The period in which Ross had to wait to see the Doctor was not good.
Ross was having severe headaches.
Kayley tried to ground Ross to the apartment, and tell Ross not to go in to the office.
Ross became helpless, frustrated, and depressed.
Them as if Ross's health issues were not bad enough, Tazzio started to shoot his trap off, and attempted to start trouble with/for Ross.
For the first time in his life, Ross truly felt at a loss.
In the meantime,. Fritz and Steve had closed an oil and gas deal with some investors. Ross was not able to be present for the oil and gas show due to his health, but, in spite of it, Fritz and Steve generously split every investor's commission, in thirds. as they would had Ross been present.
Kayley's mood turned from infuriated , to downright scared.
She would try to comfort Ross at night, and the two of them would be shaking in each other's arms.
Ross said something that both terrified Kayley, and infuriated her.
"Kale, have you ever thought of what would be if this is a tumor. If it is, it could be Cancer, and you will be rid of me" Ross said, intending to be humorous but also making Kayley flip.
"Dont you dare say that! It is either a migraine, a medicine change, or maybe your eyes. You do not have a tumor. Youve been tested before, and you did not have one" Kayley said.
"Yes, but that does not mean I dont have one this time. " Ross said.
"If you dont stop this talk, I swear to Holy God I am kicking you out of this bed indefinitely, and you can sleep either on the floor, or on the couch! I do not fucking care!" Kayley snapped.
"Kale, in all seriousness, I'm scared" Ross said, his voice shaking.
"I am too, but at least we will soon know, just hang on a bit longer, baby" Kayley said.
Ross tried to drag himself into the office, over Kayley's objections, and Ross would try to work.
Ross had trouble concentrating on his work. His mind would wander and his headaches would take him over where he had to take naps on the couch.
One day, Tim Patrick showed up at the office unannounced. He opened the door to Ross's office, and Ross was dozing on the couch, with his shoes off beside him
Tim entered the office. "Ross, you okay, buddy?" Tim said.
Ross felt humiliated: "Oh, my God, Tim, I am so sorry. How unprofessional of me to be dozing in the office. How can I help you?" Ross said, composing himself.
"Ross, fuck unprofessional. I am your client, but I am also your best friend. I stopped by to see how my friend Ross who is suffering is doing" Tim said.
Ross went to his chair, as Tim sat in the guest's chair.
"It's a struggle. I feel like a can't stay home, because it's not right for me to run a company, and do that. Plus, being at home all day, even if I can work in the den, depresses me" Ross said.
"The Doctor will give you an answer. Just hang on, buddy, Kayley, me and everyone all love you" Tim said. touching Ross's hand in a friendly way.
Ross and Tim discussed some business, and then Tim said. "I'm treating you to Chinese food. You need to get out of here. After that, if you don t feel better, I will call an Uber, and let them take you home" Tim said.
Tim and Ross walked out of the office. "Tim and me are going out to lunch. It may be a long meeting with him. I may or many not be back. Please just take any messages, as I am shutting off my cell phone, as Tim and me have important business to discuss" Ross said.
"Okay, Ross, Tim, have a good lunch" Victor said.
Tim and Ross hopped into an Uber, and went to a Chinese lunch.l
Ross was able to eat lunch, and talk a bit of business, but he truly felt awful.
"All of my work is done, and Fritz and Steve are taking care of the oil and gas. You just need to get well" Tim said.
"I thank you all for your support. What bothers me is, all this means that my three best friends are doing my work for me, when you all have your own businesses to run. That is not fair to any of you" Ross said.
"It will just be for a while. I know you, Ross C, and you will overcome this, and fight your way back" Tim said.
"I told Kayley that maybe I have a brain tumor and she would be rid of me as a joke. She flipped her lid and banned me to the couch, and is not letting me touch her" Ross said.
"Kayley loves you from the bottom of her soul. She's just very upset that the person she loves most in the world is suffering" Tim said.
"I know. I'm a very lucky man, to have a wife, and friends who love me as much as you all do. I want to stick around for a while. I have too much reason to live for it to be over now Ross said.
"It is not over. This is just a rough time. You are a fighter. You will get through this" Tim said.
The men finished their lunch, Tim paid the bill, the men hopped into an Uber, and went up to Ross's office. Tim left, and Ross tried to stay, but it was all to no avail.
"Okay, I give up, I will be back tomorrow. Hopefully when the headache doctor sees me I will get answers" Ross said, exiting the office.
Ross took an Ober home, went upstairs, and found Kayley on the couch with her feet up
"I guess you feel like shit" Kayley said.
"Tim took me out to lunch. I felt so horrible that he had to take me back to the office, I took a different Uber home, and here I am, I hope you are not going to kill me for being here. I will get out of your way, and leave you alone" Ross said.
Kayley stood up, and grabbed Ross in a hug, Ross could barely stand up.
"Dont you dare go anywhere but here, you. Get the Hell over here so I can hug you and hold you. No matter what you have, you are still mine, and I intend to keep you for a while" Kayley said, leading Ross to the bedroom, ripping off his clothes, giving him boxer shorts, and herself ripping off her clothes, and putting on shorts a t shirt.
Ross held Kayley and was shaking. He was a crumbled, beaten man.
That night, Ross and Kayley went to bed. They did not do anything, but they lied near each other, touching hands, staring at the ceiling.
"Dont you dare leave me. We are not finished yet!" Kayley said in a firm tone, but her voice also shaking.
"I wont. I plan to fight whatever this is, and stick around for a while" Ross said.
Ross was suffering terribly. It would take a while before he had any answers.
What would happen next? Would Ross and Kayley finally come out of this hell?
That would be seen.
Ross was having severe headaches.
