Shattered ❥ The X-Files

Chapter Three: Hurting

(Scully's Point Of View)

I felt numb in my chest, my heart beating faster than it was supposed to. My vision grew blurry, tears streamed down my face.

I had never felt like this before. It hurt more than giving William away hurt.

"Scully, I'm sure it'll be okay. Mulder just needs rest." Skinner told me, resting his hand on my shoulders.

"Skinner, I- I don't feel to well." I stuttered, and realized that I was shaking. Not just shaking, but I was hyperventilating. Was I having a panic attack, or was something else going on? I wasn't sure, but I was scared.

"Scully, are you alright? Your shaking, and you're very pale." Skinner asked,

"I'm okay, Skinner. I think I just need some rest." I lied.

"Scully, you're not okay. Let me go talk to them, maybe they'll let you see Mulder." Skinner looked me on the eyes, obviously worried. I didn't want him to have to go through all that trouble, but he seemed so determined to do this.

"No, Skinner. It's not worth it. I know you want to do this for me, but I know that they won't let me see him. Don't waste your time when you could be doing other things."

"Other things, Scully? Like what? Just staring at this door, hoping and praying that Mulder will be okay? I'm worried about you, Scully. Very worried. I need to do this for you."

"Okay, okay- you win. Just make sure you come back soon, I don't like being alone here. Especially not when I'm feeling like this." I told him as he started to get up from his seat.

"Trust me, Scully, I'll make sure they let you see him." Skinner says as he walks down the hallway.

(Skinner's Point Of View)

I don't know what I had just gotten myself into, but Scully isn't feeling well and I need to do something to help her, I think as I walked further down the hallway.

Before I could go any further, one of Mulder's doctors stopped me in my tracks.

"Since you're here, sir, I have something to say." The man said to me.

"The patient you admitted to the hospital can be visited, but his condition has frankly gotten worse. He hasn't been able to sleep the past few days, and he isn't talking to anyone. So, with all that in mind, visit as you wish."

"Okay, thanks for letting me know."

Skinner came down the hallway around five minutes later, and sat down next to me.

"Scully, you can now visit Mulder, but he might be a little bit different. I don't know how different, but that's what they told me." Skinner told me, hands on his pockets.
