Chapter 10

The ambulance finally arrived at the hospital,and Antonio jumped out of it and helped the paramedics bring Liz out. They rolled her into the ED and past Maggie.

"Hey Antonio! What happened"

"Liz had some sort of psychotic episode"

"Oh my God...I'll get dr.charles."

"Thanks mags"

"Yeah"

Antonio followed the paramedics into the room while Maggie paged dr.charles.Gabby and Matt ran into the room.

"Hey what's going on" Gabby said

"Nothing yet" Antonio said as dr.charles walked in

"Hello Gabby,Antonio. I've been reading Liz's file...can you tell me what happened."

"We came home from the trial and Liz was still very upset so she went to sleep on the couch...after awhile me and Matt woke up and found Liz standing in the corner screaming to stay away from her and not to hurt her." Gabby said

"I know about the explosion but have their been any other incidents that would provoke this behavior"

"Actually liz has been having trouble sleeping...she wakes up in the middle of the night screaming and crying....but it's never been this bad." Antonio said

As they began to talk more about these incidents liz started to stir,and as she woke fully she started kicking and screaming. She tried to move her arms but they were restrained.

"Stay away from me...please dont hurt me!!!!"

"Liz do you know where you are" dr.charles said trying to talk to her

"Help me dont let them do this to me please!!"

"Let's get restraints on her legs please" dr. Charles said to April and dr.reese

They came in and tried to put them on her. She looked at April and said

"Please help....dont hurt me please!"

April looked at her and said

"We are Liz just calm down"

"No...please your lying"

"Let's give her two versed" dr. Charles said

"No!! Please stop dont hurt me!"

"Its ok lizzie calm down" Antonio said as his heart broke

April stuck the needle in her arm and Liz fell asleep.

"Let's move her up to the psyche ward." Dr. Charles said

Liz, Antonio, and Matt walked with April and dr.reese up to the psyche ward and they all sat down.

"I'm gonna call voight...tell him what's going on"

"Ok" Gabby said with tears in her eyes

(On the phone)

"Hey Antonio...its three in the morning..what's up?"

"Listen....Liz had a psychotic episode and we're at the hospital in the psyche ward."

"Oh my God...alright I'll be up there in a few minutes....I'll call the rest of the unit."

"Ok"

"I'm sorry man"

"Yeah...bye"

"Bye"

Antonio walked back into Liz's room and held her hand. Voight called the rest of the unit and everyone headed up to Med. Voight and Alvin got there first.

"Hey how's she doing" Alvin asked.

"We dont know yet...dr.charles is running some test." Antonio said

Just as the rest of the Unit arrived Otis ran in and over to Liz's bed. Otis grabbed her hand and turned to Antonio and said

"Is she ok"

"Dr.charles is still running test.....I need to talk to you outside." Antonio said angrily

They both walked out of the room and put his finger to Otis's chest

"Listen....I dont know what happened when you took her home the other night but her episodes have never been that bad until you took her with you"

"What episodes are you talking about...as far as I'm concerned this is her first!"

"You mean she didnt have a nightmare or anything when you took her home?"

"No...and listen I would never do anything to hurt her!"

"Listen ....I'm sorry man I shouldnt have said that....I'm just worried."

"Its ok we've all been through a lot."

They both walked back into the room as Dr. Charles came back with the results.

"Her neurological scan was clear but her stress and anxiety levels are through the roof....we're gonna give her prozac to calm her down...she should wake in a at least and hour."

"Thanks doc." Antonio said

They all sat in her room and waited for her to wake up. After about an hour liz began to wake up.

"Hey lizzie!" Otis said

"What the....where am I...what happened...why am I restrained?"

"You had a psychotic episode."

"What?!!"

"Listen you've been having them for a couple of weeks....we were gonna tell you but....you had the trial and...."

"Why wouldn't you tell me something like that Antonio!"

"He was just trying to protect you lizzie"

"How many times have I heard you say that....he just wants to protect you....if he really wanted to protect me he would have told me so it wouldnt have gotten this bad."

"Lizzie I'm sor..."

"I just wanna be left alone"

"Ok" Antonio said and motioned everyone out of the room.

They all stood outside the room and said goodbye.

"She didnt mean it toni...shes just confused right now"

"Yeah I guess"

"Hey guys I'll go talk to her real quick" Otis said

Otis walked into her room and walked over to her bed.

"Hey lizzie I know your upset but" Antonio really was just trying to help."

"Not you too Otis...I'm so sick of everyone telling me that they are just trying to look after me....well I am an adult and I can take care of my self ok!...please i just want to be alone."liz said as she put her back to Otis

"Ok..lizzie I'll be by later"

"Take your time"liz said angrily

Otis met with Antonio,Gabby and Matt in the hallway.

"Hey dont take it personally Otis"

"Yeah...I'm gonna stay here...I'll just stay out in the waiting room." Otis said

"Otis you dont have to...shes not in the mood for company." Gabby said

"That's ok...I dont care we dont have shift tommorow."

