Ellie's Secret With a weary sigh Ellie sat down. She could hear Sadie and Anne Marie reuniting as well as Shoo kissing, well snogging, Dean. The two were already making plans to move back in together. Even Josie was talking to Ronan. Ellie could see that the two liked each other. It was almost as if the five of them had never left. She swallowed thickly staring to the fire. It had been Hannah who convinced them to return (the woman in question was already back in the kitchen with Ina as they talked about what had happened). Ellie's husband hadn't bothered coming after them but unfortunately he had disappeared into thin air putting Ellie on couldn't say no to them though especially not when she saw how lost Sadie was without Anne Marie. As she heard them all talking however she couldn't help but think it would have been better if she had just stayed in Barbados. She didn't hear Gill enter. Too lost in her own thoughts until he was sitting next to her. She jumped slightly but managed a small smile when she saw it was him. He gave her a nervous chuckle. "I thought you would've been here with Anne Marie. She's given us our jobs back by the way." Ellie said after a moment chuckling when Gill passed her a champagne glass. "Trying to get me drunk already?" She teased but took a drink. Gill shook his head slightly. "He isn't mine, the baby I mean, he's Euan's I, I couldn't stay with her." He said quietly and Ellie closed her eyes inwardly scolding herself before she turned to him. "Gill I am so sorry I genuinely had no idea I didn't mean to sound spiteful." She said quickly but Gill only laughed placing a reassuring hand on her arm. "It's fine Ells calm down. You were gone two years I didn't expect you to know." He said gently making sure she understood. Ellie frowned worriedly but nodded. "So, you meet any nice men in Barbados?" He smirked and Ellie giggled lightly. "Oh god no most of them were a shade away from being orange and half my age." She said trying to hide a small blush which crept onto her cheeks. She frowned slightly when he began to laugh and she pushed him away playfully. "Oh shut up."
"Hey I didn't say a thing." Gill said raising his arms in defence but he was still chuckling. "You're laughing Gill that's mean." She pouted and he rolled his eyes. "Sorry but I find the fact that you think your age would matter to boys like that. When if they were sane they'd think you gorgeous." It was his turn to blush this time when he realised what he'd said. Ellie smiled shocked before looking back to the fire. "Of course they would have to be insane." She smirked swallowing thickly when she heard Gill get up. "I em, I should go its getting late." He stuttered clearly embarrassed. Ellie looked up. "What? Why? You only just got here." She said standing up as he walked to the door. "I know but I em, I gotta go to work in the morning. I'll see you soon." He managed to say and waved to everyone else before rushing out leaving a bewildered Ellie and everyone else even more confused than her. Staying where she was Ellie visibly sagged before turning to everyone else as Hannah and Ina stood by the bar having entered when they heard Gill was leaving. Frowning Hannah walked over. "Ells what did you do?" She asked but Ellie shrugged. Smiling sadly Hannah put an arm around her. "I don't know Hans, we were talking and then he just, he just left." She said quietly tears pricking her eyes as she looked to the floor. Concerned Josie spoke up. "Right I think that's enough for tonight. Plus I'm exhausted aren't you Ells?" She said in hope of getting some conversation flowing again. Ellie blinked simply before grabbing her coat. "I'll be back! Don't wait up!" She said going out into the rain. Sadie looked around at everyone as she held her grandson on her knee. "Well then I think it'd be best if we do as she says and head to bed alright?" She said simply everyone nodded heading off to their own rooms/trailer. Meanwhile outside Ellie was running down the pavement in the rain calling out for Gill whom she could see at the bottom of the hill. Before she could catch up to him she felt a strong hand around her waist and she was dragged back into an alleyway. A hand repositioned over her mouth. "Don't move a muscle and i swear if you scream I'll slit your throat." She couldn't see very well in the dark but as she heard the mans voice her blood ran cold. "Roy." She breathed out now terrified. He smirked. "Hello Ells."
