Tatum's POV:

So we went to the police and told them everything. We pressed charges against him and the police will be on the look and the case is opened up again. The police also said that they don't think we have to be worried because, he didn't approach Cassie at the park. They said that he probably doesn't even know she's here,but I don't believe it. I have a real bad feeling about this. When I just think about him,I get chills.

After that we went out for lunch and dropped Cassie off at the orphanage so that she can be with the other kids for a while to take her mind off of things.

Brandon and I came back to the hotel,but he had to leave soon after again because of an important meeting at work.

So I'm here on my own. What to do?

I get up from the couch and head to the kitchen. One thing my father has always told me is that food is the answer to everything and I completely agree. He's a great dad. I miss him. Well maybe we'll sort things out in the future.

I start melting dark chocolate in a pot and search through the cupboards for snacks.
We have marshmallows, oreos and strawberries.

While the chocolate melts I head into the bedroom to change into something more comfortable.

Once the chocolate has melted I head into the room with my chocolate fondue and place it on the bedside table. I grab my laptop and set it in front of me.

I can watch this show over and over again. Love island UK is my favourite by far. When I was in high school I used to tell Brandon that when I turn 23 I want to be a contestant on love island.

"I think it's all a big act."Hannah says talking to Jess about Naomi and Josh.

Josh is beyond doubt more into Naomi then she is with him. I think that Naomi is just playing it safe with him.Naomi is a player. I always knew that there was something up with her the first time she arrived in the villa and Jess got mugged off by two boys, because of Naomi. Now that is real shitty, but everything worked out in the end though.Naomi got dumped off the island and Jessica Hayes won the first season of love island. Love island's OG's. Sometimes the boys are really inconsiderate of Jessica's feelings especially Max and Josh.I understand that it's just for banter sometimes, but they have no filter whatsoever when speaking to her and I find it really disrespectful. She didn't deserve to be treated like that.

The drama of love island just never ends. I heard that the new season of love island will be filmed in Cape Town South Africa. They say that the new Villa in South Africa is much bigger than the original villa. I can't wait to see it and I can't wait to see the new contestants. I think that this is my favourite Brits show by far.

Samuel's POV:

If the circumstances were different this would have been a beautiful moment,but it's not. I sigh bringing myself back to reality.

I look to my side where Sabrina is peacefully sleeping.

Why did I do it? I know that last night is gonna cause a whole lot of problems for me. Sabrina's going to think that this means something that it doesn't. She's a temptress.
I should have resisted her and left like I do other times. I don't know why I didn't just leave last night. I'm the creator of my own calamity.
I'm completely messed up. I can't even think straight. There's thoughts going around my head on whether I should give Sabrina another chance or not. What if I give her another chance. Will she do it again? Or will she learn from her mistakes?

No. I can't think like this. She slept with my god damn best friend. I'd be an idiot to let her do that to me again.

Out of frustration I stand up from my bed abruptly,causing Sabrina to stir around in bed. I silently make my way to bathroom and get into the shower. If a cold shower can't straighten my head, nothing can.

I get into the glass cubicle and turn the cold water tap allowing the cold water to flow over me. Once the water collides with my skin I flinch because of the sudden contact with coldness, but I soon after relax.

I can't be here when Sabrina wakes up. I don't know what to say to her. I think it's also guilt,because to her it would feel like I'm using her. I'm not that kind of person,but I'll never get back with Sabrina.

Last night was a mistake. She's tempting and that's why I did it.

I turn the shower off, step out and start drying myself and getting dressed.

I head out of the bathroom and see that Sabrina is still sleeping.

I make my way to the door without making a sound as I open the door I'm stopped in my tracks by Sabrina's raspy voice.

"Sam, where are you going?"She asks.

I turn around to face her.

"I'm going out."I say bluntly.

She rubs her eyes adapting to the morning light.

She clears her throat and looks at me:"Come back to bed."

Exactly what I was afraid of.

"Sabrina. Last night was a one time thing. It's never going to happen again. It was a mistake. We could never get back together."I say.

She's suddenly wide awake and sits up straight.

"Well last night it didn't seem like a mistake."She says pointedly.

"Sabrina you wanted it as much as I did,but it doesn't change anything."I say.

"Exactly you wanted it too, so why can't we just be together again?If you can have sex with me, you can give me another chance!"

