Setting: Georgia May Lewis, the African American Housekeeper enters the mansion where the Van Heusens reside.

Victoria Van Heusen: Georgia, good morning. Please make sure Abigail isnt late for her finals this morning, I don't know what the hell is wrong with that girl, her teachers keep saying she is falling behind and needs to focus, so please go and get her up and ready.

Georgia: With all due respect Ms Victoria, Abigail is seventeen years old and able to get herself dressed and ready for school.

Victoria Van Heusen: Georgia, with all due respect, I do believe we pay you to help with the children. I suggest you do the job we pay you to do!

Georgia: Yes Maam.(Georgia rolls her eyes and shakes her head as Mrs Van Heusen leaves the house)

Georgia May sits quietly on Abigails bed and strokes her hair.

Georgia: Abbie Honey? You know you gotta get up, your Mama gona have a fit if your butt aint in school this mornin'

Abigail: Georgia? Is that you? I dont feel so good. ( Abigail is pale with her lips turning slightly purple)

Georgia: Oh Lord Jesus! Abbie? Abbie Honey? ( Georgia reaches for the phone and calls for an ambulance)

Cut to the hospital.

Dr Greene: Mrs Van Heusen, im afraid if your housekeeper had not called for paramedics, your daughter would have overdosed.

Victoria Van Heusen: Overdosed? Don't be ridiculous, my daughter doesnt do drugs.

Dr Greene: We found quite an obscene amount of Crystal Meth in her system, she will be fine but we think it would be best if we get a psychiatrist in here to evaluate her to see if she needs treatment.

Victoria Van Heusen: She is fine! She doesnt need treatment. Just get her up so I can get her home and stop this embarassment!

In the Hospital Ward. Room 238

Abigail: Georgia? Are you here?

Georgia: I'm here baby.

Abigail: My mum is pissed isnt she?

Georgia: I would'nt be too worried about your mum honey, i've got a good mind to come over there and beat your little white ass after the stunt you pulled!

Abigail: Georgia, I'm so sorry. Please dont leave because of this. I need you. Dont leave me with her, please, i beg you.

Georgia: Calm down honey, I'm not going anywhere.

(Abigail starts to sob)

Abigail: You don't understand, I cant take it anymore. I cant take her anymore. I cant take being invisible.

Georgia: You should be talking to your mum about this honey.

Abigail: No! She wont listen, she doesnt care! (Starts to raise her voice and sob uncontrollably. Victoria and Dr Greene come running in). It's your fault I'm like this Mother! I remember
