*** Apparently James Reilly is too lazy to name Antonio’s disease, so I’m doing it. It’s called Graves Disease and it an over active or under active thyroid condition, in his case it’s past the usual treatments, and has become terminal.

It was Adam’s song.

Adam’s song by Blink 182.

She was humming a song about teen suicide during her psych evaluation. Jody shook her head; trying to fight off the yell, running it’s way up her throat. For two days all she talked about was how she didn’t deserve to be locked away in a room, and here she was proving the exact opposite to the Hospital psychiatrist.

“ Ms. Bennett?”

Jody lowered her medical journal, and glanced toward her patient, she wasn’t suppose to be in here, and didn’t really know why she was, except that Kay had asked her to be here, when Dr. Jacobs questioned her. She had thought it was because the girl was afraid, she knew now it was because she wanted to put on a show, and she was definitely entertaining. Two hours into it, and she had already developed three personalities, and recovered two memories. The girl was gunning for a mental ward.

“ Ms. Bennett, I asked you to describe your family.”

Kay stopped humming, and looked at the balding man with consideration, she had been playing with him long enough, might as well give him some real answers. “ Well it’s a normal family, or least normal by Harmony standards. ”I have two parents, and I’m a middle child I was the only middle child until it was discovered that my father had a son with Ivy Crane, then after that my mom discovered she had a son, so now I’m the second middle child along with my brother Noah, I have a cousin and an uncle, and I think all my grandparents are dead.”

“ You think?”

“ My ‘mother’ claims to have ‘amnesia’, and she ‘believes’ that her family was killed in a fire, expect for her twin sister who also died in a fire.” She titled her head to the side, as of considering something, before she narrowed her eyes.” That's peculiar.”

“ What’s peculiar?”

“ I just noticed how many people have ‘died’ in a fire, around her, makes me wonder if she isn’t a closet match girl.” Kay gave a sinister type laugh.” Wouldn’t put it past her, the woman’s a closet something.”

“ You seem to have issues with your mother, any reason why?”

“ Have you met my mother?” At he his head shake, she smiled.” Lucky you, the woman is strange, she makes tomato soup cake, and worships my cousin who could only be called normal, by nut job just like her. There this huge conspiracy going on around her, and she decided to focus her attention on me because I’m ‘evil.”

“ Uh huh.” Dr. Jacobs murmured as his wrote furiously on his note pad, before standing and moving toward the door.” Well, I think that’s all for today, it was lovely meeting you Ms. Bennett I hope we meet again.” He didn’t wait for her to return the greeting before he motioned something to Jody and ran form the room.

“ So how did you think it went?”

Jody dropped her journal on the chair, and moved to stand by the window taking into account all she had seen, before nodding. ”Ah… it was interesting…uh… you started with insane, and ended with bitter, and I think…that together it made a package that will surely get a you straight jacket.” “ Was that what you were hoping for, because let me assure you he thinks he you’re crazy. I know cause I think you’re crazy.”

Kay rolled her eyes at the older women, and laughed.” Trust ME, I know this town, and there is no way I’m getting anything but a clean bill of sanity.”

One hour later

Jody looked at the doctor’s referral an almost dropped

Katherine, although suicidal just a few days ago seems to be past her need for death. I recommend bi-weekly counseling sessions, for no less then six months, until another doctor can review the case.

“ How the hell did that happen?” She closed the file, and leaned against the door outside Kay’s room. The spilt personality should have at least gotten her a longer stay in a funny farm. Opening the door, she was assaulted by Kay’s thousand watt ‘I told you so’, smile.” Okay you’re off your evaluation, and free to see people.” “ Lobby’s full, who do you want to see?”

“ Antonio, and then no one.” Kay turned and glanced toward her window with disgust.“ I thought I got rid of those people.”

“ Nope, they’re pretty adamant.” “ Now I’m going to get your victim, promise not to try off yourself, while I’m gone.”

Kay fought back the smile.” You know I’m at the Police Chiefs daughter, and friends with the chief of staff, shouldn’t you be sucking up or at least acting like a regular doctor. “

“ You act like a regular patient and I’ll act like a regular doctor, deal?”

“ I’ll think about it.” Two weeks in a hospital, and nothing to do but play with the staff, was if nothing else going to be entertaining.” Now hurry I'm feeling depressed.”

“ Smart golly .” Jody muttered as she walked toward the waiting room full of Bennett’s, and other varied townsfolk. At her entrance they brought their heads up, and she cringed, they all seemed so hopeful ” Good morning, Kay’s been cleared.” Looking around the room searching for Antonio, and found him in a corner on the other side of everyone else, and meet his eyes.” She’s waiting for you.”

Antonio wordlessly nodded, and walked quickly out of the room, only pausing outside Kay’s door, before he put on a cheerful smile, and enters. “ Hey Kay.” She looked great, or greatly improved from when he last saw her, he remember what Doc had told him. ‘Smile and nod, but seeing her there just breathing so unlike the last time he saw her, hew just couldn’t help himself. He ran over and grabbed in a large bear hug.

Kay saw it coming, but couldn’t really dodge it, and just grit her teeth as he hugged her, before he began pushing him away, slapping him. “ Get off me.” ‘Damn Lopez-Fitzgerald’s so touchy feely’ “ You jerk hello, I’m hurt, and you coming barreling in here mauling me.”

“ Sorry, I’m just so glad to see you alive.”

“ Yeah thanks for nothing, Lopez-Fitzgerald.” Kay picked up her water cup, and chucked at the older man, hitting him right between the eyes.” I was kind of trying for the opposite affect, and now I’m stuck in this hospital with that goofy doctor, that keeps trying to joke out me of my depression, when at this very minute I should in Hades, fighting off a demon, or doing something else productive.”

He rubbed the spot trying to ease the pain before he focused on her angry and delusional outburst. ‘Focus Antonio, Jody said she’s be angry’ “ I did the right thing.”

“ Since when does the guy, marrying his brother’s back form the dead fiancé know the right thing, cause you sure as HELL can’t see things right in front of you.”

‘Breath Antonio, breath.’ “ Kay…”

“ Still talking.” “ Since when do you and Doctor Quinn Medline Woman get to decided how long I have to suffer in this crappy town.”
“ What gives you the right to destroy my chance at freedom.”

“ Kay...”

“ If I decide it’s my time to die, you don’t get a say in it.”

“ BUT IT WASN’T YOUR TIME.” Antonio’s roar had Kay closing her mouth.” You don’t get to decide either; it’s not your choice, that’s a decision made way over your head, and it’s pretty presumptions of you to make it on your own. “ “ Especially when there are people in this very hospital that don’t have the ‘freedom’ to get up on their own, and you….”The anger at Sheridan and Luis lies, at the Grave’s Disease, and everyone that every person that ever disappointed him came to the mind as he yelled. “ YOU SPOILED LITTLE BRAT, YOU’RE EIGHTEEN AND HAVE YOUR ENTIRE LIFE AHEAD OF YOU, AND YOU WOULD WASTE IT, WHILE OTHER PEOPLE ARE FIGHTING TO LIVE, YOU’RE TRYING TO END IT ALL, AND FOR WHAT?”

“FOR LOVE.”

Antonio stepped back as if he had been slapped, but gave her sad shake of his head.” Love doesn’t hurt like this, kiddo.” He picked up her discarded cup, and put it back on her nightstand, as he walked out. “ Stay away from sharp objects.”
