Chapter Three
Oceanside Welness the next morning
Addie was sitting in her office and thought about how she could help Amelia
„I should ask Sheldon, maybe he can help her"
She went into Sheldon´s office where he and Charlotte were sitting and were talking about how they should treat a patient.
When Addie came in, Sheldon asked „What do you need?"
„Could you talk to Amelia? I think she could need some help with assimilating her past!"
„Why? What happened?"
„The medic of Bizzy is Amelia´s Ex-husband and the father of her 7-year-old daughter!"
„WHAT?" Charlotte & Sheldon shouted at the same time.
„Yeah, I was shocked, too! But there must be more, everytime she reminds him she starts crying"
„Okay i´ll see what I can do!"
„Thanks Sheldon"
While Addie went out Charlotte followed her and asked „Is this true? I`m her best friend, why she hasn´t told me about her Ex and her daughter?"
„I´m her sister and she hasn´t told me, too!"
„How can I help?"
„Please tell nobody about that, it´s hard enough right now!
You know how awful it is when everybody is talking about you behind your back."
„I promise. I won´t tell anything"
Back in Addie´s office...
Suddenly Susan came in.
„Hey Susan!How can I help you?"
„I´m here to excuse myself for Bizzy!"
„Oh no! It´s not you fault that she is..." short break „...such a monster!"
„You know that´s not true! She loves Amelia but she was shocked when she heard what happened to Amelia and she recognized that she don´t know anything about her."
„Didn´t she even knew that Amelia was a Junkie?"
„No!"
„Oh okay"
„Did you?"
„Yes she called me after she got out of Rehab. And she asked me for a job"
„And you gave her one?"
„Sure, she is my little sister. I left her alone with Bizzy and the Captain, so that was the least i could do for her"
„And you were not afraid, that she could take the stuff again?"
„Still having this fear but as long as she is going to the meetings with Charlotte, I don´t think about it so often"
„Wish you would tell it Bizzy, so..."
Addison interrupt „No, she wouldn´t knows that we give her the blame, that we had an awful childhood. She has never been a mum for us. She always teached us how to act like adults, we´ve never been normal kids, we´ve never been allowed to be normal kids! With five i was teached how to hold a tea-cup right and how to introduce me in 3 languages!That are just some examples, and this is it what she don´t want to hear!"
„Was it really so bad?"
„Oh yes it was!"
„I´m so sorry Addie! I had no idea. Everytime i´ve been at your house, you learned for your exmams, Amelia went for a ride and Archer was gone with his girlfriend!"
„Yes but this was the only tme in the day, where we had time for us!"
„Was it really so horrible for the three of you?" Addison and Susan looked up and there was Bizzy standing bewildered about what her daughter said about her childhood.
„Bizzy, I just..."Addie tried to explain
„No don´t say anything. I´ve always tried to be a good mother! I´ve always tried to hide in which broken family we lived! At first there always have been the three of you and only in the end there have been my wishes!"
Bizzy boiled with rage but then suddenly she collapsed
„Mum?" Addie screamed
„Bizzy?" Susan´s voice was full of fear „Addison, what happened?"
But Addison had no idea, too.
„Help" Addie shouted and when a nurse came in she screamed „Call 911 and bring a defibrillator!"
St. Ambrose Hospital
Addison an Susan were sitting in the waiting room when Amelia and Charlotte came in.
„What happened?" Amelia asked
„The tumor stopped Bizzy´s heart and she collapsed!"
„So where is she now?"
„They´re making a CT, but to make her stay alive, you have to opperate her!" Addie explained
„Addie!"
„No Amelia, it´s not about you and her anylonger! Now she is a patient who needs your help."
„Okay, but first we have to do some tests to see where the tumor exactly is and a strategy how we´ll get it out there"
„And we have to get her patientfile! You know what that means Amelia"
„Please no! I don´t want to call Eric. I haven´t talk to him for years!"
„So you want me to call him?"
„ No I do it on my own."
