1 Lu comes into the RWHC twenty minutes late
Lana: Hey kid, where ya been?
Lu: Hey, taking care of things at home.
Lana: Girl, you are so strong how are you doing with another child living in your house?
Lu: Its weird... I haven't really had to care for a kid since Mark left to college and It all happened so fast I haven't had the time to tell him.
Lana: Really? Kid you better tell him soon... before he come how to find another kid in his house.
Lu (smiling) Yeah ill call him later Lana.
Lana: Okay kid.
Lu: So who is my next patient Lana?
Kendra: Lu! I need your help LU!...I found Rachel on the floor with an inhaler by her side!
one of Lu's patients comes running in with her daughter saying that she passed out
Lu: Okay Lana call the ER tell them were coming down with a young child possible OD.
Lana: Okay kid.
Lu: On my count 1,2 and 3...put her on IV and put her on breathing treatment.
Kendra: Is she going to be okay Lu!
Lu: Yes, she is going to be fine Kendra but you need to tell me something. Where did your daughter get this inhaler she doesn't even have asthma.
Kendra: I do not know Lu. She asked to go over a friends house and I said sure she came back 30 minutes later went to her room and when I called her down for breakfast she was passed out.
Lu: Well...okay... she is going to be fine and Im sure she will be free to go home later on today.
Kendra: Okay good.
Later on that day Lu found the time to pick up the phone and call Mark
Lu: Hey Mark?
Mark: Hey mom ! What's up?
Lu: Nothing just at work. Hey uh... listen... I wanted to talk to you about something.
Mark: What is it are you sick?
Lu: Um not exactly but... I need to kind of tell you a story.
Mark: Um okay mom im all ears.
Lu: Well when I was younger I had another kid besides you, and I gave this kid up for adoption. And I received a new patient the other day that so happened to adopt the kid and the kids mother died of an OD and Im kinda in the middle now so the kid is actually living with me now.
Mark: Wow...that is cool mom. Does this kid have a name?
Lu: Um yeah her name is Samantha.
Mark: Oh... I was hoping for a younger brother!
Lu: (chuckling) Im surprised your taking this so well...
Mark: Yeah well mom Im not going to be mad at you. Your doing a good thing! I can not wait to meet her when I come down on Saturday!
Lu: Aw thank you Mark. Im relieved your okay with this. I can not wait for you to come down on Saturday either.
Mark: Yeah mom I am. Well I got to go now mom talk to you on Saturday.
Lu: Okay bye Mark!
Lu went to her office and then decided to check up on Rachel the young girl who had an OD.
Lu: Hey Rachel honey.
Rachel: Hi Lu, where is my mom?
Lu: She is in the waiting room waiting for you to wake up. But before I call her in here I wanted to ask you a couple of questions.
Rachel: Okay.
Lu: Rachel where did you get this inhaler from?
Rachel: From some new girl in the neighborhood I think her name is Samantha.
Lu: Samantha? Samantha who?
Rachel: I don't know. She lives in the building you live in Lu.
Lu: Um...okay. Im going to go get your mom, I have some things to handle for my self.
Rachel: Okay.
Lu went to get Rachel's mother Kendra and then for her lunch break she took a little ride over to her house to settle things with Samantha.
Lu: Samantha!
Samantha: Yes?
Lu: What the hell were you doing giving an inhaler to that young girl Rachel so she can get high?
Samantha: Mom, I didn't. She asked me if I had an inhaler and I gave it to her. She said she wanted it to kill her self after I handed the inhaler over to her. How is that my fault?
Lu: Um its not fully your fault... but your part of it. But you should not have given her the inhaler. I will not allow that in my house! Is that understood?
Samantha: Yes.
Lu: Well... do you want to come with me to work?
Samantha: Yeah. Sure I will get my things.
Lu: Okay.
Lu took Samantha to work with her since she was working a night shift.
Lu: Hey Lana Im back.
Lana: Yeah I see that. With this beautiful little girl!
Samantha: (smirking) Im not a little girl Lana im a teen!
Lana: Oh that's right girl you a teen not a little girl!
Samantha: Yeah.
Lu: Okay Samantha Im going to be working all day so you can go inside my office.
Later on that day Lu did not have any patients so she began to talk to Lana
Lu: Lana did anyone call for me?
Lana: Yeah kid Jonas did.
Lu: Oh okay did he say anything?
Lana: Said he was coming over in 20 minutes. He needed to talk to you.