"Do you guys mind if I head home and get some sleep I've got work tommorow."Antonio said

"Yeah if Otis is ok with staying we're gonna head home." Gabby said

"Yeah you guys go" Otis said

Gabby,Antonio,and Matt headed home and Otis sat down in the waiting room. He waited for about two hours and then walked back into Liz's room and saw that she was asleep. He walked over and sat down next to her bed and laughed. He said to himself

"God I love this girl."

He sat back and fell asleep. It was now morning and Liz woke up. She turned on her back a d saw Otis sitting beside her bed. She was still mad about everyone lying to her but she looked at Otis and said

"God..I love this guy"

She grabbed his hand trying not to wake him up,but Otis was a light sleeper. He opened his eyes and looked at liz with a smile.

"Goodmorning."

"Goodmorning......listen I'm sorry about last night I just was angry that I was left out of the loop...I just dont like to rely on anyone else."

"Its ok i understand,but you can always rely on me"

"Thank...how long have you been here."

"All night"

"Oh my God I'm such a jerk....I shouldnt have talked to you like that last night."

"Lizzie it's ok"

"Hey can I use your phone I need to call Antonio and Gabby."

(On the phone)

"Detective dawson"

"Hello detective"

"Lizzie?"

"Hey...I'm sorry about last night...I was just stressed out....I feel awful."

"That's ok I shouldnt have been so smothering I need to accept that your an adult...I just still see you running around the house in pigtails"

"Haha yeah I guess...well I love you"

"Love you too bye"

After Liz called Gabby she handed Otis back his phone.

"Hey lizzie I've been thinking about this ever since the other night."

"What is it Otis"

"Will you move in with me"

"Yes!"

"Great! We can move you in as soon as you get out of here."

"When do I get out of here?"

"In a couple of hours"

After about two hours dr.charles had Liz's discharged papers ready to go. After she and Otis filled them out and got her prescription they headed to Matt and Gabby's place.Otis knocked on  the door and Matt opened it and invited them in.

"Hey Gabs" liz said

"Hey lizzie"

"So I have big news...i found an appartment!"

"That's great where?"

"Well...I'm gonna move in with Otis!"

"That's great!!I'm so happy for you guys!"

"Yeah..we came to get my stuff"

"Here let us help"

So they all packed up Liz's stuff and helped Otis put it in his car.

"Thanks so much for letting me stay here you guys" liz said giving Matt and Gabby a hug.

"Anytime." They both said

Otis and Liz headed to his appartment and got her settled in. They both sat down on his couch and cuddled up and watched a movie.

(Back at Matt and Gabby's place)

Matt and Gabby where sitting in the couch drinking a beer when they heard a knock on the door. Matt went to answer it and when he opened the door it was Antonio.

"Hey guys"

"Hey toni"

"Where is Liz?"

"Oh...yeah...sit down and dont freak out"

"Gabby what's going on"

"Listen liz found a new apartment.....but its Otis's"

"WHAT!?" Antonio said as he ran out the door and started to drive to Otis's place.

"I better call Liz and warn her"

"No..no.. we should just go over there"

"Why?"

"So I can call and ambulance for Otis when Antonio punches his lights out."

Antonio walked up to the door and pounded on it. Otis got off the couch and looked through the peep hole to see who it was.

"Liz we have a problem...ITS ANTONIO"

"What...ok just open the door and stay calm."

Otis opened the door and as soon as he did Antonio tackled him through the door way.

"Antonio get off!" Liz said as she put him in an arm bar

Liz pulled Antonio off of Otis and slammed him against the wall. Antonio began to laugh histarically

"What are you laughing about!?" Otis said holding the back of his neck.

"I'm sorry I dont know what came over me." Antonio said laughing as Liz let him off the wall.

They all stood there laughing and Liz said

"Well I'm gonna go get some sleep"

"Ok....hey Antonio can we go get a beer or something." Otis said

"Yeah sure"Antonio said suspiciously

"Love you lizzie" Otis said

"Love you to"

Otis and Antonio headed to Molly's and after awhile of them talking and laughing Otis said

"Hey I need to be serious for a second."

"Yeah what's up"

"You know how much I love liz and how much I respect her and I would give my life for her"

"Yeah...i really appreciate that"

"Now I've already asked your father but I respect you a lot and I wanted to ask for Liz's hand in marriage" Otis said excitedly

Antonio sat there for a second in shock

"No"

"What?"

"Are you kidding me...you dont tell me my sister is moving in with you,you take her home with out my permission,and....I'm just messing with you." Antonio said laughing

"That's not funny...are you insane"

"I guess I'll let you but just know that I will kill you"

"Thank you so much!"

Antonio and Otis sat there for most of the night talking about how they were gonna suprise liz and Otis asked him for some help. Whatever they did is sure to be interesting especially those two together,but Otis was gonna make sure that he made Liz the happiest girl in the world.
