Jonathan Creek – A long way home
Note: Let's begin with where I start, Jonathan isn't married I'm starting before any of that silly stuff happened. So I'll leave it at that and let you discover more as I go on.
Chapter 1:
I never thought my life would go this way, I mean I never thought it would be amazing but to end up here wasn't what I wanted. Well, I suppose it's not exactly what anyone would want. I suppose my mom was right I would never amount to anything, but I didn't think I would reach the gutter, literally.
It was nearing to Christmas and getting colder. I'd sit outside shops or in the alleyways, just to keep the cold and wind off me. People would sometimes look at you with a look of blank expression on their faces or a look of yeah right get a job. Believe me, if I could I would, a job would be great, a nice warm place to live and a nice hot meal wouldn't go amiss either, but I'm stuck here sitting watching everyone get so excited about the joys of Christmas, deciding what presents to get their loved ones.
It made me really miss my old life, being able to go home and throw my bag on the floor and relax on the sofa, with a large glass of wine, of which I would have many. Solving crimes and the adventures I would have, with Jonathan and his lateral thinking. The things we would do and the places we would see, it was fun and meant a lot to me, not that I ever let him know that. I couldn't ever do it, letting him know how I feel meant it would be more painful when he left my life just like everyone else did and I couldn't let his head get any bigger either.
I suddenly looked up and saw a couple walking down the road hand in hand. She was wearing a lovely winter coat, fur around the collar and a black bobble hat and he had a nice cream raincoat on, with a brown tartan scarf wrapped around his neck. They looked so happy together, it's what you always dream when you meet someone, that you will still be holding hands 20 -30 years later, that your heart will still skip a beat when you see them.
Maddie was getting completely lost in her thoughts when she didn't notice that the couple had turned and started heading towards her.
"We must do more to help people it could be our new year's resolution". The lady said as she made her way over. "Oh Sally, always thinking of someone else before yourself".
"Well, I'm a sweet person". She said smiling.
