Warning Sexual content

Aden came around and felt groggy. Bright sunshine shone down and warmed his face. He heard voices in the distance.

“Time of death 11.15am,” Sid said sadly, his head bowed.

“NO!” Aden shouted. He scrambled to his feet. He threw himself at Belle who lay on the sand motionless.

“Sorry Aden, she’s gone.”

“No I refuse to believe that. I know she’s not gone, I just know it,” Aden said. He leant over Belle and placed his mouth over hers and breathed air into her mouth.

With his eyes shut tight he begged for what the Reaper had told him to be true and not for it to be a trick. All he ever wanted was to live happily with Belle, maybe with a couple of kids, grow old together, give her the wedding she dreamed of and make her feel like a princess like she deserved. Despite Sid’s advice to let Belle go, Aden willed her to live with each breath he gave her.

Aden pulled back from Belle giving himself time to recover. He caught his breath. He was really tired. He collapsed next to Belle crying. It seemed like Belle was dead. Aden had been tricked. This was the second time he had lost her and it felt as painful this time as it had last time. What was he going do now. He didn’t know. These thoughts continued invading his mind.

“Aden,” said a voice he knew. He looked up and saw Belle smiling weakly back at him. “You saved me didn’t you?”

Aden didn’t say anything, all he could do was kiss her. The tender feel of her lips against his was electrifying. Her wet hair felt like silk as his hand gently caressed it

Belle didn’t hold back when Aden kissed her, although she was shivering from being wet, she felt inner heat building as she got excited by the passion between them.

Aden wrapped her in a towel and picked her up. Everyone on the beach cheered. Aden thanked everyone for their help as he walked off holding Belle in his arms.

A few hours later Aden and Belle were relaxing on the sofa at Irene’s. Belle had just beaten Aden on Mario Kart wii. Irene had popped out to get them some food. Since she had gotten back from the city after Aden and Belle’s car accident, she could see how happy Aden and Belle had been together.

“Thank you Aden. You saved me again. First the car and now with me drowning,” she laughed. Aden stroked her hair, Belle’s head resting on his shoulder.

“I would do anything for you.”

“Oh really?” Belle said. She jumped up twirling a braid of her hair with a finger. She looked at Aden seductively.

“Why Belle, are you trying to seduce me?” Aden asked grinning.

“Maybe,” Belle laughed winking at him. Aden ran around the sofa trying to catch her. She ran off laughing.

“Catch me if you can,” she shouted teasingly. Aden dashed after her. He stopped at the bathroom door.

“Hey Belle, it’s not fair going in there, I can’t get you.”

“Oh you can come in lover boy.”

“Really I…”

“Yeah, just leave your boxers on the floor outside,” Belle laughed.

Aden was excited by her last remark as he stood there trying to work out if he was dreaming or not. He heard the sound of the shower being switched on.

She poked her head around the door.

“You coming in? I need help getting to those hard to reach places,” Belle said fluttering her eyelashes at him.

Aden didn’t need telling twice. He threw his clothes to the floor.

Aden stepped into the bathroom. Steam rose from shower. Aden bumped into the handrail at the side of the room. He was shocked and very turned on from what he saw; Belle’s bra hanging from the rail, further on up the rail were her underwear.

“Oh Aden come on in here,” she called.

“Yeah, err, sure thing,” Aden stammered.

“I need you to help me wash my soapy body.”

“Yeah be right there.” Aden gulped as the shower curtain was suddenly pulled back. Aden was pulled into an embrace. They kissed passionately as Aden gently guided Belle into the shower coming to rest at the wall. Aden was lost in the moment of lust, kissing Belle’s face and body. He moved down her soapy body slowly kissing her soft skin gently biting at her nipples, Belle groaned with pleasure.

“Aden stop,” she managed to gasp.

Aden rose to look at her face.

“Aden you’re not going to run off again when things start getting serious are you? Do you really want to be with me this time?”

“Yeah, everything will be fine from now on I promise,” Aden smiled.

“Aden make love to me,” Belle whispered. As their bodies mingled into each other Aden couldn’t believe how happy he felt.

“I’m home Darlin,” Irene shouted as she walked in. She was greeted by shouts and groans of hot sex going on in the bathroom.

“Aden’s here then Belle?”

“Sure is,” Belle groaned as they both reached climax.

“Glad you’re feeling better,” Irene said shaking her head laughing.

Here is the the next part hope you like it

and just so you know I haven,t seen the movie The Notebook so hope that part makes sense

Chapter 12

Irene coughed alerting both of them of her presence.

“Are you two going eat that or just poke it around your plate as you gaze into each others eyes?” she asked.

Aden and Belle slowly lifted their forks to their mouths.

“Sorry Irene,” they both answered, their eyes fixed on each other as they slowly chewed.

“Is it nice? It’s one of Leah’s new recipes. Pork balls in a tangy spicy sauce.”

“Sure Irene,” they both answered.

“Hey Aden, do you like the pork balls?” Belle giggled.

“I ask you the same question,” Aden said laughing with a raised eyebrow.

“Oh yes, nice and juicy thank you,” Belle said winking.

“They’re not the only…”

“Eww, I’m eating here guys.”

“Sorry Irene.”

“How was the shower you two? It sounded fun. Did it get steamy?” Irene asked with laughter in her voice.

“Err,” Belle stammered.

“Well Aden?” grinned Irene.

“You know what Irene? I’ll do the dishes,” Aden said. He nearly fell over with embarrassment.

“Why thank you Aden, that would be lovely.”

Aden dashed into the kitchen balancing the plates as best he could.

“Hey Belle marry this one, he’s a keeper.”

“Oh I know Irene,” Belle said grinning.

Later on that night

“Hey I don’t want to watch a chick flick,” Aden said. He laughed, stretching the dvd out of Belle’s reach.

“It’s got a couple of explosions in it,” Belle laughed. She reached across to Aden’s hand waving the dvd away from her.

“Yeah explosions of love,” Aden said.

“Hey Guys,” April said as she walked downstairs. “I need to watch this, it’s very important.”

“Oh why? Is the world going to end?” Aden asked rolling his eyes. A quick shiver went down his spine as he thought his last statement could be true with all the strange things which had happened to him lately. He quickly put those thoughts to the back of his mind as he tried to laugh it off.

