CHAPTER 12

Your kidding me? Lauren said, sitting on the couch looking up at Elijah. Dom was WITH Evi? Like WITH her? She asked, shocked and flabbergasted.

Nodding, Elijah sat down next to her. Yeah, and she sounded like @#%$.

Of course she would. Damn him. Damn him to hell and backwell actually, I dont care if does come back. Jesus. First Orlando and now Dom. You think he would have learned something from his friend there.

You would think. But who knows what was going on in his brain. Sienna said herself, that he hasnt been right since they got here.

Dont make it right. Lauren said, standing up and pacing. Did she want me to call her?

Shaking his head, Elijah leaned back. No. But she wants us to pick her up at the airport tomorrow. She doesnt want to go home, so I said she could stay here until we figure something out.

Yeah. No problem. I think I should call Sam and give her the heads up. Lauren said thoughtfully.

Just make sure she tells none of this to Bloom. I can almost guarantee that she does not want him to know.

I dont want him to know either. He would be on the first flight here in a heartbeat. No the best place for him is as far away as possible.

Grabbing the phone, Lauren sat back down and dialed Samanthas number. It was early in England, but this was an emergency.

~ ~ ~ ~

Shes hasnt moved in two hours. She just sits there and stares out at the water. Maggie said as Emilie joined her at the doorway. And her phone has been ringing off the hook. I am sure that Dom has called, but I am willing to bet that Ian has placed a few himself.

Emilie sighed and turned back into the house. He has. And he is on his way over.

Maggie looked one more time at Sienna and sniffed back some tears. Maybe him being here will be good for her. How is Evi?

Emilie shrugged. Im not really sure. She took off soon after all of this went down. She didnt look good. And before we cast judgment on her, we should get her side of the story.

Nodding, Maggie forcefully agreed. Definitely. I am willing to bet that Dom lied to her. Evi wouldnt do this to someone. Not on purpose. So we talk to her first. I am wondering how this is going to effect the rest of the cast. Fortunately, not everyone was there today.

But unfortunately, we are like a small family and it will get around. I dont know how people will feel. I know at the moment I dont even want to look at Dom, and that bloody sucks because we are Charlie and Claire.

Maggie laughed a little. I guess I can be glad that my scenes with him are limited. He caught the fish for me. Im good.

Emilie couldnt help but laugh. True.

~ ~ ~ ~

OH God, no. Poor Enna. Samantha said, sitting on the edge of her bed. She knew something was wrong when her phone rang so early in the morning. Part of her glad that everyone was physically fine, but to hear what Dom had done to Sienna, after all that the poor girl had been through, was shocking. How could he?

We dont know, Sam. And I havent talked to Sienna. Lij did and he is really worried. We thought you should know.

Im glad you called. Maybe I will call her right now.

We dont think she is answering her phone.

I am sure of it. She would know that Dom would be trying to call. I just want to leave her a message. Let her know I am here for her.

One more thing, Sam. Orlando cant know about this.

I know. I wont say anything.

Okay, I gotta get going. Elijah wants us to try and call her again.

Alright, thanks for calling guys. Love you.

Love you to Sam. Give our love to Lan, too.

Will do. Bye. Hanging up the phone, Sam shook her head. This was unbelievable. How much was one person supposed to take? Sienna deserved none of this. Her best friend, Orlando, then Adi. And now this. Of course she would never tell Orlando what was going on. That was all that either of them needed. No she would make sure that her brother never got wind of the fact that Dom had cheated on Sienna.

~ ~ ~ ~

Dom stood in the shadows of the building, watching Ian. He knew that Ian was going to go to Sienna. And Dom was going to follow him. He need to see Sienna. To talk to her. Putting out the cigarette he had been smoking with his toe, he flipped his car keys in his hand and made his way to his car. Making sure that he was no more than three cars behind Ian, Dom turned left out of the parking lot. After driving for a few minutes, Dom realized that Sienna was not at a hotel. That could only mean that she was at someones house. Which meant he was buggered. There was no way anyone from the cast would let him near her.

F**K!, he said hitting the steering wheel. Now what was he going to do? He had to think of something. Twirling Siennas necklace, that he had placed on the rearview mirror, he sighed. He had to fix this. Somehow.

