Felix.

He was looking and he-he found her. Felix found Esme.

Felix.

Now she's in hospital. Because of me. It's my fault, he came for me. He bought trouble and dragged Esme into it. My best friend is lying in a hospital bed because of me.

Felix.

But he tried to help her, right? Maybe he's changed. He tried. But he was trying to find me. It's all my fault. She's here because of me.

Felix.

He is trying to find me. He's going to hurt me. Again. I can't let him. Beau won't let him. Felix won't let me go. He'll never let me go.

Felix.

Dad.

"What the fuck?" Beau shouts as he catches my body, saving me from plummeting to the ground.

My head feels heavy with thoughts as two strong arms carry me away.

I can't see anything. Nothing at all. They place me down. He's calling my name, but I don't respond. I can't respond.

...

"Ellie?" The voice calls.

I blink rapidly trying to collet my thoughts.

"Are you okay?" All sound is muffled.

I spread my hands out and glide my fingers against the soft sheets.

I'm on a bed. Although my surroundings are blurred, I can almost make out the layout of the room. It looks awfully farmilliar.

"Hey babe, are you okay?"

My eyes slowly come into focus unveiling Beau. The back of his index finger strokes my cheek delicately.

"Beau?" The white light shines through the huge window, illuminating his body, making his presence seem unreal. Am I dreaming?

"Hey, how are you?" He asks but I ignore his question.

My hands reach out to touch his face and my fingers gently rub over the slight stubble on his chin.

"Where am I?" I ask the apparition.

"Where do you think you are?" I try to find traces of sarcasm behind his voice but there are none.

I think back to how I've been here before.

I'm in Beau's house. I remember now. This is the room from the other night. But how and why am I here?

"How did I get here?"

"You passed out at the hospital babe. You wouldn't say anything except 'I don't want to dad'. I figured you wouldn't want to go back to your house, so I bought you here."

The last thing I remember was Esme telling me that Felix was looking for me.

Felix. Also known as Dad.

But they don't know that. Nobody else needs to know, it'll be our little secret. My conscience tells me and I agree with her. If my parents found out that he was back, they would make me move away for sure. Away from Beau.
