"Oi Dan, hurry up get this down ya!!" Stacey ordered as she placed a glass of neat vodka in front of Danielle. Danielle giggled and took the glass sipping it softly. "What was that, come on I thought this was meant to be a night out, now come on drink." Stacey demanded smiling as she looked at Danielle. "Ok then." Danielle chuckled as she necked back the glass and squirmed as she tasted it in the back of her throat. "Ahh now that is more like it, we are going to get drunk tonight." Stacey laughed as she swooned around the round. Danielle followed with her eyes as Stacey chuckled to herself.
Ronnie jumped as the door barged open and in came Roxy. "Oh sorry Ron, did I make you jump.... you ok.... you look tired?" Roxy said as she approached her sister rubbing her sister's arms as she approached her. "Yeah... yeah I am fine I was just thinking that's all." Ronnie whispered smiling up at her sister to reassure her. "So where is Danielle has she gone already?" Roxy chuckled as she sat down beside Ronnie. "Yeah she has been gone awhile, I know it is pathetic but I miss her already" Ronnie smiled as she said it. "It's not pathetic it's natural!" Roxy chuckled as she reached out for Ronnie's hand and squeezed it.
"Right, Vic for one or two and then over to R+R where the real partying starts ok Dan!" Stacey shouted from the front door as Danielle made her way down the stairs. Danielle smiled and followed Stacey out along the square. "Tonight is going to be great we will hardly spend a penny neither not now you're a Mitchell, they own half the square." Stacey boasted as she rambled on to herself. Danielle just smiled as she followed her quietly along. "OI Dan are you even listening, hello Dan!!!" Stacey shouted as she turned towards her friend. "Yeah sorry I was just thinking." Danielle smiled sweetly as she looked up towards Stacey. "Right well less of that come on let's get going." Stacey demanded as she grabbed a hold of Danielle's arm and dragged her into the Vic.
"Hey are you free later it would be nice to see you, I could pop over before the club closes for a nice hug love Jackxx" Ronnie smiled as she read the text and closed her phone just as Roxy entered the room. "Here you go Ron, made you a cuppa tea." Roxy smiled as she passed it over to her sister, Ronnie looked in amazement. "What I can make a cup of tea you know!!" Roxy chuckled as did Ronnie and they snuggled together on the sofa.
A hour or so later and Stacey was well and truly on her way she had pretty much drank one of everything on the top shelf at the Vic. Danielle was tipsy but not in such a state like Stacey was. "Stace don't you think you should slow down a bit, we haven't even got to the club yet." Danielle questioned her as she stood at the bar trying to hold her up. "Oh Danielle I love you , you always look after me, when I am in this state, your such a good friend, come on let's get you another drink." Stacey slurred her words as she pulled Danielle back towards the bar. Danielle wasn't really in the mood to be out tonight she just wanted to be at home in the warmth snuggled up on the sofa with Ronnie and Roxy, but she also had to be there for her friend and she had to keep her happy, so that was the only reason she was out. Danielle was getting annoyed though by Stacey's behaviour and it was obvious to everyone but Stacey. "Come on Stace, lets get you home." Danielle suggested as She tried to lift her from the floor. "No I want to stay Dan, please let me stay, I want to stay." Stacey whinged as Danielle tried pulling her up towards her. "No Stacey, come on you have had more than enough, you will thank me in the morning I promise." Danielle smiled as they both stumbled towards the door. "NO GET OFF ME WE'RE GOING TO THE CLUB!!!" Stacey screamed as she stood up straight and pushed Danielle away from her. "I am sick of you, Mitchells you have changed her!!" Stacey shouted as she pointed at Peggy and Phil who where stood at the bar. "Now you're one of them Dan, congratulations, you're a boring, stuck up Mitchell you've got what you wished for!!!" Stacey snapped as she looked up at Danielle. "Stacey your drunk come on let me get you home." Danielle avoided eye contact and continued to help Stacey towards the door. "No how many times do I have to tell you, I am going to the club, I don't need your help I don't need help from a Mitchell!!" Stacey spat as she cruelly scowled at Danielle. "Fine, do something stupid see if I care, you never listen your just a mad cow like your mum!!!" Danielle lost it snapping and shocking Stacey with her fighting spirit. Stacey bolting from the club running down the square towards the club. "Stacey, wait I didn't mean what I said Stacey!!" Danielle cried after her as she ran down the street.
"Roxy has just gone to bed, come over when you can I can't wait to see you love Ronxx" Jack chuckled as he read the message. He jumped up from his desk and strutted towards the door as he grabbed his coat smiling away to himself. "Hey I am just popping out for half an hour or so I left something at the flat will you be ok." Jack shouted over to Dawn. "Yeah sure go I will call if we need you!" She replied as she continued to serve at the bar. "Right see you in a bit." Jack smiled as he turned towards the steps exiting the club.
