"I am very sorry for your loss," said another person as Marian stood there, thanking them an autopilot, she wished she was anywhere but there right now,

"Maz babe, you okay?" Mira asked putting a comforting hand on her friends shoulder,

"Not really, I've just lose the one person I cared most for with all my heart," Marian said trying not to let her tears get the better of her,

"You know he would hate seeing you like this," Saffiyah added coming the other side of her,

"He was my big brother, he looked after me and now…now I have no one," Marian whispered,

"That's not true you have us," Dean said,

"I know, but I want him and my father back," Marian said finally beginning to let herself break down her barriers and cry,

"If only they hadn't of sent him in, then he wouldn't have died!" Marian sobbed,

"No one was to know the building collapsed, Carter was only doing his job he was saving people's lives," Saffiyah soothed,

"Yea, it was his dream to join the fire service, you gotta think, at least he died saving someone's life," Mira said,

"I know I'm being selfish but what about me, I have no family, my mother died when I was young, my father died of old age and my brother was snatched away in the cruelest way," Marian said as they led her to a chair,

"We don't choose how to die, but he is in a happier place now," Dean said handing her a glass of wine,

"He will always be remembered as a hero," Saffiyah finished as Marian looked at each of her best friends,

"I don't know what I would've done if you guys hadn't of been here," Marian said as they engulfed her in a group hug,

"It's what family's for," Mira smiled,

"I have to go to the fire station tomorrow, clean out his locker and everything and then to his flat he shared…it's funny all these years and I never got to meet his flat mate," Marian sighed,

"We could always do it for you, if you're not feeling up to the job?" Mira offered,

"Thanks, but I need to do this myself, for closure I guess," Marian smiled,

Each of her friends nodded in understanding, they knew this was the only way that Marian could come to terms with what has happened,

"You guys should go, it's getting late," Marian said looking at the clock on the wall,

"We're staying to help you clean up," Dean smiled grabbing a plastic bag,

"You'd think that these people were old enough to clean up their own mess, but no, they leave us to do it…if I ever die…make sure people don't leave until my house is spic and span," Mira said picking up numerous plastic cups and plates,

"I'll keep that in mind," Dean laughed,

"Maz, go to bed, we're fine, we have everything under control," Saffiyah said as her friend tried to stifle a yawn,

"Are you sure, I wouldn't want Mira to die of hard work," Marian said managing a small smile,

"Of course we don't mind, now go!" Saffiyah smiled as she frog marched Marian to the top of the stairs,

"I'm gonna sleep in Carter's room tonight," Marian said as she called goodnight to everyone and slowly climbed into Carter's bed

Marian was due to meet John Little the following day, he was station officer at the fire station Carter had worked for, she knew John well, he had been like a father to her in the roughest of times,

"Hi John, sorry I took so long getting here," Marian said opening the door to his office,

"Marian…how are you?" John asked, he was a large man, more of a giant, but he had the kindest of hearts, but he could still scare the shit out of you if you pissed him off,

"Not so good, but I've got to learn to cope with it," Marian sighed,

"Come on then, let's get the unpleasant bit over with," John said putting his arm around her shoulder and leading her off to the lockers,

"Boy's, this is Marian…Carter's sister," John said as he introduced her,

"Hey, I'm Will, I worked with your brother, we all did," Will said as everyone nodded in agreement, he was a tall man, dark hair, dark eyes, he had a moustache like thing on his lip and below on his chin, but it made his look handsome,

"I'm Much, I'm ever so sorry for your loss; if there is anything we can do…" Much said holding out his hand as Marian shook it, he was a man, quite short, not tall like Will, he had blonde hair and brown eyes,

"The name's Allan," Allan grunted, he wasn't good with emotional feelings, he was average height taller than Much but shorter then Will, he had Strawberry blonde hair, electric blue eyes and had a kind of moustache and goatee surrounding his lips and chin,

"We are missing one fire fighter, he was on the same mission as your brother, he has been side lined for a month," John explained sadly, "They were two of our best,"