“Oh, The Notebook, that’s a great film,” Belle said.

Aden groaned and rolled his eyes.

“Yeah me and Dex are doing a Blog on who cries the most at sad films, the male or the female. And seeing Aden’s here it’s perfect.”

The two girls turned to Aden and grinned.

“I’m not going to cry,” Aden said laughing at them. “Hey Irene is your TV 3D?”

“Nope, so you can’t hide your tears behind 3D glasses Aden,” she shouted back.

“No I’m not going to cry. I just think 3Ds really cool,” Aden protested.

“Yeah sure,” the two girls answered giggling.

“Hang on, I’ll get you two ladies a box of tissues.” Aden jumped up and rushed away in search of a box of tissues.

“He’s so going to cry isn’t he?” April said grinning.

“Like a baby,” Belle laughed.

“No I won’t,” Aden shouted from somewhere in the house.

“Aww, Noah’s so sweet. I hope Aille picks him and not her new fiancé. She’s got to be with her first love, they belong together. My God, The Notebook is so sad,” Belle said.

“I know,” April said. The two girls were sitting on the floor close to the tv.

Used tissues were scattered around the sofa.

“Hey babe, can we have a tissue?”

A tearful Aden sat on the sofa clutching the box.

“Hey babe, you’re not crying are you? Well we did warn you it was a tearjerker,” Belle laughed.

“Not crying, it must be hay fever,” Aden sobbed.

“That’s some bad hay fever you have. Wait until I tell Dex. This’ll be really good for our blog,” April laughed.

“You’ve been clutching the tissues all night,” Belle laughed.

A loud sob escaped Aden as he tried to ignore the two girls.

The girls burst out laughing as they turned back to the tv.

As the end credits ran and Aden cried like a baby, April left them to it. Belle snuggled up to her tearful boyfriend on the sofa.

“I love you Aden.” She tenderly touched his cheek before laying her head on his shoulder.

Aden smiled at her. “Even if I cry at sad movies?” he asked.

“I love it that you’re sensitive. You make me feel safe. You make me feel like anything is possible.”

“It is Belle. A girl like you can do anything. I bet you could be a famous photographer one day,” he said.

“I sure hope so Aden. I often felt like there was something missing in my life until you came along. Thank you for saving me from a not so complete life. Thank you for finding me.” Belle started to gently cry.

“Hey what’s wrong babe?” Aden asked.

“Oh it’s nothing, it’s just how much you make me feel; so much alive.”

Chapter 13

Six months later

“Is Nic online?” Belle asked.

“Nope, she’s not on Skype,” Aden said.

Aden felt disappointed. He wanted to ask Nicole something but he just put it down to her being busy with Angelo and trying for the baby she often talked to him about. He hadn’t spoken to her in a few weeks and he missed their online chats.

“Come here sexy,” Aden grinned at Belle.

“Babe you know I have to go to work,” Belle said grabbing hold of her camera.

“Oh just five more minutes,” Aden said pulling her into him.

“Bye Aden,” Belle said between kisses. “See you later babe. Oh hi Casey,” Belle said. She nearly bumped into him as she left.

Casey had settled into Bay life along with his brother Heath, who had taken over Angelo’s old restaurant, having really turned his life around. Prison had really seemed to help him to change.

“So dude have you got it?”

“Yep, just hope she says yes,” Aden said.

“Well she better after all you two have been through,” Casey said.

Aden had forgotten all about the stuff that had happened to become this happy with Belle. The thoughts of the Reaper were locked away in his mind as was its final message of someone else taking Belle’s place of dying.

“Yeah it’s been hard with the bad luck, with the speeding car and the surf carnival, but things are good now. I’ve never been happier.”

“That’s good dude. Now come here, I want to thrash you on Mario Kart,” Casey said.

Aden grabbed hold of the controller and gently shoved Casey. “Yeah like you’re going to thrash me,” laughed Aden.

“Hey Heath said you can have it at his restaurant if you want.”

“Thanks Case, but let’s see what she says first. Hey here’s the money I owe you for it,” Aden said passing Casey the money.

“Nice doing business with you,” Casey said.

Belle sat on the beach after work sipping a coffee. She wiped tears away from her eyes. She just couldn’t believe it. She used to love working at the Coastal News and now they had just gone and sacked her. They had said it was for budget cuts and her photo’s weren’t as good as they used to be and they had paid out too much sick pay for her recent accidents. She just wondered what else would happen to her today. She only wanted a quiet night with Aden but nothing could have prepared her for what Aden had in store for her.

“Babe?” she said as she turned the key in the door. “I’ve had a hell of a day. Can you believe they sacked me Aden.” She gazed down and her troubles from her day melted away and were replaced by feeling of amazement and excitement. Rose petals were trailing the length of the room as her eyes looked up in wonder. She spotted flickering candlelight on the dinning table all set up for a candle lit dinner. The sweet aroma of cooking food wavered in the air.

“You like?” Aden spoke from behind her.

Belle twirled around to face him. She slowly took in the suit he was wearing. It felt so silky.

“Excuse me madam, but would you be so kind as too try not to crease the suit until after dinner?” Aden said. He bowed and gestured toward the table. Belle turned smiling.

“Oh one moment madam, would you care for a rose?” Aden said. He pulled one out from his jacket.

“Why thank you sir,” Belle said gleefully.

Aden pulled a chair out for Belle to sit down before sitting opposite her.

“You kids ready yet?” Irene called from the kitchen.

“You bet we are,” Aden called back.

“Good evening you two, I’ll be your waitress for tonight,” Irene said. She placed dishes of tasty looking food ranging from lobster to pasta to chocolate mud cake on the table.

“Wow, you have been busy,” Belle laughed.

“Only the best for my beautiful girl,” Aden smiled.

“Music please DJ,” shouted Irene. “I’ll leave you to it. Just shake this bell if you need anything,” she said giving the bell a quick shake before rushing upstairs.

“Here I’ve downloaded some love ballads for you,” Dex said throwing Aden his ipod.

“I would love a chat,” Dex said. “But Irene wants me upstairs.”

