I open my eyes and realize its morning - Dylan is still asleep so I get out of bed and head upstairs to check on Ella and it didn't surprise me when i saw Kale sleeping outside of her door. I step over him open the door and go in. Yeah Kale you're being such a good guard.... I stepped right over you! Ella is laying in bed.
"Did you get any sleep?" I ask her
"No, was that Kale outside my door?"
"It looks like his been there all night."
"I don't know what to do Si?"
"I feel like I should give him another chance cuz we've only been seeing each other for a few days but then in other ways did he show me who he really is?"
"I can tell you one thing" i smile "His really sorry."
"After last night I've just wanted to go up and hug him but I just don't know"
"Follow your heart honey"
"My heart tells me to give him another chance."
"Then do that."
"I just don't know."
"Your heart is telling you what you need to hear - stop listening to your head. His slept outside your door all night - he cares about you!"
"Okay one more time" she says
"Should i tell him to come in?"
"Okay" i open the door and kick Kale.
"What?" he murmurs
"Ella wants to see you."
"Really?"
"Yep go in there."

I wonder if last night didn't happen if Ella would be giving Kale another chance. Oh well she is and at least that look of sadness might lift a little. I go into Dylan's bedroom and get some clothes out to have a shower.
"Where have you been?" Dylan smiles at me
"Just fixing relationships" I smile "I was thinking we should plan something nice for them for tonight."
"Like what?"
"We'll book a table and buy Ella a nice dress."
"Sounds good" Dylan replies "I'll organize the table and you go get ready and we'll go shopping."
"Okay" with that I go and jump in the shower and then get out and get dressed.
Dylan goes up and tells them where going out when he comes out he turns to me and smiles I walk up to him wrap my arms around his waist and kiss him. I swear a few weeks ago if I had've done that and felt a gun lodged in the waist band of a guys pants I would have freaked out - but now it feels normal. The two of us head off to the shops I find a beautiful dress for Ella and of course get her matching shoes and a bag. The shopping trip goes off without a hitch and we get home in one piece. I notice Ella is downstairs smoking out on the balcony with Kale so I sneak upstairs and lay the outfit out for Ella. We all sit on the balcony and talk and when I see it's 5:30 I turn to Ella.
"You better go and get ready." I smile
"For what?" she replies clearly confused
"Si and I have organized you two a night out so go and get ready." Dylan tells him
"You'll have to pick me out something to wear."
"I already have it's on your bed."
Ella rushes upstairs.
"Thanks you two" says Kale "and thanks for helping for her to decide to give me another chance."
"Go and get dressed." I tell him
Dylan tells Kale to go and get ready in his room and bathroom and wear anything he wants out of his wardrobe.

They look so cute when they head out Ella's black hair and blue eyes look amazing with her electric blue dress and black accessories. Kale didn't scrub up too bad either. One thing that I'm glad about is that Dylan and I have the entire place to ourselves.
"Do you want to get room service and watch movies?" he asks
"That sounds fantastic." I smile "I'm starving."
"What do you want" Dylan asks as i flick through the menu
"Oysters" I smile "and the salmon, a jug of margarita and the chocolate tasting plate!"
"Finished?" he laughs "When you said you where hungry I didn't think you where that hungry."
I knew it sounded like a lot however after the last few days I've become starving or it could be the fact that I haven't eaten all day. We cuddle on the couch and wait for dinner. When Dylan hears the elevator he approaches it with his hand on his waist band just in case. He enters the code and our room service is bought into our room.
"Thanks" says Dylan says and hands the guy a tip.
We sit on the couch and watch movies and eat, It's amazing just spending time with each other without anybody else around it takes me back to our road trip. Having one on one time with Dylan is amazing.

