'I can't believe she's gone' I cried

'She's in a better place now'

'Will you stay with me?' I turned to the boy whose shoulder I've been crying on.

'Of course Katie' He smiled and I smiled.

'Promise you'll never disappear and leave me' I said hopefully. He thought for a moment

'I promise.' We stared into each other's eyes for a moment 'Trust me' he said kissing me on my forehead. We went to sleep. The next morning I woke up to an empty room and a simple note

Trust Me.

Somehow I've never been able to trust anyone truly since.

Kat's POV

'You look beautiful Kitty' W. the fifth is staring at me with loving eyes as I emerge from the bathroom and into my bedroom. I was wearing a strapless purple ball gown with black strappy heels that Gabrielle had insisted I wear.

'Not too bad yourself...Walter?' Hale was wearing a black tux that fitted him perfectly. He chuckled with my attempt to guess his name.

'Not even close' He stood up from my bed and walked towards me wrapping his arms around my waist. 'Are you ready?'

'Always' He took my hand and we walked down the stairs to find everyone else dresses up to the nines like us.

'About time' Gabrielle said fixing her lipstick in the mirror.

'Well let's go!' Hale said leading us out of the mansion towards the limo waiting outside.

After a half an hour journey, we arrived at the Marcellto Hotel where tonight's event would be taking place.

'Right' Simon said handing us our earpieces 'Everyone knows the plan?' We all nodded.

'Let the party begin' Hale said leading me out of the limo and into the Hotel. The whole place was decorated in expensive silk ranging from red to white. Although this would be the first think any guest would see; for a burglar like me we immediately look for surveillance cameras and exits. 32 camera, 13 exits. 'Ready?' Hale's breath tickled my neck, I looked into his eyes and nodded. He led us over to a middle aged man who was wearing an equally expensive suit to Hale's and shook his hand.

'Mr Rogers, allow me to introduce my girlfriend Katarina' Mr Rogers attention diverted to me and he held out his hand.

'Welcome Katarina, I've heard so much about you' I shook his slightly sweaty hand and smiled. Hale placed his hand on the base of my back.

'It's lovely to meet you too' I said innocently

'So Mr Hale, should we discuss business?'

'Gladly, I'll see you later Kat' Hale kissed me on the cheek before disappearing with Mr Rogers

'Phase one complete' I said as I walked towards the catering table at the edge of the dance floor where Gabby was standing.

''Okay Simon ready for phase two' Gabby said

'Okay first of all; Hale keep up what you're doing, Hamish and Angus the coast is clear you can move.' Simon's voice filled my ear. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the two brothers moving towards a pair of double doors in the far side of the room.

'Should we move?' Gabby asked me

'Wait for it.' I said taking a sip of the champagne. Suddenly the lights flickered ever so slightly before returning to normal, it was a blink-and-you'd-miss-it moment.

'Okay now go.' I turned to Gabby but she was already sauntering off through another door. I stood still for a moment listening to the sound of everyone working. Then there was static.

'Guys?' I said. Nothing. 'Guys?' Still nothing. 'If you can hear me Gab I'm heading your way' I made my way across the dance floor, I was almost at the door when…

'Hello Katie' A deep voice said from behind. I froze the the spot, my heart seemed to stop. I turned around in shock to see the person who left me the day my mother died, the day I needed my best friend and he vanished without saying goodbye. His brunette hair was short, but longer than before, he had more muscles that before as well. He had a stubble across his jaw and his blue eyes were glistening with joy.

'Jamie' I exhaled.

'It's been a while' He said stepping towards me

'It has' I snapped

'You look even more beautiful than before Katie' He had closed the gap between us to a mere few inches

'Thank you' I mutter

'Is this the great Katarina Bishop speechless?' He teased

'Why are you here?'

'I'm enjoying the party.' He gestured around the room before looking back at me 'May I have this dance?' He extended a hand out. My brain was telling me it was a bad idea, my gut was telling me it was a good idea, and my heart felt like any moment it would burst. My hand took his and he led me to the middle of the dance floor, he placed his other hand on my hip whilst mine was on his shoulder. He was swaying us to and fro. I couldn't take my eyes of his and neither could he.

'Enjoying the view?' He smiled

'I have a boyfriend' I probably sounded petty but it was the only thing I could think of. He continued to smile, although it didn't reach his eyes.

'Katie's all grown up'

'I had to, I lost my mother and my best friend in less that 48 hours. It made me rethink who I trust.'

'Do you trust me?'

'No.' I snapped

'Katie you should.'

'You left' I pulled myself out of his grasp and started walking away

'I'm back now' he said from behind grabbing my wrist, spinning me to face him.

'That doesn't change anything' I whispered.

'Katie, it changes everything' His smile returned to his face and his eyes were glowing

'How so?' Before he answered the lights went out, his grip on me disappeared. 'Jamie?' I called out. When the lights came back on he had vanished like he did all those years ago, leaving me shocked, standing in the middle of the dance floor alone.
