—————————————————————
Siobhan knew she had fucked up. Normally when she'd spend extra time in the nursery she'd rush home and deal with Roger in the privacy of her own house. But this time, she saw his car pull up in the car park and she had no where else to go.

Marjorie had left to visit Reece. Autumn was out sick. Almost nobody else was in the nursery to save her.

Roger stormed into the office, Siobhan thought she could try and hide under the desk but her fiancé already knew she was here and would stop at nothing to find her. He grabbed her wrist and aggressively pulled her out from under the desk, immediately slapping her in the face with his spare hand.

"WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU!? YOU'VE BEEN MISSING FOR AN EXTRA HOUR. LEARN TO USE YOUR PHONE OR I'LL FUCKING SMASH IT OVER YOUR HEAD." Roger nonstop screamed at the poor woman, she just stood and took it as he shouted.

Vivian was still in the nursery, she had to stay back and sign an incident form for her son and as she walked through the corridors with Jamie she couldn't help but overhear an old man shouting.

"What the hell.. Jamie, sweetheart, go back to your classroom and tell Charlotte mummy just had to run to the bathroom before we leave, okay?"

Vivians son happily ran back to the classroom and  hugged Charlotte explaining why he was back and going to play while he waited. The woman watched him enter the room and sped off to follow the loud voices she had presumed were coming from the office.

"It's probably just an angry parent.. but i thought Marjorie and Autumn were both out.." Vivian thought to herself as she walked through the corridor, she felt nosy but if it really was just a parent it would at least give her some peace of mind before she left for the weekend.

"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU SIOBHAN. YOU'RE SO USELESS IF I HADN'T GIVEN YOU THIS JOB YOU'D BE ON YOUR HANDS AND KNEES IN A STRIP CLUB! FOR ALL I KNOW YOU ALREADY ARE! YOU SHOULD BE GRATEFUL FOR ME AND THE LEAST YOU CAN DO IS ACT LIKE IT."

Vivians heart dropped as the man said Siobhan. She pieced together who was shouting at her immediately and figured the only way she could help now was to walk in an act like a concerned parent, surely he'd stop if he realised there were people around.

The woman carefully opened the door, she gasped as she realised it was much worse than just shouting. Siobhan was on the floor attempting to hold back tears as Roger attacked her, he looked like he was about to set aflame as he punched her, no mercy behind those eyes. Nothing but pure hatred.

Roger didn't hear the door open, he only looked up as he realised Siobhan's pale face as she stared at Vivian.

"What the fuck." Vivian whispered.

Roger scrambled to stand up. He grabbed Siobhan's wrist and dragged her away without a word, she could do nothing but plead to Vivian with her eyes, tears still streaming down her cheeks.

"I'll find a way to help you Bon Bon.. Im so sorry." Vivian mouthed to the sobbing woman. She needed to find a way to help her, and quickly.

Charlotte smiled warmly at Vivian, despite having to stay behind at work for an extra 5 minutes she didn't have a hint of anger in her voice as she handed back Jamie and waved goodbye to Vivian. She could sense something was wrong but at the same time Viv just looked lost in thought, so she didn't think much of it.

Vivian got home and as soon as Jamie was asleep she got to work. She needed to find a way to contact Siobhan and get some time alone with her to find any ways of getting Roger away from her. But for now, she just needed to reach out and let Siobhan know she wasn't going to just leave her in the hands of that old prick.

Vivian knew that on Monday Siobhan would be back at the nursery as Autumn would still be on sick leave and needed replacement. After a while of going back and forth she figured out a plan.

The next Monday Siobhan happily sat at Autumns desk. She was worried about Vivian seeing as Roger knew she'd seen him but  nothing had happened over the weekend and she saw Viv's car in the parking lot as she came in, plus she got a whole day away from Roger and actually had a reasonable excuse and proof to back her up, even if she had to send him a new photo of herself every half hour to prove to her Fiancé she was still in the nursery.

Siobhan knew very well that Vivian would try to help her, but she had no genuine optimism that it would work. That was until she opened Autumn's computer to check any work emails and saw one from Vivian at the top.

'Hey Bon Bon, I know that you're not gonna want to risk co-operating with me but I have a plan. I sent you a fully formal 'work email' requesting a meeting with you (by name) so you can show it to Roger as proof that you have a meeting after the nursery closes tonight. Please meet me at the coffee shop down the road from my house tonight so we can talk in person.'

Siobhan almost teared up just reading the email, she had a glimmer of hope seeing how determined Viv was to help her, maybe she could finally try and escape from Roger safely..
