Evan sighed as yet another disgruntled family member yanked him to one side.

"What?"

"Don't you what me! What did you do to Alice?"

"Oh back Rosie ok!"

"No! Is this what your mum would have wanted? You to tear the family apart?"

"Don't you dare bring mum into this!"

"Sarah wanted us to all stick together!"

"YEA! So why was i sent and made to stay in England, why when Liv came back with Alice, Charlotte and Gran did they not stay! We were meant to stick together! But now the family is breaking apart! And it's not my doing!"

Rosie pulled away, taken slightly in shock as she looked at her grown step brother.

"So thats what all this is about."

"Dont Rosie...just...just don't." Evan said quietly

"You didn't want Liv and Gran to come back."

"No! I didn't want Thabo and Alice to Force them to go back!"

"They didn't!"

"how do you know? You're Never here!"

Rosie stared at the man in front of her.

She didn't recognise this Evan.

This Evan was a broken man.

"Evan...i'm sorry i've no idea you felt like that."

He slumped into the chair.

"No one tried to get in contact...no one wanted too...i assumed they didn't care."

"They Did...they Do care...we all do...Danny and Alice.."

"Alice doesn't...she's quite happy to set up her own family with Danny and Baby Daniel..."

"Alice Loves you Like a son...Like she Loves Daniel."

"Oh Come on! You didn't see the way she Grassed me up To Danny!"

"She didn't grass you up! She wouldn't! You need to Give Alice AND Thabo a Break!"

"Thabo has stolen my Sister and Alice has Stolen the best thing ive got to a Dad!"

"Oh My God! You are acting like a spoilt Child! You're 21!"

"I've got a lot of issues!"

"No Kidding!"

"I thought you were okay with everything!"

"How would you know! You're Never..."

"Here...yea i get it..."

Evan stood up and walked over to the fridge to poor him some orange juice.

"Evan...things change...the past is the past...but people are never forgotten."

"All i know is that when i needed you, Liv, Danny...none of you were there..."

"We were! A Phone call away!"

"Exactly!"

"We never phoned you because we all thought you wanted to be left alone, set your own life up...when you left to look after your dad...we thought that was it...I never thought you'd actually leave Africa Evan."

"Well i did..."

"And now you're back! So why can't you just make it a happy place like it used to be?"

"Because stupid outsiders are changing everything."

"What? Alice? Thabo?"

"They've changed everything..."

"They haven't."

"Danny and Mum never had kids..."

"Because your mum never wanted to!"

"Danny's too old..."

"Now you're beginning to sound like dup."

"Great..."

"look Evan." Rosie begun softly sitting down opposite him "Families change and develop, they grow and branch off into so many different directions and create their own families..."

Evan sighed and downed the rest of his orange juice.

"Where are you going?"

"I dunno...anywhere away from here."
