Ella rushed to her room and stripped out of her dress and changed. She sat on her bed. She finally gave up, dropped the fake smile as a tear ran down her face and she whispered to herself "I can't do this anymore". Her chest burned, the tears kept coming and she sobbed like her life depended on it, she stood up and went to her bathroom locking it, she opened the toilet and dry heaved, then sat back on her knees.


Tiffany and Regina headed to Ella's bedroom door.

"Should we knock?" Regina asked, Tiffany nodded, Regina formed her hand into a fist and knocked, holding her breath to hear and answer, but nothing.

"Ella?" Tiffany said knocking, but it was dead silent. Regina shrugged and opened the door followed by Tiffany. The room was dark except for the light that came from the windows.

"Her bathroom." Tiffany said barely above a whisper, Regina nodded and walked towards the door, there was light behind it. She knocked on it and pressed her ear to it.

"Ella, dear." She spoke, all she heard was sobs.

"Ella, hun." Tiffany spoke from besides Regina, "You gotta open the door love."

"Please-" a muffled voice said, "Leave." Ella cried

"Hun, we can help you-" Tiffany began

"No." she sobbed

"Ella, please just talk to us." Regina said softly

"No." she sobbed again


"Kenzi stop, calm down!" Hale tried to say

"No!" She screamed, "He's a fucking bastard who keeps hurting my best friend!" she yelled trying to attack Jax but three men holding her back was a struggle.

"Congratulations!" Kenzi screamed, "You've managed to make her feel like a worthless piece of shit! Would you like an award for that?" Kenzi yelled

"Kenzi, I-" Jax started to say

"No! You don't get to talk you piece of shit!" Kenzi yelled trying to inch her way to Jax. "God I wish I could hurt you the way you hurt her. I wish Ella could hurt you the same way, but I know in my fucking heart that she wouldn't." Kenzi said with tears streaming down her face

"She will never get over you, you dumbshit" Kenzi said through her tears

"I'm sorry, Kenzi." Jax tried to say

"You wanna know something funny?" Kenzi asked, "Ella is that person you meet in your lifetime that turns your whole world upside down. No matter what she goes through she is the sunshine in my sky, always. But you, Jax, you're the rain, the clouds trying to hide her from shining. Why? She has been through hell and back, her whole life has been struggle after struggle and YOU. You are supposed to be her support, her foundation of life. But you fucking blew it. She crumbled and you're still standing." Kenzi said

"Kenzi, I'm sorry, I really am." Jax said

"You don't get it." Kenzi said, she stopped fighting the three men, "You absolutely in all ways, broke her." Kenzi said sinking to the ground

"And I don't know if I can fix her." Kenzi sobbed, "I'm supposed to be her best friend and help her up when shes down, but how can I when you left nothing for her. She's broken into a million pieces that the ones that love her will have to pick up and put together." Kenzi said

"So thank you, you piece of shit. For showing everyone that you don't love her." she picked herself up took a deep breath and headed out of the building, Hale following closely behind her. Jax stood there shocked, he looked to Robin.

"Sir, I didn't mean-" Jax started to say, Robin shook his head

"No Jax, enough." Robin started to say, "You've done it." Robin sighed

"Sir, just hear me out-"

"Hear what Jax? What?" Robin said running a hand through his brown locks, "Do I have to repeat Kenzi? You broke my other daughter. Christ Jax."

"You broke her, again." Robin stressed, "You taught her time and time again that nothing." He paused rubbing his eyes.

"Nothing she does, is good enough." Robin finished, Jax frowned

"I didn't mean to." He said with a few tears falling from his eyes, "I'm trying to be better for her."

"Are you? You think hurting her again helps?" Robin said raising his voice, he started to feel heat rise from his neck.

"Robin." A male voice said cautiously, "I'm Jay, Tiffany's fiancé, I know how much you want to punch this kid out, but don't." Robin closed his eyes trying to steady his breath, Jay was right, but every time he looked at Jax he saw his daughter's pain.

"Robin." Jay said again, Robin's fists were clenched and he trembled.

