CPOV

My mom takes a step to the right and my dad takes a step to the left, there right in between them sat looking at me is a tan Labrador Retriever. I run over to the dog and kneel in front down and start to stroke him head. "His name is Ace and he's a year old now we know you have school but for today you can take the day off if you want" my dad says smiling down at me as I fuss my new dog. I quickly stand up and hug both my parents "thank you SO much"

I let go of my parents and start walking to the back door calling for Ace to follow me. In the garden I play with Ace getting him to play fetch, run with me around the garden and I try to teach him a few tricks. I'm not sure how long I've been outside but when we head back inside the housekeeper is cooking and Elliot and Mia are sat at the breakfast bar. The both turn to look at me and turn back to what they we're doing but Elliot quickly turns his head back to me and then looks to my right at Ace "nice dog bro what's his name?" He asks as he walks over and pet's Ace "this is Ace" Mia runs over and pet's him too "oh he is so adorable look at him"

Later on we all sit around the table having a family meal. I got a few dvd's from Mia and Elliot got me a new leather jacket. As we are sitting here eating dinner I can't help but wonder why I haven't heard off of Ana today. Its strange I mean we she hasn't texted or called me. I hope everything is ok and that nothing is wrong. After desert which is a chocolate cake we all head to the family room, as we all sit down the doorbell rings and Elliot says he'll go answer it.

A few moments later Ana and the rest of the Steele's come in, Ana comes straight over to me giving me a tight hug and a chase kiss on the lips "Happy Birthday babe" she whispers in my ear I smile and squeeze her a little tighter "thanks". After everyone has finished greeting each other Ray and Carla hand me a gift, after thanking them I open it to find a baseball glove and season tickets. I thank them slightly overwhelmed and Kate quickly hands me a small box, inside is a black leather wallet with my initials embedded into it, inside are two pictures. One is of all of us the Grey's and the Steele's but the other one is a photo of me and Ana at the Gala. It was after we finished our duet, once I stood from the piano Ana came over to me and held me close to her. Kate must have found the photo and made a copy of it. I love it.

Ana hands me an envelope and a small box. I open the envelope first and see gift coupons but they are couple coupons. Smiling at them I look through them quickly and see there's one for a lunch date, a massage, a hug, a kiss and one for a date night. There are a few more but I'm dying to see what is in the box, when I open it I find a silver watch with blue numbers on it. Its cool I take it out of the box ready to put it on but Ana stops me and tells me to look on the back. I turn it over and read what is there

I love you now and always

Your Ana xx 3 xx

I put my watch on and hug Ana tight to me giving her a passionate kiss not caring that our families are in the room with us. As we pull apart I feel breath on my cheek, turning quickly I see Ace has woke up and found us, he's resting his paws on my leg looking at me.

We spend then rest of the night in the family room and Ana comes with me when I take for Ace for a walk. We talk about everything and anything, but the last few minutes as we walk to my house we are in a comfortable silence.

(Time jump a week before Ana's birthday still CPOV)

I'm taking Ace for a walk to the dog park, he loves going there, I can't wait for Ana's birthday. I have her gift ready, a charm bracelet and also I asked my dad to help book me a table at Ana's favourite restaurant, so we can have a romantic dinner just the two of us. I know she is going to love it.

Once I'm at the park I let Ace off of his lead and start throwing a tennis ball for him, I love this little guy so much, even Ana fell in love with him. He is just to adorable not to fall in love with him. Once he drops the ball at my feet I throw it for him again, man he is a fast runner unless your taking him with you while your running, he goes at your pace which is good I would hate to think of him running off and getting hit by a car. I'm waiting for Ace to come back but I hear someone shouting my name, turning my head I see Stephanie coming over with her dog, Butch. Ace comes back and makes a run for Butch and they run off chasing each other. Stephanie is one of Ana's friends and we get a long, one thing I like about her is that she doesn't eye fuck me, well it helps that she is into girls.

