could hear the pain in his voice, he was sorry but it was not enough for her she wanted him to feel the raw pain she felt inside “I know what Alan? How could you?” she screams “ It was just too familiar she wants to try again for Rebecca. Helen if it were just Ali I would not even be thinking of it, I love you Helen but Rebecca shit Helen” “I love you Helen we could see each other on the weekend s if I keep the flat? I don’t want to lose you Helen I love you say something Helen” he pleads “I never want to see you again if you go back to her , how could you even think I be your bit on the side? Shit Alan you need to grow some balls, it me or her?” and pushing him away in anger “ Sorry it’s Ali every time. I need to put Rebecca first, sorry Helen” his eyes are red with the pain as he says this “ Don’t leave me Helen not tonight please” he pleads with her “I think I better go Alan and don’t look at me like that, It not me who in the wrong” “Please Helen stay with me tonight” pulling her to him, the pain in her body making her cry out “I’m sorry please Helen I could have lost you tonight let me hold you one more time please. I just need to hold you” Helen is so exhausted she lets him hold her. There no strength left in her to fight with him as he pulls the blankets of the bed and lifts her and places her onto the bare mattress. Holding on to her he slides up behind her spooning her in his arms. His breath is laboured with the pain they both feel. She knows she never will see him again, once the sun comes up they will go separate ways. She wished the pain in her heart would end and her exhaustion clams her to the darkness.
Chapter 3 It been over six months and she was a year older since Alan had gone back to Ali. She missed Alan but she still wished him the best despite the pain in her heart that still lingered. Phil did ring to check she got home alright and she was no longer friends with Lynne as she never called Helen to see if she was alright from the attack she endured that night. She was alone with her grief and her depression from Alan choosing Ali over her. She also had to drop the charges of the attack, as the police did check her bag and it was that or being charged with possession of supplying drugs. The officer said he believed her that they weren’t hers but because her attacker said she supplied him with drugs that night and was not in control of his actions they had to make a deal and drop both claims. Helen was in the Fracture unit in the hospital and was hopefully going to have her cast of f today as she waited in the waiting room. “Helen is that you ? How are you?” looking up into Phil’s kind face, she dazed as it takes a moment to register who he was “ Sorry, hi I’m fine I think this is coming of today” and holding her plastered arm out “ Sorry but you look awful Helen, so skinny and pale” “ Thanks Phil for making me feel a lot better” she says sarcastically “ Sorry but I lost my job because of this arm. If I didn’t have enough problems, so excuse me for feeling a little depressed” she knows she sounds pitiful, but she didn’t want pity of him. “ Shit they fired you for a broken arm and I thought this place could be bad” sitting down beside her “ Not really fired but asked if I could leave because of staff shortage and lack of funds as they a small firm. I guess everything fell apart that night for me. I’m sorry I just need this thing off and I will feel better” she shrugs “ Its o.k. Helen, I thought about ringing you to see how you were but I could not think of anything to say apart from, Hi remember me from the worst night of your life not really romantic is it?” he laughs “ When you put it like that, how could a girl could resists your charms” and returning his laugh as her mood
