Neve sat by toms bed and sighed as she looked to him as Kenadee walked in and smiled

"I went by the office for you Ross isn't dead. He's vanished. Look I know that you are scared but it is going to be okay. I mean it" Kenadee said as neve looked to her and smiled

"I hope so I am just so tired of being scared. I don't want to be that way anymore. It's too much" neve said as Kenadee walked over to where her sister was and smiled as she wrapped an arm around her and pulled her into a hug and smiled

"I know. I know what he did to you. To Tom and how it brought back so many memories but Tom is going to be okay and you need to be strong and if you can't do it for yourself you could do it for Amelia as she needs her mum and you can't have a mental breakdown now and leave her and I'm worried this time if you do that you won't come back from it" Kenadee said as neve looked to her and smiled. Neve sighed as she glanced to Tom.

She knew Kenadee was right and she knew she needed to move past what she had been through.

Neve smiled as she got home. She smiled as she saw Amelia and picked her up

"mamma" Amelia said as neve kissed the top of her head and smiled as she held her close

"hey baby. It's okay. It's all going to be okay mummy promises. She is going to look after you and daddy is going to get better and it is all going to be okay" neve said.

Neve knew Amelia was little but she knew that she missed Tom and neve was tired and she knew how she was trying to be strong for her little girl as she knew that she wasn't going to go back into a clinic with a crazy therapist who thought that she was in love with him.

She knew that she had her demons and knew it wasn't easy but she knew that she had to overcome them. Neve knew she had to be strong for her baby girl and she knew that she wasn't going to eat anyone hurt her.

Neve looked as Rachel walked into the room and smiled as she looked to her and smiled

"I know it's hard but it will be okay. Tom will be okay neve you just have to be patient" Rachel said as neve looked to her and smiled hoping that she was right

Neve sat in bed with Amelia as she lay babbling away.

Neve knew that Amelia was the only thing that was getting her through the day and knew it wasn't going to be easy but could neve continue to be strong for her little girl and for Tom knowing that they both needed her and that it wasn't easy at all.

Neve had no idea just how everything was going to change for her and it was all down to Ross
