So here's my neeewww story, has been uploaded for a while on corriecountdown but have only got round to uploading here. It takes place during the tram crash, obviously alternate universe.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything, just my idea.
Sian smiled as she tilted her head back to watch Sophie walk passed the sofa. "Where ya goin', babe?" The blonde asked quietly. Sophie grinned as she pulled on her coat and moved to stand behind the piece of furniture Sian was sat upon. As the brunette leant over her hair framed the blonde's face. Sian giggled and lifted her hands up to rest on the back of Sophie's head.
"To see if I can grab a few more shifts at Dev's so I can pay for the awesome Christmas present I intend ta get ya,"Sophie whispered before tilting her head and pressing a kiss to Sian's lips.
"Tone it down, Soph," Rosie teased as she wandered through to the living room and slumped down in the single chair. Sophie wrinkled her nose cutely as she straightened up, gently running her fingers through Sian's hair as she leant on the back of the couch.
"If you're goin' down there, Soph, send ya dad back, knowin' him he's got chatting," Sally scoffed as she appeared in the arch through to the kitchen. The girls could hear Tyrone sobbing gently in the kitchen and had listened to their mum try to contact Kevin numerous times. Poor lad, Sophie thought as she nodded in agreement to Sally's statement. With one final, playful ruffle of Sian's hair she turned and made her way out of the two doors onto the street. She breathed in the cool air, pushing her hands into her back pockets as she crossed the cobbles.
She could hear Deidre and Ken talking a few metres away and shot them gentle smiles as they connected gazes. She grinned as she walked over the threshold of the Alahan shop. She was nearly bowled over however as Kevin turned and nearly marched right into his youngest daughter.
"Dad!" Sophie said quickly as he seemed to realise her presence. His lips parted slightly before he turned and connected eyes with Molly Dobbs. The young brunette looked too, frowning as she saw the woman was crying. Sophie couldn't blame her, she was probably feeling bad about the whole Tyrone thing.
"Alright, Soph?" Kevin said quickly, his voice cracking. "Your mum'll be gettin' mad," He added sharply before opening the door.
"Where's the ice cre-" She began but the man was already gone. Sophie blinked and turned toward the woman who was shushing her baby in the pushchair. She was just a little confused but all she wanted to do was sign herself down for some more shifts then get home to cuddle up to Sian and watching some crappy Christmas reruns of Vicar of Dibley or something.
"Molly?" Sophie asked cautiously. The woman ignored her. "Have you seen Sunita?" The gaze she got in return was enough to kill if looks could do such a thing. Sophie swallowed hard and looked around before merely winding behind the counter and crouching down to find the staff date list. She couldn't even put pieces together as a bellowing boom shook the air. She heard Molly scream and glanced up rapidly as the lights flickered to black.
As she rose to her feet, she felt her coat sleeve snag on the hinge of the cabinet she had just opened. She heard rapid footsteps and peered over the counter to see Molly running for the door. Sophie gave another tug on her sleeve desperately. Her heart had begun to race but she didn't know why. Maybe there was just a power cut but what the fuck had that bang been? She could have sworn she'd also seen a flash from outside. She pulled harder, coming free just as she heard a scream break the air.
"Molly!" She yelled, desperate for information. The last glimpse she got was the older woman sprinting past the desk into the back, Jack screaming in her arms. And then it was silent. Sophie's breath stopped. She didn't have time to follow after Molly as the shop's structure erupted around her.
Sian staggered out of the door seconds after Molly and Tyrone, Rosie in her wake. The house had shook. The whole fucking house had shook!
She had forgotten how to breathe. She stopped altogether when she saw the entire street. Well, entire...She was running again, Molly and Tyrone at her side. Flames licked at the sky and dust littered the air. She didn't care but flames were coming from the only place she hadn't wanted them to be.
"Sophie!" Sally screamed as she skittered to a halt on the cobbles. Kevin appeared beside them, his brow cut and muddy. "Kevin tell me she's not in there!" The blonde pleaded as she turned and grasped the front of her husband's coat. Kevin didn't reply. "Tell me!" She yelled. Kevin didn't move.
She heard Rosie begin to stammer next to her. She couldn't think. She couldn't see.
Her brain was stopping.
"Soph!" She breathed before stepping forward. "Sophie Webster!" She shrieked, tears beginning to spill down her cheeks. Sian broke into a run but she was caught up in someone's arms. She kicked and punched but they didn't let her go.
"Molly and Jack are in there too," Tyrone whispered as he shot Kevin a glance, seeing him restraining the distraught blonde.
"Maybe she came out, dad," Rosie breathed as she shoved her hands back into her hair. Just then there was the yell of Jason's name and Rosie turned to Eileen moving closer. "No!" She gasped, hand clasping over her mouth.
"Let go of me," Sian bellowed, slamming her fists against Kevin's chest with all she had. Caught off guard in her moment of ,seemingly surrender, he let her go. She didn't wait as she leapt the flames and scrambled up the pile. She could see the body of the tram but she didn't care about that, the girl she loved was buried beneath the rubble.
She heard shouts behind her and moments later Kevin and Tyrone were at her side, gripping and throwing the stones away too. Sian's tears fell to the stones but she had to stay tough and get through the bricks. Sophie was the one that made them strong, Sophie always comforted her and told her it was okay but where was Sophie now, eh?
Sian sobbed but quickly caught her breath and shoved some rock aside. Her fingernails were bleeding but that didn't matter because for all she knew...the girl she loved was dead.
