Her Tears Don't Fall

6

A few days had passed, things seemed to be getting better, but not completely.

'Are you going to tell the guys where we are?'

'Yeah.'

'When?'

He pulled his mobile out of his pocket. 'Happy now?' He said dialling Kieran's number.

She smiled.

'Ke.'

'Where are you?'

'Safe. How are the guys?'

'Fine.'

'Good.'

'How's Ash?'

'She's sound.

'Can I talk to her?'

'Sure.'

Phoenix passed the mobile to her. 'Here.'

She smiled taking it off him. 'Ke.'

'Ash you okay?'

'I'm fine.'

'So he found you?'

'Yeah.'

'Tell Phe Justin and Mackenzie are going to be fine they've been taken to hospital.

'Good.'

'Ash.'

'Ke.'

'How are you?'

'I'm fine.'

'I was so worried about you I thought he'd.'

'We're fine.'

'The cops are looking for you.'

'Why?'

'About Iceand Justin.'

'Oh.'

Phoenix took the mobile off Ashleigh. 'Don't worry Kelley they'll never find us.'

'I hope for your sake they don't.'

'They won't. Put Ke back on.'

'Phe.'

'Ke now listen wipe this number, and Ashleigh's off your mobile that way they can't trace the call. Tell Kelley and the guys to do it too.'

'Sure but.'

'Look this way is best. I'll contact you when everything dies down okay.'

'Sure.'

Phoenix hung up.

'Was that really necessary?'

'Yeah. We don't want the cops knowing that we've contacted them do we?'

'I guess not.' She paused.

'What's up Ash?'

'What if our Dad's tell them what happened?'

'They won't their not that dumb.

'But.'

He placed his hands on her face. 'Look babe they'll never find us. This is how I always wanted it to be us alone.'

She smiled nervously

.

He placed his lips on hers.

Night after night Phoenix would lye awake watching Ashleigh. Since their first day there he could never quiet trust her.

He'd lye awake only to make sure she didn't disappear, or worse leave him.
