It was 3.30am Danielle had been sat with Jack for just under a hour now waiting to hear any news on Stacey make sure she was ok but she wasn't sure if she should call Jean or Charlie but then again Stacey would kill her if she did and all this was nothing. She felt hopeless sitting there outside the room while doctors and nurses passed them by without saying a word.
Jack – are you alright? Jack put his arm around her and squeezed her shoulder a little.
Danielle – yeah I just want to know shes ok thats all, no ones said anything for ages.
Jack – She'll be fine they're just getting the drugs out of her system. I've seen it before you know these young girls think it's great getting all these drinks bought for them and then the next minute they hit the deck the same with the date rapes but they just put them on a drip and get all the drugs out of her system and keep her for observation to make sure she hasn't taken anything else she'll be home by the morning don't you worry.
Danielle – how can you be so sure Jack
Jack – past experience Dan these things happen you just have to look after yourselves yeah.
Danielle – yeah I will.
Nurse – Hi your Stacey's friend Danielle aren't you?
Danielle rose to her feet as the nurse came from Staceys room.
Danielle – yeah i am can I see her is she ok?
Nurse – Yes you can she's sleeping now though so you might just want to pop in for now. We've got drug out of her system now but were keeping her on a drip just for the mean time but she'll be fine to go home in the morning.
Danielle – do you know what drug it was that she took?
Nurse – it's a common drug that we get a lot of young girls in with it's known as a date rape drug a lot of men spike girls with it to ensure they get a good night out. Danielle looked at Jack.
Danielle – so you were right then?!
Jack – yeah look you go in see Stacey I'll just have a word with the nurse here. He smiled encouraging her to go as she walked in to the room to her friend who lay looking very pale faced as if she had a bad hangover which she would in the morning. She pulled up a seat next to the bed taking Stacey's hand in hers.
Danielle – You scared me Stace don't let this happen again you need to look after yourself. You cant do this no more Stace you cant just get wasted and fall over any bloke anything could of happened to you tonight. Just then the door opened and Jack walked in smiling.
Jack – ok?
Danielle – yeah! Shes gonna have a bad headache in the morning though.
Jack – I bet she will. He yawned tiredly.
Danielle – thank you for coming tonight Jack I appreciate it.
Jack – oh don't worry about it I told you if you ever need me am here. Danielle smiled at him and gave him a hug.
Danielle – I know shouldn't ask but you wont tell mum will you, she'll only worry! He pulled a face at first not wanting to lie to Ronnie but then again he didn't want to make things hard between Ronnie and Danielle.
Jack – ok but if she asks me I don't want to lie to her ok.
Danielle – yes thank you Jack! Look am gonna stay here until she can come home so you can get back home if you want go to bed.
Jack – ok well just call me tomorrow and I'll come and pick you up.
Danielle – yeah ok I will thanx.
**********************************************
Jack felt little soft kisses on his back and soon realised it was morning already it felt like he'd only went asleep an hour ago.
Ronnie – morning
Jack – is it already? He turned to her laying on his back letting her cuddle in to him as he nuzzled his nose in to her hair closing his eyes.
Ronnie – yeah it's 9 o clock babe.
Jack – oh I think we should have a sleep in today
Ronnie – what oh come on Jack we had an early night last night. Did you hear Dan come in?
Jack – no I was sleeping.
Ronnie – no me neither I best go check she got in ok. Ronnie went to get out of bed but was pulled back down and cuddled again by Jack.
Jack – you cant just wake me up and leave me here.
Ronnie – well I thought you wanted more sleep
Jack – yeah with you though. She smiled giving him a kiss as she reached for her phone to check if Danielle had text to say she was staying out. "What are you doing Ron?"
Ronnie – I just wanted to see if she had text say she was staying out.
Jack – Ron she's a big girl go check her room if your that worried.
Ronnie – ok but you make me sound like am obsessed.
Jack – well yeah you are a bit I mean I understand I do but if you can't suffocate her she's 20.
Ronnie – I know I cant but this is all knew to me I just don't want to lose her that's all. Jacks phone bleeped twice and vibrated on the bedside table.
Jack – Hello? Right yeah course I will I'll be there in a bit. He put the down back on to the table and sat up in bed. "That was Bradley I said I'd help him and Syd move in this morning I totally forgot" He rubbed his eyes tiredly before getting out of bed.
Ronnie – well make it quick yeah you look exhausted. He smiled at her knowing that he had lied to her and knowing again that she would kill him when she found out but he was trying to win the trust of both Danielle and Ronnie and thought if he sided with Dan he'd stand more of a chance.
