Eve sat on Rory's bed after getting a call to meet her at her house. The brunette grabbed the brunette's chin, turning her face to get a better look at the red mark under her eye. "You need to tell your dad or at least Freya so she can tell him, Ro. This is getting out of hand now." Eve placed her hand on Rory's leg while Finn went to go get a cold compress.

"I can't. I've told Esme, that's as far as I'm going. If he kills me then you lot know who it was." She shrugged, flinching when Eve pressed the cold cloth on her eye.

"Sorry." The girl apologised. 

"He won't hurt them or us. We won't let him." Finn told her, placing his hand on her shoulder.

Rory turned to look at him. "You don't know what he's capable of and I don't want to find out how far he'll go to hurt me. The threats are enough to scare me."

"Enough to make you start drinking." Eve pointed out with a raised brow.

"Yeah that too." She looked down, taking the cloth off her face. "I'll be fine, you go to school and I'll go see my dad at work."

"How are you going to explain the black eye?" Eve asked, looking at Finn who was looking at Rory with the same confused expression.

"Blame Finn, say we were play fighting and he hit me by accident." She shrugged. 

"Oh thanks." He rolled his eyes.

"Oh yeah let me tell him the truth then, oh by the way before you ask the black eye yeah funny story I laughed at something that wasn't actually supposed to be funny and my boyfriend punched me because I didn't stop." She rolled her eyes. "That would go down so well wouldn't it?"

Finn nodded. "Right, yeah."

"So you'll take the blame?" Rory asked, looking at him.

"On one condition." He nodded.

"What?"

"You tell him soon or I will."

"I will."

Rory had her head down whilst she walked across the street to steal Polly's sunglasses and then Finn and Rory walked Eve to school where Lottie was meeting her. "Everyone's looking you because you're walking with sunglasses on when it's not even sunny or warm." Eve deadpanned.

"Yeah well it's either this or one of the random blinders on the way seeing my eye and telling my dad or Tommy or even Arthur." Rory deadpanned back, side eying the girl from behind Polly's sunglasses.

As the trio turned around the corner a body bumped into Rory. "Sorry, couldn't see you!" She apologised, looking up to make eye contact with Louise.

"You'd be able to see me walking if you weren't wearing sunglasses." Louise placed her hands on the girl's shoulders to stabilise her. "Actually why are you wearing sunglasses? It's not even sunny."

"Headache, it's too bright." She smiled but the woman didn't believe her and saw straight through her fake smile.

"Right." The woman nodded slowly. "Are you going to see your dad?"

"Yeah." She nodded. "Where you going?"

"To see Lily and Meg." She replied. "Want to come?"

"I'll go see her in a bit. Said I'd go see my dad first."
