The Pain We Feel (ON HOLD)

Part 3

Mercedes looked in the mirror. Her bump was getting bigger. This was her second chance. A new beginning. Time to start over. This baby was the chance to make up for her past mistakes, especially with Bobby. Shania knocked on her bedroom door. "Come in." Mercedes said. "Hey, how you doing?" Shania asked. Mercedes smiled. "I'm doing good." Shania bit her lip. "Are you sure?" Mercedes shook her head. "No.." She sighed. "Me and Joe are having.. Issues." Shania gave Mercedes a hug. "You'll work it out, you always do." Mercedes grinned and hugged Shania back. "Thank you, you always know what to say."

Cleo was sat on the sofa watching something on telly. Pete came and sat opposite her. "How's my special lady doing?" He grinned. Cleo wanted to be sick. She hated this. Pete and his twisted ways. "I'm fine." She said bluntly. Pete edged closer. "What's going on Cleo?" She moved away from him. "Pete. Enough is enough." She cried. "I can't do this anymore. It's wrong." Pete shook his head. "Cleo Cleo." He sighed. "I'm afraid that isn't a choice here. Remember our little deal." Their eyes met and he gave her that look. "Now, you do edsacualy as I say my love." Cleo nodded reluctantly. "Tonight, I've booked a hotel room. You and me shall be going, make up some silly excuse. I expect you at the folly by 7." Cleo silently cried. "Okay." She whispered. He had taken things to another level. It was out of her control entirely. But what could she do about it?

Porsche and Sophie were walking back from the shops. "So what's the plan then?" Porsche asked. "I need to make it look like I'm not leading him on. Otherwise this doesn't work." Sophie paused to think for a moment. "Try and make him comfort you, feel sorry for you." She suggested. Porsche nodded. "that could work!" She said excitedly. "Sophie you're a genius." She added as she pulled sophie into an embrace. "Erm, thanks." Sophie laughed. "Just want Pete to get the karma he deserves."

Cleo made her way to the folly. She didn't know why she was doing this but she knew she had to.

Celine was back in front of the mirror again. She hated the thought of herself, she knew she wasn't perfect... That's why she was trying to do something about it. Her phone buzzed. She sighed deeply. It was Cameron. Why was he so eager to see her. She had a feeling it was for one reason and she wouldn't be doing that anytime soon.

Porsche paced back and forth. She needed to get Pete alone but he was nowhere to be seen.

Nico and Peri were walking around aimlessly, they ended up at the folly. "Hey Cleo, you waiting for someone?" Peri asked. Cleo jumped. "You scared me!" She laughed. "And yeah I am." "Anyone we know." Nico questioned. "It doesn't matter." Cleo said quickly. "Sorry for asking." Nico replied. Cleo sighed. "Sorry, I'm just stressed a lot recently... With school and family stuff." She said before walking off. She wasn't going to let Pete control her anymore.

Sophie knocked on John Paul's bedroom door. "Come in." He called. Sophie entered the room. "Hey!" She smiled. John Paul looked up from his desk. "Hey mini me." He chuckled. Sophie laughed. "I was just wondering if you'd help me out... Porsche's kinda going crazy again." John Paul jumped up quickly. "Oh god!!!" He sighed heavily as he darted for the door.
