Too late to say sorry - Part 11

Eyes fell to the direction of the scream and smash, Sian was stood by the door, eyes blazing, tears falling. There was silence, no one was sure what to do, Sian bent down to pick up the glass and cut herself, she felt no pain, Sophie was going to die now, she’d heard everything, her heart crumbled and her anger grew intense.

“Sian love” Sunita said seeing blood drip from her hand, “Let’s get you cleaned up”. Sian took a step backwards “No, I’m fine, sorry for breaking the glass, I’ve gotta go” she cried running from the pub. “Look what you’ve done you idiot” Becky yelled at Norris “She’s seventeen years old and she’s just heard you saying that her girlfriend was meant to die, I hope you can live with yourself” she spat before she and others ran out in to the street to find Sian. They separated in to pairs Dev and Sunita, Becky and Tina, Steve and Lloyd and Anna and Eddie, each taking a different area to look for Sian.

Sian meanwhile was sat at the bench opposite the taxi office, it was a place that meant a lot to her and Sophie, where Sophie had come looking for her after her disastrous date with Lee, Sian closed her eyes remembering the cute way Sophie bit her lip when she saw her, when their eyes met, Sian knew in that instant that Sophie was the only person for her the person she could ever love, she held Sophie’s heart and Sophie held hers, she prayed that Sophie would pull through as her body shook with uncontrollable sobs.

“Any luck?” Sunita asked Becky and Tina as they emerged from the alleyway by the corner shop. They shook there heads “Gonna check the taxi area, ya never know” Sunita said, “We’ll come wiv ya” Becky replied lighting a cigarette, all of them were anxious to find Sian, her anger to Norris’s words, but the calmness of the situation made them feel uneasy, they had no idea what lengths Sian would go to if she lost Sophie and they weren’t prepared to just sit back and watch her fall apart.

“Did ya hear that?” Tina said listening, “What?” Becky said loudly, “Shh follow me” Tina said rounding the corner to the taxi office, Sian was sat on the bench crying, she was retching and vomited, the situation taking its toll on her body. “Come on” Sunita whispered, they began to make their way towards Sian, she heard the footsteps and looked up, wiping her mouth. “Sian are you okay love?” Sunita asked seating herself on the bench, “Yes fine thanks, you?” Sian appeared to be defeated, it scared the three women. “Sian, do you want us to take you to see Sophie?” Tina asked. Sian looked at her warm eyes, reminded her of Sophie, “No thanks I’ll walk” she mumbled getting up.

Becky looked at Tina “Walk, it’s about twenty miles”. Sunita spoke next “I’ve got the car, could have you there in a jiffy” she smiled, Sian’s eyes fell on hers, “Thanks”. Sunita smiled may be they were getting through to her. “Thanks for helping us hide our relationship so we had a few months of happiness, thanks for giving Sophie a job so she could visit me and thanks for speaking up for us in the Rovers”. Sunita nodded “You’re welcome, I love you both, come on let’s get you to the hospital”. Sian agreed and began to walk with them, her arm in Sunita’s, when she heard yelling, “Found her yet, Jason just got a call, there may be no time left” Eddie bellowed.

Sian’s face turned ashen, “No, no, no” she screamed, released her arm from Sunita and took of running. “Oh god” Becky yelled sprinting after her “Sian, slow down love, I’m a smoker ya know” she puffed, Sian reached the road and with no thought for her safety she ran out in front of a car. “Sian” Becky screamed as she stood there willing the car to hit her, to end her misery, to reunite her with Sophie.

The car driver slammed the brakes on veering around her, Becky ran over to her as she fell to the ground, her legs giving way “What the hell are you playing at?” Becky screamed at her as Sunita and Tina caught up with them, “I..I just wanna die” Sian cried “I want Sophie, I just want Sophie” she sobbed, there hearts went out to her and they helped lift her off the tarmac.

“Sian listen to me, I know how ya feel right now, when my Graeme was hit by David’s car, I thought my world would end, but he got better and so will Sophie, you have to believe that, else with no hope you’ll be lost”. Sian threw her arms around Tina who hugged her, “Come on” Sunita said holding back tears, “Sophie needs you, we’ll take you to see her”. Sian nodded “She doesn’t know who I am”. The women were confused “I’m sure she does” Sian shook her head tears falling more rapidly, “No she woke up, she knew I was her friend Sian, but she had forgotten our year together, us, I couldn’t cope so I ran”. Becky lit another cigarette “You run a lot don’t ya love, well may be Sophie knows you now, she would want ya there any road so let’s get ya there”.

Sian absorbed her words, she did runaway a lot, She ran after Sophie kissed her, they ran away after Claire exposed their relationship and she ran when Sophie pushed her away because of the family and alcohol problems. “You’re right” she said “I need to stop running and face my problems, but if I lose her..” she began, Sunita interrupted “Sian if you lose her, which will never happen, but if it happens then we are here for you, we all love you and want you to be happy, we may not know you like we know Sophie, but we care for you very much, we’ll be here as long as you want”.

Those heart warming words did the trick “I love you all too” Sian said “Now please take me to see my girlfriend”.They climbed in to Sunita’s car towards the hospital, they all knew that they were unable to change the events that occurred, but they believed that they could help Sian adjust and would do all they could to reunite the teenage couple.
