Ellie's pov
Me and dad were sitting on the floor, backs to the wall, knees up to our stomachs. 

"Ellie please tell me whats happened" Dad asked me, I just stayed quiet. 

He went to go touch my hand but I pulled it away. Joel came over to me "Ellie, if you don't tell us we can't help you" he came and crouched down next to us 

"I-I can't, it's too late" I croaked out

"It's not. You can still tell us" Joel said 

"I'm going to be sick-" I say while running to the toilet, dad held my hair back as I threw up.

Warrens pov
I looked at Joel, we were both seriously worried, once Ellie had stopped throwing up she went into the shower, me and Joel went into the kitchen to speak. 

"Maybe something happened with Prince or Hunter? 

"No it's something more than that. I've seen her countless times coming home after a boy did something, and that's nothing compared to this."

"Shane?" Joel asked

"No, Shane's gone"

  "Gone?"

  "I'll explain later, look Sienna is about to give birth I need to get to the hospital are you able to look after her?

"Of course, good luck"

Ellie's pov
I stepped out of the shower. I still felt dirty, horrible. I got dried and dressed and slowly opened the door, I opened it Joel were just stood there looking at me. 

I broke the silence, "I'm sorry"

"About what"

I sighed and sat down at the kitchen counter, "I will tell you what happened, but I just- I don't think I'm ready yet, I don't know if I can accept it myself yet" I said 

"Me or dad are always going to be here for you okay? so when you're ready, and there is no rush, you can talk to us, about anything"

The next day
I hadn't slept. The past few hours have just been replaying in my mind. It was 8am. Dad and Joel were still asleep. I left the apartment. I took one step out and the world just seemed different. Dark.

I headed towards the dog in the pond, hoping to just people watch. I walked into the bar and Buster was behind it. 

"Hello sweetie" he said to me 

I started to walk out of the bar but his voice stopped me, "Hey why don't you sit down" he said as he walked closer to me and softly grabbed my shoulders "Come and have a drink"

I slowly made my way towards the bar, from the corner of my eye I could see Brody, eyeing us carefully. Him and Damon soon came over to us, sitting down at the bar too.

"Hiya El" Damon said to me and I formed a small smile on my face as a reply

"You okay?" he asked me 

"She's hungover, I caught her drinking in the folly last night" Buster chuckled "takes me back to the first time I caught Damon drunk" 

"Damon do you have the keys to the garage by any chance?" I asked, wanting to get out and have some space from people

"Yeah I do, your dad dropped them round earlier" he said as he dug the keys out of his pocket and softly put them in my hands.

"Thank you" I say as I quickly run out of the dog and start to make my way to the empty garage. 

I enter the garage and just cry, showing over tools left, right and centre, I needed to let my emotions out, how can he act like everything is normal?

I hear the door open and I turn to see Brody standing in the doorway, I quickly wipe away my tears hoping he didn't see me upset. 

"What did he do?" he asked me

"What?"

"Buster"

"I don't have time for this I nee-"

"He did it to me to you know, groomed me. It happened often, after football matches, he said he would make me feel special if I got man of the match. I went along with it, I was a confused kid, I didn't know what was happening, I had no one around me...but El" he said as he started to walk closer to me, tears falling down his face "you have people here, I'm here okay? talk to me, what happened?" 

"H-he" I tried to force the words out of my mouth but the would escape, I groaned in frustration and turned away from Brody

"That's always the hardest bit, accepting and saying what happened, I mean look its taken me years, I know it's hard, so so hard and right now I'm asking the most of you that I can ever ask, but you can't bottle it up, you can trust me okay? the first stage is accepting"

"I don't want to accept it" I cry out, tears running down my face

"I know, I know" he said softly

"Brody" I cry out, scared to speak

"I'm here, talk to me"

"H-he r-raped me" I say silently, I see Brody's face harden in anger, I start crying more but he makes his way towards me, pulling me in softly for a hug, I cry into his chest.

"It's okay, I'm here it's okay"

-

"He told me he was taking me home, to dad and Joel b-but then....h-he took me to his house and layed me down on the s-sofa, I was slightly passing out from the alcohol and I could feel him tugging at my shirt, trying to undo it. I-I t-tried to fight away, so much, I said no so many times I promise Brody"

"I know you did, I know" he said as he pulled me into his chest once more "I know"

"Have you told your dad? and Joel?" 

I shook my head, "I couldn't...I j-just couldn't" 

"Hey, that's okay"

"N-no after everything I've put them through, they deserve to know"

-

I sprint to the hospital, I knew dad was there because the twins had been born today. I enter the hospital room and see dad with the two newborns, he sees me enter and turns his whole body to me while holding the girl in his arms

"Meet your brother and sister" he said with a smile on his face

A few hours had passed and I once again made my way to the hospital as I had left earlier to clean myself up. As I walk to the front doors I see dad in his car and Joel standing talking to dad through the window. I walk up to the car with a confused look on my face.

"What's happening?"

"Look El...I need to leave the village....Sienna, I kidnapped her and she's called the police"

"You did what?"

"I'm sorry"

"Wait, you can't leave...look I need to tell you what happened"

"Can it wait? can you give me a phone call later?"

My head drops in sadness, "I'm so sorry I have to leave, I absolutely promise you that it won't be long till I come back okay? You're my little girl, my angel and I really don't deserve you...that's exactly why I have to leave, I need to make sure you're safe and that you don't get dragged down because of my mistakes. I love you forever okay?"

"I love you infinity"

He smiles and waves at me one last time as he drives away in his car, with Sophie in the back.

Joel places his hands on my shoulders

"Just me and you now sis"
