danielle-"so where too now?" danielle questioned as they left the resturant "maybe we could pop to the vic, have a quick drink, i'll ring stacey see if she fancies one?" she played along so ben wouldnt know that she new

ben-"no" she almost shouted "no" he took her hand and pulled her close "how about we just go for a walk, its a lovely night" he leaned in and kissed her passionatly which was shortly inturpted by danielles mobile ringing, she pulled back and rumaged through her bag trying to find her phone.

danielle-"oh, its mum..hello?" she smiled at ben "she wants to know if we wanna pop to the club, the class has finished early" he nooded "ok, see you in 5 minutes" butterflys tickled her stomache at the thought of seeing her old school friends and family "you sure you want to go?"

ben-"yeah, why not"

danielle-"well a minute ago you didnt wanna go to the vic, we dont have to if you dont want too, we could just carry on walking"

ben-"the clubs more private, staring at that big bauld guy all night is not what i call having a glamours birthday" he laughed

danielle-"that big bauld guy my cousin" she laughed "true though" she took his hand as she led the way to the club "mum" she shouted "she must be through the back" she laughed as she tried to find her way through the dark staircase "hello?" he setence was cut off from the club lights turning on followed from a lould cheer of suprise, her eyes scatterd around the room taking in the faces that she once new and weas brought up with, ronnie walked towards her with a glass of champagne

ronnie-"happy birthday beautiful" she passed her a glass followed by a large kiss to her forehead and a tight hug "enjoy your night" she whisperd as she joined roxy by the bar.

danielle-"cant belive you all came down, zoe, sarah" she hugged them "dad" she smiled lovingly at him, she didnt approch him but instead waited untill he made the first move which thankfully he did

andy-"oh, danni i've missed you so much, you look beautiful your mo..lizzi would be so proud"

danielle-"i wish she was hear too, all together" she smiled back at ronnie "fresh start? i need you in my life too"

andy-"fresh start, i was to stuborn to accept it before but i can see how happy she makes you and i can see how much you love each other" he held her tight one last time before letting danielle go off to greet more guests.

stacey-"happy birthday you" she hugged danielle passing her another drink

danielle-"stace, you came" she grinned

stacey-"course i have, what makes you think i wouldnt, come on get that down you girl, it is a party isnt it" she laughed as she walked off to introuduce herself to a group of guys

as the night went on slowey but surely the music became loulder as did the guest with alcohol loosing there ambitions and dancing to 80s music danielle couldnt of planned for a better night

ben-"are you having a good time babe?" he wrapped his arms around her waist, she copied him by throwing her arms around his neck and brought him in for a kiss as andy and ronnie watched on.

andy-"danielle never introduced me to that guy" he stated

ronnie-"thats ben, her boyfriend"

andy-"how long has she had him for?" he questioned before turning to face ronnie

ronnie-"couple of months, there never apart" she laughed

andy-"i cant belive how much she has changed, she was always so reserved as a child, you have helped her out of her shell"

ronnie-"i think we have both helped each other, bens made her alot more confident too" she smiled as she looked on to danielle kissing ben

andy-"do you let him stay over" he bit his lip "im sorry, i know i have no right but i just worry, we both no what shes been through

ronnie-"i gave her a choice, shes learnt from her mistake, she's taking it slow, ben respects her"

andy-"maybe if she puts him down i can meet him" he laughed as did ronnie.

danielle-"i cant keep up rox, im gonna get a drink" she walked off to meet some of her friends at the bar leaving roxy doing the time walk on her own

zoe-"cant belive how different your life is now, look at you, so happy" her drunken friend hugged her

sarah- "i remember the time you told me you were going to find your birth mother, we must of been about 6 or 7?" she laughed "you said that she was some glamorous women with loads of money and when you would meet she would spoil you like crazy"

danielle-"i wasnt lying though was i" she smiled pointing at ronnie who noticed and took it as a sign for her to join her friends "have you been introduced?" ronnie placed an arm around danielles waist

ronnie-"brifley this afternoon" she smiled "are you having a good time?"

sarah-"yes thanks, this place is great, we have nothing like this back home, do we dan?"
