Whoopee another update...

A phone ringing at three in the morning is never good especially when you go to bed with a gut feeling that something is wrong. I already knew it could be one person.

"Hi," but all I could hear was labored breathing, "Fitz is that you? Baby I need you to say something, your scaring me."

Every thought was running thru my mind. I was worried when he didn't come home but I thought nothing of it because he always made his way home. Always.

"Baby your scaring me where are you?"

All I still heard was his labored breathing. Thinking quickly I dialed Huck.

In a sleep filled voice, "hello," but all he heard were cries. "Liv what's wrong?"

"It's Fitz. I have him on three way with us I don't know where he is or what's wrong. I have to find him. Please help me."

"Alright try to breathe let me trace his phone."

In return all she could do was sniffle, "Fitz I'm coming okay. I will find you. I love you I am in love with you. I need you to listen to me breathe, breathe with me, breathe for me."

A choking breath sound came thru the phone but slowed to match her breathing, "thats it breathe with me breathe."

"I...lovee...you…Livvie," he gets out.

"I know Fitz, I know," it gets quiet, "Fitz. Fitz! Huck whats taking so long?"

The line goes silent.

Please don't leave me I think running out the door after grabbing his favorite hoodie that was now mine. Running as fast as I could for his car, my mind started to wander thinking about a couple of weeks ago when he gave me a set of keys to his car, and his father's house. The gesture wasn't unknown. Before getting the car I look at the house and see a shadow standing in the window drinking and that is when I knew whatever had happened to Fitz wasn't random. Popping open the trunk grabbing the tire iron I run and bang on the door.

"What the hell, who fuck do you think you are?"

Not even bothering to answer his questions I swing at his knees.

"Ahhh fuck."

"You think you can just leave him for dead you asshole," about to swing again Gerry kicks my feet from under me sending me falling hitting my head cutting it open. Having so much adrenaline pumping was able to scoot away from him in time before he tried to get at me. Swinging again making contact with his cheek hearing a crunching sound, I feel relieve rush thru me.

"Come on get up be a man isn't that always what you yell at him," starting to kick at him, "well guess what you're getting your ass beat like a man by a girl."

Bending down over him looking him dead in the eye, "after tonight you will no longer see your son or have contact with him do you understand me. Papers will be coming for you to sign everything away to him and having no argument," for good measure and for pleasure I hit him a couple of times in the stomach hoping to break a few ribs.

Standing up with a rapid breathing I run to the car and as it dawns on me that I don't know where Fitz is or why Huck hasn't called. The universe had to be on our side because the next moment my phone was ringing.

"Meet me at the hospital."

"You found him where was he? Is he okay?"

"Liv listen to me get to the hospital now."

Not saying goodbye or even hanging I speed all the way to the hospital praying to anyone and everything in the universe that he was okay. I was out the car before I even could really put it in park running towards Huck who was standing in front of the entrance doors.

"Liv you're bleeding."

"Where is he?"

Looking in her eyes he sees the pain urgency to see Fitz, "he's in surgery. Come on lets go inside."

In the waiting room Harrison is there holding someone's hand, Stephan is pacing while Abby was trying to calm him down and lower his voice.

"Don't tell me to calm down! I knew this shit was happening for years and I never said anything. This is on me. My best friend is fighting for his life and I said nothing."

"No its not," Liv speaks up.

Everyone looks up at her.

"Oh my grace Liv what happened to you?"

"It's nothing," waving her hand in the air not caring or even feeling the pain that should have been there.

"Liv your hands are covered in blood and your head is cut," Huck states.

"I'm fine it doesn't hurt," I was feeling numb, "this is not on you this is not on any of you."

"Olivia!?" whipping my head around, "what in the hell?" She knew that the girl looked familiar when she came flying thru the doors with a young man but she couldn't be sure so she went to investigate.

"Hi Mellie."

"Hi Mellie that's all you got? Why are you covered in blood on your hands and head and your shaking?"

"It's fine."

"No its not," huffing, "let's get you cleaned up."

"I can't I need to be here for Fitz.

"Fitz is here?"

"He's in surgery."

"I didn't see his name on the board."

"What?" looking around panicked. Could he be in another hospital, but that couldn't be because everyone else was here and Huck would never steer her wrong.

"I put him under a different name too many questions will be asked," Huck spoke up.

"Thank you Huck."

"Over a cliff Liv."

"If he is still in surgery I'll go see if I can get information. He's going need consent from adult guys. Where is his father? Mother?"

"His mom is dead and as for the person who donated his sperm hopefully he is on his way to hell."

Everyone stared at Liv they never seen her cold towards anybody but before anyone could mean what mean Cyrus ran up.

