" Sharice? " Adam said slowly.
" Yeah, get over it now let's go" Zoe said.
At Zoe's flat
" This is a nice place" Sharice looked gratefully at Zoe.
" Just remember I share it with Nick Jordan now" Zoe warned. She had been a little girl the last time she saw him. It took Sharice a minuet to work out what she ment.
"No way, you have a boyfriend! " Sharice squeled excitedly. Zoe rolled her eyes.
" You're all grown up" Zoe stated . Sharice had grown her brown hair so it was longer than her shoulders. She was tall and slim.
" Well I am 16 now" it was Sharice's turn to roll her eyes. Zoe was about to ask how she was but was stopped by the door opening.
" Zoe, what's going on ?" Nick called. He came into the living room.
"Who... Sharice?" .
"Hi". It was getting late now. Zoe decided to explain with Sharice in bed.
" Sharice, I'll show you to your room". Sharice followed Zoe into the spare room. She made up the bed and kissed her goodnight and left.
"Nick, all she said was that she needed help then asked for a place to stay, there's more that she's not telling me but this is all I know" . Zoe whispered.
" She needs us" she whispered and Nick's face softened, he couldn't resist Zoe when she was being like this.
"What about our cruise"he whimpered.
"Let's see how she settles in".
Zoe went to check on Sharice before she went to work. She looked so peaceful until she started tossing and turning.
" Shush Sharice, it's ok" Zoe tried to sooth her. Sharice woke up and looked into Zoe's eyes.
" You're safe now, nothing can hurt you here". If only you knew.
Sharice thought sadly.
"What's all this about?" Zoe quizzed. Sharice hesitated.
"I had a boyfriend, Will, he was really rough and got me involved with the wrong people.I wouldn't do what they wanted and they threatened me"she said with tears in her eyes. Zoe gave her a hug. Sharice realised the danger she had put Zoe and Nick in.
"I don't want you on your own" Zoe frowned.
"I'll be fine, go"
"No, you're coming with us".
Later that day
Sharice was helping Noel on reception when her phone buzzed " hey babes, were r u zaraxxx She quickly replied " with zoe dont tell will sharxx"
It was a few hours later when it went again "hey, u playin hide n seek cause u no ill find u xxx willxxx"
She was snapped out of her thoughts when Zoe said "Sharice, the the thing is me and Nick were ment to go on a cruise tommorrow, but we don't want you in the flat yourdelf"
"I'll be alright, go have fun" she smiled brightly.
"I've asked Lenny to stay with you"Zoe confessed.
"WHAT!Zoe he's the least responsible person here, and he'll wreck the flat"Nick complained.
"It'll teach him something"Zoe replied before walking away. Nick sighed all he could think about was their flat. Sharice couldn't help but giggle.
