Here is chapter 3!
I hope some more of it will be explained.
Thank you every one for all the great reviews! They really mean a lot to me!
When I woke up the next morning Sadie was already gone. I got up and threw some pants on. I walked down stairs and saw Nate Aimee and Sadie sitting on the floor of the living room watching TV.
"Hey guys!" I say. They all look at me and smile. I glance at the clock. 9:30. wow I woke up early! No wait. Were in Seattle not Nevada. Seattle is and hour earlier that Nevada so that would make it 10:30 for me. So I technically woke up at a decent time, for a teenager that is! "Have you guys eaten breakfast yet?" I know they have. Its always the first thing mom does when she wakes up. But its sorta habit.
"No, mom hasn't woken up yet. And there isn't any food in this house. I checked." Aimee replies. Wow mom not awake by 9:30/ 10:30? (This time difference is gonna get confusing!)
"Oh, well ill go wake her up." I turn and head for the stairs.
"We tried that. Her door is locked." Nate says. Mom locked her door?!?! Something is really wrong.
"Ok ill be right back." I run up the stairs and knock on her door. "Mom!" I say loudly. I hear movement but no reply. "Mom! Open up! We need breakfast!" this time I don't hear any noise. "Mom? Are you ok?" I hear a noise, but its faint. I press my ear to the door. Is she crying!?! "Mom! Are you ok? You need to unlock the door!"
"Not right now Jaicee," She yells out.
"Why? Mom what's wrong?" there's more movement. "Mom really, are you O.K? "
"I'm sick. I think I have food poisoning." She moans. Ok so I don't think that what I heard earlier was crying now.
"Ok, ill get them food and come check on you later. Will you be ok? Do you need any thing?" I call through the door.
"I'm fine for right now." Mom replies.

I walked down stairs where every one was looking at me. Crap they must have heard me yelling through the door! "Hey!" I say happily and smile. Aimee looks at me like I've lost my head. "So we are going to order pizza. But we have to look for the phone books." Aimee stands up from her spot on the floor.
"Why?" Nate asks. Aimee rolls her eyes and walks off to the kitchen.
"Because I need the number." He nods his head and walks off. "Sadie go help him k?"
"Okay." She says in a small voice. She is so quite. Any one that meets her thinks she is the sweet little angel. But if you get in her wrong side, you're dead. She hits harder that Aimee, who is 5 years older than her. I still have bruises from last week when I made her eat all her oatmeal.

This house is fully furnished and has almost any thing we need, except for food and freaking phone book. We have searches every where. The garage all the cabinets every room even the downstairs bathroom.
"Hey we haven't looked in that one." Aimee points to the cabinets above the fridge. I climb up there and open it. In side is a clear glass bottle. I pull it out and read the label. Tequila. We have no food or purified water but we have tequila. Great.
"What is it?" Nate asks.
"Tequila. Its alcohol, we can't have it." I say as I put the bottle back into the cabinet. As I'm climbing off the counter I notice a piece of paper on top or the fridge. I grab it and jump down. The piece of pacer has JOE's BAR and a number written in flowing hand writing. Defiantly moms. I punch the number into my cell phone and push talk. It rings for a while.
"Emerald City bar this is Joe." A mans voice booms through.
"Hi I was wondering if you had the number for a pizza place?" I ask. I can hear people in the background. Its 11:00 in the morning! Who the heak goes to the bar at 11:00 in the morning!?!
"Um, this is a bar." He says slowly.
"Duh. Hence the 'Emerald city bar' greeting. But I need the number for a pizza place. Any one."
"Sorry I only have a number for a cab." He says.
"Give it to me!" I find a pen and paper.
"Ok. 506-7783" I write it down.
"Thanks." I say and hang up.

