Lena's POV

We pull up outside the drive to my Uncles I could of parked on the drive but....knowing my lot they will be by the window on patrol!!

"Not bad driving Lena" JP says to me.

"And why do I detect surprise to your voice" I laugh.

"Well it's the first time I have been in a car with you....and well not bad for a bird" he laughs.

"Not bad for a bird...are you having a laugh....who'd you think taught me? I say giving him a funny mean face look.

JP laughs  and shrugs his shoulders.

"Well....Dan took me out once and never again....Uncle Jimmy took me out twice and he gave up......it was Zane bless him....he took me over Sainsburys carpark time and time again...think the security thought we was planning a hit on their store they even call called the five O on u they came down checked out the insurance and let us carry on.....but in true Chandler fashion I'll have you know that I passed first time" I say laughing.

"Le, I love how you are still so close to your family" he smiles at me.

"And you know what they are gonna love having you back in the fold come on lets enter through the side gate"

We head out of her car and go through the side gate me first with JP behind me.  I open the side door to the Annexe and we walk through to a another connecting door that leads to the main house.   We go in the kitchen and the bifold doors are completely open we stand there hand in hand when we hear

"I don't fucking believe it......JP?" Zane literally screams in a good way.

We watch in slow motion as the rest of the family turn round....by now Zane is already approaching the kitchen.

"Good to see ya son come here" as he reaches out to JP and hugs him.

I see Dan literally run over and hug JP...I watch my Cousins and JP. I look at my Uncle and my Auntie both smiling, my Auntie claps her hands...Chantelle points her finger me at and says

"I bloody knew it...I knew only JP could bring that smile back on your face girl...and when I heard his name was Jon I was hoping my gut feeling was right" she comes over and hugs me.

Poor Sophia looking confused having no idea who JP is.

"Could someone please tell me......" Sophia says but is cut off by Chantelle

"That's JP...Lena's one and only true love".

Everyone now is over at us, hugging us each Dan passing JP a beer and saying

"Welcome back into the fold JP".

"Cheers Dan, it's so good to see you all again" JP says beaming.

"Wait...sorry...I'm a bit lost here could someone please explain....." Sophia asks.

"Soph Lena and JP was together when they was like 18" Zane explains.

"Well if they was so happy why'd they break up" Sophia asks...sometimes we all wished Sophia would just shut up.... I look at Chantelle, Dan, Zane and JP we are only the ones that know the truth.

"It wasn't an easy decision but JP wanted to head to Uni and we both thought it wouldn't work a long distant relationship so we decided to separate" I say.

"Oh is that why?" My Auntie asks.

"Yeah" JP says confirming our lie.

My Uncle shakes JP's hand and says
