Riles's pov

Elizas looking and feeling better, I had a message from Sarg asking if I can go to the base on Friday for a meeting with him, I knew I would be away most of the day leaving very early in the morning or the night before to get there. I remembered what Seb had said to me so I sent him a message 'hey seb, I'm needed at work tomorrow so will either have to leave early Tomorrow or tonight, would you be able to come over?' I ask.

Whilst I was waiting for a reply the doctor rang saying he could come tomorrow, I said I would be working tomorrow. He replied by saying he could come on Saturday instead.

As I was in my trailer getting ready for today's filming I see a message from Riles.

'hey seb, I'm needed at work tomorrow so will either have to leave early Tomorrow or tonight, would you be able to come over?'

I walk to see Joe, 'hey Joe, do you have a minute?' I ask ' of course Seb, how can I help?' He asks 'am I needed for filming tomorrow as Eddie's needed at work and he doesn't want Aspen to be on her own' I ask. 'Let me have a look at the schedule' he says. Joe flicks threw the pages, 'your not needed until Monday' he says 'how is she?' He asks 'I saw her on Monday, and she has been resting most of the day Eddie tells me, the doctor coming to see her again soon. Eddie says she's looking better than she was earlier on in the week' i reply 'that's good to hear, I miss seeing her on set' he says 'give her my regards and hope she's feels better' Joe says 'I will Joe, I'll let Eddie know and I'll see you on set' I reply. I walk back to my trailer to message Riles,

'Hey Eds, Joe says I'm not needed until Monday so I can come over. I can come over tonight and bring some food for us on my way to you' I send it wasn't long for a reply 'thanks seb, I'll see you tonight' he replies 'That's okay have a think and let me know what you fancy' I send back. I put my phone away before heading to set to film.

After the days filming I head home to pick up what I might need overnight and for tomorrow, 'hey eds just at my place, I'll pop and get the food and be with you soon' I send, 'no worries see you soon' he sends back.

It is now Friday and I was feeling alot better, I got myself ready for the day before heading into the kitchen to make myself some toast and strawberry Jam.

'Morning Love, how are you feeling?' Riles asks me 'I'm feeling better thank you' I reply sitting at the counter to eat. 'I'm needed at work tomorrow so I won't be Here' Riles tells me 'so ill be on my own?' I ask 'seb is coming to be with you' Riles tells me 'he's coming over tonight after filming and will be here, ill most likely leave tonight so I can get there for tomorrow' he tells me. 'Okay' I reply.

I spend the day resting in the living room 'eds where will he sleep?' I ask Riles, 'he can sleep in my room' Riles replies.

I sit in the living room watching a Below Deck Sailing yacht when there's a knock at the door, 'ill get it' Riles tells me walking to the door, 'hey Seb come on in' I hear him say. 'Hey Asp how are you feeling?' He asks. ' better thank you' I reply. 'How was filming today?' I ask him 'it went well, had a few laughs' seb says 'Joe hopes your feeling better' he adds 'aw, I am. I can't wait to get back to filming just need the doctor to say I'm good' I reply 'the doc will be coming on Saturday Aspen' Riles says 'thanks Eds' I say. It was soon time for Riles to head off 'I'm off now guys, you can ring me if you need me' Riles tells us 'okay, See you Tomorrow eds' I reply 'see you tomorrow Eddie' Seb says.

After Riles leaves Seb and I sit on the sofa 'so what do you fancy?' I ask him 'we could order in?' I suggested 'pizza?' Seb asks 'sounds good' I say, I open the domino's app on my phone 'we could get one each or share one or two?' I ask 'let's share, and any that's left we could have tomorrow' seb replies. 'That's a great idea Baz, we could get drinks or have what I have here' I suggested. We decided on ordering some drinks too, 'it will be here in 20' I say putting my phone down.

'Thank you for staying with me' I say resting my head on his shoulder 'that's okay Asp, I'm happy to any time' he says kissing my forehead.

