Swap!! Bella's hand went landing a slap on Leo's left cheek.
"Don't you ever insult me in your life again" she hissed and walked briskly away. When she knew she was out of Leo's sight, her pace reduced and the tears that was already stinging her eyes fell free until she squatted and put her head on her knees. After a while, she walked to the car and Dom drove. "Bell, what's wrong?"
"Nothing"
"You don't just cry because of 'nothing' you know that, right? Is it that boy....what's his name... yeah Leo?"
"No, Dom...."
"It's him, isn't it?"
She sighed, "I'm just crying because.....because my friend is sick"
"which friend?"
"just a friend!! Can you just drive i'm really not in the mood to talk!" she snapped and the car was perfectly quiet till she got home.

"Charles, you are so cool!" Mandy said as he smirked.
"I did what you told me to, so are we going on a date?"
"Totally!" Lisa said and smiled wickedly. Her plan worked! If she can't date Leo then no one can!
Irene watched her sister with guilt for what they did to poor Bella.

Leo walked into his room with the brown envelope the mail boy gave him. Opening the package, he saw pictures of Bella and Charles together.... happy together..... like they've known each other for a long time. He threw the pictures in anger.
The boyz sighed as they heard noises from Leo's room.
"It's being long since i last saw Leo so affected by something" Dave said quietly.
"I don't think Bella is someone who can do this.... There's a misunderstanding somewhere..." Harry said.
"He still hasn't learn to trust yet" Austin added.
Leo walked out of the room with bloodshot eyes and grabbed his car key from the table.
"I'm going for a ride" he mumbled.
"There is no freaking way i'm letting you go on a drive in that state!" Harry said and made for the door but was too late. Leo drove his car out leaving the boyz cursing at what a coward he is. He didn't return that night and the next day, his phone was switched off and the boyz began to worry when he was still unreachable by weekend.
"Are you sure he was not involved in an accident" Austin asked worriedly.
"I don't think so, we would have gotten informed already" Harry shook his head trying to think of where Leo might be. Certainly, not his family house.. they already checked there...still locked as it was since the day Leo's adoptive parents died.

**
In the dim light the half moon gave, Leo walked sluggishly that anyone who saw would easily mistake him for a drunkard. He dialled number one........
"Hello......." a thick male voice answered.
Silence
"who is this?" the voice asked
Leo hissed angrily and cut the line.....woaw!! Bella sure knows how to be a player.. He thought
Bella entered the room, her hair wet and face puffy from crying in her star wars pyjamas and soft bunny slippon...
"Dom, who was it" she said as she tied her hair into ponytail.
"the caller didn't talk" he responded handing the phone to her.
"it's Leo" she dialled back but the line was already switched off.
Dom had come to ask her if she was alright. Since he didn't know whose house she went to, she said her new friend who she had a fight with was sick so she was feeling guilty. He didn't believe her but he sighed and said okay.

**
The boyz were going from place to place looking for where Leo might be.
"Ahah!" Austin exclaimed and the frustrated two other boys looked at him with hope.
"the last time Leo went this crazy was when his parents died.... " he said.
"and what is your point?" dave rolled his eyes.
"my point is...where we found him" the boys nodded as they rushed into Harry's ash four wheel drive, Honda and drove out.
The boyz alighted from the car looking at the building facing them- on the roof a multi colour poster with children's handprint saying: Welcome to Ave maria Orphanage Home.
They walked briskly to the reception.
"welcome sirs" Linda, the girl at the reception stand said, smiling brightly and directing them in.... since, they are often visitors she led them straight into the home.
"This is peter pan and err! I'm captain hook.... um.. sian"
"huh?"
"you be tinker bell"
"really?? thanks Leo...i love tinker bell" the small girl with sandy blonde hair packed in pigtail and dancing green eyes said smiling.
Leo noticed the shadow and turned to face the boyz.
"Leo, we need to talk" Harry said in a commanding tone.
"Later" he answered nodding as he turned to the children who were now running to hug the boyz.
"austin"
"yes, beautiful Angel"
"Leo stay with us and tell us stowee"
"which stories? Is it as interesting as mine"
"Peter pan and captain hook and... and lion and the rat"
"it's mouse, angel not rat" he corrected the giggling child.
"Hally... hally"
"yes, sweetie"
"i bloke my nail.."
"aww.. how?"
"Steve dlop the table on ma hand when i cally my book from the floor"
"steve, don't do that to my sweet rose again, ok?" harry warned.
"it's not my fault!! the table was heavy!!" the little boy protested.
The children gathered and sat on their seat as Leo continued the story of peter pan after which he switched on the TV so they can watch cartoon.
He faced his friends and they walked silently outside.
"long time, no see" Dave started punching his shoulder.
"how did you get your clothes" harry asked a bit surprised.
Leo shrugged, "i came to the house on tuesday to take my clothes"
"i was right!! I knew someone entered the house...but i was feeling too lazy to go check" austin admitted.
"when are you not sleeping" Harry said rolling his eyes.
"huh! What do you take me for?"
"sleeping beauty!"
"what!!" he said and punched Harry in the stomach. And both started laughing competing to be the last to hit the other.
"Guys, let's get back to why we are here" dave said raising a hand.
"okay, Leo seriously!! I'm disappointed in you! just when do you see a guy shy away from his problems.. He mans up and faces them!!" Austin said.
"i was planning on coming back today... I was just taking time off to cool" Leo smiled timidly..." i just love coming here, the children bring back my memories of when i was here... and... Aimee" he turned and waved at shy Sian who waved back smiling and showing her open teeth.
"Come on, let's go home"
"You guys, go ahead...i'll come join you at home... I have some things to take care of first"
"alright" the boyz waved the children and rode home.
"ah! I just remembered!.... I'll just tell Leo when he comes back" Harry said more to himself.
Leo went back in hugged the children goodbye, went to Mrs Collins office to say goodbye but she was attending to another visitor so he went to pack his bag and put it in his black sedan car. He got to the car and as he drove a girl running got in his way.
Bam! The car hit her.
