Bleeding Hearts (Norman Reedus)

Doctor Hecktor

(Ashley's POV)

North Carolina

Back to a broken home, Mom and Dad now knows about Norman and I. Mom took Mason off my hands for a while so I could get back to work at the bar and grill. My boss asked if Roxie wanted to work but she turned down the job to house sit.

Work was a drag but I needed the money to keep the house up so I wouldn't lose it. It was Wednesday one of the worse days to work since it was the middle of the week and people wanted to drink unwind for a little bit before going back to work.

"Hey Boo...you ok?" Lisa asked helping me behind the bar.

"Yeah just tired and drained that's all and worried about Roxie and thinking about going back home to NYC." I said as the bar phone rung Stacie answered it.

"Hello? Hey Billy yeah she's here is everything ok?" Stacie asked looking at me.

"Roxie." I said looking at Lisa as we both went for the phone while Stacie handed me the phone.

"What's up Bill?" I asked.

"You need to go to Frye." Billy said.

"What do you mean Frye...what the hell happened Billy?" I asked.

"Roxie collapsed I called a ambulance since I don't have a vehicle and your about 30 minutes away from here." Billy said.

"Ok...ok, We're on our way." I said looking at our boss before hanging up.

"Go ahead...Stacie and I can handle this just call me and let me know what's going on." She said as I nodded.

"Thanks, Boss." I said as I nodded for Lisa to follow me to the car.

Once in the car I called Mom and told her about Roxie...I told her not to worry even though I was but I told her I would call her back once I found out something. She said she understood and that she would keep Mason until I came for him.

"What do you think is wrong with her?" Lisa asked as I lit cigarette after cigarette while driving.

"I don't know...since we left she hasn't been eating, sleeping or doing anything just sits in her room and cries." I said .

"You don't think she's into pills or anything?" Lisa asked.

"No....I don't have pills in my home except for Tylenol." I said.

"You can O.D. on those too you know." Lisa said.

"Lisa...we're just going through a hard time right now she knows some day we will go back home she's not going to kill herself." I said as we pulled into the emergency entrance and parked my car and ran in.

"Hello...Miss...how may I help you?" The young blond asked behind the checkout desk.

"Yes...my daughter just came in by ambulance." I said as she looked at the paper work and looked back at me.

"The 16 year old is your daughter?" She asked.

"My niece by blood but my husband and I adopted her." I said.

"Well I need some type of paper work that she's yours." The blond said.

"How about this for your fucking paper work." I said giving her the finger. "Lisa call Sheriff Ricker please...I want this blond bimbo fired please." I added as two police officers came around the corner.

"Holy shit, Ashley never mind....come on back." Jerry said as I smiled at the blond and flipped her off.

"I still want Ricker here, no one fucks with me when it comes to my children." I said nodding to her.
