Elliot
We are all chilling after the manager has left and I am so pissed off at Kate's attitude towards Ana and Christian that it's fucking driving me crazy. How the fuck are we suppose to live together if she can't even get along with my family? I have been hearing here bitch and moan the entire trip about what a shitty idea all this is. Hiking is not her thing. No fucking way is she climbing some stupid rock. Who the fuck wants to do an obstacle course? How unfair that Ana and Christian get a romantic dinner on Saturday evening and we have to stay at the stupid ranch. Over hear dead body is she jumping out of a plane, nor am I allowed to do it. Who the fuck does she think she is? I got the proof I needed an hour ago from Taylor that Kate has been having an affair so I am going to break things off with her as soon as we get home. I decided not to make a scene here and spoil Ana's plans. I will suck it up for the weekend then I am so done.
Gail
I stayed home to do last minute arrangements for Ana's big day. I get into the car and drive to Kate's place to pick up Ana's dress. When I get there I find the door wide open. Thinking maybe Kate forgot to close it I go to Kate's room and am shocked when I see Leila with a scissors taking Ana's wedding dress apart. It all looks like a pile of rags on the floor.
"Leila what have you done?" I ask in horror and I can see the fear in her eyes when she sees me.
"I am not doing anything wrong. Kate gave me key and paid me to destroy the dress in her room." She says and this shocks me more
"Kate Kavanagh?"
"Yes the same one. She said she will pay me to do it and I was desperate for the money. She also paid me to spill wine on Ana at the masked ball." I take a deep breath and decide to treat this very carefully. I take a photo of Leila as evidence and send her off. It's not breaking in if she has a key. So I scoop up the now shredded wedding dress and I am so angry with Kate. I don't know what came over me but I just snapped and I picked up the scissors and shredded every single pieces of clothing in her closet and put it in a pile on the bed. I am still not satisfied so I fill the bathtub with water and throw every pair of heals she owns in there. That should show her not to mess with us. I leave there and decide to call Ana. I try her cell and realize it is off so I call Jason on his satellite phone and he puts Ana on the line.
"Hi Gail how is everything?"
"Hi Ana. I need to talk to you but I don't want you to react. We need to keep this a secret so you can keep an eye out there. Also please try and not get upset."
"Ok go ahead I am listening."
"I went to get your dress but Leila was there ripping it apart with a scissors. She said Kate hired her to do it. She also said she was hired by Kate to drop the wine on you at the masked ball party." I finish off on a rush and am faced with silence. then after what feels like hours she replies.
"Ok that's just ridiculous. Why the hell would she want to hurt me?"
"Ana I am telling you this so you can watch you back on this trip."
"Thank you Gail but I am going to speak to Taylor and Luke about it."
"I am happy to hear that but I wanted it to be your choice."
"Thank you Gail you are the best. Please pack us a bag when we get back we are going to Paris for a few days so I can buy a dress and I want you to come with me."
"Oh Ana it would be my pleasure. I will sort everything out for you while you are gone. Bye Ana and enjoy yourself."
"Bye Gail and I will." I am very relieved that Ana has taken this so well but I still decide to tell Jayson what had been going on here.
Ana
I am upset and Angry at everything Gail has told me but as I promised her I did not make a scene and kept my emotions in check. I glance at Taylor and he is on the phone with Gail I suppose. He gives me a nod and I know she has told him everything. I watch Christian chat to Taylor and I can see he is trying very hard to control his anger. I walk up to him and wrap my arms around his waist.
"Christian its ok baby. We can buy another dress."
"That's not the fucking point Ana. What the fuck is she playing at? After this fucking weekend I want her out of our lives."
"Christian we cant do that she is with Elliot and he is your brother."
"Ana trust me she wont be for long."
"What do you mean about that?"
"Well Elliot came and chatted with me earlier and he is going to leave her after this trip." I am shocked at this.
"Why? What happened?
"Besides the fact that she is a bitch she has also been cheating on him. He has just had enough" I am very shocked to hear this. I just wish he would send her home now and save me a lot of grief.
"Come on Ana lets go on our evening hike and forget all the Kate drama?"
"Perfect idea Mr Grey. Lets go."
Kate
I am so fucking pissed off at perfect fucking Ana. I have had enough of all this. I am going to show her how much fun I can have. The cabins are all so disgusting but Elliot seems pleased. They give us a tour and I come up with the perfect plan. I guess what Christian wants and likes I should expect Elliot to want and like the same. It makes me sick. I have hired a little friend to help me out with a few things back at home. All will be set when we get back home. Everyone except a few of us decided to stay back and not join them all on the stupid evening hike. Who the hell gets a trill from walking through the bush in the dark? What the hell can you see anyway? While they are all out I take a casual walk around to the storage shed. I remembered to bring my pair of scissors with.
Taylor
I am so fucking pissed off at the things Kate has been doing. I don't know how we missed it but I am going to keep a close eye on her. I get a text on our satellite phone and I am shocked at what I m reading.
"Just wanted to keep you informed. I have just got back from the landing strip. Ms. Kavanagh has left the resort and flown back to Seattle. She said she can't stand it anymore and wanted to go home" - Ryan.
I am trilled at this and slow down for the boss and Ana to catch up.
"Sir there is a slight change of things."
"What is it Taylor?"
