Cruel Britannia Tue Mar 29, 2011 5:32 pm

Nurse: They left, there was a lot of noise in the parking lot a few minutes later the Irish man carried Dr Edwards' son into the ER, then he left.... sped off in his car.

..... Mr Edwards has been treated.... he's in room 3 if you wish to see him.

Pockets Tue Mar 29, 2011 5:35 pm

Alexis stares at the nurse for a fraction of a second, then runs down the hallway to the room.

Alexis: Alex! Oh my god... what happened?

Cruel Britannia Tue Mar 29, 2011 5:38 pm

Alex looks over at her his eyes glassy.

Alex: Lexi?.... it's ok.... relax.... I'm OK.

Pockets Tue Mar 29, 2011 5:46 pm

Alexis runs over and hugs him.

Alexis: Your head....

Cruel Britannia Tue Mar 29, 2011 6:00 pm

Alex: It's alright..... just a few stitches and a bad concussion

Pockets Tue Mar 29, 2011 7:38 pm

Alexis: Any concussion for you is a bad concussion... what happened?

Cruel Britannia Tue Mar 29, 2011 7:45 pm

Alex: When your dad and I were arguing earlier..... he wouldn't stop.... he wouldn't listen.... I got angry.... I made some stupid thoughtless comment about his drinking... I thought he just shrugged it off. Then when I was speaking to you.... he went out to his car.... started hitting the steering wheel.... I thought he was going to do something stupid.... fall off the wagon.... I dunno. I tried to talk to him.... he wouldn't speak to me. So I sat on the hood of his car.... you know.... so he couldn't drive anywhere..... wasn't expecting him to hit the gas.

Pockets Tue Mar 29, 2011 7:49 pm

Alexis cups her hands over her face, bringing them down over her nose and mouth as she turns and walks away from the bed, finally bringing them together in front of her face. She looks back at Alex.

Alexis: He just left you there?

Cruel Britannia Tue Mar 29, 2011 7:51 pm

Alex: I don't know.... I blacked out when I hit the concrete.... the doctors said he carried me into the ER then drove off.

Pockets Tue Mar 29, 2011 8:05 pm

Alexis looks halfway relieved.

Alexis: At least he brought you in....

She walks back over to the bed and softly strokes Alex's cheek.

Alexis: What all did the doctors say?

Cruel Britannia Tue Mar 29, 2011 8:11 pm

Alex: Honey.... relax..... they said I'll be fine.... the concussion was a little worse than is should have been because of my condition..... I'm pretty groggy....but I should be able to go home tonight..... just gotta make sure I wake up every couple of hours or so.....

Pockets Tue Mar 29, 2011 8:12 pm

Alexis nods.

Alexis: I'll make sure of that.

Cruel Britannia Tue Mar 29, 2011 8:18 pm

Alex chuckles.

Alex: You made that sound like you were coming on to me

Amanda: Heh.... as if you'd object to that.....

Alex: Nice to see you too sis.

Pockets Tue Mar 29, 2011 8:22 pm

Alexis smirks, relieved that he did seem to be alright.

Alexis: Now why would I do that? Too much risk of you hitting your head.

Cruel Britannia Tue Mar 29, 2011 8:27 pm

Alex: How would I sustain head trauma.... doing that? What the hell did you have planned for me?

He takes her hand.

.... see I'm fine.... still me..... just a little bumpier.

Jabberwocky Tue Mar 29, 2011 8:28 pm

a frazzled Paddy walks by spotting Alexis
Paddy:"christ,there you are!"

Pockets Tue Mar 29, 2011 8:30 pm

Alexis: You could bump it on the headboard....

She turns to see her uncle.

Alexis: Uncle Paddy! Have you heard anything about dad... where he went?

Jabberwocky Tue Mar 29, 2011 8:45 pm

Paddy give her a look and walks over to the tv,turning it on to the bbc
"once again,former wrestler Ashley O'Ryan has been identifed as the jumper on tower bridge. he hasnt responded to the police, however eyewitnesses have said he mentioned ruinning his daughters life. more as this develops..."

Paddy:"..."
he looks at Alexis

Pockets Tue Mar 29, 2011 8:59 pm

Alexis stares at the tv, stunned.

Alexis: Amanda... can you please go get Naomi? I think she stayed in the limo. See if you can find Aunt Quelly and mom too.

Moira walks in.

Moira: I'm 'ere. I didn't want to interrupt anythin'

She looks up at the tv and sighs.

Moira: Bloody 'ell Ash... wot makes you think that's gonna 'elp anythin'....

Alexis: I don't know if this will help... but.

She withdraws her hand from Alex's just long enough to send a text to Ashley's phone
Alex is going to be fine. Please come back.

Cruel Britannia Tue Mar 29, 2011 9:02 pm

Amanda gets Naomi from the limo.

Cryonix Tue Mar 29, 2011 9:03 pm

Naomi: Oh...Amanda, dear. God, is Alex alright?

She notices the annoyance...

Naomi: What's wrong, hon?

Cruel Britannia Tue Mar 29, 2011 9:07 pm

Amanda: Alex will be OK..... few stitches, severe concussion..... Ashley did it.... and now he's threatening to throw himself off tower bridge.

Cryonix Tue Mar 29, 2011 9:09 pm

Naomi gets a real confused look on her face....

Naomi: So....he....I....Uh huh....

She gets out of the limo and takes out her cell phone...

Naomi: A...ashley? We....we just found each other...you....you're going to leave me all alone now?

Jabberwocky Tue Mar 29, 2011 9:12 pm

Ashley texts back

Ashley:"I would just end up doing something again. I'm just going to ruin your life if I stick around. Just like I damn near ruined Moira's life. Just like I'd ruin Naomi's...I almost relapsed. I had the bottle in my hand. I can't fight it. This is the only way out, with me gone there would be no issues between anybody. You can all just move on with out me wrecking it. Tell Colin I love him. I love you too Alexis."

he sends the text and answers

Ashley:"I'm not strong enough Naomi. I'm just going to drag you down with me. I love you too much to do that to you. You deserve so much better then having to worry about me. I...I love you."

he hangs up

Pockets Tue Mar 29, 2011 9:14 pm

Alexis reads the text and starts crying.
