Liam lay on the ground unconscious but breathing, he had just been run over by a car as he made his way back to the club to fetch the kitty. Tony ran over to Liam while Dev, Lloyd, Tom, Steve, Jason and Kirk stood shocked at what had just happened. "Liam...Liam, can you hear me" tony said, tears started to well in his eyes, secretly hoping he couldn't. He had been having an affair with his fiancé, what he was supposed to do just stand back watch them run off together? Tony was never going to let that happen and knew it was for the best. "Is he breathing?" tom asked, feeling so guilty that he did not go and get the money from the club, if he had just gone this wouldn't have happened to Liam. "I don't think so" tony answered, tears now running down his face. "Call an ambulance will you" tony shouted across to Steve. As Steve was calling 999, tony was shocked as he looked at Liam he heard weak coughs and Liam started to groan in pain. "He's still alive!" tom said, relief watching over him as he could not believe that Liam was still breathing after what had just happened. "Yeah...he is" tony replied, shocked and angry that Liam was not dead. How could he have survived tony thought to himself, "C...Carla...Carla..." Liam said very weakly. "Liam, what do you want Carla for mate" tom asked, now kneeling beside his very weak cousin. "Carla...please..."Liam uttered again "Lloyd give us your phone mate" tom shouted across to Lloyd, knowing he had to get in touch with Carla. Lloyd quickly got his phone out and gave it to Tom, "cheers, have u got Carla's number on this?" tom asked, "I have, here you go mate" Steve said and gave his phone to tom. He had called the ambulance and it was on its way. Tony was still kneeling by Liam's side pretending to look relieved, he was still shocked and annoyed that Liam was still breathing.
Carla was sat at the bar, miserable that she was not with Liam right now, but she knew it was the right thing do. After finding out that Maria was pregnant she knew that Liam would never leave Maria for her. She still felt guilty, she had looked him in the eye and told him she didn't love him. She had broken his heart. "Are you ok?" Leanne asked, knowing full well she wasn't. Carla looked at Leanne with a sad smile "I have to be don't I". "Look why don't you just give him a phone and tell him you've changed your mind eh? He loves you Carla" Leanne said quietly not wanting anyone else to hear what she was saying, especially Michelle. "Leanne, I can't...I want to but-"she was cut off from the sound of her phone ringing. She looked at the caller ID "Steve?" she said to herself, wondering why Steve would be calling her. "Hello?" Carla said as she answered her phone, "yeah, Carla its Tom. Look...eh, Liam's been in an accident". Carla could feel tears well into her eyes as Tom explained what had happened. "Alright, I'll be there as soon as I can" Carla said as she hung up her phone. "Liam's being hit by a car" Carla said to Leanne. "Oh my god, is he ok?" Leanne asked, "Tom said he was breathing but he's in a bad way, look I've got to go the hospital, let Michelle know" Carla replied trying to fight back the tears. "Ok, but what about Maria?" "Tom's going to let her know" Carla answered and quickly got out of the pub and ran across to street cars to get a cab, it was her hen night and she had been drinking. "I need a cab" Carla shouted quickly at Eileen as she entered the office, "Ok, I'll get Eddie, He's the only one available". "Why aren't you at your hen night anyway?" Eileen asked as she told Eddie to come and pick Carla up. "It's an emergency, I have to get to the hospital" Carla replied, still fighting back tears. "Its Liam...he's been in an accident and I..." Carla couldn't finish what she was saying and broke down in tears in front of Eileen. Eileen was surprised that a woman like Carla would be crying like that, she quickly got off her seat and put an arm round Carla's shoulder, comforting her. "Hey, it'll be ok, did they say how he was?" "They said he's breathing but he might not make it..." Carla answered, still sobbing. Eileen looked worriedly at her and she was surprised at how bad Carla was taking it. Eddie beeped the horn of his cab to let them he was here. "I need to go" Carla said and just got of the office and into the cab. "Weather field hospital please" Carla said to Eddie as she entered the cab. "Right you are love" Eddie answered and set off for the hospital. Carla sat in the back of the cab with mascara running down her face, she had stopped crying but she didn't how she was going to cope when she saw Liam. She would have to try keep her sobbing under control and make it look like she was only upset because she was his sister in-law and not his lover. The cab reached the hospital and Carla paid Eddie the money "keep the change" Carla said as she got of the taxi and entered the hospital.
