Chapter 64

"This place came straight out of a story book, like literally" Courtney beams as soon as we entered our home. I smiled hearing that, it really gives me joy knowing our house is a definition of what you call a fucking dream house. It makes me proud in some way, but its all on Elizabeth to be honest. Its her house in the first place, I just moved in.

"I'm gonna go upstairs and put these in your room." Mary Kate says holding up the garment bags holding up the suit and the dress we're wearing at the Emmys the day after tomorrow. I nod in response as I toss my keys into the bowl near the door.

"Want some martinis?" Huge smiles grow on their faces and respond 'yes' in unison making me chuckle. I would've offered some beer but I really need a strong drink right now, to somehow flush all my thoughts away. As soon as I'm in the kitchen, I hear music starts blaring off our speakers. Jake must've turned them on. He's around more often here since we've been working together these past few days and some days, we have virtual meetings with editors. Elizabeth doesn't mind though, well he is her brother.

"You still looks so damn good doing that." I look up hearing Mary Kate's voice seeing as she watches me from the door frame of our kitchen. I let out a soft chuckle as I finish the drinks with a zest of lemon in them.

"Well, this is the only drink I have in my expertise other than a can of beer." I winked at her and she giggles shaking her head. The room goes quiet, I can sense that she wants to talk about something, like maybe what happened in Jarnie's house a while ago. Speaking of Jarnie, I have yet to tell her about the news of my plans on marrying her daughter.

"You feeling okay already?" I look up once again as she pushes herself from the doorframe and lean against the kitchen island across me, settling her arms on it. "You scared us back there."

"Yea, I will be. Maybe just a little shaken up, I guess." I breathe shrugging my shoulders, feeling a bit tensed talking about it. So tensed that I drank my glass of martini straight and so I need to make one again and so I did. Mary Kate was about to protest but hesitated, maybe because she knows I need this right now. She looks at me sadly and sighs.

"I'm sorry" She whispers. "We shouldn't made you come to mom's house. That was kind of a dick move." I snort a laugh hoping to ease the tension up a bit and she chuckles along.

"It really was kind of a dick move. I guess your mom's house hates me for some reason" I finished my glass of martini with a zest of the lemon peel before dropping it in, trying to distract me from these thoughts that were running in my head and before I could even stop myself, I asked.

"What did I do earlier? I don't remember clearly what happened." She sighs and looks away deciding to focus on fiddling with her fingers.

"We were admiring the ring when we heard the bottle of beer crashed to the floor and when our heads turn you were staring at your hand awfully still, like you weren't breathing or something, you froze. Trent called your attention once, twice but you're not moving. I was getting scared, we all are. You were out for about at least five minutes or so. I even asked Trent what happened and he said he just handed you the bottle before he touched your shoulder shaking you up and that's when you came back."

"The bottle, it looks the same one that I was holding" I whispered reliving that moment, what I saw. Blood, broken glass on the sink, Elizabeth. "I didn't hurt her I swear, I was alone when the bottle was smashed on the sink." I say and the next thing I knew the martini glass that I've just filled up is now empty, again.

"Shan, I think you should slow down with the dri—"

"No you have to believe me, I didn't." I shake my head furiously, another set of scenes playing in my head. The scene of a hand wrapped around Elizabeth's neck. Its making my head hurt. "I didn't hurt her. I could never do that. You have to believe me."

"Alright alright, I believe you. Hey—" She pauses and I feel myself getting tensed up. I really don't know what's happening but I was getting mad. I can't take those scenes in my head. On the beach, in New York, when she told me how he strangled her. I saw it, it felt like I was there, just watching. I avert my eyes and make another glass of martini but this time it wasn't as gentle as I would do it. I was jittery because flashes are starting again. Lights dancing around, Martinis at the Bar. I shake my head and blink, trying to focus on the drink I'm making.

"How many did she drink?" I'm being pulled to our seat by Elizabeth. I know I'm drunk as fuck because there's no way I can be this close to her and not be so confident about it if I'm fucking sober right now, not to mention my head is on her shoulder at the moment.

"She had three martinis when you both got here and a couple of shots." Mark says, she looks down on me.

"Hey, you want to go home?" She taps my cheeks with her soft and gentle hands so I sit up while she turns to me.

"Nope, I want to do more shots!"

"Hey Shannon!" I'm back at the house staring at a full glass of martini. I look up to Mary Kate who raises her brows at me. "Are you okay?" I'm not so sure anymore. Pain suddenly strikes me on my head and I'm back again.

"No more shots for you honey" She takes away my drink and I sighed raising my arms to put it around her but flinches when I do so. I stopped. What the fuck was that? Why did she flinched. She turns to Mark and Jovan but I was stuck trying to process what just happened.

"What was that?" I managed to say. " I wasn't gonna do anything" Is Robbie hurting her? Is someone hurting her, what? Did she think I was going to hit her? I don't know what to think my mind is a bit foggy at the moment. But I swear, I wasn't imagining stuff.

