"When were you going to tell me about this dinner we are having!?" I say storming through to the Kitchen.

Ben looks up.

"Oh um yeah, how did you hear about that?" he asks.

"I just got a text from Emma, saying she is looking forward to the dinner tonight. Who else did you invite to this dinner?" I ask him.

"Oh only a few faces, people we know, oh and that guy that was here the other day...damon?" he says.

He invited him.

I sigh.

"I thought it would be nice for you, he is a childhood friend is he not?" Ben asks.

"Something like that yeah...I just wish that you had given me some notice. How do you know I wasn't going to be doing something tonight" I say.

"Well the only times you go out nowadays is for the shop or too see Robert and well Roberts going to be here tonight" Ben says.

"Just...Just please tell me next time!" I shout leaving the room.

I don't mean to be mean to him but I can't help it.. I have just felt so nervous lately and I just feel so irritated around ben.

I can not have my past brought up.

Maybe one day I can tell Ben or who ever I am with the truth but today is not the day.

*Toms POV*

How do I keep dreaming of Rose.

This hasn't happened since I lost her,

She just did not come home one night,

The police kept looking for her.

Months went by and I had heard nothing.

It turned me into something I don't want to remember.

They never did find a body but decided she must be dead.

I did not do much at all.

I didn't accept any roles, I just slept and wept,

But then I realized she wouldn't want me to be like that.

So I got my life back and started acting again.

Then a couple of years later, Sarah came along,

I thought I had found love again, I still love her. I just don't know if she feels the same.

Suddenly theirs a knock at the door.

I go to answer it and to my surprise I find Sarah.

"Hello Sarah..What are you doing here".

She walks in.

"I am sorry...I just need to get out the house and I did not know where to go.." She says to me.

"Oh ok, what's wrong" I ask her,

"I...I just don't feel happy anymore. I feel like theirs no connection with me and Ben right now and with Damon back in town...I just feel so nervous" She tells me.

"What..hang ,on hang on. Who is Damon?" I ask,

She sighs.

"I am going to tell you the truth because you have only ever been honest to me.

"You tell me whatever you want to" he smiles.

"It all started when I was 15. My mother kicked dad out because he had kissed another woman or something like that. I went with him and we went to live in a flat. It wasn't the nicest of places and the people around us were even worse. I liked to keep myself to myself, except for one person who stood out to me". She tells me.

"This Damon guy?" I ask her,

She nods.

"He would see me alone reading a book or just sitting their and he would come over to me. To start with he acted the charmer, acting all cool but when he realized that didn't impress me he let it all go and started acting 'normal'. He was so kind to me, unlike all the other children. He would stick up for me and he understood me". she says as tears start coming,

I hug her,

"It's ok" I tell her.

" My mum and dad were only split for 6 months and soon I had to move back to our house. Damon did not want me to leave, he told me he loved me. He said we should run away together. I was a foolish 16 year old then, i wouldn't say i was in love but their was something so i agreed. So on the next night, we met outside the flats and i followed him".

"I take it i didn't work out?" i ask her,

"He took us to a abandoned casino, I had never been in one before it was quite strange. He told me that as long as we stuck together we would be fine. He taught me a lot of tricks, how to pick pocket stuff like that. Then we started to shop lift"

"Oh Sarah" i sigh.

"He made me feel like their was nothing wrong with it. We would shop lift so survive. It wasn't the best life but it wasn't bad either, After a couple of months, he started to change. He wanted our relationship to be more than just friends. He was 17 and i think he was getting bored of just being friends. He persuaded me he loved me so i went out with him".

"What did he do to you Sarah?" I ask.

"Nothing i didn't let him do. I was foolish and i let him take advantage of me. I had no problems with this life until one night while he was out getting food that a group of men came into the casino. We had been their for months yet no one had came until now. I hid and watched them enter the place. They had heard my movement and knew i was in here".

"What happened?" I ask.

"They were looking for Damon, apparently he had stolen from their place, they owned a jewelers but they weren't only jewelers, they were con artists. They kept questioning me but i wouldn't say anything so they took me" i tell him.

"Oh my god...why did you not tell me any of this before?" I ask her.

"It wasn't important...They told me i had to do everything they said. It was that week i found out i was pregnant. It was damons as i had not been with anyone else in my life. I did not know what to do, i did not want to keep it...so stupidly i told them".

"Next thing i knew i was at a clinic and it was gone. They took me back to their place and i became their employee" She tells me.

"Employee for what?" i ask.

She begins to cry.

"They would use me to entertain others..." she bursts into tears.

"Oh my god, Sarah my darling. It's ok though your here now" I say hugging her.

"The worst of it was, once i was spying on one of their meetings, it turned out that Damon was the owners son, Damon stole stuff before we ran away and his dad, not being the best of dads said he would be dead..unless he gave me up, and he did" She tells me.

"And here's in town?" i ask her,

She nods.

"I am going to kill him" I say standing up,

"No, Tom. no please. You don't know what he is like. I managed to escape but he went after me, it was my life for his. If his father did not have me he would die. I don't know what happened but he has survived. I would say only just though. He was mad when i gave up the baby too, i don't know why. he would have been a terrible father".

"I just can not believe you went through all that, if only i had of met you earlier" I say pacing the room,

She stands up and stops me, turning me to face her,

"You couldn't have done anything, we did not know each other. do not blame yourself" She says,

I just stand still looking at her,

"Tom?" she asks,

I move in to kiss her.

I expect her to move but she moves closer.

Soon our lips are touching.

I have wanted to feel this again for a long time.

After a long kiss we part.

Suddenly her eyes go wide.

"What..what did i just do?" she says moving away from me.

"You just proved your still in love with me" I say softly.

"I...i....i have never told anyone my story. Your the only one that knows. I have tried to leave it behind and completely forget. Please don't judge me by it" She sighs.

"I could never judge you for it. We all have something bad we would like to forget in our past. I have to admit i wasn't completely honest about my past either" i tell her.

"What do you mean?" she asks me.

"A long time before i met you..i was married. I truly loved her but i lost her, she just disappeared, presumed dead" I tell her,

"Oh tom...i am so sorry".

"Don't be. It was a long time ago. I have learned to deal with it, and you just proved to me theirs still hope for us" I smile.

"Why do you think Bad things happen so often?" she asks me.

"What do you mean?" i ask her.

"Bad things always happen to good people. People die so young for no reason, good people. There is so much pain in the world" she says to me.

I take her hand.

"You can not think like that, think of the good times even if theirs few. My rose, my previous wife, although she had gone, i still remember the good times, and when you left, i tried to be as positive as possible. Life is to short to feel negative" i smile.

"Oh tom, if only everyone was like you. The world really would be a better place" she sighs.

*Rachels POV*

"Do we really have to go to this dinner?" I ask Damon.

"Yes, stop wining" he says while pacing the room.

"What's wrong with you?" i ask him.

"I am expecting a visitor, except their late" He tells me.

"Who?" i ask,

Suddenly the bell goes.

He goes to the door.

I hear a lot of muffled voices and then they move towards the room.

I stand up.

"Rachel, i would like you to meet our Guest".

"Hello...you are?" I say.

"This is someone very important in our little tasks, Her name is Rose" Damon smiles.......
