A/N Thanks for all the reviews and support. Enjoy! :)

I woke to the bright sun of LS. I looked at my phone to see it was 10:12. I turned over to see Franklin asleep, he was in his shorts and a vest, I smiled. I planted a small kiss on his shoulder before going to the bathroom. I decided to call my mom to see how she and my siblings were doing.

Phone call: (E=Ella, A=Amanda)

E - Hey mom.

A - Hey Ella. Are you OK?

E - Yeah, I'm OK. I was just wondering how you all were?

A - Yeah we're good. I mean Tracey and Jimmy are at each others throats but what's the surprise in that? Where are you?

E - I'm at Avery's house.

A - OK. When will you be back?

E - I don't know. I want to stay here for longer. I really like it. I'll play tennis with you later if you want.

A - Yeah sure. I miss tennis, all this yoga. I haven't had the time to play.

E - Thanks for letting me stay out mom. I am 17 after all.

A - I know, I know. You're growing up.

E - Yeah. Anyway tennis at around 12? At Vespucci beach?

A - OK then. Bye, I love you.

E - I love you too mom.

I put my phone back on the kitchen counter.

"How's your family?" I heard Franklin say. It made me jump I wasn't expecting it.

"Woah! You scared me." We both smiled. "Yeah there good. I'm meeting my mom at 12 to play tennis."

"That's cool. I've got to go out for sometime today, gotta drive around the whole of San Andreas."

"Why?"

"For this guy, Devin. Your dad said he could take me places. I'll be back by 4 though."

"OK. Be careful."

"I've done worse thing but I'll always survive. I have something to live for." We looked each other in the eyes. We both wanted the same thing but we were both to afraid to do it. "I'll call you when I'm on the way back." We weren't actually a couple but you would think we were right? We had chemistry. He cared about me enough to tell me everything about what he had done and what he would do.

"I fancy a bean machine." I said with a smile. I loved my coffee, I lived on it.

"Me too."

I grabbed my clothes from my bag and headed to the bathroom to get changed. Once I was done, I went to the bedroom to see a nude Franklin just about to place his pants on. He had went to feed Chop first.

"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry!" I exclaimed as I covered my eyes.

"It's OK. It's OK. Don't worry about it." He told me. Well this was awkward but I have to say it was well sized.

We went on his green motorbike to bean machine near my house. It was risky. I ordered a coffee and a snack. Franklin ordered the same.

"Here." I said to him as he was about to pay. I handed him $5 that should cover what I had brought.

"No you don't need to give me anything. I want to pay."

I nodded after we had ate them. I told him to drop me off at the tennis courts at Vespucci beach because it was almost 12.

"You be careful with whatever you're doing. I don't want you to get hurt or my dad."

"I will. I promise. I'm the boss of the operation."

"Wow! Over my dad. You're doing well babe." Wait did I just call him babe? Oh crap! Why was I doing such embarrassing things. We said good bye and then I began to walk to the tennis courts. The beach was always the same: people running, bodybuilders working out, a homeless man being abused verbally by police and people sunbathing. The weather was why we moved here.

I saw my mom waiting for me in her tennis gear. I was wearing shorts and a t-shirt so it's fair to say I wasn't probably in the best outfit but oh well.

"Hey mom."

"Hi sweetheart."

"First one to 6 sets." She nodded.

The first set she won. I was only on 15. She won the next set after a deuce, which annoyed me. However, I was the comeback queen and won the next 3 sets putting me in the lead. I was very competitive but so was my mom so this was serious.

It came to the last set and I was winning 40-30. I was on game point I needed to win. It was my serve I hit the tennis ball as hard as I could. Too hard for my mom, I had won the last set. I was the winner!

"Unlucky mom but I think I'm the best with out having a coach."

"My body was aching all over from all the yoga."

"Whatever makes you happy mom. All that exercise has made me hungry, fancy a burger shot?"

"I shouldn't but sure."

"I'll pay because I am the best child you have."

I felt my phone buzz in my pocket. I looked at it to see I had a text message from Franklin.

Hi. I'm back early it was really great. I have to go to the movie place now. I'll call you when I'm home. Love - F.

I smiled as my mom drove us to the burger shot nearby. We had already eaten but were now talking about life really.

"How are Jimmy and Tracey?"

"They're good. They said they'll meet you tomorrow, if you wanted?"

"Yeah that sounds good. I'll text them to arrange something. Are we ever going to go back home?"

"I don't know. It's up to him to change. No one else."

"OK."

I looked at the time to see it was 16:30. I hope Franklin's OK? I did miss my dad sometimes. I wanted to know if he was OK.

My phone finally buzzed after waiting for it to. I looked on my phone to see Franklin had text.

Hey El. Where are you?

I began to text him back.

I'm at Burger shot with my mom. Can you pick me up?

F- Yeah sure.

"Bye mom." I said to my mother as I embraced her in a hug. "I'm meeting Avery. Say hello to Jimmy and Tracey for me."

"I will. Bye honey."

I waited 5 minutes for Franklin before he turned up.

"Hey, was my dad OK and are you OK?" I asked as I put on my seat belt.

"Yeah I'm OK but your dad he's fine but he's in Sandy Shores."

"Sandy Shores? The dessert? Why?"

"Martin Madrazo. Trevor kidnapped his wife so they can't go back till Trevor gives her back and money."

"Great. You're all doing another house are you?"

He didn't answer.

"Franklin?!"

"Yes and it's going to be risky but we can do it."

"I don't like my dad and you risking your lives!"

"Why do you even care about me?!"

"Because I love you!"
