We reunite with our protagonists two months after we last saw them. Elise is home from hospital and no one has heard from Jason. Stampy and Squid have returned to England, and Emily and Mitch finally paid off their debt to Ashley.

"Hang on a second Tyler," I held the phone to my chest and called up to Lillie who was with Elise playing minecraft. "Okay she's coming, give her a second. No Tyler she hasn't forgotten who you are, you two are getting married in a month. Yes I'm sure."

Tyler was in Canada with his family for a week, and he phoned me every day to talk to Lillie. The reason he didn't call her directly is because he didn't want to be embarrised if she didn't like him that way. To which I called bull because they were engaged.

"Tyler, give her a second. I'm pretty sure she was playing a round of hunger games. Yes without you. How do I know? Because I had to give Elise the passcode to play on Adam's computer since Lillie was playing on Elise's. Don't cry over the hunger games," I found one thing out in the three days he had been gone so far, he had seperation issues from Lillie. It also confused me that he didn't bring Lillie with him in the first place. But that's Tyler for you.

"Tyler. Listen to me when I say this. Tyler! Lillie loves you very much, so please call her tomorrow and not me. As much as I enjoy your company, whining down the phone is not as fun. Yes I know it's surprising."

Lillie came down and took my phone, which I graciously gave to her and waited for her to walk back upstairs with it. The tone in her voice said it all when she started to walk away, she too was done with his phone calls to me. Thank you Lillie.

I finished making the sandwiches I was making and put them on plates and grabbed the multipacket of chips to deliver lunch to everyone. I found a big tray that I could fit it on and headed off. My first stop was Mitch and Jerome who were playing monopoly with Emily, they grabbed a sandwich each and then they all chose salt and vinegar chips. Next up was Ian and Quinten's room; they were playing pixelmon and Ian was trying to catch an articuno. Quinten chose Ian's chips and grabbed both lunches to save me from waiting there for long. Eventually I had gotten around to everyone and received my phone back from Lillie. Tyler had gone because his mom needed him to do something for her.

I took a seat next to Elise and watched as she intently played hunger games. She'd made it to the death match and killed Lillie straight off the bat. I started laughing causing her to turn her head to look at me. She smiled and went back to playing again. Needless to say, she won.

She'd been making slow progress with her speech, having to go speech therapy helped. But on the front of getting the memories from that week back? Nothing. And I think that made us all glad.

Elise, she's only young, 16, yet she's been forced through so much stuff. I'm not going to sit here and pretend that the rest of us have had it easy, but none of us had ever been kidnapped by their childhood abuser and the psychopath that killed one of our friends.

And poor Chloe. I think she's had it even worse than Elise. Her parents were killed in a robbery and she was kidnapped, all of which was staged by James, and before that her older sister was murdered. She's completely alone. But at least now she has us.

Adam signed the adoption papers a couple of weeks ago, so Chloe is now legally under his care. I feel bad for Adam too, he has to take care of two children - well a child and a teen, he has to deal with Elise and Ty's problem, and he also had to fight for Elise in court, twice.

The first time he fought in court for Elise, was him literally fighting in Elise's name due to her inability to speak. We all pushed for full charges against James and Mike, but since Elise wasn't able to remember what exactly happened, the judge had to make the decision to go half way.