I know her girlfriend Alice, she's in the same year as Stephanie, they are both girlie girls but they don't mind getting their hands dirty. "So Christian where's that hot girlfriend of yours?" She asks trying hard not to laugh. Now if anyone else said that I would rip them a new one but this is just the type of friendship we have "at home helping her mom, where's yours?" I ask smirking "gone away for the weekend with her aunt" Alice unfortunately lost both her parents in a plane crash a few years back so now her aunt has custody of her, her aunt is cool and everything but it was and still is hard for her on certain days. I spend about an hour talking to Stephanie and throwing the ball for Ace when I decide its time I head back home. Ana should be finished helping her mom now.

I get home and jump in the shower quickly, once dry I change into jeans and a t-shirt before heading downstairs. I grab my homework, a paper about Shakespeare, English is something Ana helps me out with I just get her input of my papers just to make sure I've covered everything. Once I've finished it Ana walks in and sits right next to me.

"Hey babe let's have a look then" I kiss her quickly handing my paper over to her as she hands me something. Taking a look I smile and start going over Ana's algebra homework. This is the only subject she struggles with so I look over her work and is I find something wrong I help her understand the equation better.

After about half an hour I put Ana's work down the same time she passes me back my paper. "Its great babe you covered everything and went into enjoy depth and detail"

Smiling I hug her close to me "well when I have you to help me out how can I go wrong? Oh yours is fine too got everything right"

I pull Ana onto my lap and she rests her head onto my shoulder sighing happily. Wrapping my arms around her I hold her close not wanting to let her go even for just a second. I miss having her in my arms or just touching her, its like I'm lost without her.

APOV (time jump one week later)

Its the day before my birthday, I'm sat in my room finishing some homework so I don't have any to do tomorrow. Once its done I get up and get changed into some jeans, a pale pink blouse and putting on some white sandals I head down stairs. After eating some breakfast with Kate we head over to our friend Jessie's house, Jessie is Kate's age but we all get along. The three of us are going to go and get our hair and nails done today.

Once getting to Jessie's house we head to the salon, Kate and Jessie are getting some highlights done and a trim for their hair. Me though ? I'm just getting a trim and some layers. Once our hair is done we get our manicures done. Kate gets her nails painted a deep purple colour, Jessie goes for a slight twist on a french manicure, instead of the white tips she has a dark blue. I just stick to a classic french manicure. After we pay we head out to get some lunch then head home.

We drop Jessie home first then Kate and I head home but once we pull up outside the garages we see a strange car in the driveway along with mom and dad's cars.

We park and head into the house but don't see anyone but we hear raised voices coming from dad's office so we head there to see what's going on. As we get closer we can hear what they are saying.

"You have no right to be here you shouldn't even know where she is" dad says

"You can't keep me away" a male voice we don't recognise says

"You don't have a leg to stand on in the eyes of the law not yet any way" dad shouts back.

"You can't keep me away from my daughter she has a right to know her father and I have a right to know my daughter" the man shouts back

Kate and I are right outside the door to dad's office now.

"Her mother just ran off with her I didn't know where she went, I have been looking for her since she was a year old" the man shouts again.

I turn to look at Kate and she turns to look at me. She nods her head and puts her hand on top of mine on the door handle and we push the door open, as we do three heads turn to look at us. Mom and dad's eyes open as wide as saucers and the other man stares at us a smile slowly forming on his face.

"Its so good to see you baby girl I've been looking for you for a long time I'm glad I've found you"

Kate and I look at each other then back to our parents then to the strange man stood before us not sure which one of us he is referring to.

"You look so much like your mother Anastasia but I see you have my eyes I can't believe its taken me so long to find you but I'm so glad I have" he says coming over to me he pulls me into a tight embrace, I flinch and tense, I'm good with people I know and trust touching me but strangers its still hard, and with this man its worse after hearing what he just said and now he's holding me tightly. I don't know what to make of this, I need him to stop touching me but I can't speak, my eyes are screwed tightly shut and it hurts.

God I need to get away, I need a drink and a fucking strong one NOW!