“Yes she does,” Irene said. She pulled Dex up the stairs by his ear. “April needs your help, come on.”

Aden and Belle both laughed.

Two hours later

“Thank you Aden, this is wonderful.”

“That’s okay,” Aden said.

They both sat there gazing into each others eyes. There was a slight cough from the stairs. Aden turned to see Dex tapping his watch then the sound of footsteps were heard edging down the stairs ever so slightly.

“Is he going to do it?” April whispered.

“I’m sure he will darlin,” Irene whispered back.

Aden looked at Belle sheepishly. “Belle I love you.”

“I love you too Aden.”

“When I first saw you, I only wanted the best for you, do you ever think we could be soul mates? And were placed in this world to find one another. And we are meant to fight against the odds that are stacked up against us no matter what?” Aden said.

Belle stared at him. “Yes,” she whispered.

“Belle I feel like if I lost you I would fight all I could to get you back. I would go anywhere and do anything for you.”

Tears glistened in Belle’s eyes as Aden poured his heart out to her. No guy had ever been this nice to her.

“If I ended up losing you, I would happily live through the happy times with you all over again. You are my everything Belle, and I hope to make you happy. That is why I have this one question for you,” Aden said.

Belle’s heart started to beat rapidly. Tears streamed down her face as she realised what Aden’s question was going to be.

Aden gently pulled out a tiny box from his pocket. This precious object was what Casey had gone to get Aden that morning. They had been searching high and low for the right one.

As the tiny box flicked open, Belle cried with happiness. She looked through her tears to see the man she loved on one knee and a diamond ring sparkling up at her.

“Belle, will you marry me?”

“YES ADEN, I WILL MARRY YOU,” she said finally managing to find her words.

Here's another update

Chapter 14

Flashback chapter

Warning chapter might be upsetting to some people.

Please don’t read if you feel you might be affected.

William Jeffries squeaked as the bright sunshine shone down on the small group of children. From his bedroom window he had the perfect view of tiny but appealing bodies as they ran back and forth kicking their football to each other.

William peered through his spectacles which were perched on the end of his bony crooked nose. He licked his dry cracked lips hungrily as his gaze fell on his grandson Aden. Oh little Aden, how he enjoyed watching him get all sweaty. He looked forward to his one on one time with his grandson tonight. William chuckled, their friendship wasn’t what a granddad and grandson should be. As William watched, scanning the scene before him, a wide toothless grin started to form on his face.

Why hello you pretty little girl William thought as he watched a brown haired girl with a skipping rope in a flowery summer dress, up and down she jumped. He liked it when she jumped up as he could see up her dress.

“Hey Babe,” he heard someone shout. He saw a muscular kid walk over to her.

Ah Brax, William remembered this boys name. The brown haired girl was his girlfriend. Brax wasn’t any good for a girl like this William thought, he was too immature for her. William imagined inviting her into his house then he could have fun with her as well as his grandson.

The children played in teams. The first team consisted of Aden, Brax and Justin. The second team was Casey, Heath and Brax’s girlfriend.

“Hey Aden, go long,” Brax shouted.

Aden heaved the football as hard as he could. Justin collected the pass and kicked at the goal. Heath jumped forward to save the ball but it sailed into the net.

“Good one,” Casey shouted to Aden.

“Hey, you’re not on his team,” Heath shouted.

“Yeah I know, but we’re outnumbered with Brax’s girlfriend not really playing. Yo Brax, your girlfriend is rubbish. All she wants to do is skip.”

“Hey Babe,” Brax called to her to join in.

“I’m okay skipping thanks,” she blushed.

Brax shrugged his shoulders and started walking back.

“Hey dude, who’s that watching us?”

“Oh just my granddad,” Aden moaned. He hated seeing him up there with that stupid toothless grin on his wrinkled face. Aden knew he was perving on him and his friends.

“He’s sort of creepy the way he sometimes watches us,” Brax said.

You have no idea Aden thought as he looked up at his Granddad. He hated to imagine what he had in store for him tonight.

Aden sat hunched up in his bed, his sheets shaking waiting for his door to slowly creak open to find his beloved pervert granddad standing there. Aden hated the way his dad didn’t do a thing to stop his granddad doing the unspeakable things he did to Aden; he just went off to the pub and blacked out the awful truths of home life with alcohol.

As Aden pulled his Star Wars bed sheets up to his chin, the colour in his cheeks drained as he heard his door creak open.

William grinned down at Aden, his dressing gown flapping open but instead of being naked underneath unlike most nights when he visited Aden’s room, tonight he wore a t-shirt and baggy jeans. William walked over and sat on the end of Aden’s bed. He reached across and slowly caressed Aden’s hair and slowly moved down his cheek.

“Not tonight granddad, I’m tired. Maybe tomorrow,” Aden begged.

“Oh my sweet sexy boy,” William said in his creepy high pitched voice. Aden shuddered. “That’s okay if you’re tired and need a break from loving your sweet old granddad.” He reached across and pulled hard on Aden’s hair. “How will I satisfy my needs then boy?”

“I don’t know, but not tonight, please.”

“Fine,” William said.

Aden watched shocked as his granddad started to leave. He normally didn’t like taking no for an answer.

William had his hand on the doorframe about to leave when he suddenly turned around. Aden was shocked at the speed of the old man. Aden ducked a little as the old man seemed to sweep over him. He leaned across Aden and spoke softly. “If I can’t have you tonight I accept that, but I want someone else.” He slowly leaned back so he was sitting smiling at Aden as he slowly continued. “I tell you what, I’ll leave you alone for, oh let’s say a week.”

“A week, oh thank…”

“Yes Aden that’s right, one whole week. But Aden, that’s on one condition,” he hissed. “You know your friend, oh what’s his face? That little brat who thinks he’s so tough. Brax I think he’s called.”

“Brax?” Aden stammered.

“Yes, see I fancy his girlfriend and wouldn’t mind having a bit of fun with her.”

“GRANDAD, NO.”

“Calm down Aden, all I want you to do is make her and Brax have a little fight and then I can swoop in and make things better. What’s her name by the way?”

Aden said her name.

