Alicia headed up to bed after the girls. She didn't want to sleep. She couldn't. She freaked out and grabbed all bedsheets. She striped the bed and dragged everything down the stairs. She headed out to the garden and burned her sheets.

Malia was trying to get to sleep but she was failing miserably. She was too anxious and on edge. It was so unlike Alicia not to notice. The woman usually managed to read the girl's mind without her even having to say the words. Malia smelt burning and instantly worried. She looked outside her window to see what was causing it and noticed Alicia in the garden. She put her dressing gown on and followed her sister.

Malia watched Alicia was a couple of minutes before coughing. Alicia spun around terrified as to who would be there.

"What are you doing up?" Alicia asked.

"I could ask you the same thing?" Malia said. "Why are you burning your sheets?"

Alicia froze. She couldn't tell her sister the truth. It would be too much and she just wasn't ready.

"I stained my sheets and it wasn't worth trying to save. I need to get new ones anyway" Alicia explained and Malia nodded.

"Well, do you want to sleep with me tonight then?" Malia asked. Silently she was begging that her sister would say yes. Alicia nodded.

"Let me sort this out and then I'll be up" Alicia said and Malia nodded. She headed up the stairs and was shortly joined by her sister. Alicia snuggled up behind Malia. If she couldn't sleep, she might as well be somewhere she felt half safe.

Alicia didn't get any sleep but she was glad to be with her sister. Each time she closed her eyes he was there. She couldn't deal with seeing his face. She was so relieved when Ethan had informed her that Connie was allowing them to switch F1s. Her next plan was to change shifts so that they weren't working together as much.

Alicia got up long before both her sisters and snuck out the house before they had awoken. She arrived at the hospital very early for her shift and sat in the staff room.

When the girls got up, they panicked when they noticed that their sister wasn't there. Malia was nervous to text her sister to ask where she was as she had received such a snappy reply previously. So instead she grabbed Saskia's phone and texted Alicia.

"What are you doing with my phone?" Saskia screamed.

"I was just texting Alicia" Malia said.

"Well don't use my phone without asking" Saskia said. "Why didn't you use your own phone anyway?

Saskia snatched her phone from Malia.

"God keep your hair on. My phone is up the stairs" Malia lied.

Saskia sighed before heading back up the stairs to finish getting ready. She felt sick again. She was unsure as to why she was feeling so sick all of a sudden. It was becoming a regular occurrence.

Meanwhile, Alicia had posted online to see if she could find another housemate. She couldn't afford the house herself and right now she wanted another adult in the house to help her. She worked with Bea but she just wasn't herself and people were beginning to notice this. She just wanted patients treated as quickly as possible.

She hated when she saw him. Her blood boiled as she saw him acting normally. She freaked out every time he was around her. Then when she noticed him with Bea's patient. She couldn't control herself. Where the hell was Doctor Kinsella?

Bea arrived and Alicia shouted at her. This was not like Alicia, she couldn't believe that she had done that. Especially when she realised that the young doctor had just been to the police station to collect her father.

She didn't know what came over her but she offered Bea the spare room. Maybe if she had Bea with her things would be better. She would feel safe again.

"Look this might sound really random and you can say no if you like, but why don't you come and stay with me? I've got a spare room if you want to get away, I can do you a good deal" Alicia said.

"Really?" Bea asked. Alicia nodded.

"You haven't seen my desperate ads on the intranet?" Alicia asked and Bea shook her head laughing.

"No but he needs looking after" Bea said.

"But who is looking after you?" Alicia asked. Bea nodded before they got back on with their work.

Once Alicia's shift was finished, she got away as quickly as she could. She arrived back at the house and noticed her sister's sitting in the living room on their phones. She sighed. She really didn't have the energy to look after them at the moment. Malia smiled when she saw Alicia.

Alicia quickly put away her stuff before heading into the kitchen to crack on with dinner. Malia decided to follow her sister. She sat down at the table. She was trying to think of what to say. How to get her sister's attention?

