Tessa’s POV
The second I opened my eyes this morning I had jumped out of bed with thoughts of seeing and comforting my friend.
I showered and pulled on a fresh change of clothes before instinctively grabbing spare stuff to take to Erin in case she needs to change.
I rush towards the door – grabbing the handle with my free hand twist it before swinging it open to be met with a hard chest.
I am knocked backwards to the ground, with the clothes spilling out everywhere as result. “Here’s me thinking you had slept in!” I hear Kanes voice laugh loudly, before he bends forward and grips my elbow pulling me back up to standing.
“Nope! Today is a g–good day!” I confirm, gathering up the clothes once again before exiting the room and having him follow behind me his face filled with amusement.
He allows me to walk on for a few minutes; before I pause at the top of the grand staircase and turn back to face him.
“Lost?” He mocks with a raised brow, as I glare playfully at him.
For a moment there I forgot that this wasn’t actually my home…
She’s in a room downstairs.” He informs me, as I smile and begin my descent happily – each step bringing me closer to my best friend.
At least today she will be waking up in a warm comfy bed!
As I reach the bottom, I step aside to let Kane bypass me before I follow him in the direction of her current room.
“This door… I’ll give you your privacy but I want to see you both at breakfast in twenty!” He instructs checking his expensive wrist watch as I nod and playfully salute him with my free hand.
“Yes sir!” I confirm, as he smirks and shakes his head – going off towards the dining room.
Let’s just hope I can find it from here this place was like a whole damn maze!
I knock twice on the door gently, before trying the handle to find it to be open. “In the bathroom.” I hear a soft voice call from behind a locked door, as I close the main door to her room and sit on the bed to wait.
Moments pass, before a click is heard, before she pokes her towel covered head out first.
“Oh my god! Tessa!” She cries out, her whole face lighting up as does mine at the sight of her. She rushes out, wearing a thin dressing gown which had probably already been in the bathroom for her before she attacks me in a tight hug – collapsing us both back and on to the bed.
–
“I’m so happy you’re here!” I confirm, my eyes watering at seeing her look fresh faced and happy again.
“I’m just really glad to have had a shower you know…” Erin confirms as I smile gently understanding that this must be a lot to digest from what she’s been through.
“Here! I brought you clothes!” I state, handing, her the bundle as her eyes light up and she rushes back to the bathroom to dr
wait another moment, tidying up the bedding again since we had crushed and crumbled it all – before Erin exits back out looking like her normal self again… almost!

Chapter 56
“I’m so glad Seth done what he done…” I breathe out, as she takes moment to sit down on the edge of the bed beside me grabbing a small hairbrush she had found before raking it through her tugs and knots. (2)
“Me too… it was a true miracle when he said he would be back to help me…” She admits, pulling the brush through each strand until it were detangled.
“Kane said he’s going to deal with Leo you know… I’m not sure what exactly that means… but I know that he’s not happy with him.” I inform my friend, as her face falls ever so slightly at the mention of the abusive drunk man in question.
“You don’t think that… they will send me back with him do you? I’d father die…” Erin sighs, as I shake my head furiously and take both her hands in mine- giving her a squeeze of reassurance.
“No way! Seth wouldn’t let that happen either! I actually think he set of likes you Erin…” My smile grows as I update my friend on my suspicious, seeing her face grow flustered shortly after.
