How much pain can one person take?

Worry

"It's been a week do you think he has sent her another message?" Zosia asked

"I don't know, but listen, you don't even know if he's in the country and even if he was he doesn't know where I live." Ollie replied trying to reassure her.

"Oh trust me that won't stop him."

"Zosh, just for a minute stop worrying. Julia is fine she has locked herself in mine and she is safe. Okay?"

Zosia sighed "i guess."

Zosia snuggled into his side on the sofa. They were sat in the staff room on Darwin during their break, they had been talking for a while but ended up talking about Julia and the texts.

Zosia was scared she knew what her uncle was capable of and it scared her that he was after her little sister.she also knew that if he was in the country he would stop at nothing to find them.

She also had her dad on her mind, last time something like this happened guy had nearly killed his brother and Zosia knew the English justice system was a lot better than the Polish one, her dad would not just be released the next day if he did something like that and got arrested.

She worried about her uncles actions a lot but she also worried about other people's reactions.

Ollie was also worried. He may not show it but he was. He put on a brave face so he could be there for Zosia and her sister but on the inside, he was scared too.

He loved Zosia and he knew that if something happened to Julia she would blame herself even if it wasn't her fault. He knew Zosia would tear herself apart worrying and he felt like he had to keep her safe.

Also he worried that if Zosia's uncle did come back he may do something to Zosia as well. It had taken Ollie a long time to get over Tara and admit his feeling for Zosia and she really meant the world to him. He couldn't stand the thought of her uncle hurting her. He had to admit that after she told him about what happened when she was younger he knew if he ever met this man he would probably get very angry and like guy would probably release the anger on the man that seemed to bring so much pain.

As well as this he was really growing closer to Julia and she had now been staying at his house for over a month. He really cared about her and he wouldn't admit it to Zosia but she had cried herself to sleep in his arms just a few days ago when she had  a bad dream.

Ollie had spent his life building walls so he wouldn't have to feel strong emotions but here were to people that her would do absolutely anything to protect.
