'' ... ', WAIT' yelled after her, while running after her. sped up, her view was blurry as tears ran from her eyes like a waterfall. saw her pace had quickened and did the same thing. He wasn't going to loose her, not tonight, not ever.

was watching the door, waiting for to arrive. He was going to tell her how he felt. None of the others were out with them tonight. It would only be the two of them. 'Well hello there' suddenly a girl stood next to him. Boldly she laid her hand on his shoulder. 'Aren't you that famous bloke?' she asked. could smell the alcohol on this girl’s breath. 'No, I'm not, I get that a lot' he flashed her a fake smile and let his attention go back to the door, where hadn't come through yet.
'Well you are a cutie' the girl turned his face to hers and smiled. 'Yeah, thanks. I'm waiting for someone' he grabbed the girls hand and pushed it away from his face. 'Oh darling, as long as she's not here. What she doesn't know can't hurt her can it' . Before could put a stop to it, the girl kissed him. He instantly pushed her off him, but somehow he knew the damage was done, his face turned to the door. He saw how 's eyes glazed over, turn and run out of the door. 'Woops' the girl beside him said. 'Yeah, thanks' growled, grabbed his jacket from the stool he had sat on and ran after ...


felt pains stabbing her in the side. She knew it hadn't been a good idea to go running, but what else could you do, if you wanted to get away from the person that just cut your heart from your chest and stamped on it before your very eyes.

****Twenty minutes earlier**

stepped out of the taxi. Her heart was pounding. She knew that none of the others would be around that evening. It would be a night for just the two of them. had called her up that afternoon, explaining how the others weren't going out and if she wanted to go out anyway, just with him, if she didn't mind. Not having a spare moment with him often (moments in which she always hoped he'd notice she was the girl for him, swipe her of her feet and kiss her) she had agreed. They'd have a drink at their favourite pub and then they'd go to a late movie. had spent hours in front of the mirror, picking the right outfit, the right shoes, the right make-up. She didn't want it to look like she'd made an effort, yet she wanted to make herself stand out in a crowd. She had eventually chosen for new jeans, an army printed tank top and her favourite ballerina's, that looked classy and sporty at the same time. Being a make-up artist for TV shows, knew that less was more and therefore, as always hadn't put much make up on. Now she was outside the pub, knowing that the man she loved was waiting for her to arrive, hopefully this was the night that would change the rest of her life. 'He's so gonna know, you put an effort into it' she said to her reflection, checking her looks one more time before she went in. grabbed the doorknob, pushed it down, walked in, looked around and then she saw him.... the world shook, the ground split and she got swallowed: his lips were on those of some stranger. In slow-motion she saw how pulled back and turn his head, bit her lip, couldn't control her tears, turned and ran straight for the door...


felt stabs in her side, even though she wasn't in bad shape, she wasn't used to running at high speed, feeling the pains sharpen, she slowed speed, knowing it would allow to catch up, it happened sooner then she expected. He grabbed her by the elbow. 'LET ME GO' yelled, punching and kicking him, knowing it wasn't any use, as was much stronger then her. 'LISTEN ' shouted. stopped struggling. Their gazes met and without a word, placed his lips on hers. was surprised, felt her heart skip a beat. Was this happening? Then she remembered that these lips had just kissed anothers. She pushed him off her. 'Don't you dare kiss me .' she spat. 'I love you. Always have' said, breathing heavily. was flabbergasted. She thought she had gone deaf, like she had stood next to the boxes of a sound system which had its volume up to its fullest extent. 'Wwwwhat?' she gasped. 'I love you , that girl back there was drunk. I didn't kiss her, she kissed me. I was waiting for you to show up. Watching the door like a hawk, and the one moment I didn't everything went wrong. , I wanted tonight to be for us. Just you and me, none of our friends around. I just needed to let out what I've been feeling for so long now. I love you with all my heart and I want to love you for the rest of my life. Can I have that chance?' looked deep into her eyes. 'I only want to be with you , there's no other man for me, only you. Is that a good enough answer for ye?' grinned 'Perfect' smiled and engulfed her with another passionate kiss.
