This one is for you guys. All pointers and tips are welcomed. Again No Beta. If anyone is interested let me know. Hope you Enjoy.
Looking in the mirror I straighten my shirt thinking I look ok when I hear Shay clear her throat leaning against the door frame. I smile at her looking through the mirror. "Where are you off to looking so sharp?" She asked while sipping on her tea. I didn't want to be late and miss my chance at going in so I bought myself sometime to think of a better excuse. "Hmm?" I mumbled earning an eye roll from shay. "Hmm?" She mocked and walked in in the room setting her cup down. "You're going to go see her aren't you?" She asked while fixing my collar then looking up at me. "Yeah, Maybe. It's not a big deal" I say trying to convince myself more than anything. "Severide, what is it about her?" Shay took a step back looking at me with a hard stare. "She doesn't have anyone right now, not even herself. She is alone and has no idea what the hell happened before that crash. I'm just going to try and help her." Why I wanted to help her I don't know. I never got attached to victims. Not like I have with this one. Shay smiled at me nodding once approving of my answer before pulling something out of her pocket.
"You'll want this then." She handed it over to me. I couldn't believe what I was looking at. Finally some answers. "I had the guys who towed the car take a second look. Her last name is pretty burnt but that's her ID and her name at least. Maybe it will help." I didn't know what to say or do I just pulled Shay into a hug and kissed the top of her head. "Thank you Shay. This is amazing. I know you're against me doing this, so it means a lot." I said sincerely grabbing my jacket and keys. Shay laughed and walked out calling over her shoulder. "I'm against a lot of things you do Kelly."
When I got to the hospital I almost backed out. The thought of seeing her made me feel more than one thing at a time. I was anxious because I wanted to see her smile; happy because I wanted to see her alive and well; Sad because I wanted to give her all the answers to her questions. "Severide?" I heard Hailey call my name as I stood in front of the elevators with the Id in my pocket. "Hey Hailey." I turned to her with a smile. She looked at me confused when she realized I let the elevators close and didn't get in.
"Everything ok?" I was nodding before she could even finish asking. "Yeah, yeah everything is great. I was taking your advice coming to see that one girl." I don't know why I was so nervous or why I felt like it was wrong. "Oh that's great, she has had a rough day. Seeing you might cheer her up." Hailey grinned and pushed the up button on the elevators, the doors opened and I walked in worried about what kind of a rough day she could have had.
When the doors open I pulled out the ID and took one last look at it before finding a nurse to show me to her room. She was lying on her side hugging a pillow looking out the room window while her roommate was on the phone loud as can be laughing talking to someone from her family. I didn't know what to say all I could do was stare at her. Finally the words came to me. "Hello. Alana." She slowly turned to look at me tilting her head confused. I pulled out her ID card and held it in my hand but she didn't need it. She smiled at me as If was her oldest friend in the world. "It's you. Severide. H..How did you know my name?" She asked sitting up covering her mouth in shock. "That's my name! Alana. I am Alana! People called me Lana, and some even called me Ana! How do you know my name?"
I walked over kneeling down next to her bed handing her the ID they found. "We had them keep looking for this." I watched as her eyes pooled with tears. Even I have to admit it was an emotional moment She studied it for a while before looking at me shaking her head handing it back. " I don't want it." She mumbled, her hand was trembling. " Why wouldn't you want this. It's part of who you are." I said confused taking it from her, she covered her eyes and turned her head away from me. "I don't know. I don't want to be that person. I have been here for four days and not one person has come to find me."
"Maybe not but that's most likely because they don't know you're here. We have your name now, and a picture we can put it out to the news. We can find your family." I honestly felt bad for her and In my own selfish way I wasn't sure If I wanted her to find her family. Last I heard Dawson had her brother do a missing persons check to see if anyone matched her description and not one single person came even close.
"NO! Please don't. Please just stop I can't deal with this right now. I don't want to." She cried making her monitors go off. A couple nurses ran in pushing me aside asking me what happened but I stood there frozen. For someone who had no Idea who they were she was scared of something.
One of the nurses smiled at me and nodded for me to follow her out. "Try not to push her with the memory stuff. The Drs think a lot of it is suppressed. Before the accident she could have been going through something traumatic. She has been having nightmares. I don't know what about but that girl has been through a lot more than just a bad wreck." She patted my shoulder and walked away, my eyes looked back into the room where she laid calmly asleep. I didn't care about anything except making her feel safe. So while she slept I made a few phone calls. I set it up so she had her own room so she could feel a little more secure and relaxed without more strangers coming and going. I wanted her to know she was safe so I waited in the room with her. I must have fallen asleep because when I woke up the TV was on low. I rubbed my face and looked over at her and smiled.
"I am sorry about before. I don't know why it all freaked me out. Thank you for everything. You really don't have to do any of this. But thank you." I Yawned and rubbed my face again smiling at her. "I don't do anything I don't want to do. But your welcome Alana" She nodded towards my phone on the floor. "It's been ringing for the past two hours. Your wife must be worried. " I picked up my phone and laughed shaking my head. " No Wife, just an annoying overly protective friend" Then it dawned on me why Shay was calling so many times. She must have gotten the results, I jumped out of my chair. "Shit. Look I forgot I needed to be somewhere. I am sorry to run out but I will be back. You can count on that. Until then if you need anything I wrote my number down for you. Call me. Even just to talk. You're not alone." I grabbed my things and rushed out the door hardly letting Lana say goodbye speeding home.
