Huge thanks for all the support you all gave me for the last chapter. it really is appreciated. Have a great weekend. Best Wishes Mx

As I finish a tune I feel a hand on my shoulder. 'Matt, we need to leave.' Elliot says. I nod and stand. Hannah is sat with Mia on the sofa. They stand and come and hug Elliot. 'No mischief now we're going back home.'

'As if we would.' Mia retorts as she hugs him.

'Take care little lady.' Elliot says as he picks up Hannah to hug her. He then turns to me and gives me a brotherly hug. 'Plenty of rest but practise your surfing, I'll look forward to autumn break.'

'Me too.' I say as I smile at him. 'Where's Christian?'

'He was with Taylor. He was giving him a bag and telling him to guard it with his life. You know how dramatic he is at times.' Elliot says as we wander towards the front door. I smile to myself. Christian is being over protective of my daddy's songs, bank account passbooks and gold bars. As we approach the car Christian appears. He briefly hugs Mia and then Hannah before turning to me.

'Did the piano help?' Christian asks quietly.

'Yes thanks.' I reply.

'Good. Plenty of rest, enjoy the surf. We'll see you next week.' He says.

'Elliot has just said the same as you. Text me when you land. I'll worry otherwise.' I say.

'You'll be asleep but I'll text anyway and also when I get to Escala and have everything in the safe.' He says.

'Thanks, I appreciate everything you're doing.' I say.

'I know.' He says and then surprises me with a hug before getting in the car. Taylor shuts the door behind him and smiles at us before climbing into the driver's seat. I stand in between Mia and Hannah and we wave as the car pulls away. I then put my arms around their shoulders and pull them into a hug. 'Pool party anyone.'

'Matt.' Mia exclaims. 'You're exhausted.'

'I know, I'm going to lie on a lounger on the deck until dinner is ready.' I say as I take Hannah's hand. 'Will you come and sit with me?'

'Yes.' Hannah whispers with a shy smile.

'I'll go and get some drinks.' Mia says. 'Any requests?'

'Juice for me please Mia.' I say.

'I'll have the same thanks.' Hannah says as we leave Mia to head to the kitchen. As we make ourselves comfy on the lounger I pull Hannah closer to my chest and kiss the back of her neck.

'I so want to be inside you.' I whisper.

'You can keep your hands to yourself after earlier. I was so embarrassed.' Hannah says indignantly.

'Don't be, I explained to Christian what we were doing and he wasn't bothered.' I say as I kiss her shoulder.

'Matt, please tell me you didn't.' Hannah says as she pulls away and swings round to face me.

'Yes.' I say quietly and look at her with fear. Shit she's angry.

'Do you share everything with your brother?' she spits out.

'No' I mutter. 'I'm sorry, I didn't think. He was asking if I was putting my health at risk and I just reassured him I wasn't. Please don't be mad.' I say.

'It's too late, I'm so mad with you.' Hannah says as she stands, I try and get up to follow but she stops me. 'I need to be alone right now. Just leave me be.'

'Hannah…..'

'No Matt. I've just said I need to be alone. Please respect that before I end up saying something I might regret.' She says as I look at her. My heart twists and I lie back and close my eyes. After a couple of minutes Mia touches my shoulder.

'Matt, here's your juice. Where's Hannah?' Mia asks.

'I don't know.' I say as I take the glass from her. 'She's mad with me.'

Mia raises her eyebrows at me before saying. 'Matt, people are never mad with you for long no matter what you have done.' I look at her and drink my juice. 'You need to sort it out before dinner.'

'Why?' I say.

'Because it will be awkward sat between the pair of you if you're not talking and also I know what you're like, you'll be too upset to eat.' Mia states. 'You'll then not sleep and will be sat on the piano all night so that you'll be ill again tomorrow and miss yet another hospital appointment. Go and find her and sort it out.'

'No, she said to leave her alone otherwise she might say something she regrets. I think I've really messed up this time.' I say.

