On a frosty Monday morning, two civilians wake up in their cold beds, wishing the other was next to them, one who has a room full of Van Goghs art work plastered over the walls.
On the other side of town, there is a fragiled skinned aubrun haired teenager lying in a room covered in sketches from the very special day she and her potential lover spent together.

COLLEGE DAY
Jen swoops in elegantly through the big double doors, who normally has a very happy face on, but today, she seems different,
she's looking very stressed and frustrated, but on the other hand, she has an angel all day for her Art class.
Tilly makes her way through the doors that Jen had entered around 3 minutes ago with Maddie, Sinead and George.
As she lines up outside of the classroom, she is very eager to see her teacher, Miss Gilmore.
The line shortens, as they file in, Jen smiles a secret knowing smile towards Tilly and Tilly responds with a wink.
Jen then gives her a 'i cant believe you've just done that!' look.
Tilly just laughs it off.
15 minutes into the lesson, Esther comes in late.
'Esther! not like you to be late, why are you?' Jen asks.
'Ermm...' Esther responds with and shakes her hand as if to say 'you know'.
As Esther sits gently on her chair, Maddie and Sinead are behind her.
'Hm right Esther, speak to me at the end then!' Jen says.
'Yes, um of course Miss Gilmore'
'Hey, are you ok?' Tilly asks Esther, which Jen had heard.
'Excuse me, can we just get on with our work please' Jen says, as she doesnt notice how bad Esther is feeling.
Tilly nods in Jen's direction and she gives a worried look at Esther.

AFTER THE LESSON
'Um, Tilly and Esther, please stay behind' Jen claims.
'Yes ofcourse miss' they reply in unison.
'Tilly please can you wait outside, i think its a bit of a personal issue'
Tilly is now very confused to Jen's statement as she goes to walk outside.
Jen then thanks her and shuts the door.
5 minutes later.
'Esther. What was up? Come on you can tell me anything, you know that'
'I... I cant say miss...' Esther says, as Maddie and Sinead walk past the classroom.
'Hmm' Jen thinks.
As Jen is lost in thought, Esther realizes how nice she had been towards her and before she knows it, she had kissed Jen as a way of saying thank you, but not realizing she had done this...
During this time, Tilly is lost in thought, with all of these questions. 'What could have been so peronal? Is Esther okay?
Shall i speak to her? As Tilly had filled her mind with all of these questions, she had been pacing the floor, as Miss Kane comes past.
'Tilly? could you please get Miss Gilmore for me? Im a bit nervous, its my first day'
'Uhm, yeah sure' Tilly replies as she turns the knob on the door with a massive grin on her face as she thinks that nothing could ruin her day today as she would be talking to Jen.
3 minutes later, Tilly goes in the classroom alone and is holding her books.
As she enters the classroom, her books fall in a hurry to the floor, much as the speed to her face.
Jen and Esther quickly break off the accidental kiss and Jen looks up at Tilly, who had tears forming in her eyes.
Tilly sighs loudly, as Esther does not know about them being together.
Jen looks at Tilly with puppy dog eyes, as Tilly had seen what she'd seen and Jen obivously knows how she'd react.
Jen looks up at Tilly and asks, if she can have a couple of words.
'Ha, the couple of words for ya, are GET LOST!' Tilly replies, not knowing what had just occured.
Jen sighs, and goes looking for Tilly as Esther quickly scarpers home.
Both Jen and Esther go searching for Tilly.
Esther reaches her, as she catches her breath.
'Tills. look its not what it looked like!'
Tilly had looked at Esther and said in between sobs.'I dont care anymore... You both looked pretty comfortable to me!'
Esther was confused but then quickly stopped her thoughts in her tracks as she sees Tilly had fallen over and hit her head.

AT THE HOSPITAL
The machine is beeping, whilst Tilly is there, in the bed, having support with sitting up as Esther helps her up.
'Look, Est, im sorry i get over the top sometimes!' Tilly manages to mummble as she comes around.
'Oh, Yes Tilly youre awake! Dont worry, youre fine, its fine,'
As Tilly has slowly opened her eyes, she slowly manages to be familiarised with objects in the room.
'What's happened? Where am I?' Tilly raises her voice.
'Hey, shh, youre fine youre in hospital, youve bumped your head a bit'
'I... I feel weird... I..'
'Look, Tilly, LOOK at me! dont worry, please for gods sake, just stay with me!'
