Alice and Abi were still sat on Abi's bed, looking through the photo albums. Abi let out a giggle at one she found of Lauren one year when they were on holiday.

'Here, Alice... Look at this' said Abi, showing Alice the photo. Alice let out a laugh as she looked at the photo. Lauren was laid on a sunlounger, fast asleep, while Abi pulled a funny face.

'That the year before... Well, you know..' Abi trailed off and cleared her throat lightly, before searching through the rest of the photos. Alice felt sympathy for her cousin. She knew it had been hard for Abi.

'Flashback'

It was the day after Lauren had been admitted and Abi hadn't slept at all. She could hear Max and Tanya arguing slightly downstairs. She put her hands over her ears and sniffed. She started to breath heavily and felt hot tears slip down her cheeks. She clutched her chest as the sobs became body rattling and a loud wailing noise filled the room. The bedroom door crashed opened and Max stood in the dorway, watching his youngest daughter, before rushing to hug her. It was then that Abi realised the noise was coming from her.

'Lauren! Lauren!' she cried. Max stroked Abi's hair, trying to calm her down as Tanya stood in the doorway, silent tears slipping slowly from her eyes...

End of flashback

'Here, remember this one?' asked Alice, breaking Abi from her thoughts. Abi smiled at the photo of Lauren and Joey, not long after she started getting night release from treatment. They were both sat the sofa, Lauren wrapped up Joeys arms and Abi had bugged them for a photo and Lauren (after chucking a pillow at her sisters head) agreed, so she'd leave them alone. Both of them had big smiles on their faces, as they hugged.

'Yeah..' replied Abi, smiling lightly. Alice sighed and wrapped an arm round Abi, allowing her cousin's head to fall on her shoulders as she cried...


Meanwhile, in Greece, Richard was sat at his laptop, on the internet. He had been searching for information Dr Savage and so far, the result's proved fruitless. He sighed, just about to give up and go to bed, before something caught his eye.

'Dr Troy Savage...' he read, before clicking on the link. He waited for the page to load before leaning forward and reading the page. It was a contact number for a woman who had a daughter who had worked with Dr Troy Savage before. He thought for a minute, before rushing downstairs and grabbing the phone. He darted back up to his room and to his desk, dialling the number. He waited a few minutes, before someone answered.

'Hello?'

'Hi, erm this Richard Marques. Um... I was just wondering if I could have a bit of your time to ask a few questions about a Dr Troy Savage?' Richard asked. The line was silent for a few minutes and Richard thought the other person had hung up, until the line crackled.

'Why do want to nkow about him for?' asked the other person, her voice sounding shaky

'Because I think he's doing something to my little stepsister and I need to know what. She seems forgetful lately. Very forgetful and its all to with this Dr Savage bloke...' said Richard

'This new method... Does she close her eyes and whisper some words?' asked the woman.

'Yeah... Erm.. Imagine it never happened.. Sorry I didn't catch your name...' said Richard.

'Anthea... And I know what's going on... I've seen this happen with my daughter..' she trailed off, leaving the setence unfinished.

'Yeah? What happened?' prompted Richard gently

'Listen, all that matters is that you get your stepsister out of his care... Otherwise people close to her or prove to be distractions to him.. will end up dead!' said Anthea, stunning Richard into silence...


Tanya walked downstairs, half an hour later for a drink, when she saw Richard sat on the sofa, his head in hands.

'You okay, darling?' Tanya asked. Richard didn't answer. Tanya got her drink of water and sat down next to him, putting her arm round him.

'You can me anything, Rich. You know that?' Tanya asked. Richard nodded, but still stayed silent. Tanya sighed, knowing she wasn't going to get anything out of him, before she headed upstairs, pausing on the steps to look back at him, before heading back to her bedroom. Richard waited till he heard the bedroom door close, before getting to his feet and placing a note on the coffee table. He picked up his bag andleft the house, locking it behind him...


Abi smiled as Alice handed her a hot chocolate and sat down besides her. After spending twenty minutes crying on Alice's shoulder, the two girls decided to watch a few movies and pig out on junk.

'Thank god we're into the same genre of films. With Lauren, it always has to be horror...' said Abi. Alice made an agreement sound as she took a sip of her hot chcolate

'Joey's the same and it seriously bugs me!' Alice exclaimed, making Abi laugh, before she remembered where Lauren was.

'I hope Joey and Lauren are okay... She'd better not be breaking his heart even more..' stated Abi. Alice looked her younger cousin, before grabbing her phone, dialling her brothers number.

'Voicemail' she said, as the call went straight to voicemail. She shrugged her shoulders at Abi, who looked slightly worried.

'Should we go over there?' she asked Alice...


Lauren slammed Joey against his bedroom door as they finally made it up the stairs, with their lips crushed together in a heated kiss. Joey felt Lauren's fingers pull down the zip of his jacket and practially ripped it from his shoulders.

'Babe... Are you... Sure.. about this?' asked Joey between kisses. Lauren pulled away slightly, an eyebrow raised.

'If I didn't want it, trust me... I wouldn't be here right now' she said, before crushing their lips together again. Joey groaned and tangled his hands in her hair, before sliding one down her back to her waist and pulling her closer. The door suddenly gave away, as Lauren swung the door open and Joey only just managed to keep his balance.

'Warning, next time!' he said, chuckling a bit. He felt Lauren smirk into the kiss as she walked him backwards towards his bed. He felt his shirt been ripped open and then a crash reached his ears. He opened one eye and saw his lamp on the floor, as his shirt had hit the lamp as Lauren threw it over her shoulder. He gained control of the kiss and pushed Lauren roughly against the bedside table. She gasped as his mouth found that spot on her neck what drove her crazy.

'We're okay... We're okay..' Lauren whispered to herself, as her finger raked roughly through Joeys hair. Joey suddenly found himself on his bed, staring up at Lauren as she straddled him, her hands on his chest. He thought she looked beautiful and reached out a hand to tuck a strand of her hair behind her ear.

'You're beautiful, babe' he murmured, before pulling Lauren's head down to connect their lips again. He flipped them over, getting rid of Lauren's jacket as he did so. He gazed down at her, the love shining through his eyes, as he gently caressed her cheeks with his thumbs.

'You sure you want this?' he asked, wanting to be certain and not wanting to push Lauren into something. Lauren smiled at his concern and rolled her hips forwards, emitting a groan from Joey.

'That answer your question?' Lauren asked. She was met with a searing kiss to her lips as she felt Joey's hands grip the hem of her t-shirt...

She was back and Joey wasn't about to let her go that easily again...