"Yeah Sabrina and if you can cheat on me, you can do it again."I say getting more and more aggravated thinking about what they did.

"I won't do it again Samuel. I love you."

Every time I here those words come from her mouth I cringe in disgust.

"Here we go again."I mumble to myself.

I take a deep breath in and let it out as I walk towards Sabrina. I sit down next to her on the bed.

"Okay look Sabrina. I don't want to fight with you anymore. I just wanna move on_"I start and she tries to cut me off but I don't let her.

"No listen.I want to move on, but in the sense of us not being together. I'll never be able to forget what you did and I know that if I give you another chance I'll always be questioning you about everything. I don't want a relationship where I'm going to have to watch every step you make. I want to be able to trust the person that I'm with,but I can't trust you Sabrina."

"Then give me a chance to regain your trust."She says a little quieter this time.

"I can't. We can't be together. We're not meant for each other. You'd be better with someone else and so will I."I say and get up from where I was sitting and head towards the door.

"Sam_"She says, but I cut her off.

"No, just...think about what I said."I say and walk out the door leaving Sabrina with her thoughts.

I unlock the front door to head on out and once I've closed the door from the outside and turn around to go to my car somebody else shows up. Great. Thank you universe for starting my weekend like this.

"Jacob what do you want?"I ask not having the energy to deal with both of them today. Although,Jacob really looks messed up, he doesn't seem like his normal self. I can see by the dark circles around his eyes that he hasn't been sleeping much.
He looks verily pale too.

"Can we talk?"He asks.His voice sounding dried out and rough.

"You know that I have nothing to say to you. So why bother?"I say coldly.

"But I have something to say to you."He says.

I make my way to my car unlocking it and opening the drivers side door.

"Jacob, your head isn't in the right place right now.So I think you should sleep it off and then maybe we can talk tomorrow.I have somewhere to be."I say and get in my car then drive off before he can say anything else. Can you blame me for giving him the cold shoulder?

I make my way to Joe's place. As I wait for the elevator to stop on his floor,I started to get this sudden urge to see Grace. Maybe I should go see her, but what would I say?What if Brandon is there with her? It will just make things awkward,but if I don't I'll be wondering what if I did go. I'm snapped out of my thoughts by the elevator coming to a stop.

I walk out of the elevator and into the hallway.

Tatum's POV:

Whilst enjoying love island and fondue a disruption grabs my attention. Someone's knocking on the door. Great timing I was just getting into the episode where Naomi is dumped from the island due to the votes from viewers.

I get up from my comfy spot and head to the door. Maybe it's Katherine.

I unlock the door and open up to see none other then the one person I'm trying to avoid.

"Samuel?"

"Hey."He says awkwardly.

"Uh...Come on in."I say and step aside to let him in. He nods and then enters.

I lead him to the living area.

"Sit down. Can I get you something to drink?"I ask.

"No thanks. I'm okay."He says.

I sit down on the couch opposite Samuel.

"So what can I do for you today?"I ask trying to be as polite as possible.

"I just came here to check up on you."He says and I lightly nod.

"Why would you need to check up on me?"I ask waiting curiously for his answer.

"I just wanted to know how you are."He says.

"Well I'm good and pretty much capable of taking care of myself."

"Oh I know."He says.

"What about you?"I ask.

"I'm great really."He says. He's staring at me intensely like he wants to say something, but struggles with it.

"Good to know."I say. I watch him intently trying to read him, but somehow I can't. Well he was always hard to read sometimes.

"Okay I can't."He mumbles and stands up abruptly making his way towards me and then sits right next to me.

The closeness makes me a bit uncomfortable.

I clear my throat and shift uncomfortably.

"Y...You can't what?"I stutter.

"Grace. I don't know why but I feel like we have a connection. Like we're on a different plane of emotions and I know that you feel it too."He says and I try cutting him off.

"Sam I_"

"That night when we kissed. I felt like I was gliding above the clouds. It was the best feeling I've ever had in a while and I know that you're with Brandon, but are you happy. Can you look me in the eye and honestly tell me that you're happy?"He asks.

He's words really caught me off guard.

"How am I supposed to look you in the eye when you keep staring at me like that?"

For God's sake.I know that I'm probably red as a tomato right now.

"You don't have to answer me right now, but maybe I can do something to make you more sure of your answer."He says and gets tantalisingly close.

