel; she has Lucky. She's going to be fine," Zander told his boss.
His boss laughed. "She might have someone to help her, but that doesn't mean that she is going to want his help. Just do what I said, and keep an eye on her."
"Is there someone else I can watch over?"
"No, she's your assignment; you can't get out of it."
Zander sighed. "Fine, but when I mess this up, remember I told you that I want to get out of this."
"You're not going to mess this up." Zander's boss said, "But there is nothing you can do for her tonight, so go and do something else for awhile. You will know when it is time for you to be there for her."
"What is there going to be a bell that rings, when someone needs an angel?"
Zander laughed, as he looked at his boss.
"I guess that is a no."
Zander still didn't understand exactly why he was Elizabeth's guardian angel, but she was his son's mother and he had to look out for her.