~ ~ ~ ~

Looking at her watch, Sienna realized that it was getting late. And that she was hungry. But she was afraid that she would be sick if she ate anything. Deciding to check her messages, she grabbed her phone out of her purse. Her eyes widened. Eighteen missed calls. Seven messages. She took a deep breath, preparing herself for the fact that most of them were probably from Dom.

Message One: Enna, love. Its me. I know you dont want to talk right now. God, I dont even know what to say. Just. Dont leave till we had a chance to talk.

Erase.

Message Two: Sienna, its Ian. Just checking in on you. Call me and leave a message. Let me know you are OK.

She smiled a little. Ian was a sweetheart. She erased the message and went to the next one.

Message Three: Sienna, honey. Elijah just told me what happened. I am so sorry, sweetie. Call me when you feel like it. And of course you can stay with us. We love you.

She couldnt wait to get home. Away from all of this.

Message Four: Enna, please, baby call me. I am worried about you. I know I dont have any right to be, but I do. And I know this probably means @#%$ to you right about nowbut I do love you.

@#%$ is right., she mumbled and went to erase it, but something stopped her. Tears burned the back of her eyes and she took a deep breath, finger hovering shakily above the delete button. He was a freaking liar, and she couldnt even erase his half assed message? She was pathetic. But she still loved him. Skipping to the next message, she berated herself an idiot.

Message Five: Sienna, sis. Its Sam. I know you might be a little shocked that I am calling right now, Elijah and Lauren called me. Are you alright? Call me. I dont care what time it is. Please. Just call me. Oh and Orlando knows nothing. I promise not to say anything at all to him. Love you!

Oh God, Orlando. He could never find out about this. Ever. She made a mental note to call Samantha as soon as she could talk without breaking down.

Message Six: Ok. I am coming over there as soon as I am done shooting my scenes. It has been like four hours and I am worried about. See you soon.

Erase.

Message Seven: Sienna, its Evi. Before you erase this and hate me for the rest of our lives, I just want you to know that I am so sorry. I honestly didnt know you and Dom were still together. So please, before you go back lets talk. I dont want you thinking the worse. Bye.

Sienna was a little shocked that Evi would call her so soon. But she had already been thinking that Dom must have lied or lead Evi on in some way. She didnt peg Evi as that kind of girl. She was probably a pawn in Doms twisted little game. Or whatever it was. Sienna didnt want Evi thinking she hated her. She added talking to Evi on her mental list of things to do before her flight tomorrow. Which reminded her, she needed to get her flight changed.

Hearing voices coming from behind her, she turned to see Ian standing in the kitchen talking to Maggie and Emilie. Smiling slightly, she stood up. Poor Ian was worried about her so she had best let him know that she was at the very least, alive.

Hey guys, she said quietly as she opened the screen door.

Ian set his sunglasses and cell phone on the counter and walked over to her. Hey. he said, wrapping his arms around her in a comforting hug. You OK?

Stepping back, Sienna shrugged. I guess. Sitting down on a chair by the kitchen table, she leaned her head on her hand. I just cant get the picture of them out of my head, she said quietly.

Ian pulled up a chair next to her. Im so sorry. He glanced at Maggie and smiled. Mags told me that you asked if we knew about this. I just want you to know, that today was the first time that there was anything to say. All we had up to now was conjecture and assumptions. We are just so sorry that you had to find out this way.

Sienna shrugged. I really shouldnt be surprised. Putting her head on the table, she let her tears fall again.

Ian sighed and rubbed the back of her head slowly. Wishing he could massage her hurt away. Want something to drink?

Tea? Emilie asked.

Pepsi, came the muffled reply causing snickers from the three of her friends.

You and your Pepsi. Emile said, pouring her a glass of soda. Maggie dropped a few ice cubes in the glass and set it front of her.

Picking her head up, Sienna smiled. Never got used to tea. Orlando always was teasing me about it.

At the mention of Orlandos name, a fresh onslaught of tears erupted. If she hadnt already forgiven him, Sienna could blame him for this. But deep down she knew Orlando had nothing to do with it. Dom couldnt let it go.

