"Michaela! Beth! I'm so glad you could both make it!" Zoe squealed excitedly as she saw her two childhood best friends.

"We wouldn't have missed your wedding for the world Zo." Michaela replied just as excitedly as she threw her arms around the new Mrs Walker.

"I never expected you to get married! You always preferred one night stands to relationships." Beth pointed out before she joined the group hug.

"I knew there was a reason that I missed you Beth, shame I haven't found it yet." Zoe replied sarcastically, the three of them had been inseparable all the way from primary school to university where all three of them studied medicine, just different branches. Whilst Zoe had gone into emergency medicine, Michaela had gone into neurology and Beth into cardiology, meaning they hardly saw each other as they were all so busy. "Anyway, I need to go and find my husband but I expect a drink with you girls later."

Zoe walked off in the direction of where she'd last seen Max, bumping into several of her friends in the ED on her way all of whom seemed to be having a good time, even Connie. In the corner of the marque she spotted her new husband with his step sister and two of his best friends, Lofty and Cal, sensing she wasn't needed she headed in Charlie's direction.

"So Mrs Walker, how are you feeling?" Charlie asked as he handed Zoe a glass of champagne.

"Happy." She replied, the beam on her face and the slight twinkle to her eyes confirming the words that were coming out of her mouth. Charlie had been her stand in dad for the day as he parents couldn't make the wedding that had been planned at such short notice, he'd given her away earlier in the day as she walked up the aisle towards the love of her life.

"I've never seen you look so happy, I'm glad you have Max, he balances you." Charlie told her, smiling as he saw Max call Zoe over and the smile on the woman in front of hims face expand. "Go on."

She moved as fast as she could in the wedding dress that she'd chosen, which like most of what Zoe Hanna wore, was not overly practical. It was mere seconds before she reached Max, who immediately kissed her.

"Fancy going out for a cigarette?" Max asked, gesturing towards the pack of fags in his inside suit pocket.

"No, I don't want my wedding dress to stink of smoke." She explained, leaning forward to kiss her new husband purely because she could and then watched as he weaved his way through the dance floor which contained pretty much everyone who was at the wedding reception. She watched as several people stopped him to offer their congratulations and then turned around to her new sister in law, as Max was swallowed up by the crowd.

"I'm glad Max married you, you're good for him." Robyn spoke, offering her new family member a smile. "Ooh, I love this song, wanna dance?" Robyn asked no one in particular and headed off in the direction of the dance floor with Lofty and Cal hot on her heels.

Zoe took a step back, watching for a second as she watched everyone dancing happily, Robyn had even got Max to stay in to dance with her for the song that she apparently loved. When she'd first met Max she'd never expected to be stood at her wedding reception having married him earlier in the day, in fact she'd never really pictured herself getting married and yet here she was. The loud music seemed to be pumping everyone up, taking a drink from the table behind her she downed it. A loud bang boomed over the music and suddenly the room was filled with screams and the air became panicked before yet another blast filled the air. Everything seemed to go into slow motion as she watched her closest friends and her new family being forced to the floor from the pressure of the explosions. The power outage brought Zoe back to her senses and screams could still be heard as well as sobbing, especially now that the music was gone. Part of her wondered whether this was just a bad dream but the majority of her knew that it wasn't.
