A/n: had a busy month but chapters should be back to normal as of now :)

I stand there, I am so caught up about myself that I should i have gave my family more notice. All about sid and the county lines i didn't care about that right now. Auntie di was important and I let slip what happened to her.
I snapped out my thoughts then some one touches my shoulders. It was edward.
"I was trying to call your name, why didn't you answer" he said.
"Because i just found out my auntie is in hospital and why you looking for me tony told me" I hissed.
"Oh yes the one who hurt her do you not know anything he is still having rages" he tells me.
"That's not the tony i know." I looked at him. "Anyway like i would believe you i am off to see her now"  
"Let me come with you i could see how she is" he gives me a small smile.
"No. If it was up to me, you wouldn't be anywhere near my family" i walk past him then look back slightly. "Anyway i will find out who did this and i know you have a secret so it's clear you know something".
"Yes that it is tony!" He yells. "Tony hurt diane".
I grit my teeth and ignore him. I know tony had weird behaviour, i didn't see much but i know that he left to make diane happy so he wouldn't hurt her and the fact that edward is with diane isn't right. It's time i focus on my family.

I pull off my mask and tear up seeing diane in hospital the way she is.
"Auntie di i am so sorry this happened and i wasn't there to protect you.. but i am here now.." i tell her. "Whether you can hear me i just hope you can wake up soon and we won't let who did this get away with it."
I hold on to her hand and sigh. I hope she heard what i said. I sit with her until tony comes in.
"Hey glad your here i can't be here long" he sighs.
"Why? If it's that edward guy he can't stop you" i said.
"He can he has put a restraining order against me" he said sadly.
"But you didn't do it!" I raised my voice.
"No but he thinks i did there's nothing i can do" he starts to cry.
I hug him.
"Uncle tony, i don't trust him if you say you didn't do it then i believe you and only di can tell us the truth." I comfort him.
"Your right but when will she wake up and what if she doesn't" he wipes his eyes.
"She will, she's strong i know she can do it" i smile at her.
"I should go before he notice" he gets up. "Thanks lottie i hope i didn't stress you out.. anyway look out for her for me"
"I am ok" i reassure him. "But i will  look after her".
The heart to heart with tony was good. And it also proved that he wasn't willing to hurt her. This will be my full focus now. I sit with her for another half an hour before saying good bye and my phone buzzes.
Answer your phone.
Jordan and victor of course. Would this be my life now. Dealing with threats hanging over me and questioning my moves?

I get to the meeting place and there was victor. It was clear i was in trouble.
"You know when i ask for you, you should come running" he said.
"I don't always have the time to put this first" i sigh.
"Don't talk to me that way, you kids all the same with you attitudes you don't realise that no one gets away with talking this way to me" he goes close to my face.
"So? Just give me what i need i will get it done i don't have time i have family issues" i tell him.
"Heres the thing lottie" he says walking round me. "I don't do excuse, you do as i say and come when i say or you will get more than a few scratches on you that jordan gave you."
"But yet when juliet did this you put her higher up" i laughed. "I am surprised".
Where was this coming from! What was i doing.
"Lottie.." jordan warns.
"You make a good point, but you have to be trusted" he said.
"Turn up on time, do your job and maybe with that anger i miss judged you" he smirked. "Come back later i will make my decision"
I get handed what i need and walk away shaking. I was full of anger but i also managed to have victor look over choosing me to work with jordan. A part of me thinks i am crazy after what juliet did but i felt good being this side of me.
At that moment i get a call from juliet.
"Hey" i smile as i answered her.
"Don't do it" she says. "Don't you want to be free from all this for sid"
She knows.
"How did.." i trailed off.
"I just got there after you, it's hard to get out of.. i mean peri wants me out i am sure sid would want the same for you" she tells me.
"You don't get it" i sighed.
"Come over before you see him please we can talk it over" she begs.
"Ok i will see you soon" i agreed and put the phone down. She wants to see me and wants me to change my mind. But what ever i choose won't be bad will it?