"What is going on? I got a message to just come to the hospital. What is happening?" looking at the faces of the kids he has grown to love as his own he only saw fear but Liv was the one that made him worry the most she was covered in blood and had a dead look in her eyes. He knew her situation and without Fitz being anywhere around he had a feeling something big was wrong.

Harrison speaks up, "it's Fitz. He was hurt pretty bad and we didn't want any questions asked so Huck and I decided to put his name under yours. When we found him it was…we made a decision and we stand by it."

"Okay okay. How is he? What the hell is going on?"

Stephan spoke up, "We don't know. They haven't been back to tell us anything."

"Liv come on lets go I need to see where the blood is coming from."

Liv checked out once Cyrus walked in, she didn't have to be in charge anymore. What if he dies, I didn't know the concept of time anymore everything was a blur. Nothing seemed to be moving anymore, nothing made sense anymore.

"Family for Fitz Beene?" a tall doctor came in alerting them all and everyone stands up except Liv.

"Umm I can only discuss this in front of his relatives," he says looking around the whole room of kids, one adult male and a nurse who he knew from around the hospital.

"Everyone here is family. And I am Fitzgerald's uncle. So please tell us what is going on?"

"Alright he's out of surgery. It was touch and go for a while. He was beat up pretty bad from the accident. His heart stopped but we were able to get him back and there are a few rib bruises and two of those ribs punctured his lung. We were able to fix it as best as we could . He is stable now but we will have to keep him for while. The nurse will show you to his room so you guys can go see him, but only for a little while."

"Thank you doctor."

"Mr. Beene we need your insurance card and I need to speak with you privately."

They follow the nurse to his room. He was still asleep like the nurse informed before they entered his room. Cyrus rounded up the back up the group and once all inside he closed the door behind them.

"Now that I am done being grilled anyone want to tell me how Fitz ended up in a hospital bed?"

"Someone is going to have to talk," says Mellie when no one spoke up after a few moments.

Mellie was a nurse and mother figure to Liv. If Abby or Liv needed some girl time or advice they went to Mellie. Mellie met Liv at a convention for inspiring doctors and Abby was there tagging along. From the moment they met it was like having two daughters. She knew all about the team she didn't like what they did but she accepted it and if anything were to happen it was in there records that she would be the first to know. She felt like she knew them all but even with this being the first time meeting them all she knew in her heart they were good kids.

"His father beats him. This is the worse I've seen it. He tells everyone its from getting in fights or that hes in an underground fighting club and I went along with the stupid lie. I should have stepped and told you guys. I'm so sorry but I promised him and it was happening less. To get away from it we've been living in house in the woods. I was so stupid to keep this to myself."

"Excuse I know this might be the time but I'm Quinn. That house use to belong to my grandfather and when he died he left it Fitz. But you shouldn't be sorry I also knew about the beatings but I felt like it wasn't my place to say anything plus I wasn't in town a lot. I actually coming in town and talking to him when the line went dead. I was rushing over to his spot when I saw these guys pull him into the car."

"Quinn I know we just met you but he does talk about you and your grandfather to me and it is not your fault," Liv spoke softly.

Stephan was staring down at Fitz when he spoke, "Liv you're not stupid if anyone is it is me. I'm his best friend and I didn't say anything either. I had a feeling there was something up but when I asked him he redirected the conversation and I let him. I saw an exchange with his dad once. It was big but I saw how Fitz coward away from the man."

"Listen to me all of you none of this is your fault do u understand? You all did what you thought was right. Even though it hurt you, you did what you thought was right. You can never know what to do till your put in the situation."

"Liv father is mean too," Abby blurts out.

"Abby!"

"What?! I can't and won't let this happen to anyone else I care about if I can help it."

"Liv what is she talking about it," it was Mellie's turn to ask.

"Nothing."

"Her dad..."

"It's nothing."

"Okay it's been a long night you guys need to get home and we will deal with everything tomorrow.

Mellie walked up to Liv, "I need you to talk to me honey."

"Later I promise he...is he going to be okay?"

"The doctors said he will be. Liv I'm going to go get a kit for you, I'll be right back."

Walking over I take his hands in mine. His big hands that usually warm mine and touch me, felt lifeless. The only thing left for me to do was cry. Cry for him, for my friends and for myself.

"Please don't cry."

I snap my head up at the raspy sound.

"Hi."

"Hi."

There you have. Hey I'm not perfect so there will be error. I do not have medical knowledge beyond that of a paramedic and this is not a story where I will not go in to debt with it but I hope there wasn't to many errors that you couldn't understand the chapter. But if anything was unclear let me know but be nice and if your not at least don't do it under the disguise of a guest. Reviews and PMs are always appreciated.
