Chapter Twelve

ETHAN'S POV

"Who the f**k are you" Mr Rod shouts but his fist is still Hoovering in the air as I take quick strides over to them both.

"Mr Ryde. Your boss and I swear if you so much as touch her I will f*****g kill you" I say as Sienna moves away enough to be free.

"Ethan, dont just take me away" Sienna says looking as pale as ghost and frighten. Thats when I clock the hand print across her face.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't know" Mr rod says scrambling away like a coward. Sienna is on her knees and dives for my legs hugging them as she screams "No" Clearly knowing my intent. She see me get into fights and train when I was younger. She knew my next thoughts for sure.

"Sienna, move i don't want to hurt you" I say whilst watching Mr Rod still moving as far back as he can.

"No, Ethan.. I'm scared, I can't please" Sienna shouts as she starts to cry.

I look between her and Mr Rod and I know i can't put Sienna through anymore truma than she already has been through. She needs to come first.

"Its your lucky day. I suggest you get out of my sight right now. I will deal with you later.

Miss Brewers make sure he is far far away from me" I say whilst I bend down to help Sienna up.

"You heard the man, I suggest you get the f**k up and move before I personally f**k you up" Miss Brewers says sounding rather angry. I've helped Sienna up who is now clinging to me for dear life and I stroke her hair and rub her back trying to comfort her. All the while giving that piece of s**t the death glares because its the next best thing I can do than actually tear him apart right now. He stands up making his way quickly but sheepishly towards the door.

"By the way Mr Rod I only came here to have a meeting with you. But right now your have to wait until I can arrange someone else go do it" I say

"Yes, I understand. I really didn't know and it was a misunderstanding. I'd like to formally apologise to the women in due time" Mr Rod says.

"I want to go" Sienna says as she starts to calm down.

"Come on move, now" Miss Brewers says and she grabs Mr Rods arm dragging him away.

"Let me see" I say moving back slightly as I cup Siennas chin in my hand gently to look at her face.

"It's nothing. Its fine" Sienna says

"It's clearly not fine and I shouldn't of left you alone. We could hear shouting then when I heard you screaming I came as fast as I could. I'm sorry" I say but Sienna shakes her head as she says "It's not your fault, plus I put up a fight myself. I got more blows on him compared to his one to me".

"Good, I'm glad your remembered what we all taught you" I say hugging Sienna again.

"He just brought back bad memories shaking me more than that hit" Sienna says as she as I hear the emotions building up in her voice again.

"I know. Take a moment to gather yourself and then we will leave" I say rubbing Siennas back, Sienna holds on to me hugging me back a little tighter than usual and she takes a few deep breaths. After a few minutes Sienna moves back a little as she looks up and says "I don't know why American dudes seems to like attacking me, but I don't think I can handle anymore in this lifetime".

"Even if I have to handcuff you to me until we fly home to prevent such a thing happening again, then I will. Now let's straighten your crown because your a princess after all" I say whilst using my hands above Siennas head to make it seem like I'm straightening out a fake crown.

"I'm no princess, princesses live in Nice castles with knights that protect princesses unlike me" Sienna says as she walks away to look out the window.

"Don't make me get Harry and Charlie on the phone. you won't win. There only fly back out and no doubt one of them will hire a castle and the other one will likely buy us all Knight outfits just to prove you wrong. Plus I don't think I'd look good in a knights outfit" I say trying to lighten the mood a little.

"Don't worry I will be fine. Come on let's go, by the way you would look good in anything, just for the record" Sienna says as she turns to face me again.

"Okay, let's go. I will make you some lunch when we get back how does that sound?" I say as Sienna gets her bag.

SIENNA'S POV

I was glad to be back in the comfort of this glorious hotel where I could hide away from the world. I just wanted to be alone even though Ethan had tried his best to cheer me up on the way back. So that's what I asked for and Ethan understood leaving me be on the balcony. Only being alone with my thoughts wasn't Excaulty great either. I really wished I could go back to a time where I wasn't depressed and hating where I was or upsetting others by being elsewhere.

After a while I decided that being outside wasn't making a difference so I went back in. Ethan was sat on the sofa on his laptop, he looked up upon seeing me walk in and says "Hey, you okay?".

"Yeah" I say plastering on a smile on my face. After all the sooner everyone thinks I'm happy the sooner I can stop wasting there time I think to myself as I head for the phone to call down for room serve.

"That good, I'm just catching up on some work. But if you want to do something then it can wait" Ethan says.

"No, its okay. I'm gonna order a milkshake and some ice cream do you want anything?" I ask.

"I'm fine at the moment, you go ahead" Ethan says.

"Okay" I say picking up the phone. But before I can even press a button my own phone rings. I look to see its Vic and decide room service can wait as I put the phone down to answer my own phone.

"Hey" I say answering the phone.

"Hey, I'm just checking in. How are you and do you fancy going for drinks later?" Vic asks as I head for the sofa myself.

"No, I've decided American men are not worth being around therefore I will give drinks a miss" I say laying down on the sofa and closing my eyes.

"There not all bad" Vic says.

