Searching

This is my first attempt ar Ashes to Ashes fics, its Alex's thoughts when she is in the Railway Arms. It is really short as I feel it is finished where it is so I hope you enjoy it.

We're forever searching, searching for where we belong, searching for who we really are. I was searching for a long time, 3 years, to get home, home to my daughter. But somehow I lost my way, I began to fall in love and now I have no way of getting home to my daughter.

Truth is I'm dead, Arthur Layton shot me in 2008, and I ended up there, with Gene Hunt, in purgatory. My time was even up there, I helped Gene, Ray, Chris and Shaz to remember the truth, to remember what happened to them. I helped Gene to get Ray, Chris and Shaz safely to heaven, helped them escape Jim Keats. Turns out it was my turn to go too. I didn't want to, didn't want to leave him all alone. But I know I had to, it was time for him to help someone else pass.

So here I am, in The Railway Arms. And here I will be, waiting for him, because his time will come. I'm no longer searching, I'm waiting, for this place to become my heaven the way it should be.