Maggie and Emilie look at each other as they sat down at the table. Are you going to tell him about this?

Shaking her head, Sienna took a sip. She had given a shortened version of what happened with Orlando, so they had at least some idea of what was going on. No. No way.

Orlando Bloom? Ian asked a little confused.

Ah..well.. Maggie said looking at Sienna and Emilie. Emilie just shrugged.

Sienna had to smile at the look of confusion on Ians face. It didnt surprise her that he didnt know about that. Dom didnt talk about Orlando much. Its a long story. However, one that I am sure will serve to make the present events even worse then you think they are.

Okay. Now you have me curious.

Standing up, Sienna went back out onto the porch. Maybe if she rehashed the last couple years with someone that wasnt actually there, she could figure out what happened with Dom. Looking out at the ocean, she wished she could just take a boat and sail away.
Sitting down on the steps. Sienna motioned for Ian to sit next to her. Long or short version?

~ ~ ~ ~

Knowing the layout of Maggies house, Dom parked his car a little ways down the road and cut down to the beach on foot. When he go to Maggies he leaned against a tree, well hidden from the people that were coming and going in the back door. Gritting his teeth, Dom squelched the desire to run up there and bodily remove Ian from next to Sienna. But then the rational part of his brain was telling him, well YELLING at him actually, that he had no bloody right to do anything at all about it. And from the looks of things, Sienna and Ian seemed to be deep in conversation. Taking a deep breath, Dom leaned his head on the tree. He would just stand there and watch her for a little bit. He needed at least that much. And maybe he could think about what his next step should be.

As promised...

Chapter 13

What are you doing out here, Dom? Maggie asked coming up to him.

Dom looked over and shrugged. I figured I wasnt invited, but I wanted to see her. HAD to see her.

Shaking her head, Maggie went up to him and put an arm around him. We all love you Dom. But right now, everyone is disappointed in you. After everything that Sienna has been through, how could you pull this? And drag poor Evi into it as well?

Dom knew he was a first class wank. Hell, he had known if for months now. But it was like, good Dom was watching bad Dom from afar. And not matter what he did, good Dom, could not get through to bad Dom. And he had been slowly pushing Sienna away since they had come back to LA.

What she said had been true. He couldnt look her in the eyes. He was afraid. Afraid of what he would see. But with Evi, well he knew that Evi was just seeing him. And he hadnt felt that connection is so long. Not that it was an excuse. Nothing he could say or do could excuse his actions. But that was, at the very least, a reason.

Maggie watched as several emotions played across his face. She knew he hated what he had done. But still, she had to ask. Has it even occurred to you, that you have turned into Oralndo?

Dom swung his head around to yell at her. To say that he was in no way like Orlando. That he was better than that. But then everything from the past few months passed through his brain and he blinked back some tears. He did become like Orlando. Looking at Sienna talking to Ian, he shook his head. How could he have done that to her? Why didnt he just talk to her? Bloody hell.

Standing up, he gave Maggie a small, sad smile. I best be going. Take care of her for me.

Maggie watched as Dom left. Seemingly leaving Sienna behind.

~ ~ ~ ~

Noticing a movement to her right, she saw him standing there. Watching her. Her heart gave a small skip. She still loved him. Even if she had known, deep down, that there was something seriously wrong, she loved him. Then he turned and walked away. If only she knew what he was thinking. What he was feeling. But that was the problem. He had stopped sharing himself with her. And now, here they were.

You OK, Enna.

Looking at Ian, who had been listening patiently to the story of her life, she shrugged. Not really. But I dont expect to be OK for a long while.

Ian wanted to kick the @#%$ out of Monaghan. He had known that something had happened in Siennas life that was traumatic, but he never knew details. Until now. And to know that Dom was there for the whole thing and still did what he did, was low,

I am going to fly back to LA in the morning and then I will decide what to do then. Lij and Lauren said I could stay with them. I cant go back to my place. Dom will look there first. At least at Lijs he can run interference and I can avoid him for as long as possible.

Ian thought a moment. Or you could stay at my place.

Sienna looked at him. Come again?

Ian smiled and put his arm across her shoulder and pulled her next to him. Dom would never look for you there.

