Don't Be Like This
Summary: Imagine that Sam, Phil and Jo have a history. They have been friends since university and the bond of friendship is still there. Imagine that after Sam dumped Phil, he couldn't accept it. 3months after Sam dumped Phil, Jo decides to play matchmaker between the pair and invites them for a weekend bonding session, neither knowing that the other one is coming.
Chapter 1- Organisation
DI Sam Nixon stepped out of her car outside Sun Hill Police Station. It was a Friday morning and the weekend was fast approaching. She sighed deeply; the thought of spending another weekend her own filled her with dread. She locked the car up and buzzed herself into CID, to her surprise, Phil was already there. She entered CID and Phil looked up at the door. He saw it was Sam and looked back down at the paperwork in front of him. He and Sam still had to work together and their past history made that difficult, they hadn't had a civilised conversation since their split. Jo was beginning to notice the tension between Sam and Phil and decided to do something about it…
Jo, Sam and Phil had been friends since they met at university and they were still very close friends. Everytime they'd gone out together since Sam and Phil's split, Jo had been forced to play mediator between them, mainly because they'd refuse to speak to each other. Phil couldn't understand why Sam had finished their relationship and Jo had had enough of it.
Jo's POV
I'm sick to the back teeth of Sam and Phil giving each other the silent treatment. I know that Sam finished with him but that's no reason to ruin a long-standing friendship. We've all been friends since uni and we're still very close. Sam and Phil are two of my best friends and I love them dearly but I'm sick of playing the mediator between them on nights out. I think it's time to something about this rift…
Sam went to sit down in her office and tried to get on with some work but was disturbed when Jo knocked on her office door; 'Come in' Sam called.
'Can I have a word guv?' Jo asked.
'Yeah sure Jo, what about?'
'Um, I was wondering, I've booked this cottage in the Lake District this weekend and I was wondering if you wanted to come to, you know a girlie weekend together with lots of alcohol, do you fancy it?'
'Yeah why not, I reckon it'd be fun, I don't think I can face another weekend on my own,'
'OK then, I'll give you the address of the place later, but can you do me one favour?'
'Yeah sure,'
'Don't say anything to Phil because you know what he's like, he might get the wrong end of the stick,'
'Yeah sure, I won't say anything to him Jo,' Sam said.
'Cheers Sam,' Jo replied and she left the office.

'Phil!' Jo said as she cornered Phil in the canteen that lunchtime.
'What is it Jo?' Phil asked.
'I was just wondering if you fancied a weekend bonding session in the Lake District this weekend, with a large amount of alcohol,'
'Umm, I don't know Jo I was gonna spend the weekend sat in front of Match of the Day,'
'Oh please Phil, it'll be fun,' Jo pleaded.
'Oh go on then,' Phil relented. 'I'm sure I can miss Match of the Day, for one of my oldest friends.'
'Cheers Phil,' Jo said. 'Oh, and one other thing, don't mention this to Sam.'
'OK Jo, I don't think there'll be much chance of that, me and Sam aren't really talking at the moment as you know,'
'I know it's been hard for you Phil, Sam dumping you in the way that she did but you can get away from that just for this weekend,'
'You're on, what time are we goin'?' Phil asked.
'I'll pick you up this afternoon, I've got the afternoon off so I'm off to get some food, pick up a few DVD's and CD's and a large amount of alcohol, I'll come and pick you up at about…4 o'clock, that OK?' Jo replied.
'OK Jo, I'll se you later then,' Phil said as Jo left the canteen.
Jo closed the canteen door and smiled to herself, they'd both taken the bait and now hopefully, by the end of this weekend, Sam and Phil would at least be talking to each other again. Maybe they'd get back together; Jo went off to her car and drove off with this thought in her mind.