"I'm fine, just feeling a bit jumpy. Maybe because of the paparazzis earlier and the alcohol." She smiles. I hesitated, its possible. Those jerks are traumatizing her. My blood boils. "Come on, I'm okay". She smiles but I blink. I wasn't going to hit her.

"Shan!"

"I didn't hit her, I wasn't going to do anything" I blurted. Mary Kate stares at me with a blank expression on her face. I can hear my heart wanting to rip itself off my chest the same time pain strikes the back of my head again and this time it was much worse that I have to sit down for it. I let out a groan as I held on to my head clutching it as I scrunch me eyes tight hoping it would fucking go away

"Hey, what's happening?" I hear Mary Kate's voice trembling in urgency before she shouts for someone's name, I didn't get it who it was because the ringing in my ears is too loud fading it out. I felt slightly cold hands on my cheeks and the smell of vanilla perfume trying to bring me back. "Shan you have some medicines or what—"

"Tylenol" I managed to get out.

"You can't take Tylenol, you just drank two martinis." Fuck! Now what.

"Wha—"

"I need you to get me a heating pad" She says to someone. "Do you have a heating pad?" She asks me and I nod my head regretting it immediately. I let out a breath trying to keep it together but its too painful, like someone's hitting it with a hammer over and aver again.

"Up—upstairs, our room." I hear the rush of footsteps fading out and hands on my back.

"I think we should take you to the hospital bud." I hear Trent says and I shake my head. Mary Kate holds me tighter this time.

"I'm going to call Lizzie—"

"No!" I nearly shout. Silence. "Please don't call her." I let out a breath as I try to settle down. Tears drop on my jeans as I open my eyes. This is all too familiar, this headache, like the ones I've got a few days after the accident.

"But Shan—"

"Here's the heating pad" I hear Jake says followed by the sound of the microwave going on. I wiped my eyes and Mary Kate strokes my back placing kisses on top of my head trying to calm me down as much as possible.

"Don't. I wouldn't want her to worry." I manage to get out.

"That is just ridiculous—"

"No please. If you call her she'd be wondering why in the hell all of you are here with me right now and why I didn't tell her about it—I'm going to be just fine."

"Here" Mary Kate takes my hands off on the back of my head and replace it with the heating pad. I sighed heavily as the pain slowly goes away. I suddenly felt embarrassed causing a scene again, but its really not my fault. I've had way too many trips back to memory lane for about two weeks now and my brain maybe kinda got exhausted in some way.

"Have you had this before?" Trent says after a while of silence. Maybe no one really knows what to say or what to do in these kind of situations. I know I wouldn't.

"Yes, but that was two years ago." I sighed. "After the accident."

"Maybe we should get you checked Shannon, this is pretty serious." Ashley says, a hint of fear in her voice. I noticed Jake and Courtney are awfully quiet right at this moment so I finally raised my heavy head, letting Mary Kate's hands drop to my shoulders and open my eyes slightly. All I see are five pairs of worried eyes staring at me.

"How are you feeling?" Courtney finally asks. I let out a small smile trying my best to make the situation a little less worse than it already is. They all breathe out a breath they've been holding for I don't know how long. How long was it again?

"I think I need another drink." I say letting out a soft chuckle then I felt a stinging pain not on my head but on my arm. I look up and saw Mary Kate's eyes filled with relief at the same time fear.

"Seriously?" She looks at me in disbelief. The pain in my head is slowly fading away, thanks to the heating pad Elizabeth uses for her cramps at times she's on her period. I honestly didn't think this would work. I usually depend of Tylenol and my girlfriend's green juice for my headaches but not this kind.

"I'm fine. Safe to say, the heating pad works." I say.

"Are you sure? we can take you to the hospital—"Trent says

"I'm alright. There's no need for that, seriously guys come on." I chuckled even though nothing's actually funny right now. They exchanged looks and Ashley shakes her head.

"You're still one stubborn human being aren't you, you fucker. You scared the shit out of us, now fucking choose. Its either we get out of here and let us take you to a fucking hospital or I'm going to call Lizzie and tell her whatever the fuck just happened earlier." She breathes out in frustration. This is the first time I've seen Ashley so mad and it made me realize how serious they're taking this. I must've scared them this time.

"Dude come on. This isn't funny." Jake says giving me a knowing look. I glanced at Trent and he's also giving me a look, a complete worried one. Its five against one and I can't let this go on any longer. They're right this is serious.

"Fine" I say sitting up.

"Fine what?" Mary Kate questions. I sighed and finally stand up to my feet still holding the heating pad at the back of my head.

"What she just said" I sighed and before Mary Kate could even stop me, I've finished my third martini for the day. Now its time for a trip to the hospital and some explanation I need to fucking formulate in my head on the way as to why all of her siblings are with me and as well as my flashbacks. Could this day get any better?——————"I'm fine, it's just a headache." I sighed as the doctors in the emergency room starts checking up on me. I just saw a paparazzi outside on the way here, who I swore snapped a photo of us, and now I'm more worried of what story will be going around the city later on.