Lu: Oh? Okay.
Lu waited for Jonas to come and finally he came and they talked
Jonas: Hey Lu.
Lu: Hey Jonas. Haven't talked to you in a couple of days.
Jonas: Yeah. Sorry I have been busy.
Lu: Oh okay.
Jonas: So can we get together tonight? Spend some time together?
Lu: Yeah sure. You don't mind Samantha being there I mean if it's a problem I
Jonas: (interrupts) Lu Its not a problem at all.
Lu: Oh Okay.
(Beep, Beep) ( Lu's pager goes off)
Lu: Okay Jonas I got to go there is an emergency at the ER.
Jonas: Okay Ill be at your place at 9.
Jonas leaves and Lu attends to a patient in the ER her son was having seizures and she thought that he needed to get back on the ritalin again. Lu told Kara the mother that she will get her the ritalin but she wants to make sure he really needs it and told Kara to come in tomorrow. Before Lu left Rittenhouse she took the ritalin for Kara's son to the house in a bottle that she saved to give to her tomorrow when she comes in. Finally it was 8:30 and Lu was on her way out the RWHC
Lu: Okay Lana Im out of here. See you tomorrow.
Lana: Okay kid be careful. Bye Samantha.
Samantha: bye Lana.
They get back to Lu's place and Samantha goes to bed and Lu waited for Jonas to come
Samantha: Good night mom.
Lu: Good night sweety.
(Knock, Knock)
Jonas: Hey there!
Lu: Hey Jonas come in.
Lu and Jonas watch a movie and then went to Lu's room
Lu: (smirking) Okay Jonas I think Im feeling tired.
Jonas: Oh... Im sure you are...
Samantha wakes up not feeling well
Samantha: Mom, I hate to bother you.
Lu: No, its okay sweety what is it Samantha?
Samantha: I...I don't feel well. I have a headache.
Lu: Oh okay well In the kitchen there a bottle of Tylenol it's a plan bottle does not say anything on it.
Samantha: Okay I see it.
Lu: Okay night Samantha.
Lu begins to make love to Jonas and 20 minutes later they are interrupted.
Samantha: MOM!...
Lu jumps off the bed and ran out there to see Samantha laying on the ground passed out
Jonas: Ill call the ambulance.
Lu began bumping her chest and checking for a pulse. They go into the ER and Lu gets her stable.
Lu: Oh my god.
Jonas: What?
Lu: I know why Samantha passed out.
Jonas: why?
Lu: Samantha took the wrong bottle there was a bottle I had in the cabinent with ritalon that I was going to give to one of my patients sons. She took the wrong body its all my fault.
Jonas: Its not your fault Lu.
Lu cried and she fell asleep next to Jonas waiting for Samantha to wake up from resting.
Samantha: Mom.
Lu: Samantha?
Samantha: What happened to me?
Lu: Baby you took the wrong medicine...Im just glad your alive.
Lu looked around to notice Jonas wasn't there she found a letter it said: I HAD TO GO DID NOT HAVE TIME TO SIT THERE...BYE. Lu spent the night at the ER with Samantha.
Samantha: Mom, Its morning and you have work don't you?
Lu: Yeah Im going to go to work. When Im done and off of work you should be ready to come back home.
Samantha: Okay mom bye.
Lu went to work and did not hear from Jonas
Lu: Lana has Jonas called by any chance?
Lana: No kid he hasn't why?
Lu: Nothing just wondering.
Lana: Oh okay kid. Don't you get off early tonight?
Lu: Yeah I get off in like 4 hours.
Lu did not have a busy day and Jonas stayed on her mind the whole time
Lu: Okay Lana Im going home now. My day is finally over!
Lana: (chuckling) See ya kid.
Lu got Samantha out of the hospital and they both went home. That night Lu decided to give Jonas a call
Lu: Hey Jonas.
Jonas: Hi.
Lu: What happened why did you leave the hospital yesterday without even saying goodbye?
Jonas: Because I couldn't stay Lu and Im sorry but this relationship is getting tense for me I think we should give this relationship a break.
Lu: What? But..but...
Jonas: Im sorry Lu... I really am.
Lu hung up the phone and Lu was emotionally hurt
Lu: Maybe having Samantha come into my home was a bad idea... it has ruined everything... me and Jonas are... are not together anymore...
Lu laid down on her bed and cried her self to sleep
Lu: Why?...why me?
