Riley felt sick. Graham was awake. Sh didn't know how she felt about it all and it made her feel sick.

Riley knew all that Graham had done. How he had made her and Lacey, even Kim feel. She knew how she didn't want him back in her life. But she was glad that he wasn't dead.

Riley stood in the kitchen. She looked to see Kim as she walked in. Kim crossed her arms over her chest. She looked to Riley and smiled. "You went i see him didn't you?" Kim asked.

Riley nodded. "Does Lacey know that he is awake?" She asked.

Kim sighed and nodded. "She doesn't want to talk about it. She doesn't see him as her father. She wants nothing to do with him. It's his own fault. He was never there. He never stepped up. He can't expect to drop the bombshell on her and try. And then play dad with her."

Riley smiled. "Lacey is old enough to know what she wants. I just don't want him back here," she said.

Kim looked to her and smiled. "You don't need to worry. Graham isn't welcome back here," she told her as Riley looked to her and smiled.

She couldn't help but feel worried about everything.

Riley walked into the cafe. She smiled as she saw Lacey as she sat in the corner. Riley walked over to her sister and smiled as she looked to her.

Riley could see how worried that Lacey was. She smiled. "Are you okay?" Riley asked.

Lacey looked to her and smiled. "Honestly? I don't know. Things are a mess. And I hate it. I don't know how to deal with it. I just want it to all be okay. And here he is back in the village."

Riley looked to her and frowned. "Wait... what? He's back in the village?" Riley asked as Lacey nodded.

Riley felt sick. She knew how someone had tried to kill him. And now he was back in the village. Acting as if nothing had happened.

"I know it's hard, I do. But I am here for you. I am your sister and I love you. I don't know why he is here. And I don't care. But we will stick together. We will get through it together. I know that we can," Riley said as Lacey looked to her and smiled.

Riley knew how none of it was going to be easy at all. But she knew that she didn't want Graham to try and ruin them once again.

Riley walked through the village. She groaned as she saw Graham. She rolled her eyes at him. Graham walked over."Are you actually avoiding me?" He asked.

Riley rolled her eyes. "I'm trying too yes. What do you want?"

Graham looked to her and smiled. "I nearly died, I thought that you would be happy to see me. Come on. Lacey won't talk to me. Kim won't let me move back in," he said.

Riley glared. "So what? Do you expect me to jump into bed with you again? We're over Graham. Deal with it," Riley spat as she walked off as Graham looked after her and sighed.

He knew he wasn't going to give up on her.
