Hello! I don't know who you are but thank you for clicking on this fic and giving it a chance. As I always say- I'm not a writer ( But I try.) so I'm sorry for any mistakes. Also, English isn't my first language (it's my second, my country is Bi-lingual) yet it's my favourite, and prefer it over my own haha. Any who, this was gonna be a long one shot, but i wanted to try and write a fic for these two :). Enjoy!


Chapter 1- You're taking my heart by storm.

It had been a week since Allie had woken up from her coma. She still couldn't breathe very well—just little bits here and there, but at least she was still here. She doesn't remember much of what happened, in fact when she opened her bright blue eyes and looked around, Allie felt confused. Her mind was a bit fuzzy; a lot of different thoughts had swirled around her mind. She couldn't comprehend and grasp the thoughts swimming about—but only one. Bea.

At that moment, Allie only focused on Bea but her mind was so puzzling, she felt like she was trapped inside a maze, trying to find the way to Bea. Her pulse quickened, she was breathing rapidly and the medical team surrounded her. Then her vision started blurring, voices were coming from every corner of the room and she couldn't understand a thing. Her heart rate monitor was beeping like crazy and her whole body tingling with a numb sensation. It felt like her body was like a TV static. Then the room darkened and once again, Allie found comfort in the thought of Bea.


Next thing Allie remembers was opening her eyes and landing on Maxine. She looked tired and weak—it must have been the Chemo, Allie thought. As she tried to talk, something stopped her, it's like her vocal cords weren't there anymore. Maxine had noticed, standing up to reassure her friend.

Allie noticed something different, and it wasn't just the Chemo—it was something else. Allie was breathing through her nose for once. She opened her mouth, which was dry and tried to make a sound.

''It's okay honey, it's been a rough couple of days, hmm? Just rest, Allie, it will be alright.'' Maxine said softly, stroking her hand. She then stood up. ''I'll call the nurse.'' Her voice was soft, trying to sound as usual but for Allie it felt weird and off.

At that point Allie had no strength to argue or even move a muscle. She scoffed, it only came through her nose and she leaned back. Something was wrong.

The nurse arrived soon enough, with a clipboard in hand. She smiled brightly, ''Hello Allie. Glad to finally see you up.'' She said as she made her way to her bed. She fetched a glass of water, placing it on the cupboard and adjusted Allie into a sitting position. Then used the remote to pull up the bed a bit. Allie leaned against it. ''Here you go, sweetie.'' The nurse said a little too brightly. Allie could only drink small sips. She finally managed to cough a bit as her mouth and throat freshened.

''W- what...'' Allie managed to say the paused to breathe. ''What happened... to me?'' She was able to get out slowly. The nurse smiled as Allie started to regain some of her speech. The nurse then explained to her how she was in the hospital and that she had been for quite some time now, as well as how she was on life support- which shocked Allie. Maxine stood there, her thumb softly grazing her hand.


Allie had gotten better, her body wasn't very numb anymore and she could grab objects on her own now as her hand no longer shake and felt numb. She was also eating solids with no problem of choking and she was also speaking and breathing better. Her mind had also re-arranged itself as she could now grasp and control her thoughts- not longer a fuzzy feeling.

Still she didn't remember much. Just bit and very tiny pieces. The governor had visited her too, trying to get something out of Allie, mostly asking on who did this to her. Allie wasn't sure how it happened or who, but what she was sure of was that she didn't do this to herself. Vera had also asked her what she remembers last; of course Allie wasn't going to say making love to Bea. So instead she said that she doesn't recall anything. Vera knew that it would be hard for Allie so thankfully she didn't press on.

Speaking of Bea, Allie also asked about her lover yet everyone was trying to change the subject, no matter who she asked, they all changed the subject at the mention of Bea. She was sick of it. Something was wrong, and she could see it in Maxine's longing gaze.


Allie was finally able to go back to Wentworth, needless to say she was excited but yet there was this feeling in the pit of her stomach that she couldn't brush off. It kept lurking there, creeping in the back of her mind that something had happened to Bea. She felt the jolt in her brain when she first opened her eyes.

She got ready and packed her stuff that Maxine and the guards had brought her. Allie was there nearly a whole two months, so of course they had brought her quite some stuff.

Maxine was there, she had chemo on that day as well- talk about coincidence, and she was going to be travelling back to prison with Allie. Once again, the feeling bubbled at the pit of her stomach. She didn't know why, but it was there.

As Allie stepped inside the van, she immediately noticed the other woman, once again her expression wasn't as usual but of course, Chemo must take it out of you.

''Hey Maxie, how was it? You alright?'' Allie smiled as she sat down beside her. Maxine smiled back, assuring Allie that it was fine and that now she had gotten used to the empty feeling in leaves. She bit her lip, shaking her head slightly. ''Look, Allie. I've got to say something- I... I just can't hold it any longer and we'll be back in Wentworth in no time.''

''Is this about Bea?'' Allie asked alarmed, part of her hoped it wasn't about her, though Maxine's broken expression confirmed it.

Allie's felt her heart shatters, like someone had stabbed her with a dagger in it and kept twisting until every vein and artery was torn apart, leaving Allie bleeding helplessly. She couldn't speak. They kept it from her- this, whatever it was that happened to Bea.

''What the fuck?'' Allie started, slowly raising her voice which cracked. '' Maxine, what the fuck happened?''

Maxine whimpered, letting her head fall as she looked down. ''She's- Allie she..''

