After a few minutes Sheelagh followed Jo up the stairs. She found her sat on the landing. She sat down beside her and tried to put her hand on Jo's shoulder but Jo stood up quickly,

"You gonna tell me why I feel like there's more to this than I'm catching on to?" Sheelagh whispered

"I…I can't…I wish I could but I can't, sorry!" Jo looked at Sheelagh, dreading making eye contact,

"Jo you can't keep me in the dark forever…I need to know"

"I…I sort of…"

"you sort of what?"

"Well…I mean…"

"what?"

"I do…kinda of…"

"JO YOU'RE DRIVING ME MAD" Sheelagh shouted

"I THINK I'M FALLING IN LOVE WITH YOU OKAY! THAT WHAT YOU WANTED TO HEAR?" Jo shouted back. Sheelagh stood up, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have told you"

"Its fine Jo! Now come on, we've got more wine to drink!" They went downstairs into the lounge and sat in silence drinking their wine. When the initial shock had disappeared, Sheelagh looked at Jo,

"you alright?" she asked

"Yeah…think its you that should be asked that one!"

"I don't mind! Honestly…If I did, would I still be here?"

"good point!" Jo smiled, Sheelagh didn't know what it was but she suddenly got a rush. A warm feeling inside and her heart skipped a beat. She giggled,

"What you laughing about?"

"Well…you're freaking out about me knowing but I've just made a discovery"

"Oh yeah? What's that then Mrs Scie…" Sheelagh cut Jo off with a kiss. On pulling away she smiled

"I kinda feel the same"

"Wait…Did you just…Am I…Is this…wow" Sheelagh laughed,

"didn't realize I'd have that affect!" Sheelagh stood up and left the room. Jo took a moment to contemplate, the most amazing person on the planet, well in her eyes, had just kissed her. After a minute Jo good up and left the living room. When she entered the hall, she felt a draft and realized Sheelagh must've gone outside. She moved towards the door and found a note on the cabinet next to her,

"sorry Jo…I just can't cope, my religion is against homosexuality and after Gabriel…I don't see what life has to offer…bye" she read aloud

"oh st" dialing 999 on her mobile and leaving her house, Jo tried to think of somewhere Sheelagh might go. Her car was still there so she hadn't driven anywhere which meant she hadn't got far.
