Harry then leaves with a bowl of cereal

About an hour later Harry and Ellie have picked up Isla, Noelle, Brendon, Thommy, Poppy, Abbie, Dani along with her fiancé Simon, Ami and Harriet

They're all at Ellies and are nearly ready to leave for Viviannes funeral

(Ellie is wearing her prom dress with black vans and a black baggy, ripped, off the shoulder (so it's showing her left shoulder) bomber jacket) (her hair is tied in a slicked back mid-high pony tail and curled)

Everyone else are in black suits and dresses

Ellie let's Riker out before they leave and feeds her

They then all get in the car with Ellies driver Thomas who offered to take them all to the funeral to help out and along side Thomas is John who also offered to help out

They arrive and welcome people before finding their seats

Beth, Viv, Katie, Alessia, Ella, Keira and Georgia are there to support Ellie along with Adele, Dua Lipa, Taylor, Freya Ridings, Jesy, Tom Holland, Birdie Holland, Emma Watson, Bonnie Wright, Georgie, Haley and the 1D boys (Liam, Niall and Louis)

Vivianne is brought in (in the casket they chose for her) by Thommy, John, Thomas, Brendon, Harry and a family friend from Ireland, Neil, to the song Rolling In The Deep which is sung by Adele

After they put the casket in its place and all sit down the Priest begins his speech and talks about Vivianne

Harry hears the door open and close and turns around to see none other than their Dad, Desmond and their youngest sister, Lexie

Harry: * sighs* Shit.
Ellie: * quietly to Harry* What is it?
Harry: He's here.

Ellie looks in direction of Desmond and Lexie

Ellie: I'm gonna kill him.
Harry: You can't. Your speech is up next.
Ellie: I don't care. He shouldn't be here. He wasn't invited. He was never there for us. He has no right to turn up now.
Harry: Just handle it later ok?
Ellie: No. I'm handling this now.
Noelle: Ellie don't. He just wants a reaction.
Ellie: He's getting one.
Isla: Ells please.
Ellie: No. I'm not having this.

Ellie then gets up and storms to the back and drags Desmond outside

Harry, Leah and Sammy follow

Outside:

Ellie: * shoves Desmond* What makes you think you have any right to be here?!
Desmond: I came because she was family.
Ellie: Bullshit. You never cared about anyone apart from yourself! You've come here for money haven't you?
Desmond: Such a little bitch.
Ellie: I'm not scared of you Desmond.
Harry: Ellie stop.
Desmond: * tauntingly* Aww.... Look at that. Families all together again.
Ellie: * clenches her jaw and fists* Shut up before I make you prick.
Desmond: * chuckles* Your too weak.
Ellie: * steps forward, into his space and gets in his face* You wanna bet? I'll have you down in seconds.

Leah goes over to Ellie

Leah: * grabs Ellies arm* Ellie just leave it. Come back inside. He isn't worth this.
Ellie: Fine. * to Desmond* I'll deal with you later.
Desmond: Who's this? Your girlfriend? She's cute. I'd fuck her.

Ellie then punches Desmond right in nose making him stumble back and holding his nose which is now broken

Ellie: * steps forward into his space again* Say that again I dare you.
Desmond: * sneers* Alright. I'd. Fuck. Her.

Ellie then punches him harder this time, knocking him down and kicks him repeatedly about 5 times before Harry stops her and takes her away

Ellie: Harry get off of me!!!!
Harry: No Ellie! Your making a scene. And Lexies watching us.
Ellie: * hyperventilates, has tears in her eyes, grunts and tries escaping his graps*
Harry: Go take a break. Somewhere that's not here.

Ellie leaves for a walk and curls up against the wall near the church with her head in her hands

Leah finds her and sits opposite her

Leah: Hey. You ok?
Ellie: * nods no*
Leah: I'm sorry about your Dad being here.
Ellie: Don't be. Not your fault. But Leah you should go. I'm not good right now.
Leah: I'm not leaving you Ellie.
Ellie: * sighs* It's hard enough having to say goodbye to Gran. I don't need him here too.
Leah: Can you tell me about your Dad?
Ellie: He's neglected me and Harry since we were born. He left when we were about 10 with a newborn sister, Lexie. She's now about 10-13. We visited when we found out he was near us. Well I did. Harry didn't want to know. I went. Right from when I walked in I could tell he didn't want me there. He has a girlfriend. And they've raised Lexie. All I thought was..... "Why couldn't he have done this for me?". He mentally and physically abused me. That's probably why I've had toxic relationships in the past. He effected me in a way no one else has. He made me feel small, like I was nothing. * voice breaks and starts crying* Seeing him and talking to him just brought back all the times he'd treated me like he had. It made me want nothing more than to have Gran with me. To reassure me that it'll be ok. But she's not here.
Leah: * hugs her*
Ellie: * hugs back*