Eliza and I had just ordered some pizza and drinks for tea and it will be here in 20 minutes. 'Thank you for staying with me' Eliza says resting her head on my shoulder 'that's okay Asp, I'm happy to any time' I reply kissing her forehead. Growing up it was just my mum and I, since meeting Eliza and getting to know her I felt a connection. I saw her like a sister, she makes me so happy and I would do anything for her, I remember when her and Riles told me about her childhood, she always seems so positive.

'Fancy watching a film?' Eliza asks me 'I would love to, what do you fancy?' I ask 'back to the future?' She suggests 'yeah, I love that film' I reply 'same, it's one of my favourites especially back to the future part 2. It's so interesting to see what they thought the world would be like' Eliza says smiling. Soon there's a knock at the door, 'ill get it Baz, could you get some glasses please' Eliza asks 'sure Doll' I reply. I walk to the kitchen as Eliza answers the door 'thanks, have a good evening' I hear Eliza say before the door shuts, I walk out of the kitchen just as Eliza reaches the living room 'pizzas here!' Eliza says placing the boxes and bottle on the table.

We both sit down and we start the film before tucking into the pizza we watched back to the future part 1. After the film finished we still has some of the pizza left 'I'm stuffed' Eliza says 'stuffed?' I ask 'full, in England quite often people say they are stuffed meaning full up, can't eat any more' Eliza told me. 'I'll take the boxes into the kitchen for you' I say 'thanks seb, I'll get the next film up ready' Eliza says. I walk into the kitchen placing the boxes on the counter, 'I've enjoyed tonight, I love spending time with you Baz' Eliza says leaning her head on my shoulder, I wrap my arm around her 'I've enjoyed tonight too, I also love spending time with you' I say kissing her forehead.

Part way through the film I needed the toilet so we pause it, I walk back to see Eliza asleep on the sofa, just as my phone begins to ring, I see its my mum 'hey mum can I call you back in a bit?' I ask 'sure no worries son' she says. I put the phone down walking over to Els, I carefully pick her up carrying her to her room, I pull back the covers before placing her down. Just as I place the covers over her she begins to stir 'heyyy' she says slowly opening her eyes 'hey asp, it's okay. You can sleep, I won't be long to bed myself' I say 'okay' she says 'I love you baz' she says smiling 'love you too doll, sleep well' I say kissing her forehead before I walk out of her room. I switch off the TV before making sure the doors locked and heading to Riles's room as he said I could sleep in there tonight.

I sit on the bed calling mum back 'hi mom sorry about that' I say 'no worries son, how have you been?' She asks 'I've been good busy filming' I say 'got the day off tomorrow so I'm currently spending with a friend' I say 'a girl friend?' She asks 'yes but not like that' I reply 'we met at her audition and we had an instant connection, I haven't told her this yet but I think of her like a sister. I care about her so much ma.' I say 'she got hurt and she rang me for help, so I stayed with her so she wasn't on her own' I confess. 'You have an amazing heart son, you care about people who mean alot to you,' she says 'thanks mom' I reply. We catch up for a bit before we say goodnight to each other, I get changed for bed not taking long to fall asleep.

I wake up suddenly to screaming, I jump out of bed running to Eliza room 'Aspen' I say she looks at me with tears in her eye 'everything okay?' I ask sitting on her bed 'no, I had a nightmare' she says 'I'm sorry doll' I say 'it was that' she begin before touching her prospetic leg 'it then lead into the attack' she says 'I'm sorry doll' I say hugging her 'could you stay with me please' she asks 'of course I can' I reply. I climb into bed beside her, she lays down with her head on my chest and I wrap my arms around her 'I love you doll' I say kissing her forehead 'I love you too Baz' she replies smiling at me before laying back down, it didn't take long for us both to fall back to sleep Eliza fell asleep first with me following not long after.