"Don't do something you won't be proud of telling your daughter." Jay said he rested a hand on Robin's shoulder, "Be the man you want her to end up with. Do you want her to be with someone who punches another person because they're angry?" Jay asked, Robin let a breath through his nose

"Jax isn't worth it, you have someone more important needing attention, alright?" Jay said, Robin opened his eyes and nodded.

"Ella, she's probably really confused right now and needs a father figure, okay?" Jay said

"Thank you." Robin said to Jay, Jay nodded

"Sir-" Jax tried to say, Robin looked at him

"Leave, now." Robin said and without another word headed towards the elevators.


Robin headed up the stairs to Ella's room and slowly opened the bedroom doors, he saw Regina and Tiffany leaning against the bathroom door their ears pressed to the door offering soothing words. Tiffany looked up and stood to walk to him.

"She isn't responding as much, the occasional "No."" Tiffany said

"I see. Could you do me the biggest favor?" Robin asked

"Take care of the guests downstairs?" Tiff asked

"Yes."

"You can count on it." She said with a smile before disappearing.

Regina lifted her head to the approaching figure and had a small smile on her face.

"I got this." He whispered to her before planting a kiss to her head, Regina nodded and moved away from the door. Robin knocked gently.

"Ella." He said softly, "I'm coming in okay?" he said, he waited for a response but heard small whimpers, he quickly picked the lock and let himself in before shutting the door behind him. Regina went back to her original position with her ear against the door just in case Robin or Ella needed her.

Robin looked at his daughter, she had taken off her dress and had replaced it with shorts and a tank top. Her hair in complete disarray and her makeup smeared, she looked broken. Her eyes puffy and bloodshot red, she looked at her father and immediately went to the toilet dry heaving, Robin sat close to her and rubbed circles on her back while holding her hair just in case she did let out something. She pulled away and hugged her knees slowly rocking back and forth.

"Ella." Robin said, "Talk to me." Robin spoke, she sniffled

"I'm so tired." Ella said in between gasps of air, "It hurts, I just want to be done daddy." Ella said

"Oh princess." Robin said pulling her into his arms and slowly rocking back and forth.

"I'm tired of trying to be stronger than I feel." She said sniffling, Robin kissed her head

"Everything hurts right now love, it may feel like the end of the world, but it isn't." he spoke softly, "You may think there is no light left, that with all that's been going on there isn't hope for something better, but there is Ella." Robin said

"But-" Ella tried to say but Robin hushed her

"The hardest thing about losing someone, isn't saying goodbye." Robin said rocking gently, "But rather learning to live without them. It's always trying to fill the void, the emptiness that's left inside when they go."

"But I'm telling you, time heals." Robin said, "You find something to fill that void in the most unexpected places in the most peculiar times."

"I swear if it wasn't for you meddling I wouldn't have found that something or rather someone to fill the void, Ella." Robin said, Regina's breath hitched listening to him.

"You are deserving of the purest, whole, and authentic love there is. I hope you know that." Robin said gently standing and placing her down on the tub's edge, he tucked her hair behind her ears, her crying had ceased, she looked at her father with pained eyes.

"You. Are. Enough." Robin said, "You are, Ella." Robin said squeezing her hands, "Understand your worth my love. Once you do there is no stopping you." Ella's breathe hitched.

"Cry as hard as you want to, but just make sure that when you're done, you never cry for the same reason again." Robin said, he kissed her hands and smiled at her. Ella sighed and smiled a little.

"You haven't called me princess in a while." Ella said softly, Robin smile widened

"Well, you will always be my princess Ella, no matter how old you get. Now get some rest, we have more things to discuss but that's for another day, now I'll be back with some water, I assume you would like to speak to Regina before you rest?" Robin asked, Ella nodded just as Robin was about to leave Ella threw herself into him and hugged him tightly.

"I love you." Ella said

"I love you so much more." Robin said kissing her head, he opened the door and smiled at Regina. She stood with the help of him, she looked at Ella and motioned her to go on the bed. Ella watched as her father left. Ella sat there and wiped away her tears. Regina sat next to her.

"Gina." Ella mumbled

"Yes dear?" Regina said

"Can you stay with me tonight?" Ella asked, "I know you aren't my mother or anything but, I just really need a mother figure right now, and you are the closes thing I have to that." Ella said, Regina smiled.

"Of course Darling."
