Chas and Cameron one-shot! Based just after the affair has been exposed, Chas has not been arrested for Carl's murder yet.
"Cameron, what have we done?" Chas gasped, tears leaving mascara trails down her cheeks. It had been a car-crash day, and now everyone knew about her secret affair with her niece's fiancé. "Chas, sssh. It'll be ok; we'll find a way to sort it out." Cameron whispered, feeling his heart break at his lover's anguish. He wrapped his arms around the shaking woman on the pub's backroom sofa. Chas, who was normally so strong and beautiful. He loved her so much, and he wanted to do whatever he could to protect her from the wrath of her family.
"But Debbie, the baby, Sarah..." She sobbed, holding onto Cameron as if he were her lifeline, the only thing keeping her in this world. Her family hated her, her son had moved abroad and her friends we shocked by her actions. "Chas, Chas, Chas. Please look at me. I love you so much, you mean everything to me. First thing tomorrow morning, I'll book tickets and we'll leave. Just us two, we'll leave this entire village behind. A fresh start. Sound ok?" He begged her.
Chas nodded shakily, realising this was her only choice, to leave with the man she loved and leave her family and friends behind. Not that she had any family or friends anymore. She refused to let go of him for fear of breaking apart, and him leaving her too. She gave Cameron a shaky smile, a ghost of her normal smile, and Cameron gently kissed her temple. "I love you." And neither of them let go until the sun rose.
