"Thank you for coming today Ellie, Sean. I am so sorry for your loss Ellie, I know that your world was turned upside down after you lost your father, and your mother just wanted you to be ok when... when it was her time to go."
I still remember the meeting, the day, it was so fresh in my mind even though it had been over two years ago. I sat in that cold dark office, watching as my mother's attorney tried to appear sincere, as if he had any idea what it was like to loose not one but both of your parents. My mother hadn't done much for me in my life, she never really approved of my daughter, or my relationship with Sean. She even went as far as refusing to come to my wedding. She had seen Mykel once, about a month after she was born when I forced her to look at her after an impromptu visit. I just couldn't see how anyone couldn't love my daughter. After my father was killed in combat during my freshman year of college, my mother had gone completely insane. When I heard that she had driven her car off the side of the highway, I didn't want to believe it, her blood alcohol level was ridiculously high, I think that she knew what she was doing. I looked over to Sean as he held my hand encouraging me to be strong.
"This is the last Will and Testament of Denise Louise Bringston Nash..."
"I can't believe Ellie is writing a book, I mean how interesting can it be," Paige said as she half smiled at Marco and looked around his freshly occupied apartment. She loved her friend and was sorry that she had lost contact with him. She would have given anything to erase this moment however, hopefully Marco would be ployed to talk about Ellie's book, or at least Ellie and change the subject all on his own.
"Don't try and change the subject Paige, I am not distracted that easily anymore. I can't believe what you have been going through these past couple of years, this is ridiculous, you need to get Matt out of your house, and than you need to move on." Marco said assertively to Paige that evening as he shook a box cutter in his hand. He had just moved in and was extremely excited, not to mention he was starting work that upcoming Monday. He had convinced Paige to come with him after the meltdown at the party, in hopes to cheer her up and catch up some more. Unfortunately, after listening to Paige tell him of how she had basically become a doormat for Mr. Oleander, of all people, to walk all over, his mood was dropping.
"It's not that easy Marco, I mean Matt is the father of my child and well, look at me, who would really want me, I am such a cow now." Paige said as she looked down at the ground.
"You are not, you are beautiful and very successful, If you are so concerned about your weight we'll start going to the gym, taking classes, now that I have finally found you I am not letting you go." Marco laughed as he punched Paige in the arm.
"I mean all that is great Marco, but it still won't get me Alex," Paige said solemnly.
"Alex, I knew that was your ring that she was wearing," Marco smiled. "The two of you are secretly seeing each other aren't you." Marco lit up, he always wanted Paige and Alex to see that they were meant for each other.
"Were secretly, Jay basically figured it out today, that's why I had to get out of there, he said some inappropriate things to me." Paige sighed. " I think she wants to be with him though Marco, she told me that she was considering marrying him."
"Well that is just crazy, Alex knows that Jay doesn't deserve her. You two were made for each other. I just want her to see that." Marco said as he sat down next to Paige.
"I wish she could see it too. I know that if Alex and I were together I could get over Matt and find strength to leave him." Paige said quietly as she blinked back tears.
"Now that is something we are going to work on with or with out Alex," Marco said as his cell phone began to vibrate. "Speak of the devil, look who it is." Marco smiled as he answered his phone. Paige focus her attention or Marco as she tried to study his expressions and figure out what Alex was saying, maybe she was calling to find out how she was doing, or why she had even left the party.
"Oh my God, calm down Alex. What hospital are you guys at." Marco said frantically worry filling his body as he grabbed a pen and paper. Paige sat up straight the worry now carrying over to her as she watched Marco write quickly. "Ok, Paige is with me, we'll be there as soon as we can."
"Marco what is going on," Paige asked with a hint of fear in he voice.
"We have to get to the hospital, now It's Mykel, Alex is going to try and kill Craig if she sees him and someone has to be there to restrain her."
"Sean what is taking so long, she has been back there for over an hour, why won't they tell us what is going on, I mean I work here for flipping sakes." Ellie was frantic, pacing back and forth and ferociously snapping her rubber band as Alex tried to calm her, cutting was looking very tempting right about now.
"I'm sure they will tell us something soon," Sean said as he closed his eyes and held in his tears. He was going to murder Craig if he ever saw him again, the fact that he had been in a relationship with Ellie, his wife, the mother of his child, it was killing him inside. What has Sean done to make Ellie want to do what she did, it had been several years since the incident, but still Ellie never told him about it, how could he ever trust her again. None of it really mattered right now anyway, Sean had said about a thousand prayers since he got to that hospital, all he wanted to hear was that his daughter would be ok, he would deal with the rest of the drama after that. Sean was drifting off in his thoughts when he noticed Liberty, Justice, and Towerz walking in to the waiting area. Towerz' lip was swelling slightly.
"Towerz what took you guys so long man, and what the hell happened to your lip." Jay said as he ran over to his friend.
"We had Craig arrested, but not until after we had it out. I beat the hell out of him, and he deserved much worse. Sean what did they say about Mykel." Towerz said out of breath as he sat down across from Sean, while Liberty went to comfort Ellie.
"They won't tell us anything yet man, it's been forever, I just wish I knew what was wrong with her, at least what caused her to get sick like that." Towerz was debating whether he should be the one to break the news to Sean when the doctor appeared.
"Mr. and Mrs. Cameron," an older man with glassed called out.
"What's wrong with my baby," Ellie blurted out before anyone could say anything else as she and Sean rushed to the doctor.
"Um we found a significant amount of cocaine in your daughter's system," The doctor started as Ellie almost passed out.
"What!" Sean yelled. Craig was dead.
"Is she going to be ok," Ellie pleaded, she couldn't handle losing her daughter, she would have no purpose left.
"We do believe she will be fine, we gave her a saline drip to keep her veins open, and completely flushed her system. We did have to hook her up to a heart monitor and she will have to stay in the ICU, for the next couple of days do to the stress caused to her heart. As of now we have her hooked up to machines to assist her breathing. I have to warn you however, in any juvenile poisoning cases we have to notify social services, a representative should be here with in the hour." The doctor said as he took his glasses off.
"No those drugs weren't ours, we didn't even know they were in our house, the twerp who had them, he was arrested a few minutes ago," Sean debated.
"When can we see her," Ellie blurted out, that's all she cared about.
"Unfortunately, I can't allow you to see her until the representative arrives." The doctor said seriously.
"No, I'm sorry , I demand to see my child right now, now I work in this hospital on the fourth floor, I know how to get back there, I want to see my daughter," Ellie was turning red all she wanted was to be with her daughter, and this doctor was telling her no.
"Ellie what is going on," Alex asked concerned as she walked over to try and help calm her friend down, Towerz and Jay doing the same for Sean.
"Alex, they won't let us see her because they found cocaine in my baby's system." Ellie said as she broke down into Alex's arms. Alex and Jay made eye contact with each other, this was what they were fearing was the cause of Mykel's attack, Craig was going to pay.
"Ellie," Marco yelled out as he and Paige ran over," We got here as fast as we could.
"Marco I'm so glad you are here Ellie cried, "You are a social worker, maybe you can talk some sense into this man for me, I need to see my baby."
"Ok calm down Elle, explain to me everything that happened." Marco said as he led his friend over to a chair in the waiting room.
