A Family Affair - Big Brother Edition

Chapter 6 - Aftermath

POV: Elizabeth Olsen

I watched as Sailor put a glass down in front of Jae, a peace offering it seemed. She waved to Jae as she walked away. Sam and Jae shared a look before they downed the drink. The intercom in the house went off and something didn't seem right.

"SAILOR, YOU NEED TO GO INTO THE DIARY ROOM!" It was not the normal robotic voice that summoned the house guests into the diary room. This was a female voice, one of the producers. Something was very wrong, I could feel it. "SAILOR, GO INTO THE DIARY ROOM."

Jae and Sam looked at each other before I could see Sailor peeking around the corner. One of the producers came out of the diary room, which was nearly unheard of. She looked at Jae for a second, as if trying to judge something, before turning to face Sailor completely. "You need to come with me, Sailor."

Sailor didn't speak, merely walking into the diary room with the producer looking at Jae once more, before disappearing into the diary room.

Both Jae and Sam seemed confused. My epox shrugged it off, going into the store room for a few seconds, before coming back out. Sam and they continued to talk for a few moments, but Jae seemed to pale quickly. Something was desperately wrong.

"Sam.... pay attention...something's wrong." I whispered.

"Sam..." Jae said, looking really really sick.

"Jae? Are you ok..."

"I don't... Something isn't right." Jae answered, but they wobbled on their feet, slipping into a chair, only to fall completely to the floor.

"MEDIC!!!" Sam screamed, before the live stream cut off.

"NO!!!!!" I screamed, looking at the TV. The live stream just showed a temporarily out of service screen, which made my heart sink. I sat silently for who knows how long, terrified that I may have just watched what happened to my epox. My phone rang what seemed like a few seconds later.

"Lizzie.... Were you watching?" Alecia, my sister-in-law, asked, her voice rather shaky.

"Yeah..." I answered.

"Have you heard anything?" she asked.

"No. I just... I'm staring at the live stream and there's nothing..."

"Take a breath, Lizzie. I know Jae. They are the strongest person I can think of." Alecia calmed me down, our mutual love of Jae keeping us connected. My phone beeped, it was a local number.

"I gotta go. I'll call you as soon as I hear something." I switched over to the other call and took a breath. "Hello?"

"Mrs. Olsen?" the voice, a woman, asked.

"This is her. Who is this?"

"Ashley Ackert, I'm one of the producers on Big Brother." She said, her voice soft. "Were you watching the live stream this evening?"

"I was, is Jae ok?"

Ashley explained to me what they knew at this point. One of the contestants, who she refused to name but I knew who it was, had put something at this point unknown in Jae's drink. Jae was ok, but still unconscious in the hospital. Sometime in the middle of the conversation, my door opened and closed. I looked up to see Scar coming over to the couch, looking worried.

"As soon as Jae is awake, I will call you back, and let the two of you talk for a few minutes. I must ask that you not share anything that you may have learned about the other contestants with Jae." Ashley was rather stern with this point.

"If it means I get to talk to them, I will agree to anything." I said aloud, looking at Scar. "I'll await the call. It doesn't matter what time it is when you call. I will be awake."
