Lauren's POV
When me and Pete returned, Forest seemed to be alot calmer than expected.
Autumn had dissapered, as had Clive.
That evening...
We sat on the sofa, his arm over my shoulder with my head on his shoulder.
"Lozz?"
"Mm" I nuzzled into his neck.
"Your not just doing this to take on your greif" He said.
I looked up at him.
"What! No! I love you honest" I protested.
Clive's POV
Since Autumn had left for Devon, I decided to stay behind and keep an eye on Forest so Peter didnt have so much on his hands.
I always knew that he'd keep my youngest daughter in check, he was that sorta lad.
"Forest what did I say?" I marched into the lounge, to find Forest watching telly instead of doing her maths homwork.
Forest looked up at me. "I don't know what your on about Dad"
"Don't be so smug Lauren" I said to her firmly.
She got up and marched out the door.
Forest's POV
I rocked myself on the swing with my foot.
"All alone are we?" Christan said, sitting beside me.
I gave him a small smile. "I'm fine honest, just waiting for Ben"
He patted my back. "If your sure kiddo, you have my number if you need a chat"
And he left and Ben took his place.
"You seem battered" I remarked
"I know" He whispered.
"What's wrong?" I asked, placing my hand on his.
"I want to end things" He whispered.
And he walked away.