We have an amazingly quiet night and it feels great - I know it wasn't long ago but quite nights felt like they ended years ago. After our movie we decide to go to bed. Yep an early night sounds perfect. We have a shower together and get into bed - Dylan takes me in his arms and holds me, he kisses me and pull me on top of him. It'd nice just being the two of us and not getting disturbed. After we've had a bit of 'fun' Dylan pulls me into him and I fall asleep in his arms. I wake up and the sun is out it's amazing. Dylan's not in bed but i lay here to wake up properly.
Dylan walks in pushing a room service cart. "Good your awake." he smiles
We sit in bed and have breakfast together, Dylan has also ordered champagne as well. It feels so good.
"Did Kale and Ella come home safe last night?"
"Yeah. Ella was downstairs getting water she looked like she was enjoying herself."
"Good" I smile sipping more champagne
I never wanted this to end, a drama free few hours feels amazing. We spend most of the day in bed. I get one of the robes in the wardrobe and put it on.
"My fingers hurting" I reply "I'm going to have a joint."
He smiles and waves for me to come over and then I lean down and kiss him. I get out and see Ella sitting there.
"How was your night?"
"Fantastic" she smiles "You look like you've had a good night/day"
"I have had an amazing time," I smile
I sit with Ella and get high the pain slowly drains from my finger. I eventually go back into Dylan's room and snuggle into him.

--

The Last few days have been quiet - we've spent the days relaxing and getting over the few drama packed days we have recently had. I knew this is a false reality and this stage but I'm hoping that one day so it will be like this without knowing that at any moment it could end. The boys still are waiting to do a revenge attack for Joe but Dylan is adamant about waiting. Both Ella and I had decided to defer our courses we knew if we didn't Dylan and Kale would be sitting in our classes and let's be honest - they wouldn't fit into a fashion class - that's for sure. I had also quit my job I couldn't risk putting innocent people at risk and I knew it was better to quit than to get fired and because of this we'd decided to pack our apartment up and move into Dylan's permanently they where all huge moves but they seemed to be something that needed to be done. I felt sad giving up the apartment we had so many good memories there but it had to be done it was time to switch lifestyles - I didn't want to but I couldn't loose Dylan, that was the last thing I wanted.

We head over to the apartment to start boxing it up and when I open the door I realize something isn't right - it's trashed.
"They've been here too." I roll my eyes "can they not just fuck off for a while."
We pack everything we are keeping into boxes and throw a lot of stuff I'm the bin - it took us so long to get it all done. By the end of the day it was finished it was fully furnished to start with so all we needed was to pack our personal belongings and clean up the mess left by the fucking scorpions. It felt weird going back to Dylan's and unpacking our things. I did my clothes and put my other boxes on the storage under the stairs.
"What about your other stuff?"
"It's your place Dylan" I reply "I don't want to have my shit everywhere."
"You live here now beautiful you can do whatever you like."
"No it's fine."
"Well if you change you mind you can do whatever you want."
The last thing I wanted to do was take over Dylan's place with all my stuff he didn't ask me to move in because he wanted to he asked me to move in because of what his life had done to my entire world. I doubt this would feel like home anytime soon - it's Dylan's place and that's just how it is. The next few days mimicked how I felt I was withdrawn, sad and kept to myself. Nobody said anything it was like they didn't notice - I think they thought that everything that had happened recently had started to affect me - it had, don't get me wrong but this was more than that I didn't feel like I belonged anywhere anymore - school, my job and my apartment vanished before my eyes - yes I'd made a choice but it was one I was starting to regret. Id done this all for a guy I hardly knew - well I felt like I knew him more than anything but let's be real it had only been a few weeks - a few insane over the top weeks.

I woke up one morning and got dressed I needed to get out of here - whether I was allowed or not I was past caring. Dylan was asleep and all that came from the rest of the house was silence. I got into the elevator pulled Dylan's hoodie over my head - remember when I said I wouldn't start dressing like gangsta's girlfriends out of the movies - well I had. I walk past security - yeah these guys where on the ball... Not. I got into a taxi and headed to the shops - I just couldn't take it anymore I needed space. I got out and went in - my first stop? The hair dresses! I got my hair done my brown hair was now black with bright purple ends - then I proceeded to get my nails done. By the time I left the salon I felt better a little anyway. My phone had been buzzing non stop but I didn't care. Next stop on my list was shopping - I needed new clothes ones that would mimic the life style I was living I bought jeans, hoodies and singlets I even bought skate shoes. I can feel my phone vibrating so I decide this time I would at least see who the hell it is. Ella's number flashed on my screen - so I decide to answer it.
"Yep." I say
"Si, where are you? Are you okay? We are so worried please say your okay."
"I'm fine" I reply "Ella I just needed to get out of there."
"You know it's not safe."
"I don't care anymore Ella."
"Si where the fuck are you?" This time it wasn't Ella that replied it was Dylan.
"I needed space."
"Please come back."
"Soon I promise." I say hanging up the phone.

