SIENNA'S POV "Stay awake Sienna, don't you dare close your eyes on us now" I hear as I try fighting to keep my eyes open but the pain searing through my body just hurts to much as I clutch my stomach for dear life. "Save the baby" I try to say unsure if anyone can hear me it sounds barely a whisper. I open my eyes again as I hear my best friend coming running towards us as I'm being rushed down towards the threatres where I'm usually not the one needing saving. "Sienna, I'm here don't worry I'm not going anywhere" vicky says. "Vic, Dont tell my family pleeea" I say before the darkness overtakes me. 10 WEEKS LATER ETHAN'S POV "Mum, I told you I don't want anymore blind dates. So please just stop already" I say getting out my car to go drag my pal away from work. "Oh, come on Ethan! I'm not getting any younger and neither are you. Its about time I had grandbabies! Yet all I'm asking for is you start to entertain dating" My mum says as I walk across the parking lot. "Okay, fine but I can find my own dates Mum, If you continue to try setting me up then I will just refuse and make out you raised a thug over a man" I say knowing that will annoy her as much as she is annoying me. "Alright, but this is your last chance. I want to have a daughter in law and soon, whilst I'm able to walk instead of being put in a nursing home" My mum says just as I clock Sienna. The women who always had my heart unknowingly. The reason no other women can claim me because they have nothing on our Sienna.. Why is she here? Sid Never mentioned Sienna coming back to see everyone. "Ethan? Are you listening to me?" My mum says and for a second I forgot I was on the phone. "Yeah mum. look I'll ring you later, I have to go. love you bye" I say hanging up the phone before she can respond. I hurry my footsteps to catch up with Sienna. As Sienna reaches to open the door I can't help myself as I shout "Sienna wait up". Sienna stops and looks around as she sees me she says "Ethan, Hi". whilst waving her hand at me. "Hey, I didn't know you were back to visit" I say as I approach Sienna. Yet I can't help thinking how amazing she looks as if she hasn't aged since she left a few years ago. Beautiful capturing eyes that glow even more in the sun but warm your soul in winter. Glowing sun kissed skin that you just want to touch knowing it will feel like silk and long brown hair you just want to bury your face in as you inhale Siennas sweet smell. "Yeah, no one knows I'm back yet. Are you on your way to see Sid?" Sienna says pointing upwards towards the building. "Wow, there gonna be so happy to see you and yes I'm here to see Sid, let me walk you in we can quickly catch up before your brother hogs you" I say opening the door for us. "Thanks. There's not really much to catch up on and what does need to be caught up on I should really inform the family first" Sienna says as we walk in but there's a hint of uneasy in her voice and I wonder what that's about. "That's alright, I understand but tell me how are you liking America?" I ask holding out my arm for Sienna to link hers with mine just like old times. Sienna links arms with mine and I notice her wedding ring has disappeared. I can't help wonder what happened but also I'm happy at the thought Sienna might be on the market to date again. And im praying it's finally my time to stake my claim offer before Sienna. "Well its just not home. Dont get me wrong its nice out there but I became home sick" Sienna says. "Aww, well I'm glad at the least you got home sick as it means I got to see you today at least" I say as we head for the lift. Lucky for us someone was just getting out so we didn't have to wait and walked straight in. "So tell me, do you and Sid have a meeting or plans?" Sienna asks. "Neither, I just figured we could go to lunch not that Sid knows that yet. You should join us" I say. "I might do, but can I ask a favour?" Sienna asks "Back two minutes and already asking for favours. Go on, ask away" I say laughing. "I wish it was like the old days when I just wanted something stupidly small. But seriously could you give me and Sid a few minutes alone before asking him to lunch? I know its cheeky but its really important. Actually I'm kinda glad at least one of you guys are here because I'm nervous about how Sid is going to take the news I have to tell him" Sienna says just as the lift stops and I can tell Sienna is pretty nervous and this doesn't sound good at all. I stop Sienna from moving as I say "Should I be worried? whats happened?". "It's a long story and you can see I'm okay" Sienna says as she looks up at me and offered a smile but her eyes don't look happy. She looks nervous and worried. "Okay" I say pressing the button to open the door again. "Your stay and wait up here won't you?" Sienna says sounding even more nervous now as we walk along the corridor. "Yeah, I will let you see Sid first but I'm sticking around and hope your both be up for lunch as well afterwards" I say. "Okay, thanks" Sienna says before letting go of my arm. I watch Sienna walk towards Sids office door. She stands outside a second and takes a deep breath before knocking. I don't know why, but in the pit of my stomach I feel sick. I feel like something isn't right and this is the calmness before stormy weather. Yet I pray my gut is wrong I really do. "I will be right here" I say just as Sienna then walks into Sids office without awaiting him to grant access. I hear Sid shout "No way, no way! I can believe it! Sienna when did you come back? Wheres Cliff?" Sid sounds so freaking happy and then the door closes. I debated playing a game on my phone or going to grab a drink from he staff room. But for some strange reason I couldn't find myself to move from the spot i landed on. I just stayed outside the office staring at the door, I also knew it was pointless trying to listen in as the room was sound proof. I