'O...OK...'
Esther smiles and goes to stroke tilly's cheek to say its ok, trust me, as a tall, slim, dark-haired creature walked in.
Tilly looked directly at the doors direction as she swooped in by the sound.
'Ha, you have some thing you, coming in when you know what you've done, dont ya?!' Tilly says and slumps to look away from Jen.
'I'll give you both some time' Esther says as she kisses Tilly's forehead, which makes Jen cringe as she only wants herself to be the only one kissing her.
After a few minutes pass, Tilly had fallen asleep.
Jen goes around to face Tilly and says 'You sweet little angel'
'DON'T YOU GIVE ME THAT!' Tilly says under her breath.
'Look at me Tilly! Please...' the urgency in Jen's voice, causes Tilly to turn and face her.
'Oh, so you can plaster HER face over mine to kiss then?'
'No, TILLY! PLEASE! listen to me.. What you saw...'
'I know what i saw, u both looked pretty comfortable to me!'
'Please, she was thinking that i was very comforting to speak to her, and she got the wrong impression...'
'Hm, well she did say it wasnt what it looked like... look im sorry, im just really stressed lately, u no exams...'
'Dont apologise, you have nothing to be sorry for, i have...' Jen says, happy that Tilly had calmed down, so her head wouldnt hurt even more.
Jen reaches over for Tillys hand and Tilly grabs it and squeezes it in affection.
'I love you.' Jen states, making Tilly look like she was going to cry.
'I love you too' she replies with, which makes Jen smile like a Cheshire cat, and goes to kiss Tillys forehead, but she grabs Jen's chin and she plants a very passionate, longing kiss on her lips.
As they break off, Jen claims that she will be coming home later the next day and she promised that she would be there to watch her sleep so she did, and they spent the rest of the time holding hands and staring lovingly into each others eyes until they fell asleep, satisfied in each others arms.

THE NEXT MORNING
As the night descended the sun rose, glistening its way through the slits of the curtains, in its path, laid Jen and Tilly.
Jen was already awake, as she had never actually went to sleep as she was constantly looking at her younger lover and thinks that she can have a little nap right beside Tilly so she does.
'Jen... Jen?! Jen, babe we can go now, come on!' Tilly whispers in her ear.
'Morning!'
'Yup, its still morning, now come on lazy bones!'
Jen playfully slaps her on her arm as she says that statement.
IN THE CAR
'Hm, you know, you looked gorgeous last night' Jen smiles and says this to Tilly, with a wink, that automatically rewards her with a slap on her arm.
'OI! Behave and take me home!' Tilly smiles.
'My Pleasure!' Jen replies as they swerve out of the car park and are on the way to Tilly's home.
THAT NIGHT
Tilly is laid on her bed, alone, which she obviously wishes would change and Jen would come and fill that space.
Her bed is filled with coursework which is sprayed out. Her ohone jinges, its Jen much to Tilly's delight.
'mmm, Hey gorgeous'
'Hey there, just wanted to ask you, if you wanted to come out with me?'
'Eeeeeeek, you serious?!' Tilly cant contain her excitement.
'Yeaaaaaaaaah, why not?' Jen can hear Tilly scream down the phone and she is delighted.
'Hm, I like hearing you scream...' Jen says slyly.
'Emmm! Whats thats supposed to mean?' Tilly is shocked to hear her say such words.
'You know EXACTLY what I mean...' Jen replies 'Well it better not mean what i think it means otherwise a certain somebody wont be showing up tommorow' Tilly jokes.
'Aw! No fair...'
'Hm, whatever, right, i have some coursework to catch up on, because ive been ... distracted...' Tilly smiles.
'Ok, see you later then beautiful, I love you'
'I love you more, see you tommorow then gorgeous'
Tilly hangs the phone up and goes to the bedside desk to pick up her notepad, when she hears her front door being kicked in..
As Tilly creeps down stairs, she picks up a pan from the kitchen hob silently, as she turns around about to smack the person around the head with the pan as the lights come on, she is stopped.
'What a nice welcome...' The woman says.
'Excuse me, what are you doing here? Do I even know you?!'
'You could say that. The name's Amy, Yes! The AMY that saw you on the train. The AMY that hurt you that time in the woods.
Tilly is now literally shitting herself. 'What am I gonna do?' she thinks to herself. The woman stood at the door, comes closer to Tilly and corners her, then plants a kiss on her lips as she hears familiar footprints coming closer which she knows are Jen's.
