"Let's hurry Tori, it's almost eight o'clock and it's going to start," I tell Tori and I try to pull her hands.

"Yes, yes, I'm coming," Tori laughs and I pull her from the car to the door. I wait beside her as she puts her key in and when she pushes it open I run inside.

"Oli, turn on the lights in the living room and kitchen before turning on the television, I left the lamps in the living room on so make sure to turn those off," Tori tells me.

"Okay!" I go inside to turn off the lights and turn on the lights in the living room but when the lights come on there are four strangers sitting in chairs. Who is this stranger? Why is he in our house?

"Don't say anything please kid. Come stand here beside me," the man in the middle smiles. I slowly walk to him and wait for Tori. Maybe she knows the stranger. When Tori comes, she looks upset and they're both talking, I don't understand what they're saying. Why is he talking to Tori? Why can't I stand beside Tori?

I watch the bad man tell Tori to turn around and he looks at her back, what's that funny writing on her back? It's weird. I start crying when the stranger starts getting angry, he's scary. Tori takes my hand and we all go outside into a car and we leave the house, her arm wraps around my shoulder and hugs me, it's quiet.

"Oli, sweetie, focus on me." I lift my head to look at Tori and see we're outside Aunt Charlotte's house. Why are we here again? "Listen to me very carefully. I'm dropping you off at your Aunt's house for a sleepover," she tells me and the car door opens, a hand pulls me out.

"Tori, Tori don't go!" I yell and she puts a hand on my cheeks, looking at me.

"Go knock on the door Oli," she tells me and I go out, look back at Tori but the man at the front has a scary face, I don't like his face. I hear Tori say tell Uncle she's sorry but why is she sorry? I run to the door and ring the bell waiting for Aunt Charlotte.

I wake up to knocking on the door or actually Wren wakes me up telling me someone is knocking at the door. I glance at the time on my phone and see it's almost nine and I wasn't dreaming when I heard sounds coming from downstairs.

"Mommy, is it Jax?" Wren asks me as he follows me down the stairs.

"I don't know, maybe though your brother should have his keys to the house," I answer as I flick on the entryway lights. I tug on the sweater I stole from Jax a while back and I just hope that something hasn't happened to Jax while he's on the job right now.

From what he told me, It doesn't sound too good in the downtown part of the city and he would most likely reach home late tonight. I look through the spy hole but don't see anyone, only the empty and dark streets. I feel a little uneasy but maybe it was nothing.

"C'mon Wren, no one is here so let's go back to-" The doorbell rings again. Okay, Wren wasn't imagining it and it seems neither was I. I open the door and the first thing I hear is sniffles coming from below me. I look down and see Oli standing in front of me, tears streaming down his face and my eyes widen in alarm as I drop to my knees.

"Oli? Sweetheart, look at me," I tell him as I turn his face towards mine. There are so many questions running in my head. Why is Oli here right now and how did he get here? Is he hurt? Where is Victoria? For now I have to get him inside, I don't know how long he's been outside and he's dressed in the same clothes he was wearing yesterday.