-Dylan's POV-


"We've got to go find her." I snap
"Just leave her - you know she hasn't been herself the last few days." Kale replies
"Don't fucking speak to me Kale if your going to be like that."
"Just be honest this life has ruined both the girls you know that."
"Seriously shut the fuck up." I yell knowing what his saying is true but not wanting to believe it.
Sienna had been so different the last few days - I can see that - this life has changed her in a huge way - and every inch of it was my fault. I walk back inside not having a clue what to do I was angry - not at Sienna at everything else. The hours tick by and all I can do is pace around the apartment. I grab my keys off the bench and head to the elevator I've gotta go and find her I can't just sit here and do nothing.
"Dylan wait." Ella says running towards me
"Don't try to stop me Ella." I hiss
"I'm coming with you."
We head to my car and get in.
"Where could she be?" I ask Ella
"I'd say the shops but they'd be closed by now."
"Well aren't you a big fucking help."
"Dylan seriously calm the fuck down - I'm just as worried as you, we will find her!"
We drive around everywhere but can't find her.
Ella rings her and rings her and gets nothing - we keep driving still nothing - where the hell has she gone? I don't think I've ever been this worried before. We think we see her a few times but it's not her, I'm panicking - panicking they have got her. Every time Sienna's phone rings out she calls again we are not going back until we find her - that's a promise.
"Si!" I hear Ella say "where are you?" "Dylan's a mess - we all are." "Please let us come and get you." "Your where?" "Okay" "We'll be there soon."
Ella hangs up the phone and looks at me. "She's at the beach." We head down there.

We arrive at the beach and Ella tells me Sienna asked her to get me to wait in the car. So I do I know if I go down there now I'll yell at her and I really don't want too. I sit and wait and wait and before long Ella comes back with someone that doesn't look like Sienna anymore she was different - wearing my hoodie, jeans and skate shoes instead of the sundresses and sandals the hood covered her now black and purple hair and her normal smile wasn't there anymore. Sienna was gone - I could tell. She gets into the front seat and glares at me.
"Don't start." She snaps
"I wasn't going to" I say "I've just been worried about you."
We drive back to the hotel in silence. Awkward silence. We get out of the car and she won't walk with me or speak to me. I've changed her and fuck I hate myself for it. As soon as we walk inside she walks outside on to the balcony - it took every part of me not to follow her I didn't want to make this worse. I hated that she wasn't talking to me but I was just glad she was safe - that was all that mattered right now. Kale and Ella decided to go for a drive and give us some space - i think the last thing Sienna wanted was to be left alone with me so I went up to my office and did some stuff on the computer for work.
"Dylan" I hear Sienna say at the door.
"Yeah?"
"Can I come in?"
"Of course." I reply
Sienna walks in and comes up behind me sliding her hands down my front and kisses me on the cheek.
"I'm sorry."
"Don't be sorry, I've put you into this position."

Sienna was so different now - yes she was still deep down the girl I met but she now had a side to her that wasn't her - it was something that I had created. I love her more than anything and I had done this I don't know how I would fix it I couldn't give up the life I was born into but I don't want this life for her either. After she'd left my office she'd gone back downstairs I went down there to find her and she was in our room laying on the bed - I noticed she'd put a photo of her mum, dad, brother and herself on her bedside table - it was the first thing she'd put out of her personal possessions - the very first thing. I lay on the bed with her and take her in my arms and she cuddles into me.
"Nice hair." I smirk at her
"Shut up" she laughs "I needed something different."
"It's different alright."
We lay there for ages not saying anything and just in each others arms. It feels amazing. I honestly didn't think we'd be like this again anytime soon - I hoped for it but I didn't think it would happen - that's for sure. Sienna eventually drifts off to sleep and I do soon after. When we wake up its morning we are still both fully dressed and laying where we were when we fell asleep. I'm still holding her and I lay like that until she wakes up.
"Is it morning already?" She asks
"Sure is" I reply