'And, what the fucks happening here?' Jen stares at Tilly and is crying nearly, as she had just caught Amy and Tilly kissing.
'Jen, its not what it-'
Tilly's eyes open so wide, it looks as though her eyes would pop out.
Jen doesnt notice Amy, as she came in with a black suit and black everything, so she couldnt be recognisable.
'Not what it looks like then Tilly? Hm, ive heard THAT all before...'
'No! Jen...' Tilly is shortened of breath as Amy runs off, happy at the sight of Tilly she'd just caused.
'JEN! Please..' Tilly whimpers.
Jen turns around with an evil look in her eyes. 'A day after the hospital and you-' Jen is stunned to see the sight of Tilly.
She is scrunched up on the floor, with a pool of blood next to her.
'...Jen?' 'JEN?!' Tilly is now crying, she is scared, scared of knowing whether she'd ever see Jen again, as though she thought she might die...
Jen says 'Im here, Tilly. Wheres the blood gushing from?'
Tilly removes her hand from where she had been stabbed with a knife, right through her artery, (Amy would have known that this would be a vital place for someone maybe to die because she had been studying to be a paramedic, study meds)
Tears prickle behind Jens eyes, and she immediately calls for an ambulance.
'Yes, ambulance please! I need you right now! Please, Please please just hurry!' Jen shouts through sobs, as she looks at Tilly, holding a few towels to try and make the blood stop from gushing.
'Tilly, babe, dont worry, youre gonna be fine! trust me, please just stay with me! Please i love you!'
-
Tilly is now laid down on the stretcher, eventually seen to, and she is fine, for now atleast.
Jen wants to distract Tilly and make sure she keeps alive.
Jen reaches for Tilly's hand, which she holds on to for dear life.
'Hey,what is it with you and hospitals? Best friends you are aint you?'
'No, youre my best friend, and my soul mate, my lover, my girl...' Tilly responds to Jens delight, but her voice is husky.
Jen just looks at Tilly, a look full of happiness and sympathy all at the same time as she reaches over with her other hand and tenderly strokes her face.
They are now in the hospital ward. Jen is at Tilly's side, as the doctors have allowed her to, as every time she had been in the room, Tilly had got that little bit better, every day.
As Tilly is coming round, she is awakening to Jen singing, for the first time since theyve been together, and she sings just like an angel, Tilly thinks.
'Gorgeous voice there!' Tilly exclaims and Jen nearly jumps out of her skin as she turns to Tilly and places a hard full kiss on her lips.
'Hey i thought id never be able to see you again, i love you so much!' Jen shouts as she goes in for another kiss, but Tilly teases her and leans away.
'Hm, youre very good at teasing me, even if you are in a bed'
'Haha whatever baby, come here then!' she replies and Jen leans on her kissing her.
They lay there together, it feeling like hours, until a nurse and a police officer came in...
Luckily for Jen, she didnt have the smart work clothes on, that practically shouted 'Hey, im a teacher!' out to the police officer,
so he didnt notice, he just thought that she was her best friend or girlfriend, in this case she was both of them.
'Er, excuse me miss, im P.c Plod (LMAO), I need to ask a few questions about how the incident happened.. Is that ok?'
'Yes, ofcourse officer, if i can remember rightly, it was Amy' Tilly replied, with Jen looking shocked and confused.
'Yeah, babe THAT Amy' she replies to Jen, which turns Jen's blood to boil.
Tilly then notices this and tells Jen to calm down, which she does but inside she is fuming.
'What do you mean miss, 'THAT Amy?'
'Oh officer, we met a girl called Amy on the train one time, and i think she's jealous of me and Jen being together'
Just as Jen is about to get worried, Pc Plod continues.
'Well, me personally, i cant see anything wrong with this relationship...Youre just two ladies, very much in love, and that isnt a crime.' The police officer smiles.
They are both relieved, as the police officer exits the room and reassures them both that he will find this 'Amy', they then thank the officer for all he had done for them, especially Tilly. Jen immediately turns to Tilly and whispers, 'MAN! That was close!' she heavily sighs of relief as Tilly kissed her on the cheek and holds her hand to re-assure her everything is going to be ok. 'Thank you babe!' 'For what?' As Jen kisses Tilly's cheek.
'For saving my life!' Tilly says as she then leans towards Jen and cuddles her, which Jen is grateful for.
