{{Simon Flashback}}

"Mom. Come here now." Simon screamed and Annie came running up the stairs.

"What is it….Oh my god Simon what happened?" Annie went pale.

"I don't know mom. She came upstairs locked herself in the bathroom and then I heard something fall so I came to see what it was and she was lying here."

"Luce, Luce, Call 911!" Annie was trying to keep calm.

"What is it mom. Are you alr….Get me the phone." Lucy came running and took one look at Ruthie and almost vomited all over the place. She ran to get the phone. Five minutes later, Simon heard sirens outside. He also heard voices downstairs. Then feet running up the stairs.

"Shes in here." Lucy said and Simon saw some medical people coming in the bathroom.

"Excuse me Miss. Sir Pardon me. Can we please see her. Are you her mother?" A paramedic asked her. Annie knodded. "OK. I am Damien. I want you to go with my partner. His name is Aaron. He is going to ask you some questions and then we will get you to the hospital."

"OK. But you might want to talk to Simon he knows more about her than me. Luce do me a favor. Get the twins and Kevin in the car. Take them to the hospital. And then call Chandler, Roxanne, Mary, Sara, and Matt. Please Luce. Thanks."

"Sure mom. Anything." Lucy said sprinting away and into the twins room.

"OK. Sir are you Simon?" Aaron asked him. He knodded. "OK. I want you to come with me." Annie was in tears and Simon looked sick. They were asked all kinds of questions and than taken to the hospital and forced to wait in the waiting room. It all lead up to now.

The entrance to the hospital doors opened Matt and Sara walked in.

"What's wrong. We got here as fast as we can. Where is Ruthie?" Matt asked.

"There's no word yet." Annie said getting up and walking up over to hug Matt and Sara.

"Well what happened. All Luce told us was that Ruthie is in the hospital." Matt said. And as he said this Mary walked in.

"Mom. What happened. I got a message on my machine that said to get to the hospital as soon as possible because Ruthie was hurt. What happened?" Mary said running to hug her mom.

"OK. Well I'm not sure but I am pretty sure that Ruthie tried to kill herself. Simon found her in the bathroom bleeding and passed out. I kind of yelled at her." Annie said.

"Why did you yell at her." Mary asked.

"Because she's…." Annie was interrupted by a doctor.

"Hello. I am doctor Surhly. I am assuming that you are Annie Camden." He extended his hand to hers.