Siennas looked at him. She had been getting the vibe for a while now that his interest in her was more than just friendly. Ian, I..

Shaking his head, Ian put a finger on her lips. He could read in her eyes what the problem was. Of course he couldnt hide his feelings for her, they were strong. But he would never, ever try and push her into something. Not now. Not when he knew for damn sure that she still loved Dom. And would probably for a long time to come. Before you say no, just think about it. No strings. No asking you for more than you can give. First and foremost, I want us to be friends. I know where your heart and soul is Sienna.

She wanted to cry. If things werent so f****d up, she could probably fall for him. But he was right. Her heart and soul were so tied up with Dom, she didnt think she would ever be able to move on. And because of that, she would have to turn Ians offer down. Despite what he said, she knew him. Deep down he would always carry the hope that she would fall in love with him. Ian, thank you. I appreciate the offer. I do. But I actually kinda have a plan in mind. And that is why I have to go to Lij and Laurens.

Ian smiled, and kissed the top her head. Ok. As long as you know that the offer is an open ended one. I will always be here for you.

She leaned her head on his shoulder. I know. And for that I will always be thankful.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Leaving the next day had been harder than she thought. Part of her wanted to stay and set things right with Dom. The other wanted to get the hell out of Dodge as it were. But knowing the fragile state she was in, Sienna knew better than to talk to Dom. He could charm the anger right out of her and she would fall into his arms with no problem. But that would not solve anything. Anything at all. Promising Maggie and Emilie that she would keep them up to speed on what she was doing, she hugged them and got on the plane. It wasnt until she was in the air and that she checked her messages that she heard from Ian. He had to film so couldnt see her to the airport. But had wanted her to know that he was thinking of her and to call him when she landed.

Please put your tables up and you chairs into an upright position. We are making our approach to LAX. Thank you for flying United Airlines.

Wiping the her tears with the back of her hand, she counted the minutes till she would see Lij and Lauren.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

There she is, Lij. Lauren said grabbing his hand and pulling him behind her.

OK.OK. Slow down, babe.

LAUREN!! LIJ!!! Sienna yelled seeing them coming towards her.

Sienna ran into Laurens arms and just broke down. Lij rubbed her back and shook his head. He could kill Dom for this. Absolutely kill him.

Sniffing back her own tears, Lauren caught Elijahs eyes. Elijah kissed her cheek. I love you, Lauren. He whispered in her ear.

After a few moments, Sienna picked her head up and looked around. Jesus. Im sorry guys.

Elijah pulled her in for a hug. Dont be, honey.

It was Laurens turn to rub her back. Why dont we head home, sweetie.

Lifting her head up she sniffed and nodded. That would be nice.

~ ~ ~ ~

What do you mean she left? She was just at your house last night. We need to talk, Maggie. You have to tell me where she is. Dom pleaded, gray eyes stormy and uncertain.

She went back to LA, Dom. She left on the first flight out. Maggie said again.

But

Leave her be, Monaghan. Ian said coming up behind him, grabbing an apple from the bowl.

Oh butt the f**k out, Somerhalder. This really is no concern of yours. Dom said, trying to control his anger.

Leaning down close to his ear, Ian laughed without humor. It is now. And then walked away.

Going to stand up to knock Ian on his ass, Maggie grabbed his hand. Let him go, Dom.

Sitting back down, Dom rubbed his eyes. Where did she go?

Sighing, Maggie looked over at Emile who gave her a weak smile. Elijah and Laurens. But you didnt hear it from me.

Eyes welling up with tears, Dom grasped her hands. Thank you, Mags.

Yeah. I didnt do it for you. You are still on my @#%$ list. I did it for Sienna. She needs to move on. One way or the other.

~ ~ ~ ~

He would never look for her there. Elijah said thoughtfully, after Sienna laid out her plan.

Are you sure? You want to go back to England? Orlando is there. Lauren said, shocked that Sienna would even think about going back there.

Sienna shrugged. Orlando is the least of my worries. I have a house there. Why not use it? Start over.

Lauren still wasnt convinced that it was a good idea. She had a very bad feeling about it. If youre sure?

