"Eduardo and Luke use to be best friends, they were both 4 years older than me, only one thing. Luke was mega rich as his dad was the mayor where-as Eduardo grew up in the orphanage due to this mother's death. They were inseparable. Anyway, I was 6 and my parents became best friends with Luke parents. I was all ways round his house and Luke basically brought me up. I grew up and round him and Eduardo. Eduardo always uses to pick on me but if anyone ever hurt me Eduardo would beat them up for me. When I turned 14 my parents went away on a cruise trip… only the boat sank and they never returned… so Luke's parents took me in and raised me. The only catch was I had to marry Luke… Clearly it was Luke's idea and he refused to take no for an answer. He was horrible; he controlled me and told me I had to sell everything about my past life. He even stopped me from seeing Eduardo! I was 14… We held this massive engagement party and I snuck off to find Eduardo but I seen him holding hands with this girl and stepping onto a boat… That was the last time I seen him and the first time I realise I loved him… I knew I couldn't marry Luke so I returned "home" and called off the marriage. Luke was furious, he called me an embarrassment and took me to "our" room and… and he hit me, I was bruised all down my body. Then, then he tried to have sex with me but I refused. I… I ended up slapping him and running off with nothing but the clothes I was wearing that night… I was an embarrassment and outcast. I went to find Eduardo but it was too late, he was gone. I lived on the streets for a while before an old lady took me in and cared for me. When she died she left everything to me. I took the money and used it to buy back my old room in my house. I got a job at Sammy's and well… Everything was alright til today," Chanel whispered. Nathan listened to her and wiped away her tears.

It was a different story to what Eduardo had told him but it connected all the dots. Eduardo had loved her since he met her and gathered she was just marrying Luke for the money. Never had he considered the though she might have had been forced into it…

"You need to tell him," Nathan said. She shook her head.

"It's best if he doesn't know, I'm just glad he's okay," Chanel said.

It had been 3 days since Chanel had been on the Sirius and Eduardo was still in the infirmary. He had gone into a mild coma due to the bullets that had entered in whilst protecting Chanel. Chanel had been sleeping in his room and was fully acquainted with everyone on board. She spent time helping Thomas as he was her age and most welcoming.

"Please, wake up, Eduardo thank you so much for saving me. I needed you to save me all them years ago, I hated Luke. I always loved you," Chanel whimpered whilst holding Eduardo's arm. She cried against it softly. She felt a bump against the ship of the ship and almost fell off the chair.

Chanel dried her eyes and quickly ran on deck. She ran into someone on the way.

"Russ? Whats happening?" She asked and grabbed his arm. It wasn't Russell…

"And who are you…?" The figure asked stepping into the light. It was a young man with black plaits in his hair and also a hat on. Chanel tried to let go of their arm but they held her tightly.

"Oh you are a beauty pearl," He whispered. He quickly grabbed her and ran out on the deck. Chanel screamed and tried to fight against him. What was happening.

"Chanel!" Thomas yelled and as they ran past him. The man was about to jump on to the other ship when…

"Get off my girl Alan!" Eduardo yelled pointing his gun at the man. Alan froze and dropped Chanel.

"Until next time pearl," He bowed before jumping on the passing ship. Eduardo…?

"Eduardo…" Chanel cried and ran into his arms. He wrapped them tightly around her.

"What are you doing?!" She yelled at him, he must have just woken up and he was out of bed!

"Shut up!" He yelled before kissing her. Chanel was shocked but leaned up and kissed him back. They stood there holding each other tightly.

"I've waited 15 years to do that…" He whispered against her forehead.

"Eduardo!" Chris yelled. He took his arm and took back below the deck. He lay him down and examined him checking his was okay.

A few hours later after a good shower to think things over Chanel returned to the infirmary and sat next to Eduardo.

"I heard you earlier… I don't know if you head heard but I woke up in the night I was gonna surprise you…" Eduardo started. Chanel blushed and laughed.

"Oh god, I cant believe you!" She started and playfully slapped his arm.

"I need to tell you something," She started and locked the door. She sat on the edge of bed and looked him dead in the eye.

Eduardo listen carefully and felt his heart strings tug at her story, she had been order and banned from seeing him… After all this time he thought she hated him… Wait, did she just say he loved him…? Eduardo grabbed her arm and pulled her close to him so she was lying against his chest.

"I've been in love with you ever since we met, I always though you hated me because of Luke," Eduardo said holding her tight against him.

"No it was just, Luke controlled me," She said. He held her close and went to speak when her felt her stop moving. He looked down and saw her fast asleep on him. He chuckled and gently kissed her head.
