isn't this a surprise? (Sam)

Her head has suffered a slight gash and the back of her neck was something that she did not want to look at for a few days but other than that she was fine. Luckily the way that she had landed had not been to bad even if it had cost her a four day hospital stay and a bill that she was not too friendly on paying but did because everyone had worked hard. She still had the bandage wrapped around her head and was about to change it as she stood up and went into the bathroom and looked at the mirror.

"I look like shit," she said and she knew that it could be worse but right now she pretty much felt dead as she watched the bandage fall down and she began to rewrap it. The small scratches on the top of her forehead were something else that only made her angry as she finished wrapping them up and made her way back over to the bed and got in. She hit the nurse button and waited. "I need some medicine," she said as she looked around and then pulled herself under the covers. She was almost comfortable enough to fall asleep when she heard a knock. "Come in," she said as she turned her back towards the door.

She could do this because she was resilient and more than that she simply knew who she was and what that meant and a meeting in a place such as this was better for her. She took a second and then walked in and looked at Gigi. "Wow, I am surely here to kick you when you are down" she said as she smiled and pulled up a seat. It was not as awkward as she had thought that it would be and she was glad for that because if it was how else would she get through it. "You really should watch where you are going." She had promised Vivian that she would also leave her name out of how she found out.

"Been a while and took me a minute to think about how to approach this when I read in the paper that you had gotten hit. Everything is strange right now but for where you are you look comfortable and that is always a good thing isn't it?" She smiled and spoke. "Keeping your back turned is something that I never thought I would see from you but it has been a while so maybe I don't know you as well as I originally thought."

She was trying to figure out how to manage what she wanted to say when she heard the voice of Sam and she had never been the type to hide her feelings through her tone or her voice or even her face if she was thinking about pushing it that much and she was not so sure that she could do it now so she simply sat in silence a minute trying to figure out what was the best move and thing to say. "Considering the amount of time that has passed I am sure that we do not either one know each other and that is actually okay." She did not know if she was upset or if she had learned how to easily lack emotion over that time.

"Thanks for coming to see me you're the second visitor that I have had and knowing that it could be worse this is not me complaining it's just my head hurts." She did not like the thoughts of that and she knew that her brain was in tact but it was all the stuff that had been happening before that she had not told many about. She sat up and looked at her. "We need to talk, I need your help but you need to listen to me and do not start with that I told you so stuff it is the last thing that I need right now."

Even in a bed Gigi seemed like she was still herself. "Well I came to say that I just thought it was nice of you to have me down as a contact source even after all of this time but I was on my way here anyway as I had some business to handle." She had promised not to rat Vivian out and she was going to stick to that. "None the less whatever you need then I guess that we can see what happens. I mean you have always been a woman with many secrets so I do not expect that anything has changed much but that is nothing to well shake a stick at." She finally got comfortable enough so that she could listen.

"Whatever you need to tell me you know I am listening. It will not be the first time that we had secrets just between us right?" As far back as she could remember they had been closer than they needed to be but that was not without cause. A lot of people would say that they were like that because they were women but she thought it had been like that because they were honest. "It did hurt my heart a little bit to hear that you had gotten hit but all that's in the past right?"

She did not know if she hated this or if it was perhaps just what she needed since she found it extremely hard to keep herself focused. "Well that was the past and I was a whole lot more sure about myself than I am now and it is not just because of time that has passed and events that have happened it is more." Like being in this room and feeling like she was being monitored and knowing that her smarts were going.

"So after we split ways I started doing research just trying ways to bide my time and I noted some of it and at first I did not think anything of it because I normally noted things but as time passed it seemed I was doing more of that and then one day I realized that I could not recall something so simple. Over the years I have learned things like baking and one day I was making cookies and I realized that I could not recall what in the end should have been such a simple recipe."

To anyone else it might have been something that seemed like she was over reacting but she knew her brain and she knew that it was not right. "So I came here and lurked around you could say and then was out with Faye's daughter and Mila," she said as she looked at Sam and quickly went on. "Point being getting hit by that car is not the reason for this but that is what the doctor is going to say but losing what makes me has been going on for months and I should have told someone sooner but who would understand right?" She needed out of here. "I'm getting dressed and getting out of here this is the last place that can help me."