Sienna wasnt sure about anything. She hadnt been for a long time now. In the mean time, I cant stay here. Dom is sure to find me. Which brings me to part A of the plan.

Elijah cocked an eyebrow. That was part B?

Sienna smiled. Yeah. I think I know where I can hide that Dom would never think to look.

Intrigued, Lauren smiled. Ineed? Do tell.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Taking a deep breath, Sienna rang the doorbell. This was a shot in the dark, but it was the only thing she could think of. The last place Dom would look for her. She had to stay somewhere, so could finalize her plans before leaving for England. Saying a small prayer as the doorknob turned, she smiled when it was opened.

Sienna? Came the shocked reply.

Hi, Amy. I need your help.

Chapter 15

Biding his time, Dom waited. Ian would HAVE to let go of his phone. At least for a second. Sitting alone at a picnic table, Dom sighed. He was an outcast at the moment. And he knew he didnt deserve any better. This whole bloody mess with Sienna was his fault. All because he couldnt let it go. And now he had to fix it. And get her back. He loved her too much to let her go without a fight. If only he had been like that before none of this would have happened.

Looking up when Ians name was called, Dom followed nonchalantly. It wasnt his scene so he had to pretend to be watching Ian and Mags filming theirs. When Ian threw his phone and wallet on a table, Dom made his way over. Once the action started, Dom made his move. Grabbing the phone, he walked gingerly away from the set and flipped it open. Perusing the contacts till he found Siennas name, he said a small prayer and hit TALK. And waited.

~ ~ ~ ~

Sienna and Amy had just returned from some shopping, Amys idea at trying to cheer Sienna up, when her phone rang. Looking at the caller ID, she smiled. Its Ian. I am just going to step out back.

Amy nodded and grabbed the bags and headed to the living room. Tell him I said HI!, she said with a laugh. She had never met the man in person, but had seen his loveliness on TV and had on occasion spoken to him when Enna told her to answer the phone.

Sienna winked and opened her phone. Speak babe. Traditional Ian/Sienna speak. In which Ians reply usually was Woof. There was no such reply and she stopped in her tracks. Ian?

~~~~

Dom didnt know what to do. He had a plan but upon hearing her voice all coherent thought fled.

Dom?

~~~~

Sienna closed her eyes. She would recognize Doms breathing anywhere. Answer me or hang up.

Enna

Sitting down on the steps on the back porch, she was torn between wanting to talk to him and wanting to hang up and throttle Ian. Why did he give you his phone?

Dont be mad at him. I sorta just took it off the table. He would never betray you.

~~~~

Like me, Dom thought to himself but let it unsaid since it was a given. I just want to talk.

What is there to talk about Dom? You cheated on me. And yes, maybe I deserved it. Maybe I should have been punished for what I did. But at least I was honest about it.

~~~~

Dom knew all of this to be true. All except her needing to be punished. She had really done nothing wrong. A victim of circumstances. And he fd it up royally. You didntdont deserve any of this. Baby, I am coming to LA in a week. It was the soonest I could get off. Please, can we talk then?

~~~~

Next week, Sienna though to herself. It was too soon. She couldnt see him. I dont think it is a good idea. Im not ready. Im not sure I will ever be ready.

We cant let it end this way. Not after everything. Please, love. Please. Im begging you.

Sienna blinked back her own tears upon hearing the ones in Doms voice. It would be so easy to fall into his arms. To forgive. But, she wasnt sure she could forget. Just like him. Dom couldnt forget. Im sorry. I cant. Goodbye.

With one push of a button she shut him out of her life. She just wished it would be that easy to get him out of her heart.

~~~~

Dom looked at the screen on the cell phone. Call Ended. Closing his eyes, he bent his head and shook it in disbelief. Along with the call ending, he felt like his life was ending too.

MONAGHAN if you have my phone I am going to kick your ass all the way back to England!!

Dom winced as he heard Ian yelling from across the set. Bugger. Standing up, he made his towards the younger man.

Dom?

Dom handed him the phone and met Ians eyes. I had to hear her voice, he said softly.

The sadness in Doms voice took the wind out of Ians outraged sails. Not cool, Monaghan. Not cool at all.

