Seb asks confused, 'seb my real name is Riles, not Eddie. Aspen real name is Eliza, joes daughter tristans fiancé' riles says, 'Eliza and I had to change out names and identity due to what we used to do, it was for our safety, we weren't allowed to contact them unless it was an emergency'

' my dad was a single father looking after me but when I got to 2 years old riles began looking after me as he and my dad were childhood friends. I got placed into a protection centre, when I became older I began training but also had to go to families, but the rule was if they questioned who I was I had to leave, Tristans family was the 3rd family I went to, and all the 4 families I went to were in the same band, later when they picked up connor who's family I was staying with, they shouted the name I had with them I went to the police station where Riles was, joe came in and that was when Riles told me joe was my dad. I had to return for training I still didn't fully know what for but when it was time I had to leave.

I had some time with them before I had to go, I was in dads office when Riles came in with my army uniform, tris James brad and connor all shouted 'what going on' when I was saying goodbye to dad so we reminded them what we had told them previously.

Riles always was with me, dad knew where I was but I didn't want the lads to Know as I didn't want them to worry. I was allowed to come home for Christmas which is when tris asked me to be his girlfriend, Jan 4th riles and I had to head back but it was like 3 in the morning and tris was still asleep, I was about to head outside when I heard tris shouting after me and running down the stairs to say he will miss me. I knew I would miss him too.

6 months later everything changed dad ended up getting  a letter saying that riles and myself had gone missing in action which is the 1st time tris knee where I was as joe had rung him to come over.
6 months after being kidnapped I was given a drink that ended up knocking me out, but the building I was in blew up, they got me out and back to a hospital in the uk but they couldn't save my leg' Eliza says

'I'm so sorry that happened asp' seb says 'she never gave up, she began to help Joe with the band things, the lads all helped to look after her.' Riles says, 

They continued to talk about what had happened, 'did she tell you about surprising me on tour?' Tristan says walking in the door with Joe, 'no, she didn't, how did she suprise you?' Seb asks Joe pulls out his phone and gets up a video 'here watch seb' seb watches the video of Eliza, singing wild heart. 'Wow, you are talented asp'

Eliza wakes up screaming. She had a nightmare of what has happened 'papi, papa PAPI!!!' Seb looks confused Riles was out side when it happened, he rushes in 'it's OK hun, papi here' Riles climbs into elizas bed and pulls her head to his chest, stroking her hair she falls back to sleep.

'Sorry to scare you seb, but I'm papi,  Eliza when she was young used to call me papi, when we came back last from duty she had lost her memory, not remembering the lads. But on top of that she got age regression, which only happens when something traumatic happens and can last a few hours to longer periods of time.'

'I'm sorry that she has to go through that, just let me know if I can help' seb says.  Eliza wakes up 'papi? Where's trissy?' She asks, 'he's at home but I can call him for you' Eliza nods her head 'sebbie?' Eliza ask, seb chuckles slightly 'hey I'm here, how about I join you in bed whilst papi calls trissy' seb says eliza nods and seb and riles swap places, Riles places a kiss on her forehead 'papi is outside ringing trissy' he says 'otay'

Outside riles rings tris and joe,

' hey guys

Hey riles how is she,

She woke up screaming papi, so I calmed her down, she fell back to sleep  so I told seb about it an he understood.

She woke up asking Where's trissy, so I said I would call you.

Tell you what,you head back in and I will video call in 5 mins

That's a great idea tris.'
