Oliver rushes Eloise to his room and shuts the door.
Eloise stands staring wide eyed at Oliver trying to understand why he's dragged them to his room
" Eloise please, what will it take for you to move out of that house? I can't stand the thought of ever leaving you there again I will do anything to to get you out "
she looks down at her feet trying to figure out what to say to him
She wants to move out but she's scared
he cups her face with pleading eyes says
" please "
feeling overwhelmed she gets up and runs out the room into her room slamming the door shut.
He follows her out and tries to open the door
" leave me alone " she shouts
he rests his head against the door trying to decide whether to unlock the door or not.
He suddenly rushes out the house and speeds off in his lambo
Eloise is screaming into her pillow not hearing the engine of the car.
I don't know what to do I wish I could speak to you Avery. I wish I could move your room here I wish you never died she says quietly
she hears light knocking on the door and Hannahs voice
" Eloise sweetie it's me. can I come in "
She unlocks the door then opens it to see Hannah looking at her with worried eyes
" are you okay what happened? "
" I'm fine it's fine I just got a little overwhelmed I should go say sorry to Oliver "
" he sped off about 10 minutes ago in his Lamborghini "
Eloises heart sank
she sat on the bed Hannah sat next to her and pulled her head to her chest stroking her hair.
They stayed silent while Hannah just comforts her until Eloise is ready to talk.
Eloise lifts her head and says
" I've messed it up haven't I "
" no sweetie I'm sure he's just gone to give you some space don't worry "
he's run away from you who'd want you
the voice says
She sadly gets up and tries to take her mind off him.
" your father will be back tomorrow your uncle got there this afternoon " Hannah excitedly tells the girls.
" oh it feels like it's been all year I miss him "
Victoria claps her hands at the news
Eloise tries to be happy but she can't take her mind off of Oliver.
why did he disappear so quickly he can't be that mad at me can he?
of course he is you're a real bitch
the voice snaps at her and she shrinks a little.
he's probably going to ask you to leave they'll have no choice but to do it he will always come first
it carries on to say
" excuse me I think I need to lay down "
Eloise got up starting to make her way to her room
" wait, have dinner with us first? "
Victoria says sadly
Eloise thinks for a moment and realises she is actually quite hungry
" okay I'm really tired though so please don't think I'm being rude going to bed after "
Hannah and Victoria smiled
" that's fine just make sure you eat something first " Hannah said smiling.
They sat and enjoyed their dinner, Eloise didn't think much about Oliver through the dinner she put a lot of effort into trying not to.
" I insist you let me wash and clean up after dinner as a thank you "
plastering a happy smile on her face
" you really don't have to sweetie "
Hannah said. She wasn't going to stop her if it might take her mind off things.
" I want to "
Eloise said sweetly clearing the plates from the table.
Everyone helped clear the table, putting all the plates and cutlery next to the sink neatly.
Victoria stubbornly refused to let her do it all alone so she stayed to help her
Hannah was disappointed and annoyed with her brother for walking out like that without explaining anything to anyone and leaving Eloise feeling so upset.
She tried to call him but it just kept ringing.
She tried 4 times more but still no answer.
Gerald called her before she could try again
" hi baby how are you " Gerald says when she answers the phone
" yeah I'm okay thanks can't wait for you to come home tomorrow. How are you? "
" yeah good thank you me too. I'll be home about 9:30 in the morning "
Hannah forgot everything she was just feeling before the phone call
She spent the next hour chatting to her husband.
She usually had limited time talking before he had to go back to caring for his parents so when they could finally talk properly they would take advantage every time.
Victoria wanted to ask about what had happened at her parents house and what happened when they got home with Oliver.
it took all her self control to stop herself knowing it would be best to wait until Eloise was ready to talk.
Victoria made hot chocolates for Eloise, her mum and herself hoping to keep her from going in her room and thinking about Oliver.
She didn't believe she was tired she knew Eloise bottled things up until she burst.