Sighing, Dom started walking away. Ian grabbed his arm. What did she say?

Shrugging, Dom turned back around. Not much. I need to get to her Ian. There is just so much @#%$ between us. Good and bad. We need to get it all figured out. I love her so much.

Ian wanted to berate Dom for being a daft prick, but he knew that Dom had beat himself up plenty already. But that didnt mean he would sell Sienna out. Well, hopefully next week you can see her.

Shaking his head Dom, snorted. I dont bloody think so. She said she dont want to see me.

Oh. Ian didnt know what to say to that. He had never mentioned Doms visit to Sienna, thinking that it was Doms place not his.

Listen, Ian. You had better call her and see if she is OK. She sounded on the verge of tears when she hung up.

After Dom walked away, Ian opened his phone and dialed Siennas number.

~ ~ ~ ~

Are you going to answer it? Amy asked , sipping her coffee.

Looking at the caller ID, Sienna was torn. If it was Dom, did she want to talk to him again? Or what if it was Ian? She let it go to voice mail. And then she heard the sound of text message being sent.

Its me Ian. Call me bck.

Smiling, Sienna dialed his number.

~ ~ ~ ~

Sienna! I am so sorry. I had no idea that he had taken my phone. Ian said in a rushed voice, before she yelled at him.

I know. He told me.

How are you?

Honestly? Shaken. To the core.

~ ~ ~ ~

I need to leave sooner, Dom said as he threw himself in the chair in front of JJ and the others who were in a meeting.

Several pairs of eyes looked up him from their notes. He didnt care. He knew he looked like @#%$, and he felt even worse. Dom had the feeling that Sienna was going to bolt and he wanted to get to her before she did.

Dom

He held his hand up to stop JJ from speaking. Look, I am going to be useless, unless I get this figured out. I bloody cant remember my lines right now, and Ive had them memorized for ages. He was hopping that taking the angle that his work was suffering would clear for an early departure.

JJ looked around and nodded at Daemon. Word around the set was that Dom and screwed up. And usually the rule was to keep ones private life and on set life separate. However, those two sometimes do collided. Shaking his head, JJ remembered a similar situation on the set of Felicity. That somehow managed to filter over onto Alias. Anyways, he didnt want to go through that kind of stress again. Go Dom. Get it taken care of, one way or the other.

Standing up, Dom shook JJs hand. Thank you.

Your welcome.

~ ~ ~ ~

Amy, its now or never. England. Are you with me?

Sighing Amy looked over at Sienna. Why did Dom have to call her? She had almost been convinced against the whole going to England. Ennaare you sure?

Sienna stood up and started pacing. Was she sure? Not really. But she was more sure about that, then seeing Dom. And the sooner she got out of LA the better. Yes. I have a house waiting for me. I can call Sam and she can get it ready.

OK, fine. But you do know that Orlando is going to know everything.

Sienna sighed. I know. Which is why, I am going to call him and tell him everything.

WHAT!?!?! Amy yelled.

Sienna blinked, stunned at her expression. Amywhats wrong.

Slamming in a chair, Amy looked up at Sienna. I cant go with you.

Sienna sat down next to her. Why not? YOU have to. Orlando will be there and everything.

Amy shook her head and wiped a few tears away. Doesnt matter. Enna, he loves you. Has never stopped loving you and told me so last night. I decided to cut to the chase and tell him how I felt. He begged me not to tell you. That it would do no good. But I had to. You need to know what you will be doing if you tell Orlando what is going on. Are you ready to deal with it? Ready to deal with Orlando?

Sienna just looked at Amy, shocked. I am so sorry. I had no ideaI..

Shaking her head, Amy grabbed Siennas hand. Not your fault. I am actually glad to know what is going on. Now I can try to move on..again. She finished with a wry smile.

I still want you to come with me.

Amy shook her head. I cant. I cant stand there and watch him look at you that way I want him to look at me. Im sorry.

Pulling Amy into a hug, Sienna started crying. I dont what I would have done without you these last few weeks. And I promise to try and fix things with Orlando.

NO. You have more important things to worry about. Like fixing things with Dom. And just for the record, running away to England is NOT going to help with that.