“Oh pretty name,” William said dreamily. “Will you do that for me grandson?” the old man asked reaching over clutching at Adens hair again. Aden couldn’t get over how much strength the old man had but he seemed to find it when it was something he really wanted.

“NO I WON’T.”

“YES YOU WILL OR DO YOU WANT ME TO CLIMB INTO YOUR BED RIGHT NOW!” William shouted.

“No, no,” Aden stammered.

“Good boy, so you’ll do this little job for me.”

Aden nodded sobbing.

“That’s my slugger,” his granddad said smiling, patting Aden on his head as he left the room.

The next day

“Take that Darryl Braxton,” the brown haired girl said as she slapped Brax’s face.

“Ouch what’s that for babe?”

“Aden told me you like Jess up the street,” the girl cried.

“I only played Cowboys and Indians with her,” Brax explained.

“Well I don’t like you any more, you’re silly,” the brown haired girl said stamping her feet. With that she marched over to the kerb and sat down clutching a little rag doll and cried.

Aden looked across at Brax standing there on the road stunned. The girl continued to cry.

Guilt was in the pit of his stomach. It was soon replaced with dread as he watched his granddad walk over to comfort the crying girl.

“Aww sweetie, what’s wrong?”

“Boys are stupid,” she sobbed. “He doesn’t want to be my boyfriend any more,” she cried pointing at Brax.

The old man looked at Brax and shook his head. “Tut tut, fancy you upsetting this pretty girl here.”

“Oh get stuffed you creepy old douche bag,” Brax shouted.

William only smiled. “He doesn’t deserve you darling,” William said turning back to the crying girl. “Hey why don’t you come with me to my house and I’ll give you some sweets to cheer you up. Would you like that?”

“Yes but I can’t. You’re a stranger. I’m not allowed to talk to strangers.”

“Oh I’m not a stranger, I’m Aden’s granddad. You’re friends with Aden aren’t you sweetie?”

“Yeah.”

“So come on, let’s get those sweets. You’ll be back out playing soon.”

“Okay.”

As William helped her up he couldn’t wait until that night. William turned around and smiled at Brax as he guided the girl with his hand up to his house.

“Babe,” Brax said.

“See you douche bag,” William whispered loud enough for Brax to hear.

“ADEN,” Brax shouted. Aden looked across at him.

“Sorry dude, I can’t do nothing.”

“ADEN GET HER BACK!” Brax shouted turning to Heath and Casey for help.

“Sorry Bro, you upset her,” they both laughed.

That night Aden tried his hardest to drown out the noises of rape which filled the house as his granddad had his way with one of his friends.

End of flashback.

Sorry for it being so intense

[pembie]

Hey Here is the next Chapter If I am writing this story right

Hopefully this chapter will shock you all

Chapter 15

Could be an upsetting chapter

Irene looked upon the young girl with great pride. She had become a beautiful young woman. As Irene watched her swirling around in her white flowing wedding dress, tears came to her eyes.

“Does it look okay Irene?” Belle asked.

“Oh Darlin, you look so wonderful,” she said trying her hardest to stop her tears.

“Do you think Aden will like it?” Belle asked unsure.

“It’ll blow his mind when he sees you.”

“Thanks for coming with me today. I wonder how Aden’s getting on with his suit fitting. Bet he looks like a prince,” Belle laughed.

“So are you going to take the dress?” the shop assistant smiled.

“She would be a Wally if she didn’t,” spoke up Irene not giving Belle a chance to react.

“Are you sure its not too much?” Belle asked shyly.

“Not at all Darlin. Only the best for you,” Irene said. “Anyway, I’ve told you I’m paying for the wedding. No arguments girly and that’s final.”

“Well I guess I am,” Belle laughed.

“Good choice Madam,” the shop assistant said.

“I’ll go and get changed then,” Belle said.

“Okay madam, then I’ll help you bag the dress up.”

With that Belle rushed off to a changing room. She couldn’t believe her good luck with finding her knight in shining armour. If she didn’t know any better she would put it down to fate.

“Where’s my gun? I’ve got to create the whole James Bond feeling.”

“Dex, we’re not here auditioning for a part in the next James Bond movie, we’re here for a suit fitting,” Aden laughed shaking his head.

“Hey Dex, use this hair dryer for a gun,” Casey said handing over the hair dryer.

“Where did you find that?” Aden asked rolling his eyes.

“Over there with the hair gels,” Casey said pointing over to a small hair dressers where people went to get ready before their suit fitting.

The three of them stood posing in front of a big mirror.

Dex stood pretending to blow smoke from his hair dryer/gun.

“Call me Walker, Dexter Walker.”

“Okay, we will, being that is your name and all,” laughed Aden.

“Hey can I see it?” Aden laughed grabbing for Belle’s dress later that evening.

“No, it’ll bring us bad luck. Irene said it’ll blow your mind when you see it,” Belle laughed.

“Oh we don’t want any more bad luck do we?” Aden smiled.

“Aden, she looked like an angel,” Irene said sitting down on the sofa.

“Yeah I must’ve been sent down from the heavens for you,” Belle laughed.

“That you were,” Aden said embracing her in a hug.

“Hey Babe, did you get hold of Nicole today?” Belle asked as they joined Irene on the sofa.

“No I didn’t. She wasn’t online again which was a bit of a pain. I wanted to invite her to the wedding. She must be too busy trying to make babies with Angelo.”

“Oh we could do that now if you want?” Belle said winking.

“Would I?” Aden said. They both jumped up and ran to the bedroom.

“Oh good grief,” Irene said shaking her head laughing.

Darkness surrounded her. It was hot and stuffy. She was dripping with sweat. The sound of the engine masked her cries for help. Her throat had grown hoarse and sore. She lay there in the small confined space having long ago given up on shouting, hoping to be heard. She winced as the car hit a small rut in the road, it was enough for her to bash her leg on the boot lid. She was a hostage, she knew that, but nothing the big tattooed driver up front, driving like a maniac, could do to her now could be any worse than the pain and grief she felt over losing Angelo; cruelly taken away from her in the last couple of months. She had cared for him, had been at his bedside as she watched the cancer slowly making him weaker and had slowly eaten away the man she had fallen in love with. And with Angelo’s dying breath he had spoken weakly in her ear.