"They are to us British women. They certainly like using us as punching bags" I protest and I can hear Ethan moving so I open my eyes to see him standing up then close my eyes again as Vic says "What do you mean? Who hurt you know? I will kick them into next week".

"It's a long story, but don't worry with any luck I did enough damage so he can't reproduce any children" I say.

"Good, sounds like he deserved it. Where was Ethan? Didn't you say they all followed you out here but only Ethan was staying?" Vic asks as I hear Ethan on the phone to room service.

"Yeah, he is still here. Anyway, where are you going tonight?" I ask.

"I haven't decided yet, but I think you should still come out." Vic says.

"I will think on it. Let me know where you decide to go incase I change my mind" I say.

"I will text you, once I know for sure. Anyway I need to go get back to work" Vic says

"Alright speak later" I say then I hang up the phone.

"I ordered your milkshake and ice cream" Ethan says.

"Thanks, I would of done it when I got off the phone" I say opening my eyes as I sit up.

"It's fine, By the way do you remember i gave Miss Brewers my card so she can contact me directly if required over the next few days?" Ethan asks sitting down next to me but looking at me as if he has something on his mind.

"Yeah, did she message you? You know I didn't see a ring on her finger and she seemed to be giving you the eye. Maybe you should ask her on a date" I say.

"Your as bad as my mother. No, I didnt notice neither did I want to notice. But anyway, this is more serious. She told me earlier that she could of sworn she recognised you... except she couldn't remember back then. Anyway she emailed me while you were outside on the balcony it seems she had some help from the receptionist in remembering you" Ethan says and I know Excaulty what he is on about as I think back to the time I walked in there in such a bad way. But I hoped no one would recognise me so I wouldn't have to remember that event. Yet today just keeps giving and yet once again I'm reminded of the hell I had to suffer.

"Then I'm sure she would of told you what happened. It was a long time ago now. Let's leave it in the past" I say

"Actually, she just said that you came looking for me in a way, and that the receptionist is now worried she will lose her job only that you didn't state my full name just Ethan. She just wanted me to clarify that the receptionist and everyone involved didn't need to worry" Ethan says.

"Then you should assure them there jobs are safe. She is right I didn't state your last name because I had concussion hell I had to tell the taxi driver to take me to the building then give directions from there even then I got two wrong turns. But like I said its in the past. Id like to keep it that way" I say.

"Okay, but why didn't you just ring me? I would of helped you know" Ethan says.

"Because my phone was so badly smashed up I couldn't contact anyone. So I did what I thought was the next best thing only when they rung the ambulance I wasn't hanging around be cartered of to my work place so I went and stayed in a hotel that time" I say only stopping my story when the door knocks. I stand up to go get my food and drink and Ethan says "Okay, I'm sorry for upsetting you. We won't talk about it anymore".

I simply reply "Thanks" as I open the door.

"Room service" some young women says and I take the tray "Thankyou, so much. Have a nice day" I say taking it in "And you" The women says.

Once I've shut the door I take my food in and sit on the sofa, Ethan has his laptop again on his lap but looks up at me and smiles as I take my seat next to him.

"Trust me if I could go back I'd of rung you all. I can't change what I did and didn't do anymore than you all wish it. I wish for it as well but im certainly paying the price for not changing things sooner. And I'm sorry if I let you all down. But me keep thinking about the past won't help me feel okay anymore than you all wish I could easily forget and move on. I'm trying to so you can all have your lifes back and won't have to feel like I need watching. Trust me if I didn't want to stop you all wasting your lifes away babysitting me then I would easily give up and wallow in this grief" I say followed by starting to drink my milkshake.

Ethan takes my hand cupping it with both his as he says "Sienna, I swear we don't feel like we are babysitting you. So please don't think that anymore. Yes we all come rushing after you and haven't left your side in months. but we literally wouldn't be anywhere else. You know full well if it was one of the rest of us you would be there alongside everyone else until however long it took. We didn't rush out because we felt like you couldn't look after yourself. We rushed out because no one over here knows you as well as the rest of us. If you really did breakdown and need someone by your side there's no way they can outbeat us in knowing how to help you through it. Dont feel like you have to rush grieving and over coming all that horrific truma you had to go through just to give us our lives back because the reality is without you we would be lost. That includes Sid, yes he was way out of line with what he said and he knows it. But deep down the person he really is angry with isn't you its Clive. We are all angry with him but we can't do anything about that. So although I don't blame you being upset by Sids words just know he is really sorry".

I listened to every word as I felt my hand getting sweaty and a lump form in my throat trying not to cry.

"I know you all care" Is all I manage to say whilst fighting off the urge to cry.

"Come on don't get upset, I don't want to make you cry" Ethan says as taking his hands away to wrap a arm around my shoulder to give me hug.

"I know" I say sniffing away the unshread tears as I put my legs up and shuffle closer leaning into Ethan as I drink more of my milkshake.

"I think you forgot your ice cream" Ethan says.

"I haven't, I'm letting it melt slightly" I say.

"How about we watch a movie. I can finish work later" Ethan says.
