Chapter Eighteen

**Riley’s POV**

I have been in Port Macdonnell for three weeks, I miss everyone but this is what I need. I have this amazing two bedroom cottage which I have been decorating; its perfect. It is close to the beach and both my jobs. I am working as a barmaid part time and I got the tattoo apprenticeship. Bill and his wife Sally have been incredible to me; Bill and Sally own the pub, the tattoo shop and the cottage. Bill runs the tattoo shop while Sally runs the pub. I look different now too so I am not that easy to recognise; my hair is short – just above my shoulders – and it’s an auburn colour. I also added another tattoo to my collection, I got a cross with ‘Fazzolari’ on the back of my neck at the top of my spine, I guess it means I always have my family with me.

I know my family are looking for me, even though I told them not too. The boys have even asked their fans. I’ve seen the tweets…

@luke_brooks: @RileyBrks please let us know where you are!

@Brooks_Beau: @RileyBrks Riley I read your letter but please just let us know your safe. Love you.

@JaiBrooks1: Everything will be ok @RileyBrks Ring me when you read this or text me please

@mamma_g1: bbe gurl please call me. I know why @RileyBrks

@danielsahyounie: @RileyBrks wherever you are just let us know. I can come pick you up. Its time to come home

@James_Yammouni: please let someone know where you are @RileyBrks Everyone’s going crazy

@JaiBrooks1: If you have seen @RileyBrks please let me know #whereisriley

@luke_brooks: if anyone has seen @RileyBrks let us know #whereisriley

@Brooks_Beau: @RileyBrks if you’ve seen her please tell us #whereisriley

I honestly feel so bad knowing that I have hurt my family but I didn’t know what else to do, I had to leave, I couldn’t stay. I just couldn’t.

**Beau’s POV**

It’s been three weeks since Riley left. I still can’t believe she left. I know one day she will be back, she has too. I miss her so much.

**Jai’s POV**

There’s an emptiness without Riley. I just want to know that she is ok. I miss her so much, we all do.

**Luke’s POV**

I hate this. I hate that Riley is gone. I just want her to come home, I miss her.

**James’ POV**

Riley being gone sucks. Everyone misses her like crazy especially us boys.

**Daniel’s POV**

I miss Riley like crazy. I know we agreed to forget about that night at the beach, but truth is I couldn’t forget. I just want her to come home, I just want her in my arms again.
