Ollie had only been home a few hours when he got the text,

"He's gone."

He paused as he felt the world collapse around him, he was friends with Digby but he felt is heart break as he thought of Zosia. She was fragile as she was with Jac punishing her but he knew, he knew this was going to have a detrimental effect on her.

Without thinking, he grabbed his coat and keys and ran out the door. As he was driving he checked his phone, it was another text - but from Jac.

"She just found out, I need help."

Ollie didn't reply but only picked up his speed, as the lights blurred, he felt his heart drop even more.

"Please don't do anything Zosh, please." He whispered to himself.

As he arrived at the hospital, there was eeriness, Arthur had touched so many lives in his short time, but no more so then Zosia and Dom. The trio. Arriving on Darwin, Ollie found Jac in the nurses station.

"She's Locked herself in the staff room. I can't get her out. I didn't want to get Dom. Look I know I've been hard on her, but this is something else. I've never seen her Like this."

Ollie just nodded, a small saddened smiling filling his face. He then shifted his body and began to head to the staff room, as he approached, he heard muffled sobs. Zosia.

He knew that crying, the crying where your whole body felt like it was falling apart. Crying that you felt would never stop. He had felt that with Tara and Penny, it was grief filling her heart.

"Zosh." He gently knocked. No reply, but the gentle click of the lock signalled that he was needed, as the door opened, he found a small figure crouched behind the door.

"Ollie." She sobbed, he immediately dropped to his knees and embraced her, Zosia buried her head in his chest and sobbed harder.

"It's okay I'm here now, I'm here." He said as he held her tightly in his arms.

No matter what had happened between them it didn't matter anymore, they needed each other more then ever, but deep down Ollie knew he was going to have to fight for Zosia. She wasn't going to let him in so easily, but that was just one reason why he loved her.