had no idea how much time passed by but I knew every second seemed like a life time. longer than the years Sienna had been away and that uneasy feeling in my stomach just kept getting stronger. Even the palms of my hands where starting to feel sweaty. Suddenly the door flew open and Sid was there looking anger as he said "You tell mum and dad. I will be back once I've f*****g killed him" Sienna then grabbed Sids arm tightly with tears streaming down her face, I stood up more sharper and alarmed as she shouted "Please Sid, don't leave me. I need you and what use will it be he is in prison you won't getting him anyway" As Sienna finished saying that she looked like she was about to collapse from crying. Sid had tears in his eyes as he was quick to support Sienna from falling to floor bring her into a hug as he said "You should of rang me! I'd of been there in a heartbeat and thats when I see Sid was also crying. "Whats happened?" I ask worried and confused. "I know, but it was all so much I couldn't find the words" Sienna says and I wonder still whats going on as Sid rubs Siennas back saying "Okay" then he looks at me whilst crying still and I can tell he has a burning rage in his eyes. "Whats happened?" I mouth but Sid shakes his head saying "Later Ethan"... and I know that means he will tell me later. "Okay, well shall we at least go back into the office?" I ask. "No, I'm taking Sienna home and need to speak with our parents" Sid says "I will drive you both" I say. "I can't tell them. It was hard enough telling you" Sienna says trying to stop her tears as she looks up at Sid as if she is so tormented she can't bare to continue whatever is going on and my own stomach flipping like I'm sick at sea from seeing Sienna and Sid like this. "You don't have to, I will tell them" Sid says before looking at me and saying "Are you busy for the rest of the day?". "No, why?" I ask. "Will you sit with Sienna whilst I speak with my parents?" Sid says "Of course" I say "Before we go, I need to take some painkillers. All this crying isn't good for me" Sienna says "Go sit in the office, I will go get you some water. Ethan, dont let her out of your sight!" Sid says pulling away from Sienna enough and I wrap my own arm around Sienna as I say "Don't worry, I won't go anywhere" With that Sid quickly walks off as he wipes the tears away from his eyes and I suspect he needs a moment to gather himself as well. "You could of warned me tears would of been involved" I say stroking Siennas hair out of her face as she watches Sid walk away. "Sorry" Sienna says then she takes a deep breath before closing her eyes trying to calms herself. "It's okay, let's go sit down before you fall down" I say "I will be okay" Sienna says as I guide her back into the office to sit down. "You don't look okay, but I know whatever has happened your be okay again soon, now your here with the people that always cares about you" I say. "I doubt it" Sienna says taking a seat. I kneal infront of Sienna as I cup her face gently in my hands so she is looking me in face as I say "I know so, trust me everything will be fine again".. "You don't know that" Sienna says a tear slides down her cheek and I gently wipe it away with my thumb. "I've no idea what has happened, but I do know bad days don't last forever and better days always come" I say. "Not this time" Sienna says closing her eyes as if she no longer wants to talk about it let alone think about it. "Okay, then just rest for now" I say taking her hands in mine and Sienna holds them with a grip as if she needs strength or something. A few moments later Sienna opens her eyes and I can tell she is doing all she can to try contain her tears as she takes her hands and rubs at her face to dry her tear stained cheeks. "I left my bags in the hired car I got" Sienna says suddenly. "We can get them on the way out" I say. "No, you don't get it my painkillers are in there" Sienna say. "I'm sure Sid has painkillers around here somewhere" I say standing up ready to go hunt them out, But Sienna grabs my arm as she says "No, the ones I need are prescription ones". "Then you can get them on the way out" Sid says walking back in with a bottle of water. I thought Sid was going to pass Sienna the bottle of water but instead he leaned down and cuddled Sienna as he said "I'm sorry for shouting, I'm not angry at you.. I'm angry with that bastered. I was just not expecting that". "I know, I should of told you sooner, I just didn't know how to over the phone. It was alot to deal with myself and I didn't feel like talking to anyone. I cry each time I speak the words" Sienna says and you can hear the the raw emotions in her voice that at this point I feel myself wanting to cry seeing how distraught she is. "Its okay, I understand. I'm ment to protect you though being your big brother yet I was here whilst you were fighting for your life and I didn't even know" Sid says and I can tell he is trying to not cry again himself whilst my head shoots up looking in there direction as I take them words in. "What do you mean? What happened?" I say stunned as Sid stands back up and helps Sienna also get up. "The bastard tried to kill her and" Sid starts to say before Sienna shouts "Stop, I hate hearing it. I can't just stop". We both look at Siennas outburst stunned because Sienna never shouts and she starts slap herself in the head as she shouts "I can't take it anymore, I don't want to think about it anymore make it stop". Sid quickly grabs Siennas hands and brings her into a hug as he says "Okay, we won't talk about it anymore. Shh, its okay. I'm here now". "I'm sorry, I promise I won't say anything else" I say rubbing Siennas back as I look at Sid and he gives me a wide eyed look that says he is ready to kill the person who did this to his sister. I'm ready to also do the same thing I think as we try to calm Sienna down.