“Sorry I couldn’t give you a baby,” he had said. With that she had placed a goodbye kiss on his lips, the last thing they would ever share together as Angelo left this world and moved on to the next. Well at least she hoped he was in the next life and at peace. She liked to think of him in that way.

“Hey Nicole, hope it’s not too bumpy for you!” laughed her kidnapper.

Nicole was caught up in her own world of grief to register what the driver had said.

Flashback

“Please, we need a doctor,” Angelo yelled as he ran guiding Nicole through the heavy hospital doors. He peered around the room with fright in his eyes. Screams of Nicole’s pain echoed in his ears.

“Come on people, she’s in labour.”

God damn, why did these people have to speak Italian? Since moving to Rome, Angelo had mastered most of the language, but in this moment all that knowledge had disappeared from his mind.

“It’s okay Nic, just try and breathe slowly.” Angelo wiped the sweat from her brow.

“Angelo, it’s too early for the baby to come.”

“It’ll be okay babe, I swear.”

A doctor rushed over to the panic stricken couple. He quickly gestured them over to a side room. He hurried into the room.

“English?” Angelo nodded.

“Please, sir, put her on the bed.”

Angelo gently lifted Nicole into his arms and walked a few steps towards the bed. He caught a glimpse of the doctor with a look of horror on his face. Angelo slowly looked down as a dampness started to ooze through his t-shirt.

“Oh my god.”

“The blood will come out sir.”

Angelo stepped back with shock as he glanced at the big puddle of blood on the floor.

“Is she pregnant sir?”

“Yes,” Angelo said quietly, tears forming in his eyes.

A few minutes later Nicole was rushed for an ultrasound.

“Okay Nicole, we’ll see if we can see your baby,” the nurse smiled.

“Please find my baby,” Nicole cried. She clutched Angelo’s hand.

As the nurse tried to find the baby’s heartbeat, Nicole watched the screen on the monitor.

“Anything?” she asked.

“One moment please,” the nurse said.

After 20 minutes the nurse sadly turned to face the worried couple.

“I’m so sorry but you’ve lost the baby.”

Nicole burst into floods of tears while Angelo looked on, too shocked to speak.

End of flashback.

Flashback two

Two months later

“Angelo I’m so sorry but the cancer cannot be stopped, it’s progressed too far.”

Those painful words kept replaying in his mind. As Angelo lay in his hospital bed he smiled weakly at Nicole.

“I love you Angelo,” Nicole whispered in his ear.

Angelo’s cancer had seemed to come out of nowhere and had hit him hard and fast.

A hand gently tapped Nicole’s shoulder.

“It’s time to say goodbye Nicole.”

“Okay doctor,” she cried. She leaned over her dying lover. “I love you Angelo.”

Angelo looked into Nicole’s eyes and struggled to speak.

“Is he trying to say something?”

“Yes, listen closely,” the doctor said gently.

Nicole leaned over so her ear was close to his mouth.

“Sorry I couldn’t give you a baby.”

With those final words, Angelo died.

End of flashback.

I'm off into hiding now

[pembie]

Hey Guys here's next chapter

Chapter 16

Upsetting chapter again sorry.

Oh how she missed Angelo. Not only had she lost him but their baby too. With her dad in prison, Nicole felt lost. She could only think of one person to turn to for comfort; that person was Aden. But now being locked in this tight and sweaty car boot, the hope of seeing Aden seemed hopeless. She felt sad that she had seen the Facebook and Skype messages he had left for her but she hadn’t had the chance to answer with Angelo falling ill. She only wished she had found the time now because speaking to her best friend again seemed like a hopeless dream.

She angrily kicked out her leg and was shocked by the pain that shot up her leg. What had she kicked? It felt like a heavy wooden box. She held back the tears and the screams of pain wanting to escape from the back of her throat. She heard footsteps outside crunching on gravel. All of a sudden the car boot shot up and revealed her kidnapper’s grinning face. His muscular arm shot out. In his hand was a half eaten sandwich.

“Eat,” he said simply.

“No thank you,” Nicole murmured.

“It’s good. It’s tuna salad.”

“YOU WON’T GET AWAY WITH THIS YOU BASTRAD!” Nicole shouted.

“Oh calm down will you? You’re only my bargaining chip.”

“What are you going to do to Aden?”

Her kidnapper smiled and moved over to the wooden box she had kicked.

“Revenge Nic,” he said with a fighting look in his eyes. He picked up an object which filled Nicole with horror.

“Why have you got that?”

“I like to shoot things Nic,” he said. He loaded the shotgun he held in his hands.

“I love you Aden Jeffries,” Belle said happily kissing his lips.

“Jeffries is a great name don’t you think?” Aden laughed. “And soon you’ll be Mrs Jeffries.”

“Yeah that will be great. Well that is if Dex doesn’t lose my ring,” Belle laughed.

“Dex has assured me he will guard that ring with his life,” Aden laughed.

“Why did you ask him to be your best man?” Alf moaned from behind the surf club bar.

“Dex is cool, a bit dorky but I think he’s a good laugh.”

“Oh yeah he is that,” Alf laughed. “Did he ever tell you about our time on Robot Wars?”

“No,” Belle and Aden laughed.

“Well we won these hi tech fishing rods, but do you think I can flaming use them? That was Dex’s idea.”

They all laughed.

Flashback

Brax’s girlfriend, now aged 13, cringed as Aden’s granddad leered at her and drooled. From the time of that first fateful day when she had entered into this hell, things had gotten worse for her and Aden. The old man forced Aden to watch as unspeakable things were done to her. William enjoyed them both so much that he had scared her into coming back.

Brax couldn’t understand why the girl he loved was so distant with him. He didn’t realise she and Aden were being abused in the darkest of the night. It’s wasn’t until late that Aden’s loving granddad would drag them into the night of nightmares. Rumours had been drifting around the neighbourhood but they hadn’t reached Brax’s ears yet.

End of Flashback.

Hey Thanks for all the feedback here is the next part Thanks to elikell for helping me out

Chapter 17

“Come and sit in the front with me,” he said looking down at her.

