I Do not own ashes, i just worship it. Please R&R. This is a Galex songfic to the Shania Twain song, I Ain't No Quitter. I Thought it summed them up. This is if they got together, which they should! Please R&R!


He drinks-he smokes
he'll cuss-he swears-he tells bad jokes
yeah, he ropes-he rides
he lives life fast, and he loves to fight

Alex sighed as she watched her boyfriend. He had a whisky chaser in his hand and a cigarette in his mouth. He didn't even seem to be showing any guilt for the man's face he had just smashed in. She was driving him home after this. She knew he'd be hammered by the time they left Luigi's.


he's a boozer-a loser
he calls me up when he's had too much
a schemer-a dreamer

But, then again, every night ended like this lately. He had been caught going into a jewellers recently. Looking at rings. Not a favourite pastime of Gene Hunt. Unless... Alex was praying she was wrong. Gene Hunt did not do commitment, not to her at least. She wondered if, if he asked her, she would say yes.

when I tell him to change his ways
he just turns to me and says
'I ain't no quitter'

no, I ain't givin' up on him just yet
cause I'm as stubborn as a girl can get
he wont quit-but you can bet
I'm stickin' to it
I- ain't- I ain't no quitter

She thought about it for a second. She knew she couldn't give up on this relationship. Whether it was real or in her bloody head. She loved him. That she couldn't deny. He wasn't perfect, far from it, but, who was? She knew she had flaws as well. A mouthy tart. Gene's favourite way to describe her, and she had to admit she was.

he chews-he spits
he flirts too much, and he loves blonde chicks
he struts-he strolls
he looks so cool, and yeah, he knows
he's a beauty - a cutie
his body rocks, and the girls they flock
he's afflicted-addicted

She looked at the way he walked over to the table where Chris, ray and Shaz were sat. He strode over like a man with power. She looked at the way his black suit jacket was loose, flapping out behind him. His filthy white shoes and dodgy tie. He plonked himself down on a seat and pulled off his leather driving gloves

no, I ain't givin' up on him just yet
cause I'm as stubborn as a girl can get
no, I ain't givin' up on him just yet
cause I'm as stubborn as a girl can get
he wont quit-but you can bet
I'm stickin' to it
I- ain't- I ain't no quitter
I- ain't- I ain't no quitter
oh baby, I- ain't- I ain't no quitter
yeah I ain't no quitter yeah yeah yeah I ain't noooooo quitter

He saw her staring at him and waved her over. She sat down beside him, kissing him on the lips. He smiled and kissed her back while the others pretended not to notice. She would never give up on on him, quit loving him. Nobody was perfect on their own, but together, they could be. They would be.

That was what she reflected on when she woke up in the early hours of the morning in his bed. She closed her eyes and snuggled into him. He was her Gene Hunt.