"Can you not be a fucking baby right now and just let them do their work." I rolled my eyes at Ashley, she's been giving me the attitude since we got out of the house but I'd like to think that's tough love. I glanced at the doctor that's checking up on me. She's quite young maybe in her 20's as well with red hair and blue eyes, reminds me of Sarah, though she has green ones, a real ginger I must say. By the way, how is she? I think I might take Rose out for ice cream as soon as they got back from New York and before we go to Texas for production, I'm really going to miss our pumpkin. I caught a glimpse of her name on her white blazer ,Charlie Dawson, it says.

"Have you had any history of brain trauma, I mean have you hit your head or something?" She asks that made me look up to her and glanced at Trent, who in all of them had witnessed and has more knowledge of everything that has happened to me, apart from my girlfriend of course. He gives me a knowing look and a nod and I guess that's my cue

"Uh yea, I had a major car accident two years ago." I say my voice trailing off by the end of my sentence. Its a bit odd saying that and relieving at the same time. Its not a thing I was suppose to say to any stranger but I guess, according to my dramatic soon to be sister-in-law, this is a matter of life and death situation. I look up to the Dr. Charlie Dawson, and saw a slight shock on her face. Well, truth's out so, now what?

"Uh- I'm sorry, I thought you just bumped your head into something that caused that tiny scar on your forehead. I really wasn't expecting that, but clearly it might have something to do with your headaches." Her cheeks flushed a tint of light pink as she writes down on her clip board at the same time the knot in my stomach tightens. "Can you possibly recall what happened?"

Bright lights, voices from afar, blood and broken glass everywhere.

"No, I don't remember anything." I lied. I might have a clue, but I don't even know if that's what really happened that time. It was a fucking dream after that exhausting day at Disneyland with Elizabeth and Rose. "I don't remember anything at all when I woke up." I feel her getting tensed with all the truth I've been spilling out but she keeps on writing it down on her clip board.

"Uh, Do you remember the hospital you were admitted though? or maybe your doctor so we can communicate to her as well." 

"Dr. Lisa Hampton, she works in UT Southwestern in Dallas. She's my neurologist." She nods and writes it down.

"Alright, got that one. We can't give you some painkillers for your head at the moment since there's still alcoholin your system—" I gave Mary Kate a look upon hearing that and she just rolls her eyes and gives out a smirk. "—we will just continue with the heating pad instead as a substitute. We should be scheduling you for a MRI soon but for the meantime I suggest you take a rest for a while." She says looking at me before glancing at my company. It must be awfully weird and awkward to stand here with the famous Olsen siblings watching your every move. I'd be dead if I was her. "Please excuse me, while I work on your record." She continues, giving us a nod, and in return, a unison of 'Thank you' coming from my company was heard making her smile before excusing herself from us.

"I'm afraid to say this Shan but Lizzie really needs to know about this." Then I remembered. Fuck, I was suppose to pick her up today.

"What time is it?" I asked in urgency.

"About to go five, why?" Courtney asks. Oh shit, I need my phone. I even forgot to send her a text message, I'll be toast then. I reached down on my pocket to get my phone but its not there. I start to panic.

"Shan- what the fuck? Can you keep still." Mary Kate scolds.

"My phone, I need my phone."

"We don't have your phone, you must've left it in the house. Jake you call Lizzie." Trent says and Jake shakes his head vigorously raising his arms in defense.

"Nope, not gonna do that, why don't you call her." Trent rolls his eyes but hesitates. Well, my girlfriend is really scary when she gets mad or something, so I really don't blame them and its quite entertaining that these men are actually afraid of her.

"I'll do it" Ashley groans and rolls her eyes again and dials on her phone. She's the closest to Elizabeth more than the others, I don't know why but they are.

"Are you even allowed to use phones in here—"

"Shhh! Here it goes— Yea, Lizzie." She glances at me and I'm not sure if I'm breathing still but my heart is beating too loud as I pay close attention to Ashley at the moment. "Yea, Shannon's with us...I told you we have your outfits for the Emmy's so we called her and she told me you have work and she doesn't so we decided to go over to your house and— Yea all of us me, MK, Trent, Jake and Court...They came over before we leave the house...Uh, the thing is we're in a hospital right now—She had a terrible headache... Liz—and she's on her way." She sighs looking at her phone and at me. I really don't know if I should be worried about this right now but safe to say that she won't be getting suspicious on why we're all together right now.

"And we're all dead." Jake mutters and Court nudges him to the side. I sighed and caught a glimpse of Mary Kate just looking at me, and I know that look of hers. There is something on her mind. Maybe its about what happened earlier my flashbacks. Thinking about it the last one at some party.

'No more shots for you honey'

'What was that? I wasn't going to do anything'

I can still see it in my mind, the way she flinched. Was that real? Did that happen, or am I making things up again. Why am I having these kind of flashbacks, God I'm so confused. There's only one person who can validate that and I'm sure she'd be here any moment now. I just hope this day won't get much worse than it already is because this is fucking draining me out.