Nicole gazed up for a second; a forbidden thought placed itself in her mind. If this guy wasn’t my kidnapper he would be quite hot with those muscles and bulging biceps and that cheeky grin… No, stop thinking like this, Nicole told herself quickly, pushing those thoughts aside. This guy wants to hurt Aden, revenge he had said. She had to tread very carefully here.

“No I’m fine cramped in this poxy boot thanks,” she said with sarcasm in her voice. She regretted the words as soon as they left her mouth. She started to cower in a hunched up ball and covered her head with her hands. She took a peek as she heard him pacing, noise of crunching gravel under his footsteps. The noise of the footsteps suddenly stopped. Through the small gap of her fingers she spotted her kidnappers eyes looking at her.

“Oh Nic, don’t be scared of me.”

Nicole felt pain shoot through her skull as the menacing man pulled her hair and jerked her head back.

“Now get in the front!” he shouted.

As he pulled her along behind him he swung the passenger’s car door open and threw Nicole inside. He slammed the door shut and ran around to the driver’s side, picking up his shotgun from the ground as he went. He jumped into his seat.

“Now you’re going phone your friend Aden for me and act normal. Say you’re coming back to Summer Bay and act cheerful. I don’t want him thinking something’s wrong. Do you understand?”

“Oh yeah, what are you going to do if I go off your guidelines?” Nicole spat at him.

He wiped the spit from his face and smiled. He looked down and patted the shotgun which sat on his lap.

“Let’s just say those long sexy legs of yours will be a few inches shorter.”

“Brodie, is it done?” a sexy young female voice asked.

“Yeah it is, listen who is this? When do I get paid?” Brodie asked with the phone glued to his ear.

“All in good time. Was it hard to do the job?” the sexy voice asked.

“Nah, piece of cake. Did what you told me to do, grabbed a white coat and pretended to be a doctor.” Brodie hoped that would impress her, he quite liked the sound of her voice. “Hey why did you want this job doing?” he asked.

“I’m just making sure all the pieces fall into place,” the sexy female said.

“What pieces?” Brodie asked.

“The pieces of fate,” the sexy voice answered.

“Okay whatever, anyway when this is over would you like to go out on a date?” Brodie asked.

“I can’t. My heart belongs to someone else and I love them, that’s why I have to do this. I have give him warnings to stay away from her but he has proven he can’t resist her,” she said.

With that they both hung up.

I'm glad to confuse you Red thats what I was aiming for

Heres chapters 18

Chapter 18

“Nic, are you okay? You sound strange.”

A worried Nicole looked across at her kidnapper and hoped he hadn’t heard what Aden had asked her. As she held her mobile to her ear, his expression was so hard to read as he sat next to her. His finger lightly rested on the trigger of his shotgun.

“Go on, talk to him,” the frightening man encouraged, gently knocking her leg with the barrel of the gun.

“Hello Aden…” Nicole coughed as she lost her voice.

She looked quickly to her kidnapper who was shaking his head, banging his gun harder against her leg with each shake of his head.

Nicole quickly found her voice; it was either that or lose a leg.

“Hello Aden yes I’m fine, how’s things with you?”

“Oh you know Nic, pretty good.”

Nicole could hear the happiness in his voice. It sounded to her that he was brimming over with some exciting news that he was just aching to tell her.

“That’s great Aden,” Nicole said hastily looking towards the man in the seat next to her, nodding, telling her to keep talking.

“Nic?” she could hear Aden from the other end of the phone.

“I’m here.”

“Cool, I thought you’d hung up. Is Angelo distracting you?”

She heard him laughing on the other end of the phone.

At that moment Nicole wanted to break down in a flood of tears and just tell her best friend about Angelo’s death. But she knew she was likely to get herself killed if she did, and no one would think to look for her out here on this dusty road she found herself on, so she just answered his question with a simple yes.

“I bet he is,” Aden laughed. “Hey Belle’s here, she says hi.”

Nicole could hear Belle and Aden’s happy voices say hi to her. Tears were streaming down her face as she thought of her two best friends being so happy, and they didn’t know of the danger she was in and even if they did know, there was nothing they could do to save her.

Nicole could smell stale breath as her kidnapper spoke.

“Don’t cry Nic or I’ll shoot you. Tell them what I told you,” he grinned.

Nicole nodded shaking.

“Hey you two, I’m coming back to Summer Bay. I’ve decided Rome isn’t for me.”

“Cool Nic, is Angelo coming with you?” Aden asked as he heard someone cough beside her.

Nicole sighed and answered with a yes.

“Cool, I’m glad you’re coming back because we’ve been trying to get in touch with you because…” Aden said.

Then in unison Aden and Belle both shouted, “WE’RE GETTING MARRIED.”

A few minutes later

Aden and Belle were hugging each other on the sofa.

“Hey babe?” Aden said playing with a lock of Belle’s hair with his finger. “Was it just me or was Nic a bit strange on the phone?”

“She was a bit, I guess. But I guess she was just itching to get back to Angelo. They really love each other.”

“Just like us,” Aden said.

Belle smiled up at him and hugged him tighter.

“Anyone for a beer?” Justin asked as he walked in. “How come your door was open?”

“Don’t you know everyone leaves their door open in this town?” Belle laughed getting up.

Justin laughed and threw a beer to Aden.

“Belle would you like one?” Justin asked.

“No, I think I’ll leave you boys too it. I’m not feeling that well,” she said.

Aden jumped up. “Are you okay? What’s wrong?”

“Oh just tired, headache and feel a bit sick. I’ll just go for a lie down,” Belle said.

“Okay then, but if you need me just give me a call.”

“I always need you Aden,” Belle laughed as she left for her bedroom.

“So how are you bro?” Justin asked sitting next to Aden. He noticed the worried look on Aden’s face. “She’ll be fine,” he said as he looked intensely at Aden.

“I just worry about her Justin. I have these thoughts sometimes that something will happen to her. It’s silly I know.”

“She’ll be okay Aden. I know. I have it in good faith,” Justin said. “And you know that too,” he said.

