Couples In Story: Reid/Quinn | Prentiss/James | Morgan/Garcia | Hotch/Annabelle
Chapter Two: Completely Incomplete.
Los Vegas, Nevada.
Everyone's eyes stared at the monitors, each holding a breath in. Slowly Haley's monitors came to steady, safe beeping sound. Her oxygen level and BP came up. The doctor and nurse shared a look before he ordered another round of tests. After finding out her blood sugar was low, they got some sugar into her blood and fast. The doctor ordered her to be checked on every half hour till tomorrow and went to speak with Hotch and Reid.
"She's doing better. If what I think is correct, her blood sugars dropped and her asthma mixed into the whole mess to make it even worse. She'll come around soon and we'll probably be able to withdraw the tube." he said.
While waiting on the info, Hotch and Reid went over her personal belonging. Jeans, T-shirt, jacket, purse, wallet with 38 bucks in cash, her Iphone and bottles of insulin plus two extra needles and her blood kit plus her State ID.
Hotch froze when he read the name. "Reid, her name." he spoke, a chill in the older Agent's voice.
Reid lifted his head from her box of stuff "What?" he asked.
"Haley Caitlyn Reid." he spoke.
Hotch froze "Y-You knew?" he asked the younger Agent.
Reid shook his head, a blank look across his face. "I didn't know but I had a feeling I had a half sibling out there,. I was almost 14 when she was born. It's not like I thought my father would just still around and do nothing after he left." Reid spoke, his words coming out smooth and soft, almost like it felt good to admit the truth for once.
Reid went to check in with the hotel and Hotch spoke to Prentiss and Garcia. Of course she already knew Haley was Reid's half sister. She'd know for hours but Hotch kept cutting her off back at the BAU offices and she couldn't get a moment to tell anyone that Haley's DNA showed up in the computer as being related to Reid.
A nurse poked her head in the room "Haley's awake now. She's asking to speak to you again." the red haired nurse said, a cheesy smile across her lips.
Reid and Hotch shared a look before walking to Haley's room. The teenager was sitting up in bed, her brown hair in messy waves across her shoulders, her dark brown eyes dark with sleep and secrets.
"They won't let me use my cell. I need to make a call." she said, her voice coming out rushed as if her mind was thinking as a million miles a minute.
"I need to call someone!" she half screamed. She clasp her hands over her hand and racked her fingers through her messy curls.
Reid paused "H-Haley, don't take this the wrong way but are you on any type of drugs?" he asked, doing his best to keep his face normal and blank. He knew she was his half sister but he couldn't worry about that right now, someone wanted her dead and had her friend, they needed to work the case first, personal issues and feelings came later, much, much later.
Haley's head snapped up "What? I don't do drugs. I'd never do anything so…so stupid! Besides it would mess with my me-" she cut herself off, eyes wide.
"Your what, Haley?" Hotch asked, his face showing a hint of emotion, rare for Hotch.
Haley looked out the window, rain hitting the glass in soft, plump drops. It streaked down the windows, covering it like fresh tear drops on a face. Embarresment shimmered in her eyes. She looked back at them.
"I'm on medicines. Lithium, Prozac and Aripiprozole." she spoke, voice shaking.
Reid's eyes got blurred with pain.
"You-Your Bipolar?" he asked.
Haley nodded her head and rubbed the tears away.
"I was admitted to the hospital last winter for it." she said softly.
"Why? What happened?" Reid and Hotch asked at the same time.
Haley's eyes hazed over as she flicked back in her memory bank inside her mind to remember her past. Her damaged, fucked up past.
Vegas County Hospital.
ER.
December 18th, 2009.
A 14 year old Haley looked at the wall in the ER as a doctor patched her up. Dried blood had formed a slight crust around her cuts. Her brown hair hung limp as the doctor moved fast. He stitched the wound on her wrist up. His eyes lifted to her mother, who stood a few feet away, talking on her phone to a work partner.
His blue eyes flicked back to Haley, who seemed lost in thought. "Haley? Haley?" he asked.
She lifted her head "Hmm? Oh! Yes, Dr. Rawlins?" he asked.
He smiled a bit "You say this happened while opening a package for Christmas?" he asked, worry tucked under his voice.
Haley nodded "Yes. It was a gift I ordered for my friend Melanie Coopers. I was trying to opening it and talk on the phone when the knife slipped."
The doctor nodded, his eyes showing her didn't believe her.
"Are you sure about that, Haley?" he asked.
Her brown eyes turned black with anger "Why does everyone kept asking me that? I didn't try to fucking kill myself." she said, pulling her now bandaged arm back from his cool, gloved hands.
She started to get up when she started to cry. "Why can't you just leave me alone!" she half sobbed out.
"I just want to be left alone!" she screamed. A nurse came over to help.
"Someone page Dr. Kayla Summers." he said, pulling his gloves off with a loud, rubber sounding snap.
"Dr…Summers?" she asked, eyeing Haley for a moment.
"I just wanted it to slow down!" she whispered, her eyes looking at the floor as she sat back in bed, pulling her knees to her chest.
Her brown eyes looked down, locking on a broke blue and white ER floor tile. "Why can't everyone just leave me alone?" she whispered to herself.
End Flashback.
Present Day.
Reid stepped closer "Haley, what happened? Why'd you end up in the hospital?" he asked.
Hotch stood by, ready to get a nurse if Haley needed it.
She looked up, her brown eyes looking lost and damaged. Her pupils large from anger. "I tried to kill myself." she whispered.
AN: I've made a deal with myself. I HAVE to finish this and my other story, Ghosts from the past, before years end. Done. Deal made! I shook my own hand and everything. ;)