"I just got word from Ryan that Kate left the ranch. She packed up and went home sir."
"Its about fucking time." We all spin and see Elliot standing there looking pleased with him self.
"What are you all looking at? She was a pain in the ass and would not stop complaining. I for one am trilled she is gone." Typical Elliot but I can't disagree with him I am just as trilled. I can see Ana is hurt by this but she covers up her feelings and carries on walking ahead of us. The boss is looking at her not knowing what to say. Shit this could go either way. I know how close Ana is to Kate.
Ana
I am terribly hurt by Kate abandoning this weekend but I am a little relieved I don't have to see her again. What's bugging me is I can tell there is something else wrong with Kate but I cant seem too put a finger on what it is. Her behavior has changed so drastically over the last few months. Its all just not normal.
"Baby are you ok?" I instantly relax when Christian takes my hand. We are now headed back to the camp and I just want to be alone with him.
"Yes, baby I am ok now that you are with me."
"Ana I am sorry about the way your friend has being acting."
"Christian there is nothing for you to be sorry about and I don't think she wants to be my friend. I don't even think she want to be at my wedding."
"Well it's about time. She is one nasty piece of work and she is going to pay for everything she has done to you baby."
"No Christian just let it go please. She is out of our lives now but I still don't want her hurt. Promise me you will not do anything to her?" I can see he is thinking hard and I want to laugh at the look on his face.
"Ok for you Ana I will let it go."
"Thank you Christian."
"You welcome baby. I see our cabin let's call it a night and tomorrow tings will be better."
"Ok let's go." We say goodnight to everyone and go and settle in our cabin. Its just frustrating how after all our planing things keep going wrong. I feel like just scrapping everything and disappearing for a week or two.
Gail
Its now sunday morning and I am excited Taylor will be back tonight. I grab the bowl of pasta I prepared for Alex and head down to his apartment. I knock on his door only to be confronted by a very tiny young man. He takes one look at me and dashes out the room. What the hell?
"Gail what can I do for you?"
"Alex who is that?" I point to the now empty doorway and i can see he is looking a little stressed.
"Gail dont even ask. His name is Tyler. I am just looking after him until Ana gets back."
"Ok but I am still confused as to how Ana fits into this."
"Believe me I am just as confused as you. What little Jose knew is Ana met him at a crime scene and since then has being looking out for him. On friday his mother passed away and Jose brought him here because Ana is out of town. I don't know what she is going to do with him."
"Poor baby. How old is he?"
"Three but he does not talk and he wont allow anyone to touch him. Jose says it might have been from the trauma he went through. I just hope Ana has better luck." This is heart breaking. I send a text to Ana on the satellite phone informing her what is happening here. Alex should have mentioned this sooner. I walk pass him and enter the room Tyler ran into and my heart breaks at the sight before me. He is curled up into a tight ball on the bed with a thin blanket thrown over him. The little soul is trying his hardest to make himself invisible.
"Hello Tyler." I say and even through the blanket I can see he is tremmbling. Shit I am not trained to deal with this. My phone pings and its message from Ana saying they are on there way. I knew this would be more important to her.
"Tyler I will leave you be for now. I am going to sit with Alex and we will wait for Ms. Ana to get home." I notice as soon as I say Ana's name he goes still. Wow Alex was right when he said this little one has attached himself to her. This is going to be very interesting to watch. I need to get to the store to stock up on a few things.
Ana
I am packing up my stuff in the cabin when Christian comes back with Elliot. I can see the confusion on both there faces.
"Ana what the hell are you doing?"
"I need to go home."
"Is everything ok?"
"Christian everything is so messed up. This weekend is a disaster, my wedding dress is destroyed, my best friend is no longer my friend and now I get a text from Gail that Tyler is now orphaned and there is nobody to take him. Apparently Alex has being looking after him since friday." I finish off and they are both just standing there even more confused.
"Ana who is Tyler?" Elliot asks and now I don't know how to say this.
"Four days ago I was called out to a scene were a man died of an overdose. I ran the scene and realized there was a little boy involved. He looked terrified sitting next to his mother and when I spoke to him we kind of connected. Anyway because I was involved in the case I asked Jose to look out for the kid. Well, Jose called Alex when he could not get hold of me. The kids mother died on Friday so it was either the system or me. Alex has him safe and I need to get back there so I can sort all this out."
"Ana what are you going to do with him?"
"Christian I cant and won't abandon him. If you see him you will understand why. I have a feeling he may be Elliot's son but I cant prove anything until I run a few tests." I finish off and I see Elliot go very pale. Shit this is not how I wanted to tell him. I completely forgot he was in the room.
"You fucking knew all this time and you kept this from me. How the fuck could you do that to me?" He screams and I see Christian step closer to me.
"Elliot you have to understand were I am coming from. One wrong move on my side and it would have being a disaster."
"Ana save your fucking lies for someone else. I trusted you and this is how I get treated. I am sorry but I will never forgive you for keeping this a secret from me. My own fucking flesh and blood. And to make matters worse you left him and just walked away. I'm sorry but I don't even want to be in the same room as you." He says walking out leaving me feeling broken. This is worse than I imagined and I just cant control the sob that escapes my lips. The next thing I know I am in Christians arms and he is holding onto me. This is so screwed up because I did say we don't know if he is Elliot's son yet even though he is the carbon copy of Elliot.
