Chapter Fourteen

Annie

I can barely see through my tears as I hurry into the Emergency Room. I’m crying over my dad and Dom at the same time, and I’m so angry at Dom for a million different reasons. I’m angry about him and his slutty neighbor, and I’m angry that he’s distracting me at this crucial time when I need to be a hundred percent here for my dad.

“I’m here for Cliff Winterford,” I say breathlessly to a receptionist, as my eyes frantically search the halls for Roxie.

The receptionist nods curtly and her fingers begin flying across the keyboard.

“He’s still being seen, Miss. You can’t go back just yet. But if you follow the blue hall to the right, you’ll find a waiting area.”

“But how is he?” I demand.

“Miss, I don’t have any other information, but please follow the blue hallway and perhaps someone at the nurse’s station there can help you.”

I roll my eyes in annoyance and dash down the blue hall.

“Annabelle!” A familiar voice calls out.

I see Roxie hunched in a chair in the corner.

“Roxie! How is he?”

“I don’t know anything,” she says her voice cracking. “I’m waiting for one of the doctor’s to come back and see me.” She sniffles.

Suddenly she looks very childlike.

“Was Dominic with you?” She asks.

I nod, not wanting to betray myself by telling Roxie that her son is a disgusting man-whore.

Roxie is too perceptive. “What's he done this time?”

“It’s nothing.”

“Annabelle, I can tell it’s something.”

I give Roxie a hard look. “Since you love your son, it’s probably best that I don’t share it with you.”

My tone is scathing and Roxie looks taken aback. She doesn’t have time to ask me anything else before Dom rushes into the small waiting room.

“How is he?”He asks, moving to sit down next to us.

“We don’t know anything,” Roxie says.

“I’m going to get a soda,” I say, jumping out of my chair before Dom can get too close. I’m so disgusted that I don’t even think I can be in the same room with him right now.

“What did you do?” I hear Roxie demand, as I move swiftly towards the soda machine.

I rifle in my purse for a dollar and get a small can of Coke. I lean against the ugly hallway wall so that I can see the doctors and nurses coming and going, as well as Roxie and Dom in a quiet heated conversation.

Good.

I hope Dom tells his mom what a slutty asshole he is.

“Mrs. Winterford?” A doctor asks as he approaches Roxie.

I hurry across the room as I hear Roxie correct the doctor.

“I’m only his fiancé.”

The doctor nods and looks at all three of us. I think he recognizes Dom as some celebrity.

“I’m his daughter,” I speak up.

“Mr. Winterford has had a mild heart attack.” He must see the alarm painted on our faces because he quickly smiles and clarifies himself. “But he is alright. There is very minimal damage to the heart, and he will probably be released in a few days.”

Roxie sags into Dom with relief, and I feel tears flood my eyes.