Aden felt a chill go down his spine as he stared at Justin. It really seemed to him Justin was trying to give him a hidden message and deep down locked faraway in Aden’s mind the answers sat in his lost memories. Memories of him coming back to save Belle from her death, making a deal for someone else to die instead of her and the most chilling memory of all, the creature in black who said Aden knew it’s true identity.

“Yes Justin, I’m sure Belle will be fine.”

With that the two brothers enjoyed their beers.

Here's the next chapter guys

hope you like it

Chapter 19

She tried to gain control of her breathing. Tears rolled down her face as she tried to take in Sid’s words. Through her tear glistened eyes she saw Sid crouch down in front of her. He gently took hold of her hand.

“Belle, the results are positive.”

“Are you sure?” she asked, her voice shaky.

“Yes. When are you going tell Aden?” asked Sid.

“I don’t know. I’m scared what he might say. We’ve only been together for a short time. I don’t know how he’ll take news like this.”

Sid looked intensely into Belle’s eyes. “I’m sure he’ll stand by you. After all, this is going to affect both of your lives.”

Belle smiled at Sid weakly.

“Okay. I’ll tell him, but I’ll wait for our wedding day.”

“Are you sure that’ll be the right time?” Sid asked.

“Yeah, because he’ll be relaxed. I don’t want him fussing over me before then.”

All of a sudden, the dizziness and nausea returned to Belle. The feeling of sickness had been with Belle for the last couple of weeks, which had ended up with Aden convincing Belle to get herself checked out. But as Belle dashed out of Sid’s office to be sick once again, she couldn’t help but think that Aden would come to regret finding out the cause.

Aden sat on the sofa and stared at a piece of paper with a few lines scribbled on it.

There was a knock at the door. Aden jumped as Casey popped his head through the doorway.

“Hey dude, what’s that you’re doing there?” Casey asked.

“This, Casey, is my wedding vows. I’m no good with words though, so I asked Dex to help me with it.” Aden looked up at Casey and saw him trying to hold back a laugh.

“What, with all that blogging he does, I thought he might be good at this sort of thing.”

Casey fell backwards onto the sofa next to Aden.

“So what has he written?” Casey smirked.

“I’m not showing you Case, you’ll laugh,” Aden said.

“Show me.”

Casey went to grab the paper. Aden shoved Dex’s written words of wisdom into his shorts pocket. Casey playfully tackled Aden as he tried to get at the paper poking out of Aden’s pocket. Aden playfully shoved Casey off him.

“Okay be like that. I don’t want to read your stupid wedding vows anyway,” Casey laughed.

“Good for you,” laughed Aden.

“Hey dude, just going use your loo,” Casey said jumping up.

“Okay dude, catch you in a minute.”

While Casey was gone Aden smiled to himself. He couldn’t believe how happy he was. He had the most beautiful girl in the world and great mates. Sure, he was worried about Belle’s check up, but he was sure she would be fine. He got up off the sofa and threw a blanket over the top of it. After that he fluffed some pillows to welcome Belle home. If she wasn’t feeling well she could sleep on the sofa while he waited on her. As he threw a fluffy pillow down on the sofa, he got his foot caught in the long blanket. As he landed on his knees he spotted a piece of paper on the floor. Aden picked it up curiously, wondering where it had come from. He couldn’t remember seeing it there before. Aden was very confused as the words jumped out at him.

The card read:

Yabbie Creek Asylum

This is a visiting order for Casey and Heath Braxton

Date of visit 1st June 2011 Time 3pm.

Aden was so lost in trying to make sense of the words he didn’t hear Casey return.

“Hey Dude, have you seen…oh cool, you found it.”

Aden turned and faced Casey.

“Case, why have you got a visiting order to an asylum?”

“Brax,” Casey simply said.

Aden stared at Casey. “But you said Brax was dead.”

It was Casey’s turn to stare at Aden.

“You really don’t remember, do you?” Casey asked.

“Remember what?” Aden asked hearing his voice rise.

“Brax is dead Aden. Well the Brax we grew up with is anyway.”

Aden sat down confused. “I don’t understand.”

“Brax slowly lost it.”

“What do you mean?” Aden asked.

“He went mad, Aden.”

“How? Why?” Aden asked.

“Because of his girlfriends disappearance. He searched everywhere for her. He never gave up. As he grew older he became more obsessed with her until one day he snapped. He became seriously deranged and dangerous until he was no longer the person we once knew. I think he would do anything to find her again.”

Aden was shocked to his core from Casey’s confession.

“So he’s at the Yabbie Creek asylum now?” Aden asked.

“Yep, for the criminally insane. Me and Heath are meant to visit him tomorrow.”

Before Aden could stop the words tumbling from his mouth he spoke.

“I can come with you for support if you like?”

“You can’t do that Aden,” Casey stammered.

“Why?”

“Because he blames you. The last time Brax’s girlfriend was seen was when she was 13 years old and entering your Granddad’s house.”

Hey Guys

Theres 5 chapters left after this one

not sure what you will think at the end of this chapter

Chapter 20

Nicole watched as he drummed his fingers on the steering wheel to the beat of the music blaring from the car radio. He turned his head and smiled at her like they were going somewhere pleasant for a few days and not on a revenge trip to settle some old scores.

“I like this one. It’s got a good beat. Don’t you think it’s a good tune Nic?” he asked cheerfully.

“What did Aden ever do you that was so bad?” she asked.

He gazed through the windshield, annoyed at the question.

“Did you hear me?” Nicole squeaked, worried about her own safety in the company of this deranged man.

After a few minutes of silence the man stopped the car down a quiet country road, switched the radio off and turned to Nicole. She wondered why he had stopped in this quiet area.

Nicole was expecting him to say something or get out of the parked car but her kidnapper sat there staring forward.

She jumped when his eyes turned to look at her. She was shocked to see tears glistening in them.

“That day I saw you there on the side of the road with your thumb poking out waiting for a lift, for a few seconds I thought you were her.”

“Who did you think I was?” Nic asked watching tears roll down his face.

The tattooed guy carried on like he was living in some distant and lost memory.

“But you weren’t her. She had, I mean has, long brown hair, you have blonde. You looked upset so I stopped to pick you up and then I asked you what was wrong. Do you remember?”

“Yes. That was very sweet of you but then you started acting crazy when I told you about Aden, why?”