Sighing, Sienna grabbed her cell phone. I know. But right now, I dont WANT to fix things with Dom. I just want to hide and lick my wounds.

Amy watched as she made her call. Hey Sam, its me Enna. Can you call me ASAP? I am coming to England and need you to get the house ready. Thanks. And I cant wait to see you.

~ ~ ~ ~

Orlando stopped dead in his tracks. He was getting a drink of water and was heading back to bed, when the phone rang. He was about to answer it when the machine came on. And then his hand stilled just above the handset. It was Sienna and she was coming to England. To her house. Their house. Sitting down on the couch, Orlando smiled. His Sienna was coming home. Closing his eyes, he said a small prayer of thanks for what he was thinking was a second chance.

It wasnt until he was back in bed that he started thinking. And wondering what happened to cause Sienna to leave LA. And to wonder what Dom had done. He knew Sienna, and he knew that nothing short of Dom cheating on her, would cause her to leave him.

Orlando knew that he had a second chance here, but he also knew that it was going to be an uphill battle. One that he intended to fightand win.

Chapter 16

Yawning, Sienna rubbed the condensation off the window in the back of Elijah and Laurens car. The ride had been eerily silent after the screaming and yelling that occurred pretty much the entire night. Amy, Elijah, and Lauren had tag teamed her all night about going to England and how bad of an idea it was. Well, she knew it was probably the worst idea ever. But at this point in her life there was really nothing else she could do. Nothing else that she wanted to do. She was caught between and rock and hard place. Or more to the point, a Dom and an Orlando.

~~~~

Lauren kept sneaking glances at Sienna via her visor mirror and really wanted to say something. She didnt want her leaving with them angry at each other. She touched Elijahs hand and motioned towards the back and he just shook his head. Elijah was more pissed then the rest of them. He had known her longer and was very worried about what would transpire once in England. Ensconced in her and Orlandos house. The house in which Sienna had never saw fit to tell Dom about. Oh he knew about the house, just didnt know it was hers. Elijah knew this was going to get worse before it got better. He didnt know how it could possibly do that, he just knew that it was.

~~~~

Parking the car, Elijah turned and looked at Sienna. Enna. I just want to state one more time for the record that you going alone to the house that you and Orlando lived in, is a bad, bad, BAD idea. That being reiterated, we love you and dont want you leaving with us angry.

Sienna smiled and leaned up, resting her arms on the back of the front seat. I know. And I promise. Everything will be fine. Orlando moved out a few weeks ago, and he has been busy with a couple plays. I will get all settled in and then decided what to do from there.

Smiling, Lauren got out and opened the door for Sienna. Once she slid out of the seat, Lauren grabbed her into a hug. We love you. Come home soon. Please.

Sienna smiled sadly at one of her best friends. I am not sure where that is anymore. That is what I am going to try and find out. She turned and looked at Elijah.

Are you too pissed to give me a hug, Elwood?

Shaking his head, Elijah pulled her into his arms. Be careful. And dont do anything stupid. And by stupid, I mean getting hooked up with Orlando.

Sienna shook her head and grabbed her bags off the ground. I promise. Now we say goodbye, cause I have to go check in.

After kissing each of her friends on the cheek she made her way to the baggage check and got her luggage all settle. Looking at her watch, she sighed. She now had two hours to kill. God, how she hated all the new airline regulations.

~~~~

Dom knocked again. No answer. Elijah and Lauren werent home. He had hoped that he would surprise them. Or better yet, that Sienna would be there. He had no idea where she was. He had checked her apartment and nothing. He then checked his and that too was a dead end. Sitting on the steps in front of their house, he thought. Maybe he should just head back to his place and call them later. Standing up, he made his way back to the rental car and headed home.

Walking into his house after so long was a shock to say the least. There was a thin layer of dust over everything. And it eerie. Almost like no one had ever lived there. If it hadnt been for all their stuff, it would look like a ghost house. Dom thought a moment. Actually it was. The only thing that was in it was the ghost of him and Sienna. Walking around, he opened the curtains and let the late LA sun in. Getting to the study he went in and sat on the leather couch. Looking at all the pictures on the wall, he began to cry again. They were all of Sienna and his life. Where was she? He had to find her. Even if it meant seeing her hate him, he had to find her.

