I Can't Let You Go

Whys

Kit jumped up from the bed, after the call. Rose just watched him. He started to pack his things to his bag. "Would you please tell me, what the hell are you doing?" she was nervous. "I have to go back" he answered and continued packing. "Why? Because she called you?" she stood up from the bed, and started to argue with him. "No. Not because SHE called me. My mother is in hospital." he answered and tried to be calm and composed. "And how the hell she got to know this?" Rose still could not get over the fact, it was Emilia who called him, and not anyone else. "Rose, I don't know for fuck sake" he raised his voice "I know as much as you do, but I fucking don't care how Emilia knew about this. My mother is in hospital, I have to go home. That is all I know." he zipped his suitcase. "It is still interesting" she added quietly. "You better stop with this." he told her in a serious tone. "I just said..." she continued in sarcastic voice "Shut the fuck your mouth now!" He yelled with her loudly and left her flat, slammed the door behind him.

He called Jack when he got a cab. "What happened?" he started. "Kit. Where the hell were you?" Jack answered. "I am sorry. I turned off my phone. What happened with mom?" he wanted answers. He wanted to know what was going on. He couldn't stop thinking it was the most idiot idea to came to New York. "She had a heart attack. We... she arrived to the hospital in time." Jack told him but his voice was trembling. "But... she'll be okay? Jack?" Kit was worried. "Time will tell." Jack answered quietly. "I am on my way home."

Em had to work. They were filming, but she couldn't turn off her mind. She was worried about Kit's mom. She loved that woman. She was a so kind and lovable woman. She loved her sons, more than anything in the world, and wanted the best for them always. She smiled when she thought back their talk at the Emmys years ago.

"Emilia, darling. Have you seen my son? He and his dad just disappeared and leave me here." Kit's mom, Deborah started. "I think they are smoking. As usual." Em rolled her eyes. "I told him many times, he should quit smoking" Em continued. "I am glad he has friend like you" she smiled at her. "Wish you would be more. You are a rare type of girl my darling. I don't understand where my son put his eyes, when he did not chose you. Why he did not chose you?" Deborah continues. "We are friends. It is the best choice for both of us. I don't think it would be work between us." Emilia smiled to her. "My idiot son have no idea what is good for him." Deborah added and laughed. "It was my choice too, not just his" Em admitted. "I just hope, you won't mind it." his mother told her. "What I won't mind?" Kit arrived back to them. Em and Deborah looked at each other. "That thing, you still did not quit smoking my son."

"Emilia?" the director was there. Next to her. "Emilia? Can we continue?" he asked. "Of course. Sorry." she forced a smile and stood up. She just wanted this day to end finally.

After she finished with the filming, she decided to visit her. She knew, she does not belongs to the family, but she wanted to know everything is fine. She had hopes everything is fine. She was mad at Kit, but she would never wanted anything bad for him. Ever. "Emilia. What are you doing here?" Jack asked when he saw her. "I ... don't know. To be honest. I wanted to... know. Is she okay?" she asked. "She had a heart attack but... Hope she will be okay. The doctors are confident" he answered and sat back to the chair in the corridor. "Do you need something? A sandwich. Coffee. Anything?" Em sat next to him. "No. I am fine. I am just tired." he told her and leaned forward. "Everything will be alright" she was stroking his back. "She is a strong woman." she tried to comfort him. "Yeah, stronger than any of us. I know it" Jack finally smiled a bit. "Em, I... wanted to thank you. For the help. That you called him"

"Of course I did. I heard there must be something serious" Em told him. "He immediately went to the airport. I just hope... he'll arrive soon. Mom needs him. He was always the middle of her heart." Jack said. "Don't say this. She loves both of you." Emilia answered to him. "Yeah, yeah I know she does. But ... he is her little boy. He'll always be, and I know she needs him right now." he told her. "Mr. Harington?" the doctor came to them. "You can go and see her. But not for long. Miss, you are a member of a family?" the doctor turned to Emilia. "She is." Jack told him without hesitation. "This way, please follow me."