He looked at her intensely.

“I lost her because of him. He tricked her you see, tricked her to go into his house to meet his dirty old granddad and then she couldn’t escape him.”

“Aden’s granddad?”

“Yes, he abused and raped her. Aden didn’t even try to help her,” he said with hatred in his voice.

“Aden was abused by him too. He was probably scared of him. Whoever she is, you sound like you really love her.”

He turned to her. “She’s the girl I’ve always loved. She went missing on her 13th birthday because of that dirty old man. She went into Aden’s house and I never saw her again. If I can’t get that old pervert I can get Aden.”

Nicole couldn’t believe how much he seemed to hate Aden.

“Nic, Aden’s evil and I don’t know why you want to turn to him for support with the death of Angelo. He’ll probably just laugh in your face. Aden has caused you this pain don’t you realise?”

Nicole looked upset and shocked by that statement. “How do you mean?” she asked.

He looked across at her.

“Well if he had stayed with you and hadn’t run off with your best friend, you wouldn’t have moved to Rome with Angelo and been there when he died. And you wouldn’t be going through this grief you’re going through now.”

Nicole tried to take her kidnappers words in.

“I’m happy I moved to Rome with Angelo. I loved him.”

The gentle side to the man seemed to vanish in an instant. The man sat beside her and nodded his head grinning.

“But if it wasn’t for Angelo dying you wouldn’t be in my car now. I can’t believe my good luck, you coming along for me as a hostage.” The man laughed. “I can just see Aden’s face when we get to Summer Bay.”

Nicole sat frozen with such horror she didn’t hear her phone ringing. Her kidnapper turned to look at her and grabbed her phone. He took a quick glance at the caller ID and smiled.

“Oh look Nic, its Aden.” He threw the phone on Nicole’s lap. Nicole’s eyes darted down to her phone.

“Answer it Nic,” the tattooed man said simply.

Nicole looked up at his eyes.

“I’ll let it go to message bank. The signal isn’t good out here.”

Nicole’s body tensed as the car was turned off on the side of the road.

The man next to her sat there silently for a few seconds listening to the ringing phone. He slowly turned to face to Nicole and with a quick action he slapped Nicole so hard her head whipped back. As her head fell forward he grabbed her hair and yanked her head back.

“I SAID ANSWER THE PHONE!” he shouted.

Nicole nodded. Shaking, she pressed and answered Aden’s call.

“Nic would you please put your call on speaker phone?” the muscular man said calmly, smiling.

Nicole quickly did as she was told.

“Hey Nic,” Aden’s cheerful voice spoke.

“Hello Aden,” she spluttered.

“Hey Nic, how far away are you and Angelo? It’s just that me and Belle are having our wedding in two days. Do you think you’ll be able to get here in time?”

“Tell him we’re only two days away,” Nicole’s kidnapper whispered.

Nicole nodded and answered Aden’s question.

“Two days away.”

“Oh great, you’ll just get here in time. We’re having the wedding at Angelo’s at 2pm, but we’ll wait for you if you’re late. Elijah is marrying us so I’m sure he won’t mind waiting.”

At the mention of Angelo’s name Nicole found it hard to speak.

“Okay, see you there.”

“Okay cool, bye Nic.”

Nicole looked across at her kidnapper, who was holding back a laugh.

“How ironic Nic, your ex is getting married at Angelo’s, the very mans restaurant you love and now he’s dead.”

Nicole could only cry. As she cried, the man sat beside her, switched the radio on filling the car with the sounds of a news report.

“About two weeks ago there was a breakout at the Yabbie Creek mental asylum after the patient in question had help from someone pretending to be a doctor. The patient who escaped is considered to be very dangerous. He has tattoos and a very muscular build. The name of this man is…”

Just then he flicked the radio off. “We don’t want to be listening to that now do we?”

“Oh God, it’s you isn’t it?” Nicole asked.

The man answered her question with a grin.

“What are you going to do to Aden?” she asked.

“Kill him Nic,” he simply said. He smiled.

Brodie paced back and forth, his face hidden by a hoodie, hands stuffed in his pockets. Miss sexy voice had told him to go the Diner and look out at the beach but not to go down to the sand. Brodie thought they were very strange directions, but if he was going get his money for the breakout he managed to pull off by getting his so-called brother out of that asylum, he wasn’t going to complain. It wasn’t just the money he was looking forward to, he was finally going to meet the girl behind the mysterious sexy voice he had heard on the phone for the last couple of months. He wondered what she would look and smell like. He was lost in his thoughts of her when he heard her voice speak to him.

“Are you Brodie?” she spoke softly.

Brodie turned and was instantly filled with disappointment. The girl with the sexy voice was covered from head to toe in black clothing.

“Are you Brodie?” she repeated.

“Yep, that’s me,” Brodie answered.

“Here’s your cash for breaking him out for me.”

She shoved a stuffed envelope into his hands and went to stand by the wooden posts overlooking the beach.

“So is that it? I busted him out for you?” Brodie asked.

The girl dressed in black seemed lost in some far away thoughts as she looked down at the couple below throwing sand at each other and laughing.

“Just look at how happy Belle is. Aden really does love her wouldn’t you say?” she said sadly.

“Yeah I guess, but with him out now he’ll be after Aden’s blood,” Brodie said.

“He couldn’t resist her could he? After I learned of Aden’s love for Belle I realized he couldn’t live without her, I wanted him to move on with his life after her death but they truly couldn’t live without each other. Their bond is unbreakable.”

Brodie shrugged. “He’ll kill Aden you know, when he catches up with him.”

“Oh I know, that’s what I’m counting on. Aden and Belle’s fate are with each other and always will be, but yes Brodie, you can go now. You’ve played your part.”

Brodie turned to go but turned back.

“I just have one question. What’s your name?”

The girl slowly lifted her hood away. Long reddish hair flowed down her shoulders and her brown eyes sparkled. Brodie’s mouth hung open as he gazed down at the girl with Aden on the beach below. He glanced back at the girl standing smiling in front of him. The sexy voiced girl who had wanted his River boy brother broken out of that asylum was none other than…

“You can call me Belle,” the girl said smiling back at him.