~~~~

Sienna had just closed her eyes to take a nap when her phone beeped letting her know she had a text message. She smiled when she saw that it was from Ian.

Have a safe flight. Call me when you land. Miss you already.

She messaged him back telling him that she would call and that she missed him too. Then she laid her head back down and closed her eyes. She was tired. Just so tired of everything.

Sitting up, Dom looked around and noticed that the house was encased in darkness. Looking at his watch, he sighed. It was eleven PM. He had fallen asleep for like six hours. Thinking that Elijah and Lauren had to be home by now, he ran to the car and went to their house.

~~~~

Elijah had just set his foot on the bottom step, ready to make his way up to bed when there was knock on the door. Walking over he opened it and stood there in shock. Dom?

Is she here, Lij? Please tell me she is here.

Shaking his head, Elijah motioned for Dom to enter and sit down. Im sorry Dom. Shes not.

Putting his head in hands, Dom began to shake and cry. Where is she?

Warring within himself, Elijah stood up and went to the window. She asked us not to tell you.

Standing up, Dom walked over next to him. You have to.

We cant Dom.

Both men turned to see Lauren coming down the stairs. As soon as she heard Doms voice she made her way to save Elijah. He wanted to badly to make sure that Sienna was no where near Orlando that without backup, she was afraid that he would spill everything to Dom.

Please Lauren. I need to make this right.

That may be true. But Sienna is doing something for herself for once. She is going to care of her and no one else. She had given so much of herself to everyone, and got nothing but @#%$ back. Sienna is safe. And she will come home. Eventually. But not if we betray her. Someone has to be a friend to her and keep a promise. And it may be small, but we promised to keep her whereabouts a secret until she is ready to tell you herself. IF she is ever ready to do that.

Hanging his head, Dom sighed. Every word that Lauren spoke was a knife to his heart. He knew he was one of those people that had given her @#%$. And Lauren was right. He needed to let her be. But he wasnt sure he could.

I love her.

You have a shitty way of showing it Monaghan.

Dom looked up at Elijah and nodded. I know.

When Siennas plane landed, she smiled. It had taken her months to get used to the time differences and now she had to do it all over again. Grabbing her bag from the overhead compartment, she took a deep breath and headed off the plane. By this time, Orlando should have received her letter. And she hoped to God that he honored her request to leave her alone, till she got settled. She promised to let him know when she was ready to see him. Or anyone else besides Sam. Who should be waiting to pick her up.

~~~~

The ride to her house was quiet. But a good quiet. Sam had screamed and hugged and screamed her excite some more before taking off, but then they settled into conversation. But Sienna did not want to talk about Orlando or Dom for the moment. She just wanted to get her bearings and get settled before she gave the complete four-one-one on her life. Sam knew the basics. And knew enough that, she too, thought that maybe running away to England was not the best idea.

Maybe it wasnt. But it was the only one she had. The lesser of two evils as it were. Or maybe it was like Elijah said. Jumping from the frying pan to fire. Who knows. But Sienna knew something had to change in her life. And soon.

~~~~

Do you want some Pepsi? Sam asked as she set Sienna bag down inside the door. And then laughed at the look on her face.

Actually, Lan sent a case over. With this. Sam handed her a letter.

Taking the letter, she sat down at the kitchen table and held it in her hand looking at her name written in familiar handwriting. The reply to her twenty page letter, telling everything that happened, leading her to come back to England. She figured he wouldnt have time to reply before she left.

Thanks. Want one?

Sam shook her head. No. I actually have to be going. I told them I would still come into work for a couple hours.

Smiling, Sienna stood up and hugged her. Thats Ok. I think I would rather be alone for a little bit anyways. Clear my head. Think about what to do next.

Ok. If you need anything call me.

I will. Love you Sam.

Love you too, Sis.

After Sam closed the door, Sienna grabbed the letter and a can of Pepsi and headed out onto the patio. Where she surrounded by memories. Of Adi swimming in the pool. Orlando sunning himself on one of the chairs. Shaking her head, she sat down and opened the letter and her can of soda.

Enna love,
