Chapter 20
Reunion

Ivy and Jack have been speaking on the phone for the past few days, she hasn't got the chance to speak to her dad about it because he's constantly been at work. The team are trying there hardest to find Foyet and Austin so that Hayley and Jack can come back home and Olivia can get justice. Ivy has asked Jack multiple times to put Hayley onto the phone so that Ivy can talk to her but he refuses to do it, Hayley has no idea that Jack has been talking to Ivy and he's afraid that he'll get in trouble.

Spencer returned to work the day after Olivia's funeral, Ivy was glad that Spencer could return to normality and she was glad to have some time to herself to figure out how she was going to carry on without Olivia. Ivy and Caitlin made plans to meet for a catch up after everything that has happened lately.

"Hey how are you feeling" Ivy asked as she walked into the cafe and hugged Caitlin tightly.

"I've felt better but I'll get there eventually... how are you" she asked as they both took a seat at the table.

"I'm trying to come to terms with everything... everyone else is moving on and going back to work and I don't want to feel like a burden to people so I'm trying to be as positive as I physically can be" Ivy vented as Caitlin listened intently.

"You've told me multiple times that I can take however long I want to come to terms with things... this isn't just something you can move on from she was our best friend and not having her here with us is going to be horrible but we have to take however long it takes us to process that and it's fine if it takes you years to get to that point because everyone who loves you will be there every step of the way with you" Caitlin spoke softly as she reached across that table and grabbed onto Ivy's hand.

"When did you get so grown up... Caitlin I'm sorry I dragged you into my plan to get Olivia out... I should have never involved you" Ivy mumbled as Caitlin squeezed Ivy's hand.

"Don't be silly Ivy I'm glad you asked me to help you... it shows how much you trust me and you're plan did work for a little while until it didn't" she spoke quietly as Ivy looked into the girls eyes.

"It worked up until he killed her in front of me to prove a point... he can kill anyone I love and he won't stop until we find him" she spoke as Caitlin nodded.

"Yes that's true but you have to look after yourself too Ivy and then the next time he comes back we'll all be ready" she said as Ivy looked directly at her.

"Yeah I guess you're right look how about we try and talk about something less serious so I can try to forget about everything for a little while" Ivy suggested as Caitlin called the waiter over to take there order.

The next few hours Ivy spent talking about university and listening to what Caitlin will do after she finishes school. Ivy's phone began to ring as Caitlin walked up to the counter to pay for there meal.

"Hey Jack is everything okay" Ivy asked as she answered the phone, he didn't usually ring this early in the day.

"Ivy me and mammy are on our way home can you believe it" Jack shouted in excitement as Ivy heard Hayley in the background.

"Jack who are you on the phone to... how many times do I have to tell you that you can't ring people of my phone" she snapped as he apologized.

"Now give me the phone Jack" she shouted as a muffled sound made it's way through the phone.

"Hello who is this" Hayley asked in a tone that Ivy hate heard before.

"Hey Hayley it's me Ivy... is everything okay you sound different" she asked as Hayley blew out a breath of relief.

"Thank god it's only you Ivy... I'm so sorry" she cried as Ivy began to panic.

"Hayley what's going on" she asked as Caitlin arrived back at the table.

"What's happening" Caitlin questioned quietly as Ivy shushed her.

"I heard about you're dad" Hayley cried quietly as Ivy looked over at Caitlin.

"Hayley I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about" she spoke as the sound of Hayley closing her car door replayed over and over in Ivy's mind.

"You're dad died t...today" she stuttered as Ivy stood up from her chair.

"What are you talking about my dad is fine he's in work... who told you this" she questioned as she headed for the cafe door with Caitlin following closely behind her.

"This man rang my phone and told me he worked for Aaron and that he died today... he said me and Jack weren't safe anymore and to come back home" she spoke quickly as Ivy panic began to rise.

"Is that where you are Hayley at our house" she asked.

"Yeah I only just got here" she answered as Ivy looked over at Caitlin.

"Okay Caitlin I need you to drive as quickly as you can over to my dads job... while you're on the way over ring JJ and tell her everything that's happened" Ivy ordered as Caitlin nodded her head in agreement and jumped into her car.

"Hayley I'm on my way over to the house now..." Ivy was cut off by Hayley panicking.

"It was him wasn't it... it was Foyet that called me earlier it was a trap and I feel for it" she cried as Ivy tried to calm her down.

"You were only trying to protect Jack... you did what you had to do and yes maybe it wasn't the smartest thing to do but you're both going to be fine I'm on my way and the rest of the team will be there shortly" Ivy spoke calmly.

"He's outside... Ivy he's getting out of his car now" Hayley shouted as Ivy drove quicker.

"Okay lock all of the doors Hayley and do not open them for anyone... I'll come in through my window I left it open this morning" she spoke as Hayley agreed and locked all of the doors.

Ivy could hear Jack crying in the background of the call and Hayley trying to reassure him that everything was going to be alright.

"Hayley put me on speaker please" Ivy asked as Hayley agreed.

"Hey buddy can you hear me" Ivy called out as Jack began to speak.

"Y...yes Ivy I can hear you" he answered.

"Everything is going to be okay I'm not too far away so I'll be there any minute now and dad is on his way with Spencer and all the rest of the team... do you trust me" she asked as the little boy laughed.

"Ivy that's a silly question of course I trust you" he giggled as Ivy smiled to herself.

"Then trust me when I say that everything is going to be fine... okay I'm pulling up to the back of the house now I'll see you in a minute... I love you both" she spoke as Hayley and Jack spoke in unison.

"We love you too"