'Oh Matt you do worry about things.' Mia says as her phone rings. 'Christian' she adds as she raises her eyebrows.

'He's only just left.' I mutter.

'Hi Christian' 'Yes we'll all fine and not missing you.' 'He's good' Mia says and I look at her and smile. 'Of course he's fine.' 'No he's not playing the piano he's sat on a sun lounger next to me.' 'Hang on.' She says and then looks at me. 'Do you want to talk to Christian?' I nod and she hands me the phone.

'We've just arrived at the airport and I wanted to make sure you were OK.' Christian says.

'I'm good.' I say.

'But….' He says. How does he know that not all is OK?

'But Hannah is mad with me.' I say.

'Why?' he asks.

'I'm not saying.' I say.

'It's because of what happened earlier when I came into the bedroom and she's mad because of what you told me.' He says and again I wonder how he knows and then he answers the question that's in my head. 'I know because it's the only thing that she could be mad with you about because you haven't spent much time together today. Am I right?'

'Yes.' I mutter quietly.

'Don't worry. I'll call her quickly now. Text you later little bro.' he says and clicks off as I hear Elliot in the background shouting 'Laters Matt.' I don't even get chance to reply. I hand the phone back to Mia.

'He's calling Hannah.' I say.

'It's that bad between the two of you that Christian needs to sort it out.' Mia says. I nod. 'Oh Matt, I'm sorry I didn't realise.' She adds before enveloping me in a hug.

'I'd better go and find her.' I say. 'If I don't sort it out the vacation could be over.' I stand and head towards the beach as this was the direction that Hannah took off in. As I pass by the pool I notice that Sawyer is following me and I wonder if anyone followed Hannah. I can see her sat on the sand close to the ocean. She's still on the phone, Andrews is in the distance and he nods at Sawyer. As Hannah clicks the phone off she turns and I stop momentarily. She looks so beautiful. I start to walk towards her again, slowly. I'm nervous as I'm worried about her reaction. She watches my every move until I'm stood next to her. Eventually I sit and pull my knees to my chest as if to protect myself.

'I'm sorry.' I say.

'That was Christian on the phone, how did he know I was mad with you? Did you call him?' Hannah says. She's still angry.

'No.' I mutter. 'He called Mia to check I was OK and then he just knew that something was wrong. I don't know how he does it but he just knows stuff. Has Christian phoning you made the situation worse?' I ask

'No but you can't get him to sort out all our battles. Matt there's some things that I'd rather keep between the two of us.' Hannah says.

'I know and I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to say anything it just came out when he was lecturing me about taking risks.' I say as I glance sideways to see her reaction. She's watching me intently.

'I got mad with him too.' She says and smiles at me. I smile back shyly. 'He said if I'd had enough of the Grey family he would hold the jet and take me back to Seattle tonight.' My eyes widen in fear and I almost stop breathing. My heart is hammering in my chest. Hannah takes my hand. 'It's OK, your brothers will have taken off by now.' She smiles at me and I don't know what to say. 'Matt say something.'

'You still want to be here with me.' I manage to stutter.

'I've scared you.' She says. I nod. 'I'm sorry but I was so mad with you.'

'I know, can I hug you?' I ask and she nods and smiles. She moves so that she is sitting in between my legs once more and I pull her close to me. With one hand on the flat of her stomach and the other on her breast I kiss the back of her neck.

'Matthew Grey, not here. We have security watching.' Hannah warns.

'They'll turn the other way.' I mutter as my mouth finds her ear lobe.

'Photographer.' She says and I stop.

'Shall we walk back up to the house?' I say.

'Yes.' She says so I stand and then take her hand to pull her up. She tugs me and I lose my balance. I fall awkwardly as I try not to land on top of her. I roll over so that I'm lying on my back and Hannah now leans over me in concern. 'Are you OK?'

'Yes.' I mutter

'I don't know my own strength.' Hannah says with a grin.

