The Family

There is a silence, none of us say anything waiting for something to happen. I close my eyes and see Ace and smile. I need him, he will find me.

Geanie begins to sob into me, "shhh Geanie it's fine." Harlow says and I hug then tighter.

"Eiffel." I hear the voice of my dreams and my head shoots up. I see Ace stood in front of me. I pull away from the girls and Geanie grips me tighter.

"Geanie it's fine you can let go." I say my voice is sore and hurts to talk. Geanie untangles herself from me and Ace wraps his arms around me.

"Guys I found them." He shouts into the other room and i wince from the loud noise. "Sorry baby. I got you." He says and pulls my body closer to his.

He begins to stand up and my legs feel like jelly but I can't stop Ace I just need to get out of here. Ace picks me up in the bridal position and carries me out the room.

"Please never leave me again." I cry and Bury my head into Aces chest. My whole body aches but I'm so happy to have Ace with me.

"I won't. Ever." He says and I cry into his chest. I'm crying out of relief, I just need Ace. He stops walking and looks down at me and his thumb brushes I've met bottom lip and i wince in panic and he apologises and kisses my forehead.

"I'm so sorry Eiffel, I don't know how he got there." Ace says as he continues walking out the building. He holds me close and I just close my eyes and focus on being in Aces arms.

Ace carries me into a car and sits with me on his knee and shortly after Harlow and Antonio get into the car.

"Why did he not hurt you or Geanie and only Eiffel." Antonio questions as he hugs Harlow and she begins to cry again.

"He said, it would get to Ace more if he hurt Eiffel." Harlow cries and I just bury my head into Aces chest and he rubs my back and I flinch but then relax again.

"She didn't wake up for like two days me and Geanie thought..." Harlow trails off and cries.

"Hey I'm ok don't worry." I say and she stops crying.

"Did he touch you." Ace asks and I shake my head and he lets out a sigh.

I fall asleep in Aces arms while I'm in the car. I can feel my body moving but I can't wake up. I see him. Xavier he's there in front of me and I scream but nothing happens. He just looks down at me with his wicked smirk and I scream in his face.

He grabs Geanie and I cry out No and then I bolt awake. I am still in Aces arms in the car. "Shhh I've got you your safe." He says and kisses my head.

"You'll be ok E, remember they went away and they will again." Ace says and I nod and try to catch my breath.

"Eiffel calm down. The Killian nightmares went when you started seeing Ace and these will too now your around him." Harlow says and my breathing normalises.

"They went away because of Ace. Damn that face gives me nightmares never mind take them away." Antonio laughs and I giggle.

"Leave him alone I happen to like his face." I say and kiss his lips. He just brings my body even closer to his and I smile.

"Ok I have something to tell you guys. It's nit the right timing but." I look at Harlow and instantly know what she is about to say.

"I'm pregnant." She says and I smile at her. I look up to see Aces face and it's either in shock or he's laughing at Antonio's face.

The car stops and I look out the window to see we are at me and Aces house. Antonio opens the door for Ace and Ace steps out the car with me in his arms.

Ace places me on the ground and I walk through the door. I look around and the house is clean, when I was dragged out there was glass everywhere and the furniture was flipped over. I walk up the stairs and lace my hands with Aces, we walk into the bed room and I don't say anything.

"I love you Ace." I say and he turns to look at me.

"I know baby I know. I love you too." Ace replies and I look at the floor. He removes his tie and begins to unbutton his shirt. "Eiffel I'm so sorry I didn't find you sooner. We looked everywhere." He says and sits in the bed and looks at the ground.

"Hey. Don't do that." I say making my way over to him. I straddle his waist and wince but ignore the pain. "Don't you found me Ace, you found me before anything bad happened so don't beat yourself up about it neither of us knew this was going to happen." I say and he looks up at me and I take his face in between my hands.

I kiss his lips and he wraps his arms around my waist pulling me close to him. After a while I let go and stand up, I walk into the bathroom and look in the mirror.

I have a hand print on my neck and my lip is bust I have a small purple bruise on my check, my arms and legs are covered in small bruises cuts and blood. My hair is messy and my makeup is smeared all over my face.

I take a makeup wipe and begin to remove the makeup carful is the sensitive areas, in the corner of my eye I see Ace start to run a bath and I smile. He adds bubble and roses and even lights a candle and I just smile watching him.

After I've removed all my makeup I brush my teeth and try to tame my hair but it just looks even worse, I continue doing my hair until it is straight but it kinda hurt getting all the knots out.

I turn around and see Ace sat in the each of the bath with his just his suit pants on, he has one hand in the water and I think he's testing the temperature.

"I'll go tell Claire to make you something to eat" Ace says in a caring voice and leaves the room. I undress and get into the bath and wince from the water hitting my cuts.

I pull my knees up to my chest and hug them, I'm scared. I'm scared of Xavier. I'm not sure if Ace got him or not and that terrifies me.

I am broken from my train of though when Ace sits in the side of the bath and rubs my back, I flinch but then realise who it is.

I lean my head on his lap and he strokes my hair. I move my legs and wince in pain and he realises. He picks up the cloth on the side of the bath and wets it and brings it to my face. He runs the soft fabric across my bottom lip and I screw my eyes shut.

Aces eyes lock with mine and I see a tear escape his eye and I bring my hand up to his face and wipe it away. "I thought I lost you." He says as he brushed the cloth over my lip still.

"I'm right here Ace. You'll never lose me. I'm yours always." I say and he smiles and leans down and kisses my lip softly to avoid the cut.
