Story is about Sophie and Sian. A couple that used to be on UK show Coronation Street. If you don't know of them I'd definitely advise checking them out, they were such a cute couple. Loads of vids of them on YouTube.
Will be RE-UPLOADING this story through-out the week.
Enjoy.
SOPH POV.
"Jesus how slow are they planning on working today?" I whine in my head when I see the bloody bankers going at a snail's pace with the customers. All I want to do is transfer money into my bank account, is that so much to fucking ask.
"Alright calm down soph." I whisper to myself when I feel my temp rising. I know I'm not usually this angry but I just feel so ill and on top of that I've had to take a sick day at the school, hence why I thought coming out and sorting out my money today would be the best because of how quiet it might be. I just wish I could be at work so my lovely kids today to make me feel better.
I have no idea why people dislike teaching so much, there is such a good feeling when you see a child's eyes light up when they understand something that you have just taught them and knowing you could be one of the reasons that they have a great future in front of them just because you took the time to listen and help.
I'm cut off from my inner thoughts when the person behind me in the line phone goes off and I hear the song.
"You can see my heart beating, you can see it through my chest, that I'm terr..." The song stops when the woman answers her phone.
Hearing that song throws me into a whirlwind of memories that I try to suppress most of the time. My mind is instantly filled with the memory of the woman who I still believe is the love of my life...you know that song by Katy Perry 'The one that got away.' Yeah, I know how cheesy but that is what I think when my mind drifts to Sian. Even though we broke up all those years ago, no one has ever matched up to what a great person she was...and I fucked it all up.
FLASHBACK.
"Making a move on her the minute my back's turned." Sian sneers at the idiot stood in the doorway.
"All right I got the wrong end of the stick, I'm sorry, I backed off no biggie." He says not really caring while looking back at me for backup, like I would ever take his side over Sian's.
"Well it is to me." She says back quickly with anger in her voice.
"Who are you her mum?" He scoffs at her.
"I happen to be her girlfriend actually." She says without a second's hesitation that makes my heart flutter because it is the first time she has said I'm her girlfriend to anyone else but me. Also she looks so hot jealous.
All I can think is how much I love this girl.
FLASHBACK END.
I am thrown back out of my thoughts of Sian by shouting and screaming.
"GET ON THE GROUND NOW! EVERYONE! NOW!" I hear being bellowed in the bank.
I turn my head and freeze at the sight of 4 masked people with a lot of guns walking around the bank pushing people to the ground.
"Shit." Is the only think I can say before I am pushed to the ground very hard.

SIAN POV.
RING...RING...RING...RING.
"Oh for fuck sake not today." I whine waking up from my lovely sleep when my phone doesn't stop ringing.
I feel around for my pone and I locate it under my pillow. "Hello?" I say groggily into the phone.
"Hi Sian, I'm sorry to wake you I know it is your day off and you were at work late doing paper work, but we have a situation in Piccadilly Square that requires your expertise." My friend, Officer Jackie Jones from work tells me.
I sit up and look at my bed side clock and see it is 10:34am. 6 hours sleep not too bad I guess. "What's up Jackie." I say with the tired still evident in my voice.
"Oh girl, I'm sorry to wake you but there is something bad going down. A bank in Piccadilly is being held by four gunmen with seventeen hostages, 2 children included in them, a lot of the units are down their already but you've been requested to speak to the gunmen." She tells me.
"Okay Jacks, I'll get dressed and be down there as soon as I can, then I'll get all the details." I tell her while getting some clothes ready.
"See you down there Sian." She says and hangs up.
I run into the bathroom in my bra while pulling my black trousers up and buttoning them, I wash my face and brush my teeth to get the taste of last nights coffee out of my mouth, although I don't know why I'm going to be getting another cup in a few minutes. I throw my hair into a bun and throw on my white shirt and black ankle boots. I head into my kitchen and brew some coffee to get me through what I know is going to be a hard but hopefully short day.
I head to the front door and grab my jacket, my work belt with my cuffs and detective badge strapped to it. I quickly run back to the kitchen fill my coffee cup to go, grab my keys and run out the door.

"COME ON!" I shout to the delivery van that has just stopped in front of me to drop of a new restaurants new furniture, the driver tries to wave me off but when I show him my badge he soon gets the message and moves for me to get passed, while throwing me a sorry wave.
"I threw a wish in a well don't ask me I'll nev..." I quickly change the radio channel. "No, no, no, I am not having that shit in my car." I huff and I keep flipping through the channels while at the traffic lights, I stop suddenly when I hear the song on a certain radio station.
"That I'm terrified. But I'm not leaving, I know that I must pass this test, so just pull the trigger." I zone out on everything that is around me when I hear the song that reminds me so much of the girl I have been trying to forget for the past 8 years.
FLASHBACK.
"OI you, ya sleazebag, what the hell do you think you're trying it on with Sian when you know we are together." Sophie shouts at Tommy.
"Look you can't blame a bloke for trying, it's nothing personal." He tries to reason in his arrogant way.
"Nothing personal, are you joking me, SHE'S MY FLAMING GIRLFRIEND." She rages at him.
I can't help but feel a large amount of pride and love flow through me when Sophie sticks up for me and my honour.
FLASHBACK END.
I shake my head from the memories when I hear cars beeping behind me, to inform me that the lights have turned green. I step on the accelerator and keep heading towards Piccadilly Square.
"Bloody hell Sian, you need to focus on today and then your future with Paul. She hurt you Sian, you can't let her back into your head." I tell myself as I park the car and focus on the task at hand which is getting everyone out and making sure everyone goes home.
I hop out of my car and take in the scene around me, there's a helicopter circling the bank, police cars and riot vans everywhere, armed forces with snipers on buildings surrounding the bank and some special armed forces for back up. I see my fellow officers and detectives waving me over so they can fully brief me.
"Let's do this Sian." I sigh and walk towards them.