She had heard Gigi say a lot but even she had to admit that it was something about the tone that disturbed her a little bit and lead her to believe that this might be actual truth coming out of her mouth and not just her saying strange things because she had been in an accident where her head had been hit especially when she started talking about getting out. It honestly mad Sam laugh though she knew that the situation itself was not anything that she should be laughing at.

"Just how are you going to do that? One move where you try to escape and I am sure that not only will the staff be after you but the cops as well and let's be honest jail time never looked good on anything with the former last name Carter does it?" She could actually understand the urge to want out. "Let me see if I can go find a nurse and maybe we can just do something honestly for once and see when they are talking about discharging you. As long as it is between the next two or three days I would imagine that you could handle that but if you want to escape because the food is not the best this place is surrounded on all sides by restaurants and a call in order is all the rage these days so better food is literally just a call away."

"Not if we cut the machines off and I know what you are going to say that this will never work because you never truly had that much faith in me Sam but if I have to stay here I will start hurting people and let's be honest that is truly something that neither one of us wants and if you were not going to help me then why did you come?" She knew that she had been out of it but she had not been that out of it but she also knew that she was not going to read much into it.

"You have no idea what I have been through lately well no screw lately you have no idea what I have been through period and you think what just because you manage to waltz in here that something is just going to magically happen?" She knew that this was anger and maybe even resentment talking but it was too late to stop it now. "Who told you to come here because I know it's not something that you thought of on your own because let's face it you never were that smart were you?" It was a shame in the end but it was also a fact.

"Well okay is that how you want to do this Gigi?" She had hoped and maybe even thought that maybe Gigi should be able to be better than she was because it had been so long ago who had time to be mad about anything. "As if i have not been through shit too?" She wanted to look at everything and then turn around and slap Gigi but she would never hit her because she could not and that was her own fault and her own weakness. "I just do not want you to go out with that messed up head of yours and who would have thought that you would have still be such a pain in the butt after all this time?"

She was doing her best not to yell but if any of the nurses were going by the annoyance in her voice would be easily heard. "You best believe that I did not waltz. Unlike you I walked in here of my own will trying to give you the benefit of the doubt and still you manage to act as if the world owes you a favor." She took a seat in the chair and let out a calming breath. "I might not be smart but I'm not the one who ran out into traffic so just who is the dumb one of us again?"

She took a second to run her hands through her hair and finally turn herself so at least she could see her legs hanging off of the bed. "Okay maybe me not calling you smart was a bit below the belt but it is anger and they will not give me anymore pain medication." She was not an addict or anything but everything here always seemed to be extremely uncomfortable and made her feel ten times more so.

"I appreciate the fact that you came but I am not going to pretend like we had an easy road or that our talking is magically going to be any better because it has been years Sam and to be completely honest with you I am curious as to who you have been talking to about me. My first guess is Mila as it seems like she goes by now but she does not seem like the type to go out and find you only one of my children would and that would be Vivian." She was smart sometimes too much. "You have been in contact with Vivian for how long?" It was not that she cared it was more so she thought that they already thought that she was stupid that she would not put it together.

She had never went away from who she was too much and it did her good to know that Gigi still had a bit of fight in her even with everything that she had been informed of with what was going on with her power. "It does not matter how long did you never get that?" She had always found or at the very least thought that Gigi had somewhere along the line became obsessed with time and the fine particulars of certain things so much that time in fact passed her by not necessarily fast but as normal as everyone else and for someone so smart she was stupidly blinded by that fact.

"How I got here and how I know what's going on and what has been going on are the last things that should be on the table." She wanted answers. "You know I had to find out he died on my own too, Gigi you should have told me. You kept things from everyone always and now that you need help no one is here to help you but me so put your down your harsh words and irrevocable better than though attitude and just admit to yourself in silence for once that I'm not the bad guy. I'm not the reason you are where you are but I am the reason why you will be discharged from here and can get the true help that you need and I know that you know that."
