Anne walked through the small airport with a hat on as well as her sunglasses, she sat down and waited for the plane to arrive, 10 minutes later she saw the gate open and people begin to step out from the corridor. She stood up and took a deep breath until she saw the petite girl, her heart broke seeing the girl look around helplessly, she looked broken and terrified

"Nikki?" Anne asked, Chandler looked at the woman

"Yes" she said quietly

"I'm Anne" she said sticking out her hand

"Nice to meet you" Chandler said

"Is this all you have" Anne asked, Chandler nodded her head "ok well come on this way and we will get you settled at the house" she said with a smile, Chandler smiled lightly and followed her out. She had sunglasses on to hide the bruise under her eye as well as her blood shot eyes from crying. She had a hoodie on to hide the marks on her neck and arms.

"Thank you for helping" Chandler said softly as they began to drive towards the house, she shifted in her seat uncomfortable due to her body being thrown around and hurting.

"I didn't tell my husband or my children exactly what happened, I figured if you wanted them to know you would tell them" Anne said, Chandler took her sunglasses off "I'm so sorry this happened to you" she said

"Me too" she said wiping away the tears

"I promise you Chandler, you will be safe here with us" she said Chandler smiled and nodded "Do you want to go by Chandler or is Nikki what you prefer"

"It's going to take some time to get use to Nikki but for safety reasons I need to go by it" she's said, Anne nodded.

The remainder of the drive home was quiet, Anne was afraid to ask any questions, she figured Nikki would talk to her when she was ready. When they pulled up Anne took Nikki around the house and through the pool area to the guest house

"here is the key, it works for the gate to the pool, to the guest house, and to the main house" she said, Nikki looked at he key then back to Anne "you have the pool right outside of your guest house, you are right outside of the main house, and then here is the house" she said opening the door "it's kind of small but you have a small kitchen with a microwave, a mini fridge, a pantry, here you have a queen sized bed and a bathroom, a tv with cable" she said looking around, Nikki looked around and smiled

"Thank you"

"And every night at 6:30 is dinner, the kids are home for the summer or at least Gemma is, Harry will be in and out with his band" she said, Nikki nodded and looked at the clock on the wall "you can shower and whenever you are ready come on over and meet the family"

"Ok" Nikki said, Anne smiled and walked out, she walked the few yards to the main house and walked in

"Your home, where is she" Gemma asked walking to the kitchen

"She's in the guest house, where is your brother"

"Sleeping because he is oh so famous and is oh so tired" she said, Anne chuckled

"HARRY" she yelled up the stairs

"HE ISNT HERE" harry yelled back

"Come here son" Anne yelled, she waited a few minutes until he appeared at the stairs, his hair a mess from sleeping

"What? Where is the girl" he asked walking to the table

"Guest house" Gemma said not looking up from her phone

"She's very quiet" Anne said getting both of her children's attention "I think it's worse than I thought" she said with a sigh

"What exactly happened"

"I don't know, I told her she could talk to me when she was ready" she said, harry and Gemma looked at each other.
