"Where is he?!?" Sienna said as she came running through the front door of our flat, standing in front of me and Joel, tears falling down her face at a rapid rate.

"We don't know"

"You're lying, of course you must know where he is"

I start to walk closer to Sienna "Look, it's absolutely tearing me and Joel apart that he's not here, we want him to be back just as much as you okay? I promise you we have zero idea where he is. I'm ashamed of him for taking the twins, for leaving you without them and for taking you in the first place...gosh Sienna I am so sorry" after my speech to Sienna I see Brody run in, scared that Sienna had started a war.

"It's not your fault okay? I-I just really want them back" she says to me as she engulfs me in a hug

"Who would've thought us of all people would be friends right now" I say as I chuckle into Sienna's shoulder, hearing Brody and Joel chuckle also

- 

I was sat down at one of the tables outside the dog, receiving another rejected job email. I groan as I lightly chuck my phone on the table in front of me. I see someone sit down opposite in front of me and look up to see Brody with a smile on his face.

"What's up" he says as he passes me back my phone 

"I keep getting rejected job offers over and over, you know now dad's gone me and Joel have to provide for ourselves"

"Come and work on the boat"

"No, I can't let you just give me a job"

"Yes you can, and I'm not taking no as an answer" he says as he softly pulls me up from my chair and guides me towards the boat

"Brody I swear" I say as I turn around and look at him with a stern look

"Don't look at me like that, here have a trial day and see how things go, if you then don't want the job and want to throw a whole glass of orange juice in my face you can"

"That's a deal" I say with a smile on my face as we both enter the boat. 

"Ahh there you are, was wondering where you got to" Damon said to Brody "Little fox, how are you doing" he said with a warm smile on his face

"I'm good, yeah I'm good" I say as I look to Brody with a smile

"I offered her a job, she's having a trial day today" he said to Damon

"Perfect, we needed another slave around here"

"I am not a slave I'll have you know" I say sarcastically as I make my way towards the counter of the boat

"See" Damon said "She's a natural already" he said with a smile on his face.

-

"And here are two smoothies, without the yogurt" I say as I hand Scott the two cups

"Thank's cutie, the yogurt makes my stomach explode" he says to me as he gives me a smile and hands me the money, I put the money in the till and look up when the door to the boat opens. It was Damon and Buster.

"Hey El" Damon says to me as him and Buster approach me, "How's the trial day" he continues to ask me

"Fine" I say with a forced smile

I see Damon pull his phone out as he recieves a text from someone, "Ugh give me five minutes, I need to help Brody with the roof" he said as he walked out, leaving me and Buster.

"Strawberry and Mango smoothie" he told me

Straight away I started working on the drink, my back was turned to him but I could feel his stare on me. 

"It was fun the other night" he says to me as I remain silent, however I feel him approach me more. My whole body starts to tense up as memories from that night come flooding back. He forcefully touches me arm and his head approaches my ear.

"Let me remind you that if anyone finds out about what happened I will ruin you and your entire family. I know where your dad is...one phone call and he's arrested" he says into my ear, soon after he lets go and once again sits back where he was.

I walk over to him with his drink in my hand, "Here's your drink" I say to him as I pour the drink all over his head and body

"What the hell?!?" he shouts and stands up just as I run out of the boat. As soon as I open the door I am met with with Brody and Damon

"El?" Brody asks me as he softly grabs my arm and sees the tears on my face.

"Leave me alone" I say as I grab my arm back and run away towards the dog car park

-

"El...wait! Ellie!" I hear Brody call my name as he finally catches up to me and tugs on my arm, turning me around in order for us to be facing each other

"Screw your job okay? I'm fine leave me alone"

"You're clearly not okay" he says as his face softens

"Look I'm grateful for everything you've done for me but I don't need your help okay? any of it" I say as I push away from him

 "What happened back there?" he questions me 

"Nothing"

"Ellie"

I hesitated, deciding whether to tell Brody or not, I shake my head and look down to the floor "He threatened me okay? he told me not to tell anyone anything otherwise he can hurt me and get dad arrested...I can't risk that, he's got the twins now...I-I look I'm sorry I did that and I reacted that way but I was just scared" After I tell him I see his jaw tense up

"He's not going to do anything, look I need to tell you something and you promise you won't go crazy?"

"What is it"

"Things have changed now...we can get him"

"You're not making any sense Brody"

He sighed and hesitated, I could see how scared he was, how tense he was.

"It's about Ollie"