"Why was he side lined?" Marian asked,

"Robin was the one your brother saved, he pushed him out the way, but as he did, Robin fell onto glass, it stabbed him," John explained quietly as they others looked down to the floor each remembering that horrific day,

Just then they heard the door of the changing rooms open and in stepped a roughish man with Brown hair long enough so it curled at the back of his neck and that his fringe flopped down to the top of his right eye, baby blue eyes and was just the same height as Allan, except Marian couldn't help noticing he looked a lot fitter in the tight shirt and butt hugging jeans he had on, she could tell he went to the gym more than once a week, but she swore she knew him before,

"Robin…you're not meant to be here!" John warned,

"I know, but I couldn't exactly sit at home and do nothing now could I?" Robin snapped, "My best friend died and it was my entire fault,"

"Don't say that, you weren't to know," Marian blurted before she could stop herself,

"And how do you know?" Robin demanded noticing her for the first time, she was beautiful, with her ice blue eyes and her black hair coming to just below the shoulders in loose curls, her perfect complexion, but he couldn't help but think that he knew her from somewhere,

"You weren't there; you didn't know what happened,"

"No, but I'd like to know what happened," Marian said taking a step forward, out of John's arm,

"Are you another reporter, because I told you before, I have no comment," Robin threatened,

"Robin, calm down," John warned, Will, Allan and Much watched on as things started to get a little awkward,

"No I am not a reporter, my name is Marian…I'm Carter's sister," Marian said as Robin finally took a good look at her, the more he focused on her the more he could actually see the resemblance,

"I'm…I'm sorry I didn't mean to have a go like that," Robin apologized,

"It's ok, I understand, I heard that he saved your life," Marian said softly,

"He was my best friend,"

"He loved you like a brother, he wasn't just going to let you die," Marian said, putting a comforting hand on his arms, as she did, she could help but notice the little spark that she felt as her skin touched his,

Robin felt it too as he looked down at her pale hand on his tanned arm

"But he had you, I have no one, if I died, I wouldn't be leaving anyone mourning, there is no one close to my heart," Robin sighed, tears threatening to spill, "I couldn't even make it to the funeral, they wouldn't let me out of hospital,"

"You did have someone…you had Carter, you would've left him heartbroken, he spoke about you every time he came to stay with me, he spoke about you like a brother," Marian soothed, "I'm sure he understands why you couldn't be at the funeral,"

"Marian, his locker is here," John said standing next to an open locker,

"Thanks John, sorry, I'll be out of your way soon," Marian apologized to the rest of the gang,

"Nah, it's ok," Allan said,

Marian walked over to his locker with a cardboard box and began sorting through the mess, she felt something hard as she pulled it from the depths of the locker, it was a picture Marian made of them together when they were smaller, Marian was giggling as Carter gave her a piggy back, her father was the one that took the picture, it was her birthday, so she made this Carter and gave it to him on his birthday when he was sixteen, something to keep,

Marian felt the tears falling as she looked at the happiness of the photo, not a care in the world,

As she wiped away the tears she felt a comforting arm on the small of her back and look up to see Robin staring down at her sadly,

"I lived with Carter; I could take you there now if you like?" Robin said,

"Yea please, I'd really appreciate it," Marian sniffed, packing the rest of his stuff away,

"It was nice meeting you all, although I wish it could've been on happier terms," Marian smiled as she turned round to look at everyone,

"Yea, if only it was a different situation," Will smiled as he watched Marian go,

"Don't work yourself to hard Rob, don't come back to work until you feel fit enough," Allan said patting his friend on the back,

"Don't worry I won't, I guess I'll see you guy's later at the pub…a drink in his honor?" Robin suggested,

"Sounds like a perfect idea," Marian said from the door, they all turned round, they didn't expect her to be there,

"Would you like to come?" Allan asked,

"Yea, I'd love to, mind if I bring some friends, they were close to Carter too?" Marian asked.

"You can bring whoever you want," Will smiled as Robin waved them goodbye and took Marian to the car park,

"You can follow me there in your car," Robin smiled as he started to dive to his and Carter's apartment,

Well, what do you think? Lol
