On Thursday night, Amelia walked into the living room where her mother was sitting.

"Mom, I made you some tea to help you sleep."

Regina looked at her daughter in shock, "really?"

"Yeah, I know you've been tired and this way maybe you'll be able to sleep so you can go to parents' night tomorrow."

Regina took the cup from her daughter, "thank you, sweetheart."

Amelia kissed her mother good-night before going to bed herself.

Carl found the tea on the counter the next morning. "Guess, Amelia forgot to put this away." Upon further inspection, Carl noticed something on the box. "Caffeinated?" That's why his wife hadn't slept, but accidents happen.

"Morning dad," Eden and Amelia said as they walked into the kitchen.

"Morning," Carl said.

"What's wrong?" Eden asked.

"Your mother was awake all night."

"Why?" Amelia asked.

"I don't know, but this box of tea on the counter says caffeinated."

"What?" Amelia asked, "I gave her caffeinated? I'm really sorry. I'll go and apologize to her."

"That's okay," Carl said, "she just fell asleep anyway, but she probably won't go tonight."

"I mean, if she's sleeping now then maybe she will. It's like twelve hours away," Amelia said.

"We'll see, but I wouldn't get your hopes up."

Eden glared at her sister. She was suspicious of the whole thing. Could it be a coincidence that Amelia gave their mother something that would keep her up all night? Was it an accident? Regina ended up staying home and Margaline went over to stay with her.

The Saturday after parents' night, Eden had asked to go to the movies with her friends. Amelia wasn't happy about having to stay home with her mother.

"Look, Eden never asks to go out. You on the other hand are always going out. It won't kill you to stay home one night."

"Dad, I already made these plans. Why can't you just stay home?"

"I told you that I have to do the books tonight and help your brother at the church."

"You can do the books at home and help Christian another time."

"You're staying home and that's final."

Amelia stormed upstairs. "Carl, just let her go out. She shouldn't be forced to stay with me."

"Honey, you have been off all week. You are unsteady and need someone here. Now yes, I could change things, but she needs to do this."

"I just don't know why she hates me."

"I don't think she hates you. I just think she's fifteen."

Carl took Eden to drop her off at the movies. Amelia waited to come down until after her father left. She sat in the dining room, on her phone, avoiding her mother. "Amelia, sweetheart, could you come here for a moment?"

Amelia sighed before getting up and walking over to her mother, "what?"

"Could you help me up? I need to use the bathroom." Once Regina was standing, Amelia tried to leave, but Regina stopped her. "I need you to help me."

"Seriously," Amelia was disgusted, "do you want me to go for you too?"

Regina was shocked by her daughter and was deeply hurt, "never mind. I'll just figure it out."

"Whatever," Amelia walked back to the table while her mother went to the bathroom.

It wasn't easy and it took longer, but Regina managed on her own. She only almost fell. When Regina returned to the living room, she noticed her daughter wasn't at the table. She checked the kitchen and all of the rooms on the first floor. Amelia wasn't in any of them. Regina yelled for her daughter, but no answer. She decided to just climb the stairs. It was easier to go up them anyway. Regina couldn't find her daughter anywhere and began to panic. Not because she was alone, but because she had no idea where her daughter was. Regina tried to not rush on her way to the stairs and back down. Unfortunately, she did and fell down the last few steps. Her phone was in the living room and she couldn't get back up.

Carl picked up Eden after her movie and drove home. When they walked into the house, they found Regina on the floor, at the bottom of the stairs. Both rushed to her aid.

"Honey, what happened?"

"I fell down the last few steps."

"Do you think you broke anything?"

"No, but I'm not sure. I know I hurt my back."

"Wait, mom, why were you climbing the stairs?"

"I fell going down them."

"Honey, where's Amelia?"

"I don't know," Regina began to cry.

"What?"

"I'm so worried that something happened to her. I went to the bathroom and when I came out she was gone. I looked everywhere and yelled up the stairs. When she didn't answer, I decided to go up and look. I tried to not rush, but I did and fell."

"Eden, call the paramedics."

"I already did."

"When?"

"I was able to contact them with this app," Eden showed her father who was amazed, but quickly snapped out of it.

"Why were you in the bathroom by yourself?"

Regina began to cry and explained what had happened to her husband. Carl was furious. "Dad, if you want to go look for Amelia, I can ride with mom."

When the paramedics were getting Regina situated, they noticed that she had cracked her head open. There was blood on the floor and Carl left it before going to look for his daughter. He saw her walking into a house a few doors down with some friends. He wanted to drag her ass out of there but decided to go be with his wife. Eden was always helping to take care of her mother. She rarely had to be asked, so Carl decided to go to the hospital and relieve his daughter. He felt guilty, but Eden always told him not to worry. Carl decided that things were going to change around there.
