Annie's Point Page #2

For me to send you

to this place?

Yeah, I do. But you don't

know what it's like for me.

Come on, Ella! It's school!

It's not prison! Dad!

I know you're going through

some sort of teenage crisis,

But I am not gonna let

you throw away your future

To follow some

stupid fantasy!

I knew you wouldn't

understand.

You don't care

about my feelings.

All you care about

is this stupid company.

You don't know what

you're talking about.

This stupid

company is...

Grandma said there was

nothing keeping me there,

And you know what?

She was right.

Got good news

and bad news.

Your echocardiogram showed significant

blockage on two of your arteries.

I certainly hope

that's the bad news.

It is.

The good news is,

With a fairly

routine bypass,

You'll be as good

as new. But...

I've never been sick

a day in my life.

But, to be honest,

After watching Eliot in that

hospital all those months,

I never want to

set foot in one again.

I understand.

But this is

a serious situation.

Without the operation...

I could die?

Yes.

You could die.

We need to get you into the

hospital as soon as possible.

Can I have

a day or two

Before I commit

to a surgery date?

Sure.

In the meantime,

we need to get you going

On a new blood pressure

medication.

It could make you feel a

little lightheaded at first,

So try to take it easy.

Can I drive?

I wouldn't recommend it.

At least

not for a while.

Sorry about that, everybody.

What did I miss?

I was just telling

your mother...

I'll fill him in later.

Come on, dear.

Annie... Remember.

With this new medication,

No driving if

you feel lightheaded.

Thank you, doctor.

Let's hear it again

for Kim Bobletta!

And now please

welcome... Ella.

Sorry. Whoops.

Are you sure Dr. Meldon

didn't say anything else?

It's just blood pressure

medication?

That's all.

But, now that

I can't go alone,

I need you to make

that trip with me.

Mom, that's

2,000 Miles away.

I've got a great car.

I can't do this

right now, mom.

I told you, there's too

much going on at work.

As soon as

the project is over,

I'll take you there

myself.

That might be too late.

Too late for what? Mom,

what are you not telling me?

Nothing. But with the wedding

anniversary coming up...

I'll take you to a nice dinner to

celebrate your wedding anniversary.

Why don't... oh!

Oh, my!

Mom!

What if I hadn't

been here?

What would you have done?

Ok, that's it. You

can't stay here anymore.

This is not just

for my peace of mind.

It's for your safety.

What if you got someone

to stay with me?

For how long?

That's really expensive.

Your father and I

built this house

With our bare hands.

It's all I've got left.
