Tamia opened the door to Raphael. He looked at her. "Where is she?."

"She's in the bed, sleeping... how is Hadyn?." She asked.

"They have kept him in just to make sure because he couldn't stay awake.. he is having a scan to check for any internal bleeding...

"She is scared Raphael

"She is scared Raphael... she is scared that her old issues are resurfacing..."

"Hmm... I hope not.. I'll see if I can get her counsellor to come and talk to her...

"If she is slipping it is your fault!.."

"Excuse me?." He said to her, with his brow furrowed.

"She told me... how could you say something like that to her after what her mother went through... I get we might be over... but to tell her that you're gonna marry her and take away any trust and comfort she had in knowing she was free of that is a terrible thing to do... take it out on me if you have to, not Lucia... she's a good girl..."
She looked him up and down. "What the hell was going through your head when you put that on her!... it's disgusting and you hated that your family did that... you said it would end with you..."

"You need to stop talking at me... you have no room to speak right now!.. why was your car at Haydn's house earlier..." he said looking at her, he knew already but he wanted to see if she told him the truth.

She chewed her lips. "Kingston came to the house.. he wanted to see Lucia... it wasn't about me!..

"And you just said 'ok, jump in I'll take you to fucking Terra's home!'... what the fuck is wrong with you!.." he snapped.

"He had more men at the house and he wouldn't take no for an answer..."

Raphael shook his head. "This mother fucker is screwing with everyone in our lives.. but he will not get her... and you... you were the one who just invited him in... when you opened yo legs for him!.."

Tamia went to slap his face and he grabbed her wrist stopping her. "Take it and fucking own it Tamia!..because you did that.."

"Yes, I did wrong... I know that... I am paying for it every day... but you are never going to stop going on about it... and I need to know if there is any future for us!." She said.

They finished going at each other as Lucia had woken and was stood up watching them fight. Raphael looked at her. "Lucia...

"Is he okay?." She asked her face straight.

"They've kept him in... just as a precaution... He should be fine.. but he is not going to be happy.. what happened Lucia.."

She shook her head. "I just went blank... I wanted to hurt him... I really thought those days were behind me.."

"So did I... I will get in touch with Ellen... see if she can help you...

"I think me and Hadyn are better off apart... especially if I'm not myself right now.. can you tell him, I don't wanna talk to him.."
