Leo's POV:
After Enzo put Belle into bed I went over to his room.
He was sitting with his head in his hands.
"Hey man You ok?"
"Yeah... Let's do something fun tomorrow."
Suddenly we heard screaming coming from Belle's room.
"Please Mom I'm sorry! I'm sorry I won't do it again! I'm sorry! NO Don't call Dad!"
The knot that grows in my stomach every night having to hear her screams for help.
I don't know how to help her.
"Belle it's ok. I'm here." We heard Xander say.
We went and sat in the hall.
Just listening.
"Xander..Make it..stop." She said in between sobs.
She's in so much pain.
And we can't do anything to make it stop.
Xander stayed with her until the sun came up.
Enzo switched out with him, so he could get some sleep.
It took some convincing to make Xander leave.
In the afternoon Enzo came down with Belle.
She sat on the couch.
She was just staring forward.
Like she was in a world of her own.
Enzo went into the kitchen and a few minutes later I heard the screech of the teapot.
Moments after Enzo came out holding her tea.
He knelt down in front of her and moved her hair out of her face.
"I made your tea, Sweets. I wanted to tell you, I have a friend coming to stay with us. I have to go pick him up from the airport."
Belle wasn't even looking at him.
Just stared forward.
He hadn't expected Mateo to get here so fast.
He wanted everyone to have more warning.
Especially Belle.
He patted her knee and got up.
When he left her side, a tear rolled down her cheek.
Elliot's POV:
"I gotta know what the hell happened man." I said to my brother.
"No." He said trying to be stern.
I was following him around the house as he was getting ready to go over there.
"Dude she flipped out when she saw some guy. Who was that?"
"None of your business. Now drop it."
"Ughhh. Can I come with you to their house at least?"
"Oh god no."
"Come on please?"
"What, so you can pressure her into telling you? No."
"I wouldn't pressure."
"No. their house is back on lockdown. I bet Ezra isn't even going over for awhile."
