Her Tears Don't Fall

Two years later

Ashleigh and Phoenix were still going strong. She had to admit he'd calmed down since they had been alone, but had he changed?

Candice and Kaleen had visited Sandman and Ice in hospital in a frantic.

'Why didn't you stop him?'

'We tried.'

'You didn't try hard enough.'

'Once we're out, and back on our feet we'll get her back, we promise.'

'You better!'

Ice took Candice's hand. 'We will we promise.' He dropped her hand.

'I can't believe this. I know he'd met someone, but not little Ash.'

'It's not your fault Sis he never gave much away when he came round. She rushed him upstairs I never had much chance to ask. He seemed nice.'

'He was until he met up with those kids at high school, and went rebel.'

'We'll sort it Kay.'

'You better this is all your fault.'

'How?'

'You told him the truth, everything.'

'He asked.'

'He wanted to be just like you.'

'And that's my fault?'

'Yes.'

'He can think for himself.'

'Yeah now he's got my daughter doing god knows what to her.'

'She'll be okay.'

'Will she? Remember us, and you, and what happened?'

'How can we forget? Just chill Candice we'll sort it I promise.'

'You better, or it will be me that's had up for murder not you!'

Sandman and Ice had finally recovered and was ready to go and find Phoenix and Ashleigh. They knew that they'd fled from the hut because the cops had been there regular to check if they'd been sighted.

They hadn't.

They'd questioned their friends endlessly getting the same answers. 'Sorry we don't know where they are.'

They'd been searching n for Ashleigh and Phoenix for two years now and had yet to come up with anything.

Sandman and Ice had an idea of to where they might be. Somewhere they'd taken Kaleen and Candice before they'd fled the country.

Ashleigh had told Phoenix the news that she was expecting, his eyes sparkled. He could finally be happy with Ashleigh and their baby. He may have not wanted one four years ago with everything that was going down, but with all of that in the past he was ready.

They had no idea of the events that were about to take place. With Ashleigh four months pregnant they were ready to move on.

Phoenix was placing the suitcases in the boot of the car, as another car pulled up. He closed the car boot as the two males got out of the car closing the doors shut. 'Phoenix.'

'Dad what are you doing here?'

'Where's Ashleigh?'

'You didn't answer my question.'

Ashleigh walked out of the hut closing the door. She turned. 'Dad!' She ran over to Ice hugging him. 'You're okay.'

'Yes I see you are too.'
