They arrive at Viviannes

(Ellie is wearing one of Leahs Arsenal shirts with black leggings and black Nike Airforces with a white Nike hoodie) (Leah is wearing a black Adidas shirt with black tracksuit bottoms and Ellies white Nike Airforces and Ellies baggie Superdry hoodie)

They walk up to the door

Ellie knocks on the door

Leah: * nervous*
Ellie: * grabs her hand and squeezes it* It's ok Le.

Vivianne opens the door

Vivianne: * smiles* Hello love. * hugs Ellie*
Ellie: * chuckles and hugs back* Hiya Gran.

They break apart

Vivianne: You must be Leah.
Leah: * smiles a little* Hi. Yeah I am.
Vivianne: * hugs her* Lovely to finally meet you.
Leah: * hugs back* You too.

They go inside and are met with Harry and others (Ellies cousin - Sammy (her Bass Guitarist - and Aunt - Tina - and Uncle - Andrew/Fred)

Sammy: Alright cuz?
Ellie: * smiles* Alright. Uh Aunt Tina and Uncle Fred this is Leah.
Andrew: I've heard lots about you. * shakes Leahs hand* Nice to meet you lovey.

Ellie introduces Leah to everyone

They have some cups of tea and hot chocolate (Leah had a hot chocolate made by Ellie and everyone else has tea)

Ellie gives Leah her hot chocolate (with whipped cream and marshmallows just how she likes it)

Leah: Thanks darlin'.
Ellie: No problem.

They chat for a bit until Ellies phone rings

It's Amanda

Ellie: Sorry I've gotta take this. I'll be right back.

Ellie goes outside

She answers

Over the phone:

Ellie: Hi Amanda what's up?
Amanda: Hey Ellie. Just wondering if you could do a photo shoot for British Vogue?
Ellie: Yeah I'd love to. When is it?
Amanda: Next weekend.
Ellie: Sounds great. Thanks Amanda.
Amanda: I know you get anxious about these things sometimes but I just want you to know that I'll be there and there's no pressure. If you really feel uncomfortable tell me and we'll deal with it ok?
Ellie: Yeah ok. Thank you Mands.
Amanda: No problem. Have a good week and I'll see you next weekend.
Ellie: You too. See you. Bye.
Amanda: Bye.

Ellie hangs up and goes back inside already feeling the anxiety within her coming out (getting a tight chest and shaking a little)

She goes to her room and slams the door

Harry: What was that about?
Vivianne: Go check on her will you Harry?
Harry: Yeah I'm on it Gran don't worry.

Harry goes upstairs

He knocks on the door

Harry: Squash its me. Can I come in?

No answer

With Ellie

She's curled up on the floor against the door having a panic attack

Harry knocks again

Harry: Ellie? I'm worried what's wrong?
Ellie: * cries and hyperventilates*
Harry: I'll let you be. But talk to me when your ready ok?

Harry leaves

Downstairs

Harry walks back down

Harry: She won't open her door. I think she's having a panic attack.
Sammy: Shit. Not again.
Leah: What?
Sammy: Gran want me to go help her?
Vivianne: Yes please.
