Only you

Chaos

Lizzie POV

„Robbie? Babe? I'm home!" I yelled out as I placed my keys aside on the small table in the hallway.

„Babe?" I yelled out while getting into the living room still not seeing him.

„Robbie?" I yelled out again and now I see him outside in my garden sitting there by himself.

„Liz, babe hey!! How was work?" he asked as he looked me up and down.

„Stressing to be honest."

„Ugh isn't it always stressing?" he asked not surprised about my answer.

„No especially today I wanted to talk with you about-." I began but he cut me off instantly.

„My mom told me we should plan our wedding big. Wouldn't it be great to celebrate as big as we can?" he asked while changing the topic. I didn't mind to sit down next to him so I was still standing in the doorway to my garden.

„You know that I don't like being the center of attention, and I don't feel comfortable around so many people. I thought we both decided to celebrate in a small circle?" I asked disappointed.

„I know come on. You'll just, drink a bit more to loosen up and your head will be freed from all this „anxiety" stuff. It will be great to do it big. I mean you don't marry every day... and especially not Someone as handsome as me." he replied cocky and I rolled my eyes at his reply and good for me he couldn't see it because of my sunglasses.

„Oh and can you pass me the gin?" I reached out to the table and gave him the bottle but his attention shifted fast. Did he see any blood on me from Nora?

„Elizabeth! Where is the engagement ring?"
he asked confused. Fuck i must've lost it in scars office when I took it off. It was completely smeared in blood and I couldn't clean my finger at that spot without taking it off.

„Look I can explain... today was this basketball game and..."

„Don't bullshit me around Lizzie. Where is the god damn connection between an basketball game and your engagement ring? Right there isn't any. I gotta ask this... are you cheating on me?"
He asked interrupted me while getting up angrily.

„What? No!! I never did." what a lie. But I can't tell him that. I can't even talk about it openly to scar and she's my best friend.

„And how am I supposed to believe that?
This is clearly a sign of you cheating and fucking around with others. For how long has this been going on??"

„Would you please let me talk and explain everything to you? Damn it let me finish what I have to say and then you can judge me by that."
I replied loudly and he was shut quietly.

„I went to the girls basketball game today and one student got injured badly. She lost consciousness and a lot of blood from her head. I rushed over to help scar out because she is the coach as you know and I tried to stop the bleeding with my hand before I got a towel.  After that I took it off to clean my hands properly and I from all the rush I forgot it in scars office."

„Wooow. You really are good at making up story's aren't ya. Elizabeth this is ridiculous."

„If you don't believe me then let me show you Nora who is injured in the hospital. You wanna believe me so bad? Let's go there and talk to the doctor who will not lie to us which will prove that I didn't lie to you!" I offered and I wish I never did because this sound so dumb and out of place.

„okay.  You are driving I'm a bit drunk for that."
He replied simply and walked past me bumbling his shoulder into mine to probably provoke me.

...

„Lizzie? What are you doing here? Oh... what is he doing here?" Scar asked as she saw me walk around the corner with Robbie behind me.

„Look this might sound crazy and I apologize in advance but-."

„But we Are you here to prove that Lizzie isn't cheating on me." Robbie cut me off as he stood cross armed slightly in front of me.

„Eh? What? How does that connect with you being here in the hospital? Why do you even think that she is cheating? Out of all I'd say that you are the one cheating."

„Watch what you say next Johansson or It will get nasty for you." he threatened her and she raised a brow unimpressed.

„I'm sorry scar. Can you just tell us if Nora is okay?" I asked trying to defuse the bomb that was almost blown apart.

„Sorry Liz. It's been hours since she's in surgery and I haven't heard anything yet." she replied crushed and my heart aches while hearing this.

„Does that mean we have to wait?" he asked annoyed.

„Yes. This is exactly what it means Sherlock."

„I'll wait outside then. I don't wanna endure another minute with the both of you."
He replied and stormed off finally leaving us.

I turned to scar with glossy eyes and she pulled me aside to sit down together.

„Did he do something I should know about?"
She asked immediately worried because this was the first time she's seen Robbie so extrem.
They used to fight about stuff but she never saw him like this.

„No. he didn't." I replied while sniffing my nose.

„Then what on earth is going on that things are escalating so quickly? If he would have commented anything else I would have hit him with no regrets may I add." I chuckled at her replied and leaned back trying to relax my body more.

„He saw that I wasn't wearing the ring when I came home. He immediately jumped to conclusions and assumed I was cheating.
I told him what happened and why I took the ring off, but he didn't believe a single word that came out of my mouth. So I offered as dumb as it sounds to show Nora who was the injured person and that everything I told was true."

„I swear he is a like a fucking Dorn in my eye."

„He's not usually like this I swear."

„You still love him?" she asked me and I nod.

„okay. Look loving Someone isn't enough sometimes and letting-." scar began but got interrupted by the surgeon.

„Is anyone here for Nora Lewis?" we both almost jumped up and walked up to her as she took of her mask.

„In what relationship do you stand towards Nora?"
She asked as she looked at the both of us.

„I'm coach Johansson and this is her professor Olsen. We-."

„Sorry but I need to talk to family." she cut her off and scar started to search for the letter in her bag.

„Here. I have the written consent from her father that I can know everything about her conditions.
Please doc." she gave her the letter and she looked over it while nodding.

„Okay... eh, her nose is broken but that was the smallest problem we had to take care off. Her bleeding was stoppable but the part where she hit her head might have some following damage."

„W-what following damage doc?" I asked scared of what might come next for her.

„Well She flew backwards and landed with her head first. The back part which is the occipital lobes is the section that is responsible for the visual center.  Visual impressions are being there collected and processed."

„Does this mean she can go blind?" scar asked shocked.

„Presumably yes...I am so sorry. But we can only find out after doing some tests when she wakes up."

„When will she wake Up?" I asked trying to process what this surgeon just told us.

„Days or weeks. Brain injuries take longer to recover from. I'm sorry."

„Thank you doc-."

„Doctor Page. If you need anything let us know."
She excused herself and walked off.