Before I could move away or say something he grabs my face and presses his lips to mine.For a moment I relax into the warm kiss missing those moments we used to have,but I quickly gather myself up enough for me to pull away.

"Samuel."Is all I can say. My heart rate has definitely shot up.

I take a moment to collect myself before speaking:"I can't be with you Sam. I love Brandon and I barely even know you. You barely even know me."

"We can get to know each other and I want you just the way you are."He says taking my hands into his. His words make me think. He wouldn't want me after everything. I think about my unborn child, Cassie and Brandon.

"Samuel I can't.I don't know what it is or why you feel this way,but we can never be together."I say pulling my hands away from him and getting up from my seat.

He stands up as well ready to answer back but I stop him.

"Don't...Don't say anything.Can you please just leave."I say crossing my arms over my chest.

"Grace. I know you feel the same way and_"

"Look in sorry if that day made you felt or makes you think that we can be together but we can't."I say.

"Why Grace? Why can't we?"He asks and my patience is running thin with every second that passes by.

"Sam I'm pregnant!"I blurt out before even realising what I said. Great Grace, just great. God I don't even know who I am anymore!
Well this should surely make him leave and let it go.

"You're pregnant?"He asks a bit stunned. He's lost for words and looks taken aback. Yep, he's going to leave.

"I...I"He stutters.

"I don't care."He says.

"What?"I ask and he looks me straight in the eyes.

"I don't care, I want you as you are. I'll love the kid as much as I love you."He says. Hearing those words almost made my heart stop.

"But you don't even know me."

"I feel like I do."He says.

"Sam don't...don't analyse me. You won't like what you'll find."I say turning away from him,not being able to face him.

"Grace please_"

"Stop.Just Stop!"I cut him off.

"What are you afraid of?"He asks.

"Samuel just go."I say basically pleading for him to leave. He's messing with my head.

He doesn't say anything and nods.

"Fine."He says and leaves.

I close the door behind him and lean with my back against it to keep myself up.

I let a long breath out. I run my fingers through my hair is hopes of calming down a bit.

I slide down and sit on the floor with my knees pulled up against my chest and wrap my arms around myself.

I didn't ask for this. It's not fair. Tears start slipping down my cheeks. All I want is a simple life. Is that too much to ask for? How long will I be able to handle this?

Why can't things just be normal? Normal is boring I get it, but right now I'd be so grateful with boring. Why can't I ever get anything right? It hurts me knowing I'm hurting him,but no matter what I do somebody is gonna get hurt.

What if I kill myself then I won't be here to see them getting hurt.My head is messed up and my heart is broken.I wish I can forget again. It was much easier to feel nothing then to feel this type of pain. I feel like brick walls are closing in on me. I feel...I wish I couldn't feel.

I hate lying to Samuel,but I guess that I just can't face the truth. I'm not brave enough. I feel so lost. There are so many ways that this could play out. When I think what if I tell Sam? I think back to 4 years ago, before the accident.How we left it. The things he said. It hurt so much. Thinking about it breaks my heart more.

I would lie if I said that I don't still love him.

There would just be more drama, if I go back to him. I need to let him go. He needs to let me go. My situation is much bigger than just Him and I.

I wipe my tears and get up from the floor.I head into the kitchen and chug down a tall glass of cold water. It calm me down a bit. I shouldn't worry about it. I should let my soul heal itself.I just have to silence my mind.

Anonymous POV:

"And?"I ask waiting for him to continue.

"Boss.I have a slight problem it's not really a problem."

"Go on then."I urge him to continue speaking.

"Cassie."

"What about her?"I ask.

"They're in contact."

"Now isn't that coincidental,but what difference does this make?"I ask slightly annoyed.

"It doesn't I just thought you should know."He says.

"We can actually use this to our  advantage."I say coming up with a solid plan.

"What's are you thinking?"He asks and I smirk.

I inform and explain the plan to him  in full detail. This is too easy.

"You better get this right."I say strictly slamming my hand onto the table.

"Of course I will."He smirks.

"Remember you have to leave the body on a place where it's easy to find, but not too easy so that it doesn't look too suspicious."

"Don't worry I got this."He says and I nod.

"You can go now. I'm not paying you to sit here all day. Do it as soon as possible."I instruct.