I decided that it would be easier to walk to the little restaurant that I saw up the street and get a cab from there to Seattle Grace Hospital. Cause I think that's the Hospital Aunt Cristina told us she worked at last time she visited. And id rather let mom sleep because I think she finally fell asleep. But someone needs to help her and us. Plus Christina is like moms best friend.
I walk up to mom's room one more time to see if I get a response out of her. "Mom, were leaving now." I say through the door. And again I get no response. She must really be out. "I'll have my cell and I'm going to take your money." Still no response but at least she can't say I didn't tell her.
The walk to the restaurant wasn't that long. By the time we got there they weren't serving breakfast any more so we all got burgers. After paying the bill with the money I called a cab. The cab was waiting for us out front. We all crammed into the back because the cab driver sorta freaked me out.
"Seattle Grace Hospital" I told him. He nodded his head and sped off. Nate and Sadie giggled the whole way there while Aimee and I exchange looks at there giggle fits. He pulled up in front of the hospital. I paid him the fee and we headed inside.
I have butterflies as we walk through the sliding doors. I spot some seats in the lobby and lead them over to it.
"Now sit here and be good. K?" Nate and Sadie nodded their heads but Aimee just looked at me.
"Why? And where are you going?" Aimee questions. She always has been too smart for her own good.
"I'm gonna ask one of the nurses to page Aunt Cristina." To most kids this would be weird. But not when your Mom is a surgeon.
I walk over to the nurses station and a read headed nurse looks me up and down.
"Hi, can you page a Dr. Cristina Burke please?" I ask sweetly. She just looks at me.
"Why?" she says accusingly.
"Because I want to kidnap her!" the nurse's eyes widen. No one gets my sarcasm "No! I want to talk to her!"
"Is it an emergency?" she flips through some papers.
"Well yeah. Make it 911, I don't want to wait." She raises an eyebrow at me. Its all I can do not to walk off and find her myself. She kinda looks like a leprechaun. What's her name? I look at her name tag. Olivia. HA! She IS a leprechaun! I start to laugh. "Sorry."
"I'm not paging Dr. Burke a 911. She'd kill me." Ok now she is glaring at me! Who does she think she is! I could report her! I know the chief! Well at least I think I do! I could get her ass fired!
"No she wouldn't." she raises an eyebrow. "FINE! Page the chief!"
"I'll page Dr. Burke. The Chief is in Surgery. But if I get in trouble I'm blaming you." She points her boney finger at me.
"Yeah blame the kid. That'll work." She dials a number.
"She should be coming." She growls.
"Thank You!" I say brightly. I turn around and see Aimee, Sadie and Nate walking towards me. "I told you to stay." I tell them. Aimee just shrugs her shoulders.
"You paged?" someone says behind me. I turn around. There is a tall blond leaning on the counter.
"No, I paged Dr. Burke." The Leprechaun says.
"Yes well I lost a bet so I'm answering her pages and then calling her. She is resting." Well this sucks. I need Cristina.
The nurse points to us. The blonde turns around. She eyes us and then slowly walks over.
"Do I know you?" she asks us, eyeing us as if trying to place us.
"I don't know. I'm trying to find Cristina Burke." I tell her. Suddenly her face lights up. Like a light bulb went off.
"Jenevieve? Aimee?" she asks slowly.
"Izzie!" I yell excitedly. She gives me a hug than pulls away with a worried expression.
"Wait why are you guys here. In Seattle? Where's your mom? Is every thing alright?" she asks concerned.
"were fine but moms sick; food poisoning. That's why were her. There's no food in the house. And I obviously cant do anything about it. But there's a little more to the story, I think. But that's why I kinda need Cristina. Mom would be more willing to explain everything to her. No offence. Plus they know her." I indicate to the three kids hiding behind me.
"Ah yes, I completely understand." She smiles and crouches down a little and smiles at Sadie.
"You've never met Nate and Sadie have you?" I ask.
"Only in pictures." She smiles.
"This is our aunt Izzie. You guys have never met her. She is one of moms friends, like aunt Cristina." I tell them. Sadie hides behind me while Aimee and Nate stare at her.
"You're the over peppy one who cooks too much arnt you." I cannot believe Aimee just said that! Talk about first impressions! Izzie laughs.
"That would be me. Did your mom tell you that?" she asks.
"No, Aunt Cristina." Izzie laughs again.
"Figures. Ill go page her now. K?" she says to me. I just nod.
Soooo a 14 year old probably wouldn't do that just because their mom was sick. And the mom would probably call her friends. But this worked for the story.
Tell me what you think! I love anything! Suggestions are great too!
