The World We Live in (1982/2008)

Alex was running through the long hospital corridors not knowing what to do. She felt so much emotion running through her mind after seeing Gene on the hospital monitors. She didn't know what the hell was going on but she realised that she wasn't where she wanted to be. At first she thought she was safe back home with Molly but something felt strange after she had woke up but she couldn't work it out. She didn't want to leave Molly.

A young male Nurse, smoking outside of the hospital entrance door had spotted her running past him and he quickly calmed her down before walking her back to her hospital room. Alex was panicking and looking worried. Molly came in the room "Mum are you ok someone said they saw you trying to escape you're not trying to run away are you"

"No Molls I'm not my head is really hurting I need some time to sleep" "Evan's picking me up from the hospital, I'll see you tomorrow mum" She hugged Alex and left the room. Alex read the card again that Molly had done her, it looked familar like she'd seen before. She put it down on the table. Alex felt sleeply and her eyes closed.

She fell into a deep sleep not feeling it, she woke slightly to see a familiar face sitting by her bed looking upset and worried.

He was talking to himself saying "I'd never hurt her and didn't mean what I said, I hope she forgives me, she's the only person i can rely on" She thought to herself "Gene" He shot up out of his chair in surprise and shock.

"Bolly can you hear me please say you can hear me" Alex looked up at him very dazed and confused "where am I?"

Gene bent by her bed to touch her cheek "your back here in hospital still 1982 wish Christmas would come quickly"

"I can't be I was with Molly only a few minutes ago"

Gene looked puzzled he scratched his head. "Bolly you know I would never hurt you and all them things I said was because I felt hurt but now i know I believe you about Summers and Operation Rose please forgive me"

Alex felt like crying because she had a short time with Molly back in 2008, she knew somehow that it wasn't the real world that she woke up in for a few minutes. "Gene I know I should have took my time to realise that you would have struggled to believe me but I know that you never meant to hurt me"

Gene felt relief in his mind but the police would still have to question him about the events of what happened.

Alex heard noises in her head the medical team were trying to save her in the 2008 world she hoped they would. Molly was screaming "Come back Mum please" Alex felt a tear in her eye. She turned to look up at Gene "I can hear Molly she's crying"

Gene didn't know whether to believe her again, she was talking about Molly a lot now, he remembered back to the argument they had in his office, he felt deep regret for all them horrible things he said to Alex about Molly. He knew that every mother should not be without their daughter.

Shaz came into the room, she was happy and overjoyed to see Alex wake in her bed. "Mam I'm so happy to see you are ok you had me and the Guv worried" He turned his head looking a bit embarrassed . He's fallen out with Chris and Ray about what happened and they don't know I've bought the Guv to the hospital with me"

He sat beside the bed looking at Alex with a long lingering look. Shaz noticed and decided to leave them on their own.

Afterwards Two police officers entered the room and asked Gene to come down to Fenchurch East police station to answer a few questions about the incident. He felt nervous and looked sad at Alex. She felt sorry for him and so desperately wanted to help the man she cares about a lot, she felt like getting out of the bed and hugging him to reassure him that everything would be ok.

"Alex I'll see you soon" he said .Shaz came back in and told her that "I know the Guv's innocent but it's hard to convince Ray and Chris they've completely shut him out and are ignoring him in the police station. I'll try to make Chris understand"

Alex felt two things at the same time she wanted to help him as much as she can and Molly needs her even though she wasn't sure what had occurred when she woke in that world she originally thought was 2008. She was determined to do the right thing for both of them. Gene and Molly,