She did that with her life at her parents.
She only called Victoria to talk when she could no longer handle it by herself and even then it was more to rant about it she would never accept help.
Eloise turned around and saw Victoria had made hot chocolates.
She glared at her knowing what she was trying to do but thanked her for it anyway and sat in the living room with them to drink it.
She drunk all the hot chocolate burning her mouth a little trying to get it down as quickly as she could.
Hannah and Victoria stared in disbelief
" are you okay? that was still really hot "
Victoria asked worried
Eloise smiled and just said
" I'm fine just tired "
hoping they would leave her to go to her room
" okay night sweetie we love you "
" love you too "
She felt like crying knowing she was going to have to leave them.
She went through her room and shut the door beginning to pack her things.
she sorted through all the things they had gifted her over the years tucking them under her bed for the night.
She planned to place them on the bed on in the morning after she had stripped the bedding to wash.
She silently cried making sure she had everything so she never had to come back and face them after she had f****d everything up and ruined it all because she couldn't control herself when she was alone with Oliver.
She wrote a note to them all to leave on her bed
I'm sorry. I love you all I didn't mean to f**k things up. I respect you all so much which is why I'm saving you the trouble of having to ask me to leave.
I hope one day you'll all forgive me
Lots Of Love,
Eloise

She struggled to fall asleep but eventually she fell into a restless night's sleep.
That night Hannah saw the figure in her dreams again.
It was running through a terrible thunder storm chasing after someone who she recognised but couldn't figure out who it was.
Then she saw the sword from her first dream and recognised it as the evil boy from her first dream.
He was chasing someone.
Lightening flashed and she saw he was chasing Eloise.
She seemed to be in the box again unable to help or be heard as he quickly gained on her as the figure in the back tries to catch up.
He grabs her hair then similar to as he had in her previous dream he slices her body in two.
Her body parts drops to the floor, they began to fade into black no longer having anything to them anymore, disappearing to look like the black figure he had killed before.
The black figure moves around Hannah can only assumes it's distressed from the way it's waving it's arms around trying to get Eloise to wake up with no success of course.
Hannah wakes up breathlessly again completely terrified that this time her dream had someone she knew in.
what could Eloise possibly have to do with all of this she thinks to herself.
She picks up her mobile phone to call aunt Marie and notices it's 2:30 AM.
She's too terrified to care it's way too late to be calling anyone and gets her aunt's number up.
a tired voice answers
" is everything alright dear "
" no I just had a dream and I'm terrified because Eloise was in it I don't know what to do "
She was getting herself so worked up on the verge on tears
" calm down darling take some deep breaths it's okay we will figure this out and fix it "
Hannah told aunt Marie about her dream while uncontrollably crying at times
Aunt Marie listening carefully she realises that almost every detail was the exact same dream she had just had.
" darling I had the exact same dream just now I just didn't recognise Eloise in the dream. We must speak to Eloise right away I will make my way to you tomorrow morning this is too dangerous to leave. I have a terrible feeling about this make sure you don't let Eloise go anywhere by herself "
" yes aunt Marie I will make sure she stays here and I will tell Oliver don't worry "
Though she was scared her aunt had the same dream she felt relief at least aunt Marie had seen too so she could also try to work out what it meant.
There was a much bigger chance of preventing it with her brilliant brain in on it too.
She was still worried about Eloise.
Oliver hadn't come home yet so there was no one there protecting Eloise.
quietly she began opening the door to Victorias room after deciding to ask if she wanted to sleep with her and Eloise her room.
Victoria was an adult but she would never turn down mummy cuddles.
Both of them quietly walked in and sat in Eloises bed being careful not to scare her they woke her and told her she needed to sleep in Hannahs room
too tired to realise what was going on she willingly walked to hannahs room
cosily all cuddling together in bed and falling asleep peacefully.
Hannah usually took a while to get to sleep after a message but knowing Eloise was safe she slept with in seconds of her head hitting the pillow.
