"Addison, what are you doing here?" Naomi asked when she opened the door and saw Addison standing there with Harry.
"Even though I'm not the one to decide who will be the important woman of his life, I think he should know who his grandmother is." Addison said. "That's why I brought him here today."
"There was no need for you to do that."
"Saying thank you would be the perfect reply."
"Thank you."
"Can we come in?"
"Sure, sure."
Naomi hold Harry in her arms.
"He looks nice in your arms." Addie said.
"Thank you for bringing him Addison."
"There's no need to say thanks, I know what he actually means to you."
"Even thought, thank you."
"Can I ask you something Nai?"
"Yes, what is it?"
"You think we could be friends if Sam and I weren't together?"
"Things would be really different in that case."
"If I broke up with Sam, would our friendship be back as it was?"
"I wouldn't be hurt, and I would like to spend more time with you than the, awkward, time we spend now."
"Okay."
Addison stayed at Naomi's for two hours. Naomi took care of Harry and she and Addison actually talked without it being awkward. Addison couldn't stop thinking about what Naomi told her, she needed to do something about it.
"Sam, we need to talk." Addison said when she arrived to the hospital to check on Sam.
"Okay, is everything okay?"
"No, there's something wrong." Addison said and started crying.
"Addie, darling, why are you crying? What's wrong?"
"We are wrong, me being with Harry all the time is wrong. I can't do this Sam."
"What are you talking about?"
"I want you to know one thing; I love you with all my heart. You make me happy like no one else ever did before, when I'm with you I feel like a woman, you take care with me when we have sex and I feel loved, but I can't do this anymore; I need my friend back."
"What are you trying to say Addie? I don't understand you sweetheart."
"We're done, our thing is done, I and Harry are done."
"What? Why?"
"I need my friend back! Naomi is my best friend, I thought I could do this; be with you and let her be mad at me, but I can't, I swear I can't!"
"Addie, come here." He said and made some room for her to sit down next to him. She did as he said and sat next to him; he put his arm around her. "This is what you need to do to be happy?"
"I don't know if I'll be happy or not, I just know I'll get my friend back."
"If that's what you need, I'll accept it. I just want you to know I'll always be here for you Addison. I love you like I never loved someone before, and all I want is for you to be happy."
She started crying and rested her head in his shoulder while she whispered in his ear "I love you Sam, and I'm so sorry!"
He kissed her one last time and told her "I love you, I will always be waiting for you."
*Next day*
"It's done." Addison said while she walked into Naomi's office.
"What's done?" Naomi asked.
"Me and Sam."
"What?"
"I need my best friend back, and if that's the only way I'm getting her back…"
"You really care about us."
"Nai, you're my best friend, and I can't live knowing you're mad at me."
"I'm sorry I can't stand watching you be happy, I mean I'm a bad friend."
"I'll be happy knowing you and I are friends again."
"We will…I promise we will. From now on I'll always be here for you Addison!"
"Me too! And I won't hurt you again, I promise!"
"I love you Addie."
"Me to Nai."
Even though Addison knew she was doing this because she needed her best friend back, she was feeling like crap. Sam was the one, the love of her life, and she gave up on that because Naomi was being hurt…but now she was being hurt.
*A month after that*
"Hey Sam! It's good to have you back!" Cooper said.
"Hey Coop! It's nice to be back at work. I was really getting bored while doing rehab."
"I can imagine. How are you feeling?" Violet asked.
"I'm fine." Sam said. "Well I'll be in my office, finally!"
"He's totally not fine!" Violet said when Sam left.
"Do you think he'll be fine if the woman he loves left him?" Charlotte said. "Of course not!"
"Why she did that?" Violet asked.
"Sh sh sh!" Cooper said when Addison walked through the practice's door.
"Hey guys!" Addie said.
"Hello Addison." The three of them said at the same time.
"Has Sam arrived yet?" She asked.
"Yes, he is in his office… but you shouldn't bother him." Violet said.
"Why do you say I'll bother him?" Addison asked.
"Because you broke up with him, and you haven't seen him in a month." Charlotte said.
"Just give him time." Cooper said.
"You have no idea how I feel! You have no idea of what Sam and I talked when we broke up, so shut the fuck up and let me do what I think it's best!" Addison said and left the practice.
