"Hello?"
"Where's Amelia?"
"She's outside."
"It's 2:00 in the morning. Why is she outside?"
"What do you want Olivia?"
"Give Amelia the phone, right now."
Olivia kept the phone away from her ear. The background was so loud. A few minutes later, Amelia came to the phone.
"Hello?"
"Are you having a party?"
"No."
Olivia put the phone closer to her ear. Amelia was slurring her speech.
"Video call me, now."
"What?"
"I said call me!"
"I called you today...didn't I? She wants to video call."
"No!"
The noise faded and a few seconds later Amelia called Olivia. She was sitting outside on the ground. Olivia looked closely at the phone. Amelia was drugged. Sophia was sitting next to her with an arm around her shoulder trying to hold her up. She had a plastic cup in her other hand.
"Hey Amelia we're not finished!" A guy, said loudly.
"Sophia you gave her drugs?!"
"I didn't give her anything!"
"Get everyone out of my house now!"
"We're not at your house."
"Have you been drinking?"
"No."
"What's in the cup?"
"Soda."
"I'm calling mom. You stay there."
"I can drive. I'm sober."
"Sophia, do you think I won't get on a plane and come to DC to kick your ass!"
Olivia covered her mouth when she yelled. She was going to wake up Fitz, Karen and Sabastian.
"Amelia is okay."
"You took her to a party!"
"We wanted to get out of the house, and skating and bowling is getting boring."
"I'm calling mom and Bernadette. It's 11:00 in California."
Olivia hung up the phone and sniffled back her tears. She was so upset. Maya answered with a groggy voice.
"Livvie?"
"I need you to get Amelia and Sophia from a party."
"Livvie the twins are sleep."
"Amelia is drugged and Sophia is drunk. I don't have anyone else to call right now."
Maya put the phone down and poured water on her face. She couldn't do this. It was tiring making sure Amelia and Sophia were okay when they were little. Now it was emotionally draining.
"You're coming back to DC or Amelia is going to Vermont. Sophia is going to California. I've been through this stage with you when you were in high school. I am not going through it again with Amelia and Sophia."
Olivia covered her eyes and tried not to cry. Whatever decision she made would make everyone upset. Amelia didn't want to be in Vermont. Olivia and Fitz wanted peace in their Vermont home. Sabastian was a newborn who needed her attention. Karen was clingy and Amelia was on a road to self destruction.
"Maybe I can hire a nanny for her, so she can stay in DC."
"Whatever you need to do Olivia. I can't keep fixing everything for you. It's time for you to handle your own kids. I have twins. I am tired."
"Thank you mom. I'll text you the address in a few minutes."
Olivia hung up the phone.
