A/N: I've changed my username. Wanted a little bit of a change :) X
Lauren and Dylan were sat on the sofa, two hot chocolates in their hands, keeping them warm.
'Lovely house' she said. It was true. It was a lovely house. It was homey and cosy, just like a house should be. The fire flickering gently, casting shadows on the wall behind them.
'Thanks. So... Where you from originally?' Dylan asked, his Geordie accent sounding strong. Lauren took a sip of her hot chocolate before answering.
'London, but then I moved up to Walford, in East London when I was about 14 and been there ever since... Until two months ago' she said, smiling.
'Why? If you don't mind me asking?'
'Just a massive row with my parents and I stormed out..' she lied. Dylan sensed she was holding something back, but decided not to push her. He opened his mouth to ask something else when her phone rang. Lauren rolled her eyes at the caller I.D.
'Maddie, I'm fine. No need to-' Lauren's sentence stopped dead in her throat and her eyes widened...
Maddie finished off her drink and headed for for the bar. She smiled at the bartender.
'Vodka and Soda please' she asked politely. The bartender nodded and set about making her drink. She sighed and rubbed her head. She was adamant to her that this was the last drink of the night for her. She felt someone stand next to her, but she ignored who it was and got her money out of her purse and paid for her drink.
'Thanks. Keep the change' she said, smiling at the bartender, before picking up her drink and walking away. She had only gone a few steps when someone grabbed her arm, spinning her round.
'Whoa. Hands-' Maddie's voice stopped in her throat. She blinked and her mouth opened and closed for a few seconds before finding the strength to talk.
'What are you doing here?' she asked
'Is she here? Where is she?' asked Joey, his grip o her arm loosening a little bit
'Who?'
'Don't play dumb with me. You know exactly who I'm on about! Where is she?' said Joey. Maddie swallowed and stuttered her response.
'L-Lauren's not here!' lied Maddie. Joey scoffed
'That basically means she's here' said Joey, smirking
'How?'
'How did you know I was on about Lauren? I didn't mention her name' Joey said cockily, smirking. Maddie started to panic and on impulse threw her drink over him, to give her time to escape. She rushed from the club, Kate rushing after her.
'MADDIE? MADDIE, WAIT!' Kate shouted, as Maddie slammed the door to a cab shut. Kate pulled it open and got inside, just as the cab started moving.
'What was that all about? WHat happened? she asked. Maddie didn't reply. She was looking for her phone in her bag. She unlocked it and dialled a number. It rung four times before Lauren answered.
''Maddie, I'm fine. No need to-' Lauren started to say, however, Maddie hurriedly cut her off
'Joey's here... And he's looking for you!' said Maddie, hearing Kate gasp beside her
'Oh god! Right I'm on my way back, See you soon' said Lauren quickly before hanging up...
'What do you mean Joey's here!' shouted Lauren as she slammed the door to the apartment shut. Kate and Maddie turned their heads at the sound of Laurens voice.
'He turned up at the club we went to... He knows your here because I accidentally let it slip' said Maddie. Lauren gasped and her eyes filled with tears
'I'm sorry, Lauren! It just came out. I didn't mean to...' cried Maddie. Lauren looked at her, thoughts swirling round her head. She turned on her heels and rushed from the apartment, grabbing her car keys along the way.
'LAUREN!' screamed Maddie, aiming to run after her, but Martin and Kate held her back.
'Just give her some space' said Kate, as Martin pulled Maddie in for a hug to calm her down...
The next morning, Joey woke up, groaning in his hotel bed. His head felt like elephants were stomping on it. He stumbled to his bag and unzipped the bit where he had placed some paracetamol. He took two of them, swallowing them down with water from the bathroom. After having a shower and freshening himself up, Joey headed out to the café he knew was close by. He headed inside and ordered a bacon sandwich and a coffee to go. He smiled and paid, accepted the change and walked out, his mind on Lauren. Where would he find her in Newcastle? He was certain she was here...Unless Maddie got to her before he did and warned her. He sighed and sat down on a beach, taking a bite out of sandwich when his phone rang. He dug into his pocket and sighed at the caller ID.
'What is it, Max?' he asked
'Joey, where are you?' asked Max. His voice sounded strange, almost strangled like
'In Newcastle, why?'
'How fast can you get back down here?' Max asked, his voice cracking. Joey sat up in alarm, his senses on full alert
'Max? What's happened?'
'They've found Lauren's car by the canal... They've found a body in the canal. They say it's looking likely that it could be her' Max said. Joey's heart almost stopped, causing a pain to stab him in the chest, leaving him slightly breathless.
'No... No, please' whispered Joey, hanging up and sprinting towards the nearest train station...
R&R :D X
