I woke up to someone shaking me a little, I open my eyes to see Ryan smiling looking over at me. 

"We've arrived but remember we can't stay long, so only pack what you need," he says which makes me look around to see our house in front of us, I was still in a state of sleep so I just nod smiling. 

He gets out the car running over to the front door quickly unlocking it, I climb out and walk quickly but didn't run like Ryan cause again I was still half asleep and follow him into the house. We both run up the stairs going our separate rooms, I grab two bags that were under my bed starting to pack clothes, makeup and things I just can't bear leaving like photos and keepsakes. At the bottom of my wardrobe was a box that I kept all my old things, things I've had since I was a baby, I pick the box up emptying the whole contents into a bag safely. Once I'm finished I zip the bags up walking towards the door, I turn taking one more look at my room before walking out the door. 

Ryan runs out of his room taking my bags off me saying for me to get some last things we might need downstairs, I run downstairs towards the kitchen while he runs to the car to put our bags down. 

I grab some food cause well you need food! And just some little things before running out the house joining Ryan, he shut the boot of the car before running over to me.  

"Have you got everything?" He asks, I just nod before looking back towards the house, we've shared so many memories between these four walls. 

"We'll be fine I'll look after you," he says wrapping his arm around me where we stand for a few minutes staring at the building in front of us, tears start to prick my eyes at the thought of leaving this place and all the memories stored inside. 

"I know it seems hard leaving but it's just a house, the memories aren't going to stay within it, they'll remain in your head which has unlimited space to keep even more," Ryan says holding me tighter sensing I was getting upset, he always knew what to say. 

We pull away Ryan putting his hands on both my shoulders smiling at me. 

"Now wipe them tears and put a smile on that beautiful face, we can leave this house with a smile on our faces saying a happy goodbye," he says smiling, I wipe my tears putting a little smile on my face. 

"What are you doing back here already," a voice says behind me, I quickly wipe the remaining tears from my eyes turning around to see Gabbie standing behind me. 

"Oh we forgot some things so we decided we'd take the drive here," I say trying to make my voice not sound like I was just crying, which was a very hard task. 

"That's a such a you thing to do" she laughs as she looks to me than Ryan "you two look smart" looking at our clothes.  

We haven't had the chance to change after we had lunch? I was still in my dress that was actually becoming uncomfortable. 

"Yeah Ryan took me out for dinner just before, so we haven't had a chance to change yet" I smile which isn't actually a lie, our dinner was interrupted by the phone call. 

"Well I'll let you go cause I know how your mum gets when you're late" she laughs walking over wrapping me in a hug, I hug her tightly I wish I could tell her what's going on but I know Ryan won't let me, but I don't blame him. 

"I'll see you Monday" she smiles pulling away,  I felt like crying at this moment but I knew I couldn't. 

"yeah Monday," I say fighting back the tears that threatened to leave my eyes, Ryan comes up behind me wrapping his arm around me. 

"Have a lovely week Gabbie" he says she smiles looking down at me before turning and walking away.  

"I love you Gabs!" I shout she turns back smiling.  

"I love you too!" She shouts as she walks into her house when she was out of sight I let the tears win the fight and they began to stream down my face once more.  

"When am I gonna be able to see her again?" I ask as Ryan holds me tighter. 

"I don't know Savannah, but we can hope for the best" was all he ways which makes me turn and hug him fully.  

This is one of the hardest things I've had to do.

We leave the house and start on our way again but this time it was silent in the car, seeing Gabbie just made me realise what's actually happening. My parents have been taken or maybe killed and I can't even go back to see them, my life is about to change so much and the person that I trust so much,  I can't even tell. Ryan stops the car and starts texting on his phone while I continued to stare out the window. 

"My friends are letting us stay at their place for a while" he says finally putting his phone away starting the car once more. 

"Do they know what's happened?" I ask finally looking over at him for the first time this whole car ride. 

"I told them a few things but not all, don't worry we can trust them, I was actually staying at their house when I was away" he says which makes me just look at him confused, I thought traveled. 

"Is their house far away from ours?" I ask but he shakes his head concentrating on the road. 

"Nope, it's not that far but that was the point, I didn't want to be too far away from you, but it was far enough for you not to find me" he says why didn't he want us to find him? I mean yeah we're mates it didn't mean he had to hide away from us.  

"You were close this whole time" I say shocked, I mean I'm not mad at him I just didn't know how close he actually was, I always thought he'd be at the other side of the world not down the road. 

