Meeting her match (hollyoaks fanfic)

41

Things between Briana and Warren were getting more and more tense since he had been arrested. Briana felt like he was keeping something from her. And she hated it.

That morning, she woke and saw Warren wasn't there she rolled her eyes as she got out of bed. She checked on Autumn who was fast asleep.

She walked into the living room and saw a note from Warren.

'Had to go to Manchester. Be back later tonight
Love you
-Warren x

Briana scoffed. She didn't know what he was keeping from her. But she was going to find out what it was.

Briana sat Autumn up in the high chair. She began feeding her. Autumn looked around. "Dada?"

"He's not here babes. Don't worry though. Mummy is here," Briana told her as she kissed her head.

She checked her phone to see Warren was calling her. He could wait. She was focusing on her daughter. She wanted Warren to open up to her. To let her in on what was going on.

Briana had taken Autumn to daycare. She met with Kennedy. "Hey. Are you okay?" Briana asked, seeing the look on her best friends face.

Kennedy sighed. "Patrick and I are fighting. He doesn't like that my mum has taken Emilie away for a bit. Says that we should be the ones taking her away," she said.

"Has he hurt you?"

"No, but he got a little rough. He didn't hurt me though," Kennedy told her.

Briana sighed. She smiled and took her hand. "Fancy helping me find out what Warren is up to? He's keeping something from me. And I want to know what it is. He's gone to Manchester. So we can snoop."

Kennedy shrugged and smiled. "Sure. Gives me something to do other than wallow in selfpity," she told her.

"Let's go."

The two of them were in the club. Briana was snooping through the drawers. She frowned. "There's nothing here. It's bloody squeaky clean," she told her.

Kennedy smirked. "Maybe you're just overthinking? I know you do that a lot. Cause you know, you're an overthinker," she said.

"You're not helping at all. He's keeping something from me. I just don't know what," Briana said. She sighed. "Maybe in the flat? It's the only place I can think of."

"Let's go then Dora."

"You're not funny."

"I'm hilarious."

Briana was sitting in the bedroom. She was going through Warren's stuff. She still couldn't find anything to show what he was hiding and it was doing her head in.

Briana sat on the sofa and sighed. She knew how everything was just getting more and more messy and she hated it. She just wanted it to go back to how it was.

Later on that evening, Briana had put Autumn to bed. She was sitting on the sofa when Warren walked in. "Alright babe?" He asked.

"What are you keeping from me?"

"What?"

Briana rolled her eyes and sighed. "I'm not an idiot. I know you're keeping something from me. What?" She asked.

Warren said nothing as he turned away. But what was he keeping from her?
