Chapter 1

A sea of me

Christmas 2005

The razor falls to the floor as a sea of blood cascades out of her wounded body. Slowly she falls into a sleep, her head tipping back as every fragment of her body loosens up. She's fading now, lying on the floor secretly pleading for help among all of the pain; nobody said it would take this long.

The door opens and voices can be heard, they don't see her lying helpless on the floor but it is evident something has happened as the blood seeps out from the cubicle.

A few of them stand around too afraid to open the door until Gina pushes through them. The door swings open to reveal her lying there, stone cold. In a panic someone informs CAD and an ambulance is on its way, but is it too late?

Supporting the lifeless body that lays before her she mutters words to her encouraging her to stay awake but its too late.

Meanwhile in the canteen sipping his tea carefully Smithy sits with Kezia, she appears to be flustered and he can't calm her down.

Honey rushes in as fast as she can avoiding every mobile object that walks her way. Stopping dead at Smithy's table she speaks,

"Smithy, Gina needs you urgently"

"Where is she? And what's up?" he replies, not taking a blind bit of notice. Smithy was sure that since Gina found him and Kezia in her office she would put him through days of endless bum wiping and paperwork and it looked as if it was coming true.

"Girls locker room and you'll see when you get there" She said in an agitated state before following him in there.

Before preceding into the room he turned to Honey and said with raised eyebrows,

"I hope this is something important and its not some sort of concoction between you and Inspector Gold"

"Smithy its Kerry" she said, before walking into the room.

Smithy stood there rooted to the spot; if Kerry needed help surely he was the last person she would want it from.

As soon as he saw her he went white, why on earth would she do this?

"Don't just stand their Smithy help me! I need another towel this one is covered in blood." She shouted.

Handing her the towel he crouched down towards her body, he wanted to hold her hand and tell her it would be all right but he didn't know if it would be.

Emotions kept running through his mind, feelings of hurt, guilt and pain for her. He desperately wanted to go with her to hospital but Gina had decided that it was a bad idea and she was probably right. He had cut his ties with Kerry long ago but part of him wondered if that was one of the reasons why she was lying here.

At the hospital Gina sat by her bedside she didn't know what to say to Kerry when she came round for it had been so long since they last spoke properly. Would she ask her the most important question 'Why?' or just let her be for a while? In the time she had she realised that Kerry had not intended to kill herself but it was purely a cry for help, after all if she was that adamant on dying she wouldn't have tried to kill herself in a busy station. If it were a cry for help Gina was sure that no sympathy would come from her, after all in her opinion everything that girl put herself through was from her own doing and nobody else's.

There you go, it's a nice short taster of my Christmas fic. It's not very happy at the moment I know but who knows what the next few chapters will bring I don't even know.

Will Gina change her mind about what she thinks about Kerry and will Kerry have to face up to her demons.

Please review because I have actually written a chapter of my FF, this only happens occasionally!
