Crash p4

Four months on

Andy stood on the podium receiving her medal from her dad for her heroism on the day of the crash, her father delivered a lovely speech about his daughter and he was sorry that her boss couldn't be there today but if it wasn't for Andy he wouldn't be, but instead he was in rehab following a spinal injury during the accident.

Andy changed since the crash as she walked into work she was met by her boss who is back to full capacity, week by week she grew attracted to her boss, they became friends and he was there for her and he let her vent to him even when she found her friend having it off with her former boyfriend in the supply closet, but what Andy wasn't telling people is about her hidden illness that she hopes people won't figure out.

Her illness started a few weeks after the crash where she suffered a head injury she was checked out but her exam was fine or so she thought, but then after that she started to feel odd, at first she used to black out like a daydream and then not know where she was, then on the odd occasions her hands shook for no reason, and sometimes she loses time in her day and she doesn't know why, to Andy all her symptoms added up to the head injury, but soon her illness will become apparent to the people who really care, but what Andy doesn't know is that her boss and the man who has fallen in love with her has been watching her closely and he figured there is something wrong.

In the reception

Andy stood talking to Dean in reception ever since she found Maya and jack together, she hadn't spoke to her friend only in the professional capacity, so Andy talked to the men more, but as she stood talking her boss calls her name.

"Andy come into my office please" asks Robert?

Andy does what the captain says she follows him into the office and closes the door.

In the office

Andy closes the door, whilst the captain takes a seat behind his desk, Andy sits opposite him like she was in the headmaster's office being told off.

"so, what's the matter sir" asks Andy?

"I brought you in here because I thought since the crash me and you have become friends and we opened up to one another things we never told people before" explains Robert.

"yeah we are friends but I don't know what you want to talk about" asks Andy?

"I know you're not talking to Maya so if you have something you want to talk about then I am willing to listen" says Robert trying to encourage Andy to open up about her symptoms.

"okay so you want to talk what about" asks Andy?

"how about how your feeling since the crash any issues I need to know about" asks Robert?

"what do you mean" asks Andy?

"okay Andy I have been watching you for the last few weeks and no one else has seen the episodes but I have and I have spent more time with you since the crash than other members of the station and I have noticed odd behaviour and symptoms that don't add up, and I think you have an underlying condition that needs sorting before it progresses" explains Robert.

"great you're watching me so what have I got then" asks Andy?

"you keep zoning out, confused, daydreaming and not remembering where you are, headaches and silent seizures" explains Robert as he lists Andy's symptoms.

Andy places her hand to her temple angry that her secret had been figured out.

"so, you know I have an issue" says Andy.

"yeah but why didn't you mention it to anyone" asks Robert?

"I was scared of admitting the truth that I blackout and can't remember where I am, if I get a diagnosis my career is over" explains Andy.

"lieutenant calm down and we will sort it out but you need a full neuro assessment" says Robert trying to calm Andy down before she brings on a fit.

Andy doesn't listen to her boss instead she gets more worked up, until the stress gets to her and her body can't take it, soon she was sat in her chair seizing due to stress, her body couldn't handle the stress and brought on a seizure, Robert sees the fit, he rushes to the chair he pulls Andy out the chair and to the floor and he draws the blinds in the office so that no could see what was going on inside the office, he looks down at the floor and watches her whilst she has the fit, since he knows that you can't help a person have a fit because you could injure the patient or yourself, so all he could do is watch and time the fit, if it lasts more than five minutes then he knew Andy was in trouble and she needed a hospital, but not this time the fit lasted three minutes.

Once Andy had stopped fitting, he turned her on her side and placed her in the recovery position and then he checked her vitals until she regained consciousness, Andy lay on her side for a good five minutes until she started to regain consciousness.

"uhh what happened" asks Andy in a sleepy voice?

"you had a fit in the captains office and you are on the floor of my office and no we are alone no one knows what happened, it's just you and me" says Robert.

"thank you for not telling anyone" says Andy.

"no problem as long as you agree to get checked out, but for now you should sleep, and I know you don't want people seeing you like this so I am willing to let you use my bunk" offers the captain.

"thanks, I know it's a big ask but could you help me to the bed I feel a bit drained and dizzy and I don't think I would be able to walk alone" asks Andy?

"sure, grab on to me and I will carry you" says Robert.

Robert carries Andy bridal style to the bunk room, when inside he places her on the bed and helps her get comfortable, once she was comfortable he was about to leave when she grabs his hand, he holds her hand and caresses it, holding her hand makes him lean forward close to her face and soon the two kiss on the lips, after realizing what they had done they pull apart like their lips where on fire.

"err we shouldn't do this since you're sick" explains Robert.

"yeah and you're my captain" says Andy.

"yeah totally wrong even though I cannot stop thinking about you and how caring you are and a good listener" explains Robert.

"thanks, but I have an agreement" says Andy.

"and what is that then" asks Robert?
"I get treatment and you be there for me and support me, and when we are ready, we try and get on without physical contact or we could just give us a go but not tell anyone" says Andy.

"i like that idea but that is so wrong but I like it and I wish we could just be together now" says Robert giving into his feelings.

"well if you really don't care about rules then why don't you come and join me and help me sleep" says Andy.

Robert says nothing instead he slips his shoes off and climbs into the bed with Andy, he let her rest her head on his chest whilst she slept, he felt like he was with his wife and he didn't complain he liked Andy and helping her sleep made him feel close to her.

Soon the two were sleeping peacefully.