'You caught me at a weak moment. If you weren't so scared of the water I'd drop you in the ocean right now.' I say with a smirk. 'Are you going to let me help you up properly this time?'

'Ok.' She says as I stand and take her arm. I wince as I pull her up. 'Have you hurt something?'

'My arms a bit sore from where I landed on it. It will be OK.' I say as I take her hand and we walk back up the beach and through the garden.

'Friends again?' Mia asks as we approach the terrace.

'Yes.' I say and smirk at Hannah.

'Good' Mia says as we settle back down on the lounger next to her.

'I spoke to Josie earlier, they are planning on going to a club on Saturday night and she asked if we wanted to join them.' Hannah says.

'Yessss.' Squeals Mia. 'Sorry, am I invited as well?'

'Yes of course Mia.' Hannah says. 'Matt, what do you think?'

'Only on one condition.' I say. Mia looks at me open-mouthed and Hannah turns to look at me.

'No alcohol.' I say.

'Matt, that's not fair.' Mia says.

'Mia, you're the only one of legal age. We can have a few drinks before we go but nothing whilst we're out.' I say.

'You're more controlling than Christian, he would buy it for me.' Mia states.

'I don't care, if you want to come out with us then that's the rules. We'll be under scrutiny as it is and if one person at the table is drinking then you can guarantee that the press will write a story about us all drinking. I'll have a word with Jonty as well because I know he'll try and get you to buy some Mia.' I say.

'And if I don't agree.' Mia says.

'Then you don't come out with us.' I say.

'That's harsh.' Mia says.

'Mia please, it's only for a couple of hours. I want you to come with us and as Matt said we can have something before we go and even when we get back.' Hannah says.

'OK but are you going to spoil all the fun on this vacation.' Mia says with a pout.

'No, I'm just being cautious. It's the first time I'll have been out since the story broke. I can't take any chances and we will have security with us.' I say firmly. I put my head down, shit I feel bad.

'Matt, it's ok. We'll still have a good time.' Mia says as she touches my shoulder and kisses the top of my head. 'I'm going to shower before dinner and see if I've got anything to wear otherwise I might have to go shopping tomorrow.' As she goes into the house I hug Hannah.

'Do you think I'm being unreasonable?' I ask her.

'No. At least you didn't just put a stop to us going. We'll have fun.' Hannah says.

'Have you been to a club before?' I ask.

'Yes, lots of times, there's usually a big group of us from school.' Hannah says.

'I've never been to one.' I mutter.

'Not even with Christian, Elliot or Mia.' Hannah says in surprise.

'No. They've always just gone without me because up till now I've always been considered too young.' I say.

'The baby in the family.'

'Yes.' I say. 'I don't even know what I should wear.'

'Clothes.' Hannah says and I start to tickle her as punishment.

'I know that.' I say as she giggles and tries to get away.

'But do I wear jeans and polo shirt or do I have to wear smart stuff.'

'Smart stuff.' She replies.

'Are you sure?' I ask.

'Yes, you'll look hot in smart trousers and a jacket.' She says.

'I don't want to look hot I just want to fit in. I don't care what people think.' I say. 'Well apart from you.'

'For me it's smart clothes then. I'll be wearing a dress.' Hannah says.

'I'm having doubts already about going and it's two days away.' I mutter.

'Relax, it will be great. We can dance together.' Hannah says.

'We can dance together here.' I say and kiss her cheek.

'Matt, trust me, you'll have a good time. Will you play the piano for me before dinner?' Hannah asks.

'I could play the guitar and then we can stay out here.' I say.

'You can play it already' Hannah says.

'Of course, I used to practise on Elliot's when he was out with his friends. That's why I didn't play whilst he was here because he would have known, I'd already passed his standard by the time I was ten. Let me go and get it and I'll sing to you.' I say as I stand.

'Wow, you surprise me all the time.' Hannah says.

'Always baby.' I say as I kiss her head and make my way inside.
