Autumn's POV

I turned inbetween the bed sheets, the clock shouted 14.25 at me. I turned over again, the otherside of the bed. Empty.

"Gave you a scare did I?" He smiled, laying back down beside me. He placed his arm over my shoulder, I rested my arm over his chest and got comfortable. His arm came round and stayed on my back.

"You know I'd never leave you A, that's a promise" He stroked my hair, I looked at him. Our eyes clashing like the fire and water.

"I could never leave you either Pete" I snuggled into him, as we both fell asleep.


Lucy's POV

The front door banged loudly, I walked out to the hall and opened the door and before I could ask a girl ran in nearly knocking me to the floor.

"Watch it!" I said quietly, as the girl pulled off her bowler cap and big retro glasses that clearly wernt needed.

"Lauren? Lauren Fox" I said in disbeleif.

"Yes Lucy. I only have one name so I advise you to not wear it out" She smirked sarcasticly, before making her way into the lounde.

I stood in the doorway, gently rubbing my stomach. Watching the youngster, as she slung her black backpack onto the sofa, place her blackberry and ipod on the coffee table before sitting down with her head in her hands. I soon noticed that she was starting to cry.

"Hey, whats wrong sweatheart?" I said, sitting down beside her putting an arm over her shoulder.

"It's alright Luce. I'm just really scared" She admitted, resting her head on my shoulder.

"I'm afraid, we are going to have to find you a nickname cuz I'm afriad theres another Lauren around here" I tried to lighten her moods.

"I want to be called Forest. My middle name, Autumn always uesd to call me Forest" She whispered.


Forest's POV

I lay out on the sofa, with my head in Peter's lap. Whilst Autumn and Lucy were talking in the kitchen.

"Why come now, eh Lauren?" He stroked hair away from my forehead.

"It's Forest. And he was getting so close to me on my trail, I knew Autumn would be here. She always used to come to you if she needed comforting" I told him firmly.

"Sorry, Forest. You're forgetting the pain you put your sister and your step-dad through, in the past month" He told me as I sat up.

Autumn came in sheepishly, followed by Lucy.

"Forest, tell me where you've been" Autumn pleaded with me, she'd obviously been crying told by the redness around her eyes.

"I've been with Gran in southern London, Clive knew where I was all along" I admitted.

Autumn put her hands on her hips. "And you didnt think to come and find me!"

"I didn't know where you were!" I yelled, standing up facing the wall with my back to her.

"Forest, how do you think I felt when you left that note on the kitchen table" Autumn pleaded.

"I dunno you tell me" I felt tears filling my eyes.

"I'd thought you'd comitted suicide or something!"

I turned and looked at her.

"I've missed you A" I whimpered, as I walked towards her. She held me at arms legnth.

"I've missed you too Forest" She pulled me into the tightest hug, we'd ever shared.
