Chapter 13

                                    

                                          
Lisa sat up gasping and looked around confused, "Easy Darling, easy." She glanced to her left and saw Owen sitting beside her. "Deep breaths," he said softly as he pulled her into his lap. "You're okay, I'm here, I got you." He kept repeating it in her ear as he rubbed her back. 
                          
"Sorry," She whispered as she clutched him tightly. "Just give me a few minutes." 
 "Take all the time you need," he said as he rubbed her back. 
                          
"Mr. B," North stormed into the room. "We have a situation." 
                          
"Right now?" he asked. 
                          
"Yes," North growled. 
                          
"Darling I'm sorry but there is something I have to take care of," Owen said sitting up a little more. "Mr. Taylor will take you to Dr. Green and he will take care of you until I am done." 
                          
"That's okay," She shook her head and sat up. They noticed she was shivering slightly. "I can stay here, can I just have a book and some art supplies since I won't be going to the bookstore?" 
                          
"We actually have an art studio you can go to," North smirked. 
 "Just promise me you will not leave that art studio until one of us comes to get you," Owen commanded. "Can you do that for me?" 
                          
She leaned forward so she was right by his ear, "I still feel fuzzy, will you just lock the door please? I know sometimes I walk without really noticing when my head isn't clear yet." 
                          
"That is an excellent idea Darling," he said as he pushed some hair out of her face. "I will have Mr. Taylor take you to the art studio, then have Mr. Weiland bring you something to eat. Dr. Green will come give you a check up and then he will go along with your idea, okay? Mr. Coleman will not bother you today." 
                          
"Check up?" North asked confused. "She already had a check up." 
                          
"Dr. Green has some questions about her medicine, so he wants to give her another check up," Owen said as he helped her stand. "Do not pry Mr. Taylor, it will be explained when she is ready." 
                          
"Got it, come on Baby," North said as he held out his hand. 
                          
"She is a little light headed," Owen said as he slipped his jacket on and fixed his tie, "Keep her steady." 
                          
North put his hand on her waist as he led her to the art studio. "What the fuck is going on North?" Gabe asked as he came up behind them. North felt her tense up under his touch. 
                          
"She wants to draw so Mr. B told me to bring her here," North explained. "He said you have to stay away from here while she is in here." 
                          
"The art studio?" Gabe asked shocked. "She fucking draws?" 
                          
"I don't know," North shrugged. "I am just doing what Mr. B asked me to do. What art do you do, Baby?" North asked softly. 
                          
"I draw, paint, cross stitch, embroidery, and sew," she whispered after she tugged on his shirt so he leant down to her. 
                          
"She draws, paints, cross stitches, embroidery, and sews," North smiled. 
                          
"Fucking hell," Gabe pouted. "I can't watch at all? But I love art! What if she needs help with something? I'm the one that could help her!" 
                          
"Guess you shouldn't have been such an ass to her then," North shrugged. "Here we go, Baby, help yourself to whatever is in here, okay? I will come see you after we're done." 
                          
"Okay, thank you," she said as she sat in the bay window seat. 
                          
Just as North was leaving Marc and Sean walked in. "Here you go Beautiful," Marc smiled as he brought in a tray with some snacks on it and some water. She told him thank you and he left. 
                          
Sean came and sat next to her, "Owen told me how you are feeling, Pookie. Do you think you will feel better after you eat something?" 
                          
"Sometimes I do and sometimes I don't," She admitted as she popped a grape into her mouth. 
                          
"Okay, I want you to eat and then I will come back and check on you to see how you feel, okay?" Sean asked as someone knocked on the door. They looked up and saw Silas standing there. 
                          
"Mr. B needs you Doc," Silas said. 
                          
"Okay," Sean nodded. "Actually, are you needed Silas?" 
                          
"No," Silas shook his head. 
                          
"Great, I need you to stay in here and keep an eye on Pookie for me then," Sean said and she tugged on his sleeve. Sean smiled, "Don't worry Pookie, Silas doesn't ask questions and will leave you be unless you need help with something. She is feeling a little under the weather but wants to do some artwork. Owen wants her to stay in here then until he is done taking care of some business. Since I am needed, I need you to please let me know if she improves after she eats or stays the same. Gabe isn't allowed in here as well. I'm locking this from the outside just so you know." 
                          
"Got it," Silas nodded. 
                          
Sean left and she picked at the fruit in the bowl. After a little bit she sat the bowl down then looked around for a sketch pad. She found one in a drawer with some pencils. "Silas?" She asked softly briefly glancing at the tall man who was looking at something on his phone while sitting on the couch across from her. He looked up at her and sat the phone down. "Is there a radio or laptop or something I can use to listen to music to? I forgot my phone in the room I was staying in last night and Owen said I need to stay in here until someone comes to get me." 
                          
"One second," he says as he types on his phone. A couple of minutes later someone knocks and he answers it to see Victor standing there. Victor hands him something and she heard it lock after he left. Silas walked over to her and handed her a laptop with Bluetooth headphones. "Here you go."