"Alicia" Malia said nervously. Alicia turned around she just looked at her sister. Malia thought that Alicia might take over this conversation. Help her to speak to her but she didn't. She just looked at her.

"Can I speak to you?" Malia said nervously.

"You are speaking to me right now" Alicia said and Malia nodded. God, she really did sound so stupid. They were interrupted by the sound of the doorbell. Saskia jumped up and ran to the door to answer it.

Alicia was close behind her.

"Check the eye hole before you open the door" Alicia said but Saskia had already answered the door.

"Sorry, I think it might be the wrong house" Alicia heard a voice say.

"No, Sash move out the way" Alicia said as she came through hearing it was Bea.

"Sorry, I didn't know" Bea said. "But I'll take up your offer"

Alicia looked confused.

"The room" Bea said and Alicia nodded.

"Oh yes" Alicia said. It took her a moment.

"But you will have to knock the rent down a little" Bea said.

"I never told you how much" Alicia said.

"I know but it is too much" Bea said and Alicia laughed.

"Yes, right. I hope you don't mind my two sisters live here too" Alicia said and Bea shook her head.

Bea started ranting about all the help that she was going to get from Alicia.

"Yes and all that but now we are going out for a drink" Alicia said.

"Can I dump my bag first" Bea asked and Alicia nodded before putting her jacket on.

"Get your fake ID Mal" Alicia said and Malia nodded as she grabbed her bag.

"The pasta" Bea said and Alicia laughed before going to turn it off.

"Actually, Sash" Alicia said and Saskia came through.

"We are going out. You can have pasta. Save the rest and we'll have some later" Alicia said and Saskia nodded.

"Are you all going?" Saskia asked and Alicia nodded.

"Yes, now be good" Alicia said and they all left. Saskia looked around. She felt so alone. She sighed before looking at what her sister was doing. She cooked the vegetables and then added the sauce. She knew that she needed to drain the pasta now.

She lifted the pasta pot but as there was enough pasta for three of them plus leftovers it was very heavy. She carried it to the sink and held the sieve. She didn't realise the impact that the pasta would have and poured it quickly causing the boiling hot water to go onto her arm. She screamed in pain and dropped the pan and the sieve causing even more water to go on her arms.

Now crying in pain, Saskia grabbed her phone and called Alicia but she didn't get an answer. She called Malia.

"Mal, I've burnt my arm and it hurts so much" Saskia cried.

"Put it under cold water, not ice cold though" Malia said and Saskia put the phone on loudspeaker before doing what her sister said.

"I want Alicia" Saskia cried. She then heard Malia explain to Alicia what had happened.

"That stupid girl" Alicia snapped.

"I'm having a good time" Alicia said. "You go"

"Lesh, she is crying out for you" Malia snapped back.

"Well she can't always get what she wants" Alicia said and then Malia stormed off. She jumped a taxi and arrived home to her sister. Luckily the burns didn't seem too bad and she had managed to put them under cold water quickly. Malia didn't think the girl would need to go to the hospital but Alicia could check them tomorrow.

They both ended up falling asleep on the sofa. Saskia had cried herself to sleep. Unsure as to whether it was the pain or the fact that Alicia had refused to come home.

Bea and Alicia arrived home early morning. They looked in at the girls. Alicia sighed.

"She cried herself to sleep" Bea said and Alicia nodded.

"I'll carry Saskia up to bed and then can you help me with Malia?" Alicia asked and Bea nodded.

"Will you managed her?" Bea asked and Alicia nodded.

"I've done it many times" Alicia said as she gently gets Saskia into her arms and carries her up the stairs. She then came back and they both got Malia to bed. Alicia was amazed that neither of them had woken up. They must have both been shattered.

How long do you think Bea lived with Alicia before Alicia told her? I'm unsure how to do this. I have a couple of additional ideas but I am trying to figure out where I should place them.
