Run

Chapter 13

Sydney was awoken by the sound of her phone ringing. It was a grocery store she had put in an application. They told her that they had contacted the store in New York and they gave her a glowing recommendation. They wanted her to start as soon as possible, because they were severely understaffed. She told them she could start tomorrow.

She texted Rose and told her that she had gotten a job and wanted to know what time she needed to pick her up from work.

Sydney's phone rang.

"No need to pick me up today, I'll catch a ride with a girlfriend" Rose told her. "But when I get home we are going out to celebrate the new job, okay?"

"Sounds good to me" Sydney replied

"Be ready when I get there, I'm leaving in an hour" Rose said.

"Where are we going" Sydney asked

"When's the last time you've ever been to a nightclub, Sydney?" Rose asked

"I've never been to one" Sydney said

"Oh my god, get dressed, put on something sexy and we are going to party it up tonight" Rose said as she hung up the phone.

When Rose got off, they went to Spybar. Sydney was overwhelmed with the amount of people there. She didnt feel in control ofnher surroundings and she felt John could pop up anywhere.

"Lets get a drink in you, shall we" Rose said as she turned to the bartender. "2 blue motorcycles please"

"Whats a blue motorcycle?" Sydney auestioned.

"Its really good youre going to love it." Rose replied.

Sydney tried the drink and indeed it was really good. They went to the dance floor. Rose insisted Sydney dance. Even though Sydney was a horrible dancer. A man came up behind Sydney and started dancing with her.

"Hey there beautidul, my names Nate, can i have this dance"

Sydney decided it was finally timw to break out of her shell. "Sure" she replied.

"Thats my girl!" Rose said.

Sydney danced with Nate. Then he asked her to have a drink. So they went to the bar.

"What are you drinking" Nate asked.

"Surprise me, i like fruity drinks" Sydney said with a smile.

Nate smiled back. "2 pina coladas"

"So where you from" Nate said to her.

"Oh, here there and everywhere, how about yourself" Sydney replied with a smile.

"Im from Miami, im up here on busines" Nate replied.

"What sort of business?" Sydney asked as she sipped the drink the bartender just put in from of her

"Finance" Nate said also sipping his drink. "So you got a number?"

"Nope. Im new here and just havent had time to get a new phone" Sydney said

"Oh its like that, huh" Nate said with a smile.

"Like what" Sydney said, returning his smile

"Hard to get" Nate replied.

At this point Sydney was pretty tipsy, she hadnt really been able to drink much like this since turning 21. She threw all caution to the wind "Hows this for hard to get".

Sydney planted her lips on his. As he embraced her and returned her kiss. Sydney pulled away, realizing what was happening. "Im sorry, i cant... i just cant do this" she said walking away to find Rose.

"Can we go, i really wanna just go home" Sydney said to Rose.

"Whats going on!? Whats wrong?" Rose shouted over the music.

"I just really need to go home, i have tonwork tomorrow" Sydney replied.

"Ok, lets go" Rose said leading Sydney to the door.

When they got home all Sydney could do was throw herself on the bed and go to sleep. She woke up the next morning to a knock on her bedroom door. She looked at the clock, Rose had already left for work and she had to be at work in an hour.

"Who is it?" Sydney questioned.

"Open the door Sydney" a man said.

I know that voice.. it cant possibly be...

Sydney flung open the door...

"And give me a big hug" Dean said.