''She what?! Did she- oh bloody fuck- no, not her Maxie-'' Allie broke down, this was worse than staying in that hospital bed without breathing properly and no control of her numb body. '' She didn't die, did she?!"

Maxine shook her head repeatedly, ''No, Allie please calm down-''

''Calm down?! Calm down? Are you serious?'' Allie said, laughing which sounded more of a disbelief scoff. ''Something happened to my girlfriend, and nobody told me about it?! When did it happen? Tell me.''

Maxine finally looked at her, and if Allie wasn't furious maybe she would've noticed Maxine's exhausted teary eyes. ''The day you woke up.''

Allie's laughed, more tears flowing out of her eyes. She felt sick, she felt like she would faint any minute now. ''So when I was in there recovering, Bea was- is, I don't fucking know!'' Allie yelled frustrated.

Maxine's expression softened. ''Allie, I couldn't tell you because you wouldn't have made it through like you did. It would have been so complicated. You would riot.'' Allie nodded furiously.

''Of course I would have caused a riot, Maxine!'' Allie cried, '' I fucking love her Maxie, I can't lose her-'' Allie sobbed and she felt Maxine grabbing her by the shoulders and holding her close to her.

''Shh, you won't lose her honey. Don't think like that.'' Maxine's voice cracked and for a moment Allie felt guilty for snapping at her. She forgot for a moment that Bea was Maxine's best friend and that Maxine was fighting her own battle. Allie cried harder from there on. ''Tell me what happened, please.'' She whispered.

Maxine sighed, her hand stroking Allie's shoulder. ''Bea was the one that found you. She was the one that walked happily into the showers, because you make her happy Allie.'' Maxine paused for a moment; Allie could hear her smiling in the last part. Allie's tears kept falling slowly down her cheek and down her chin, dripping down on her teal sweatshirt.

''She walked in the showers, hoping to find you showering but only to find you there looking lifeless on the floor, leaning on the tiles. She was devastated, Allie. She wanted to come with you but of course, they didn't let her.''

Allie felt a twisted knot in her stomach. She remembered when she found Bea dead in the sink. She remembered the feeling she felt in that moment. Panic, heartbreak, devastation and feeling like the world have ended for you.

Maxine spoke again, making Allie snap out of her thoughts. ''She fought so hard to even try and get a tiny update on how you were doing. I visited you when you were on life support.'' Allie looked up and got out of Max's embrace. Maxine nodded as she continued.

''They had let me call Bea then. I told her how they can do nothing about your situation... we thought you were gone Allie.'' Max said sadly at her, she cleared her throat. ''Bea wanted to talk to you then.''

Suddenly something snapped for Allie. Something that made her mind drift away from the present conversation.


''Allie? Allie, it's me.''

''Beautiful, you can wake up now.'' The voice paused. ''You're stronger than that, you know that. Now you stop messing around and wake up, okay? Just wake up.'' The voice was shaky, Allie could hear that, though this was so confusing as Allie wasn't feeling anything, or moving or even breathing. Was she dead?

Where was this voice coming from?

''Please wake up!'' The voice sounded desperate, demanding. Then it stopped. Like it vanished into thin air. She heard another voice saying something about her not breathing on her own. What on earth was going on?

She heard a loud sob, a shaky yet very loud sob, rapid breathing along with the heartbreaking cries. Allie searched around for the voice. It was back. ''Allie..?'' This time the voice sounded small, like it had given up trying to contact her..

''It's gonna be okay...'' Was said. 'Beep', it was a heart rate monitor. But whose was it? What is going on? What is this?

''You just fly, you be free.'' Then the voice sniffled, trying not to break down. It sounded familiar but who was it? ''You go find Debbie and you look after her. And you wait for me. You wait.''

Silent cries were heard on her end. ''I love you, beautiful girl..'' The voice was cracked as then it disappeared. Finally something jolted.

No. No, no, no! Bea. It was Bea. Her lover, her strength, her seahorse.

''No, Bea, I'm here! Bea I'm not- Bea please don't'' Allie was yelling, yet nothing was happening, she was yelling but nothing was heard; only the sound of a heart rate monitor in the distance. ''I love you too.'' Allie said, only to herself.

~ end of flashback ~

''Allie?''

''Allie? Hello?'' Allie shook her head as she found herself in the van on the way to Wentworth, a worried Maxine looking at her. Allie let out a gut wrenching sob as she remembered the phone call. Maxine only grabbed her closer. '' Oh sweetie, what happened?''

''I remember Maxine. I remember the-'' She stopped, her sobbing getting a bit too much. Her breathing was starting to get uneven. She was remembering how Bea's voice sounded- how broken it was. It sounded like she had given up. Realization dawned upon her.

''No.'' was all she said, her mouth open wide. Her sobbing had stopped due to the shock.

Maxine looked at her; she looked worried sick, she looked worse than when Allie stepped into the van. ''Don't tell me she did something stupid Maxie, please.'' Allie was now exhausted, she felt broken and all she wanted to do was drift off, wake up from this nightmare. Bea: her strong, warrior of a girlfriend who put up with a lot of shit in her life, her Bea— couldn't be dead.

''Honey.. She went after Ferguson..'' was all Maxine said, and new feeling sprung upon Allie. Maxine shifted at Allie's new demeanor. It was a look that she didn't recognize; it was the look of pure hatred, vengeful.

And that really concerned Maxine.
