Archer stepped out of the elevator on the fifth floor. He looked around and made his way to the room with the golden number 522. He knocked and waited for the door to be opened.
Caleb Montgomery opened the door of his hotel room and looked into the face of his son
“Hi Dad.” Archer greeted and brushed past him right into the room.
“Let's talk.” Archer sat down on the couch and stared at his father.

At the same time in the hospital.
Addison was still sitting in her bed with Kevin sitting by her side.
“Hey, can you check on Amy?” Addison asked.
“Sure.” Kevin nodded and stood up.
“And Kevin? Tell her I believe her. I really do.”
“I will. And I believe her too.”
Kevin stepped out into the hallway and made his way to Amy's room.
XxX
Amy was lying in her bed and stared at the ceiling. What could she do to make Addison believe her? She really didn't want to kill herself. She cut too deep but not on purpose. She would never to that. Never.
Amy flinched, pulled out of her thoughts, when the door opened and Kevin stepped in.
“Hey.” He smiled at her.
Amy smiled back shyly.
Kevin took the chair and brought it closer to Amy's bed.
“I didn't do it.” Amy defended herself.
Kevin nodded.
“I know.”
“Really?” Amy asked questioningly.”But what about Addie?”
Kevin smiled again and placed his hand on Amy's.
“She believes you too. Addie sent me over here to tell you. Don't worry.”
Amy inhaled deeply.
“I'm so sorry.” Tears were running down her cheeks,
“It's all my fault.”
“What is?” Kevin looked at her confused.
“That Addie worried too much and collapsed.”
“It's not your fault at all. And how told you about it anyways? We didn't want you to know.”
Amy rolled her eyes.
“Nurses talk.”
Kevin chuckled.
“Right.”
Kevin looked at her sternly.
“Say, can you promise me something?”
Amy didn't say something but her eyes looked at him alert.
“Promise me to stop cutting.”
Amy turned her head to look at the wall.
“I'm not really good with keeping this particular promise.”
Kevin frowned.
“What does that mean?”
“Well..... I promised the same to Dell last week.” She lifted her arm with the white wrapping and gave Kevin a guilty look.
“Oh.” Kevin nodded. “I understand”.

In Caleb Montgomery's hotel room, Archer waited for his father to sit down. Caleb refused to sit down though and leaned against the wall.
“What do you want?”
Archer laughed.
“You really don't know? C'mon Dad, my reason should be pretty obvious to you.”
“I don't have anything to say to you about Amy.” He look was stern when he made his way to the door and opened it.
“Hell, I'm not leaving.” Archer exclaimed.
“Well then, I'm calling the police and you will be convicted for trespassing.”
“Great. Declaring one kid temporarily insane and putting the next one in prison? What would that do to your reputation?”
Archer smirked. He definitely won the points for this battle.
Caleb closed the door and went to sit down across from Archer.
“What do you want?”
“I want you to respect your daughter. Respect Amy's wishes.”
“But they are wrong for her.”
“Are they wrong for her or are they wrong for you?”
“She's going to destroy her future.”
“How do you know that? You don't even know her.”
“I'm her father.”
“Biologically, yes.”
“What's that suppose to mean?” Caleb was close to loosing his temper.
“You never cared. Both of you. Bizzy is dead now, she can't try to make Amy forgive her but you.....you still have a chance.”
Caleb looked at his hands.
“Think about it.” Archer felt his words having an impact on his father.
He stood up and made his way out of the room.
Outside he exhaled deeply. He'd done his part now he could only hope.