Stacey barged past him as she entered the club. "Oi watch it!" Jack shouted Stacey turned and sniggered before running towards the bar. "Hey Jack have you seen Stacey?" Danielle panted as she entered at the top of the steps; he turned and looked towards the bar. "Oh thanks Jack." Danielle smiled as she passed him and carried on towards the bar. Jack turned and grabbed her hand turning her towards him. "Is everything ok Danielle, she's in a bit of a state isn't she?" Jack whispered as they both looked over to Stacey. "Yeah, yeah everything is fine just, Stacey being Stacey that's all." Danielle chuckled trying her best to reassure jack but most of all herself. Jack smiled and squeezed her hand. "Ok well I will see you later on, have a nice night." Jack chuckled as he carried on up the stairs.
"Hey what's taken you so long?" Ronnie giggled as she opened the door. "Sorry was just talking to your daughter that's all." Jack chuckled as he instantly put his arms around Ronnie's waist and kissed her passionately. "Oh I see well you are definitely forgiven, how was she was she ok." Ronnie asked as she hugged him tightly in the doorway. "She was fine, just struggling to control Stacey that's all poor kid." Jack explained as he stroked through Ronnie's hair. "Ahh I like this we should do this more often." Jack whispered as he looked down into Ronnie's eyes. Ronnie just smiled giggling at him. "What, what is wrong with that!?" Jack joked feeling slightly embarrassed. Ronnie silenced him by kissing him again.
"Alight Dan, come to make an apology have you, well I tell you something, you and me we are through we are done, so there is no point wasting your breath." Stacey chuckled as she pointed towards Danielle waving her glass around in her other hand. "Stacey come on, you don't mean that you drunk." Danielle whispered as she tried to reason with her. "Don't patronise me, I know exactly what I am doing and what I am saying and I don't need you so go away leave me alone." Stacey snapped back spitefully. "Ok well I will leave you alone but if you change your mind I will be in mum's office waiting for you." Danielle uttered as she walked towards the office door leaving Stacey alone at the bar.
Danielle sat alone on the sofa, thinking through the evenings events, she was so tired, she just wanted to be at home right now in her bed. She crawled onto the sofa and snuggled into the blanket as it smelt like Ronnie and she loved that. Gradually she fell asleep cuddled up comfortably on the sofa in front of Ronnie's desk.
"Are you not cold yet, we have been out here ages." Jack giggled holding Ronnie tighter. "No not when I have you here to keep me warm." Ronnie smiled as she again kissed Jack for what was like the hundredth time in the last twenty minutes. "I really am going to have to get back to the club soon though." Jack sulked as he kissed Ronnie's neck. "Well I am going to come with you, it will be nice to meet Danielle and then you can walk us both home and maybe you could come in for coffee, whilst I try and sober up them two." Ronnie giggled as she lent her chin on Jacks shoulder. "That would be nice, I don't think I would be able to prise myself away from you at this very moment." Jack chuckled which made Ronnie laugh out loud.
Stacey was still acting out of control she was drawing attention to herself, but that wasn't bothering her. "Hey love do you fancy a dance." Came a dark voice from over Stacey's shoulder. She turned to face him and smiled as he looked down at her. "I am alright thanks I am ok here." Stacey chuckled as she laughed in his face. "Well that's not very nice I was going to buy you a drink." The man chuckled suspiciously. "Well when you put it that way how can I say no." Stacey smiled. "You wait here handsome whilst I freshen up double vodka, see you in a minute." Stacey chuckled as she stroked his chest. "My name is Stacey and what are you called?" Stacey giggled as she fell into him. "My names Marcus." He chuckled as she staggered towards the toilet.
Minty was watching them both at the bar, once Stacey was out of sight. Marcus ordered the drinks from Dawn. Minty continued to watch as he saw Marcus fiddling in his pocket. Out of his pocket came a same packet of white powder which he emptied into one of the drinks. Minty stood up and walked over to Marcus tapping him on the shoulder. "Oi you had best think again mate, I have just watched you and I know what you're up to." Minty whispered as he talked over Marcus's shoulder. "Yeah well I bet you didn't see this one coming." Marcus shouted as he turned and pointed a gun towards Minty's head. Within seconds the club was silent and the music had stopped, everyone even the completely intoxicated were silent and still as they watched what was happening in front of them.
"Right mate, calm down ok take it easy... ok!" Minty uttered as he raised his hands slowly above his head. "Don't tell me what to do, don't ever tell me what to do!!" Marcus screamed as he shot up into the air, shooting one of the light fittings making it instantly darker.
Danielle woke instantly as she heard the gun fire, she panicked as she realised she was alone she could hear screams coming from the bar and shouting someone was shouting. She stood up and slowly made her way to the door spying through the window as she tried to see if she could see Stacey.
Stacey was singing away to herself in the toilet at the time as she washed her hands. The gunshot went off but Stacey was probably the only one oblivious to it at the time. She spent ages at the hand dryer as she dried her hands, chuckling away to herself. Once she had finally finished she stumbled towards the door and fell against it crashing through it, into the corridor.
Jack and Ronnie where linked together, as they walked down towards the club, they were laughing and joking. However they both froze when they heard gunshot coming from the club. They turned to each other and then Ronnie let go and screaming Danielle as she ran towards the club. Jack quickly followed both panicking as they entered the club.
