Spencer stood on outside of the VIP area watching Ashley dance with Kayla, she knew her wife would never admit it but she was definitely enjoying herself.

Paula and Arther had left moments before, complaining about being old and babysitters, she had smiled as they left, and wished she could of hugged them also, she missed her mum and dad.

She heard mumbling behind her and Glen stood up taking out a packet of cigarettes from his pocket and made his way to the courtyard, where all the smokers congregated.

Spencer looked over at Ashley pointing at Glen, Ashley nodded understanding the silent code immediately.

It was a short walk to the outside, and Spencer was surprised to find it deserted she rolled her eyes as glen lit the cigarette and pulled the smoke into his lungs.

"I can't believe you smoke" she smiled as a small smile tugged at her brothers lips.

"I don't know why I am having a go, you never listened to me in life, I don't know why I thought now would be so different"

her eyes were drawn to the ally below them, and in the corner she could see two eyes looking at her, it was too dark to focus on any features.

"Spencer" her name was whispered so lightly, she thought for a moment it had come from the alleyway, until she realised who it was.

She turned her head slowly and noticed with an ache that Glen wasn't even looking at her, she looked to where he was facing and in the moonlight she could see her own reflection and his glinting off the glass of the building opposite.

He didn't move his eyes fixated on the reflection, "OW" he dropped the cigarette which had burned down "Bloody stupid" he looked up again and a pained smile came over his lips, he could no longer see anything.

"Stupid" he turned away and went back into the club.

She put her hand to her face as he left, and wiped a few tears away, "Shit" she looked down at the alleyway again, if there had been someone there, he was now long gone.

She looked at her reflection, then at the sky. It was a full moon.

The pain came suddenly, it passed over her like a wave, she put her hand to her heart, then it was gone. She walked forward confused. It had been so long since she had felt pain, but it didn't take her long to grasp the sensation.

Then a second wave more painful than the first overwhelmed her, she fell to her knees, her eyes blinked tears forming quickly.

The third wave was too much she fell hard to the ground, she knew if she had been alive she would have been badly bruise. She dug her hands in to the slab beneath her. She was trying to hold on, something was pulling her away from this place.

The pain was intense clouding her mind, but one person stood out amongst the anguish "Ashley" She wouldn't leave her, not again, not so soon. She fought against the pain. "I" she pushed herself up "WILL" and dragged her body to stand "STAY" and walked, the pain left.

She got to the door of the club her mind clearer not fogged up with pain she felt nauseous, but continued to walk, once inside she felt relief flood her.

"Not tonight" she said to no one, she rushed back in, throngs of people dancing drinking laughing.

She only looked for one person, she caught her eye quickly, Ashley had obviously been looking for her when she hadn't returned from seeing Glen.

Ashley went to stand, she recognised the look of fear on Spencer's face, but the blond got to her too soon to cause any tongue to speculate.

"We need to go" Ashley nodded, though said nothing, stood quickly.

"Where you going?" Kyla looked up smiling.

"I..." Ashley didn't know what to say she had almost told her the truth, but Kyla read her sisters face, knew there was something wrong.

"Aiden, are you ok to drive us, I'm getting tired" He nodded sensing this was not the time to moan about wanting to stay out. He looked at Ashley she had paled considerably.

"Of course, See you Glen, have a safe journey back dude" Glen nodded shaking his hand and hugging the girls.

In the dark of the club nobody noticed how tightly Ashley's hand was being squeezed by someone that none of them could see.

And Spencer so caught up in the moment didn't notice a man behind her who was only had eyes for her.