"I wanted to be as close as I possibly could, so if something happened I could be there within hours not days" he says as he takes a corner driving us down into a hidden road in the middle of the woods. 

"I'm guessing your friends house is hard to find" I say looking over him then back at the woods that surrounded the whole road. 

"It's very hard to find, it took me a few hours to find it the first time I visited but don't worry, I know how to get to it now" he smiles looking back out towards the road.  

It took us another twenty minutes before a house comes into view, it was the only one around here it wasn't big but it also wasn't small, it was kind of in the middle. We drive up to the gate where Ryan opens his window talking into the intercom. 

"It's Ryan" he says someone speaks through it but i couldn't hear what they were saying as the gates opened. 

I look over at Ryan as he smiles down at me saying I'll be alright, we start driving up to the house, before we could stop two people walk out the house and down the steps walking towards the car as we stop, Ryan gets out so I follow his lead also getting out the car with him.

"Ryan" the guy says giving Ryan a little hug before the girl gives him a hug. 

"I've missed you" she says as I make my way around the car to stand next to Ryan, I'm not jealous at all. 

"You must be Savannah" the guy smiles turning his attention to me "we've heard so much about you" he smiles I look to Ryan than back at the two people. 

"Ryan didn't stop talking about you when he was here" the girl says smiling towards me but I look towards Ryan again.  

"I mean yeah I told them about you , we did speak about different things" Ryan says getting the bags out the car walking straight in the house trying to dodge the conversation. 

"Yeah sure we did like what her favourite food was" she laughs linking arms with me leading me in the house behind Ryan "he spoke about you so much I feel like I know everything about you, even though we've just met" she smiles towards me she seems nice enough, I guess. 

"I wish I knew more about you"I smile as we walk into what looked like a living room, a rather nice living room. 

"You didn't tell her about us Ryan" the guy says jokingly hurt putting his hand to heart. 

"I would have but i only got back home a few days ago, I never had the chance to" he says dumping the bags on the floor before sitting on the sofa, you can tell he's stayed here for a while he's so comfortable jumping on the sofa.  

"Why are you two so dressed up, it wasn't for us was it?" The girl asks sitting down on the opposite sofa pulling me down with her, I really need to learn their names.  

"We were actually at dinner when all this went down" Ryan says leaning back in the sofa crossing his arms sighing still annoyed about what's happened, I send him a soft smile which he returned. 

"Savannah you don't even know their names yet, well this is Harry " he says pointing to the tall one who sends me a little wave. 

"I'm Martha" the girl smiles talking before Ryan could finish his sentence, wow she's very excited.  

"Well it's nice to finally know your names" I smile as Ryan gets up picking our bags up with him. 

"Your rooms upstairs you're sharing, that's alright isn't it Savannah?" Harry asks looking towards me briefly, okay why is he only asking me? 

"Yeah that's fine" I smile looking quickly at Ryan but soon back at Harry who smiles at me as him and Ryan leave the sitting room. 

"I still can't believe he never told you about us"Martha says when both guys were out of sight. 

"He really didn't have time I'm sure if we had more time he would have, anyway thanks for letting us stay here" I smile but she just laughs waving her hand in my face making lean back. 

"Ryan basically lives here the amount of time he was here last, but he's a really good friend of ours so if he's in trouble we'll jump at the chance of helping" she smiles getting up walking over to the cabinet taking a photo coming back over to me. 

"This is us three about a year ago" she says passing the photo to me smiling at the memory. 

Ryan was standing in the middle of her and Harry holding sparklers, this was probably around New Years.  

"You look like you were having fun" I smile looking mostly at Ryan, it was always hard around new year without him with us but I'm glad he was happy. 

"It was Ryan, he always knew how to make everyone happy, even when I was having problems with my parents accepting Harry and I" she smiles placing the photo on the coffee table in front of us with a sad smile "but let's not get to that now" she quickly says as the guys walk back in laughing about something. 

"What's so funny?" She asks as Harry starts walking towards what looks like the kitchen. 

"I told Ryan what you did last night" he laughs walking fully into the kitchen but she didn't look so happy. 

"Harry!"she shouts running after him leaving Ryan and I in the sitting room. 

"I love those two" he laughs sitting next to me where Martha previously was "you doing alright?" He asks looking over at me smiling. 

"I'm alright they seem nice, we're gonna be safe here right?" I ask, he just wraps his arm around my shoulders pulling me towards him. 

"Of course I won't let anything happen to you, everything's gonna be fine"
