Chapter 49 Hospital

I knew Warlock stayed with me the whole time, Spencer had to take Eliot when I was loaded into the ambulance. Someone took my hearing aids out while they were working on my eyes. Why they were even bothering I had no clue. Sulfuric Nitric Acid had been poured over my eyes, they were gone. I wanted to fight them but Warlock was keeping me calm. He kept stroking my head, running his fingers through my hair. He was usually the only one I had let touch me after something like this. Soon enough the bus pulled to a stop and I was being rolled through the halls of the hospital.

When the movement stopped I knew I was in a private room because only a nurse was in here with me, besides Warlock. I felt my hearing aids being slipped back in as I was transferred to a bed in the hospital. I was in a quiet end of the hospital, that or it was night. "Hey Lil' Red Hot, your team is going to come in and see you in a bit. I'll stay with you till they're gone but when Spencer stays with you I have to go."

"No Warlock, I want, I need you to stay," I said getting upset. "I trust you Warlock."

"Lea, stop it," he said firmly. I was shocked that he was using that tone with me, he had never used that tone with anyone. "I can't make you happy and that's my fault. I'm sorry about that. You need to trust your team. Stop clinging to me. Spencer will take care of you, he needs you too. Just let him in. Remember when you first met me?" I nodded. Some students were bullying him, I had stepped in. "He has a similar past and he needs someone who won't leave him, just like I did. I'll always be here for you and you can still talk to me but you've got to talk to Spencer. You are dating him," Warlock said.

"Warlock, I'm still trying to figure out what to do, I'm still grieving. How do I let go of someone I thought I was going to spend the rest of my life with? How do I grieve when I wasn't able to grieve the way I needed to for years? How do I let all that out?"

"Talk to Spencer, shout at your brother, hell shout at me, sob while Spencer holds you, light a candle on my birthday, celebrate yours in remembrance of my life and continue on with your life. You're almost 25 years old, you have a life to live. Don't spend your days grieving me." Just then I heard the door open and I heard several pairs of feet.

"Lea?" my brother asked.

"Yes Aaron," I said looking in the direction of his voice. "I can't see so say something before anyone grabs me. Let them all in," I said knowing everyone was at the door waiting to see me. I wanted all the questions over with and I didn't want to have to answer the same one more than once. I heard them come in and everyone greeted me. "I'm blind guys, just say something before you hug me, I'm not made of glass."

"Who were you talking too?" Garcia asked. I wasn't aware that she had flown down here. How long had I been missing?

"You wouldn't believe me if I told you and if I told you I would be spending the night in the psych ward. How long was I missing?" I asked.

"Three days," Morgan answered.

"Okay, I know I stink but where are my hugs? I missed you guys," I said. Garcia was the first, followed by Morgan, Spencer, Aaron, JJ, and Rossi. They stayed for almost an hour just talking to me. Garcia and JJ helped me get a shower and get changed into a clean gown. It was nice to be clean. I got back into the bed and the nurse said it was time to order supper and everyone but Spencer left.

"I'm going to stay with you till you can go home, Aaron has Eliot. I'm sorry that I didn't go with you to get dinner. If I had maybe this would have never happened."

"Spencer, it isn't your fault. I've been in cities larger and more dangerous than Vegas. I've been so my places on my own, the first time was when I was 17, after Warlock," I said unable to finish. I could no longer sense him in the room. He had got me out and kept me safe, he had kept me calm enough to let the doctors try to help me.

"But maybe you wouldn't be blind now," Spencer said.

"Don't beat yourself up." I reached out for him and managed to grab his hand.

"You may still have your sight if I had gone with you!"

"Spencer Reid!" I said loudly. He stopped trying to pace. "Wondering about what would have happened won't change a fucking thing. I'm blind now as well as deaf, so what. I'll adapt, I always do. I'm going to need your help to figure this out."

"Okay," he said sitting down on the bed beside me.

"Now, how are you dealing with this?" I asked. I heard him suck in a breath. "It's okay to cry hun, come here," I said pulling him closer. I felt him lie down beside me and put his face in my neck. I could feel his tears hitting my neck; I wrapped my arms around him and just held him.

"I'll just set you dinner over here on the counter," a voice said. I assumed it was the nurse. I had ordered enough for both me and Spencer. I let myself cry to as I held him but I didn't know if I would be able to produce any tears. I didn't know how much of my eyes were damaged or completely gone.

"You were talking to Warwick earlier weren't you?" Spencer asked.

"Yeah, I was."

"If you were blind how did you get a mile away from where you were captured and held without a scratch?" Spencer asked.

"You may not believe me, but I'll tell you if you promise not to think I'm crazy or object to what I'm saying. I know how crazy it sounds."

"Okay, tell me," Spencer said.

"Do you believe in the paranormal? Ghosts and spirits?" I asked.

"There is no such thing, science hasn't proved they exist," Spencer replied.

"Well then you won't believe my story but please don't try to tell me how I'm wrong. Please?" I begged him.

"Of course not, Lea, what are you trying to tell me?"

"Warlock untied me and led me out of there. He rode with me over to the hospital and he left just after everyone else did. He stayed with me when I needed him. All those times my brother thought I was talking to myself and almost split to survive, I was talking to him. I could see and hear him Spencer. Now I can only hear him. Without him, you would have found my body sometime this week."

"Are you saying a ghost got you out of there?"

"I told you wouldn't believe me," I said rolling over and turning away from him.

"So when you were in New York when your co-workers thought you were talking to yourself, you were actually talking to him?" Spencer asked.

"Yeah, I talk to him all the time. Sometimes he's there, sometimes not. He was my human dairy; all my secrets lay with him. I'm the only one that can see and hear him, as I'm the only one he trusted. Though he approves of us being together," I said not sure if I should say it. He probably thought I was crazy anyway. He'd either stay or leave.

"Are you trying to break up with me?" Spencer asked.

"Of course not," I said getting annoyed. "Spencer if that was what I was doing I would tell you flat out. I wouldn't make you guess. I'm not going to leave you till you order me away. Right now we both need someone so let's help each other and figure this out together and go catch this bastard."
