Hi all. Well this is my third Corrie fic so I hope you like it. It will be a Liarla fic so if you don't like the pairing then I suggest you don't read it. I am open to any suggestions on how to make my fics better but please don't be horrible in the reviews. The chapters won't be really long and some (like the next chapter) will be extremely short so I will try and post two in a day if they are really short.

Hope you like it and please leave a review.

"Chelle. Have you heard from Carla at all? It's been over a year since she left and no-one except you has spoken to her?" Liam asked as he walked into the Rovers.

"Liam, all I know from the last time I spoke to her is that she's in London. And even then that was two months ago. So I know as much as you." Michelle replied.

"Right. Fine. I'll just have to keep trying her phone." Liam said.

"Liam. Just leave it. She'll come back when she's ready. There's no point in constantly trying to phone and text her. She's not gonna answer." Michelle said.

"Well what am I supposed to do Chelle? Just sit back and hope she eventually turns up after over a year?" Liam asked.

"Liam. I mean it. Just give her some space. You don't even know the reason she left." Michelle replied.

"What and you do? So come on Chelle? Why did she leave so suddenly in the middle of the night and not tell anyone except you?" Liam asked.

"Come through the back and I'll tell ya." Michelle replied before they went through and Michelle closed the door behind them.

"So? Why did she leave?" Liam asked and Michelle sighed.

"Right. The night she left, me and Leanne were worried about her cos Lea had spoken to her on the phone and one minute she was fine and the next, she was acting all weird. Then she heard a bang and Carla said she had to go before hanging up. When we went round there, the door was open so we went inside and Tony was..." Michelle replied before stopping and sighing. "From what it looked like, she had tried to leave but he wouldn't let her and when we got there, he had her pinned against the floor and wasn't letting her go. When we couldn't get him off her, I just grabbed the nearest thing and hit him over the head with it."

"Then what?" Liam asked and Michelle sighed.

"When we found out he wasn't breathing, we tried to move him but we couldn't...Car just zoned out completely. Even when Lea went to get Peter to help. He said he wasn't gonna do it but once we told him what had happened, he eventually agreed to help. Me, Lea, Peter and Car drove to the canal and chucked him in before going back to the flat. We cleaned it up and left." Michelle replied.

"Why didn't you just phone the police and tell them what had happened?" Liam asked.

"Like they'd believe it. And Carla tried to phone them. She even said she wouldn't tell them me and Lea were there. Swore on Ryan's life she wouldn't tell them. But there was no way I was gonna let her go down for it when she didn't do it." Michelle replied.

"So why did she leave then?" Liam asked.

"I dunno. She said when I spoke to her after she left that she needed to clear her head for a while and that she'd be back." Michelle replied.

Well this is the first installment to this fic. Hope you liked it and don't forget to leave a review.
