Chapter 2:

Janet and Rachel were in the pub. Janet slumped over a bottle of wine that was practically empty, Rachel was rubbing her hand. "Jan, can't you see why they kept it from you? Don't you think you would have done the same? I know it's inexcusable but don't you think they did it because they love you? They did it to protect you Janet" she looked up from her bottle and looked into Rachel's eyes. "I don't know, I just can't believe I never knew"

Rachel nodded in agreement, but she couldn't find the right words to say anything decent. "I don't know Jan, I suppose you could apologise" Rachel suggested. "You know deep down that they did it to protect you, yes it was a shock and the way you reacted was understandable but you didn't mean half the stuff you said! You don't hate them; Gill is still your oldest friend. Am I right?" "Yes I suppose. Ugh, you're always right, bloody Sherlock" Rachel just smiled; she hated seeing her friend so depressed. "So you're going to go and talk it out with them?" Rachel prompted. "Yes I will, tomorrow though, I want to sober up before" she said, finishing her glass. "Well don't you think you should head home? Have a bath, go to sleep. Then go around tomorrow and talk" Rachel said, pulling the bottle off Janet. "Fine. Can you give me a lift home?" Janet asked, grabbing her bag. "Yes of course, come on" Rachel took hold of Janet's arm, pulling her out of the pub. "Oh, I need to get my phone" Janet said "I left it in the office. I need it." Janet said, walking back into the station. "Jan do you want me to go up for you?" Rachel said, grabbing her friends arm. "No. I'll be fine. I will just get my phone and leave; I don't need to say anything yet" Janet began to walk up the stairs, grabbing the rail with both hands so she didn't trip.

Up in the office, Gill had sent everyone home and she and Andy were sat opposite each other. Gill filled their glasses up for a third time, and downed it as much as she could. "I don't want to lose Janet" Gill babbled, trying to remain up right. "You won't. She'll see sense; she will understand that we kept it from her for her own sake." Andy said, pushing his glass away. "Why aren't you drinking?" Gill said, drowning his glass as well. "I think one of us should keep a clear head. Come on, let me take you home, you can rest and then you'll see she will ring you" Andy said, standing up. He lifted her arm, going to put it around his neck so he could get his ex-wife down the stairs.

As he lifted her, she looked up; obvious to the fact their faces were centimetres away from each other. Gill pulled herself up right, letting go of Andy. "Do…you still have feeling for me?" she asked, grabbing her coat of the back of the chair. "I don't know. I didn't think I did, but now I'm not too sure" Andy said, glancing out of the window. "Do you still have feelings for me?" he added, watching Gill's reaction. "Maybe, I suppose we were forced to put our feelings deep down, for Janet's sake." She said, looking into his eyes.

"Right um, well, I think we had better get you home" Andy said, shuffling his feet. "Yeah, right, ok" Gill began to walk towards the door, catching her spinning chair as she went. She tripped over the wheel, forgetting to put her hands down. She landed on her face, causing a carpet burn to appear down the side of her cheek and she bashed her head off the radiator as she fell. "Boss! Are you okay?" Andy said, kneeling down. "I don't know what just happened. I don't normally get drunk on just a bottle" she said, rubbing her face. "It normally takes a couple" she added.

Andy put his hands on her face and began rubbing his thumbs on her cut. "Does that hurt?" he said, looking closer at it. "A bit, it's awfully sore." "Let's have a closer look, if it's got anything in it, it could get infected, there's a bit of blood from where you hit it off the radiator" he leaned in, looking closer at the cut. "Turn your head slightly" Gill did as she was told but turned the wrong way, causing her lips to swipe his mouth. "Oops, sorry" she said giggling. "That's quite alright" Andy said, turning her head to face him.

Gill leaned in, kissing Andy's lips softly. That old romance was re-surfacing, that chemistry that they had felt in a similar situation all those years ago. They looked deep into each other's eyes, sparking the same feelings that appeared in their stomach, similar to their wedding day. Andy stood up, lifting Gill up with him. He kissed her lips again, taking his hands off her face and wrapping them around her waist. She put her arms around his neck, pulling him closer. It felt so wrong because of the earlier events, but it felt so right because there was history.

At that moment Janet stumbled through the door, she made her way towards her desk, unaware of what was going on in the office. She picked up her phone and turned around, looking directly into Gill's office. She saw Gill and Andy wrapped around each other, in their own little world. Janet walked up to the window, and pressed herself up against it. She wasn't sure what she was doing, but she needed to make sure what she was seeing was real.

Andy and Gill. Their hands wrapped around one another, their lips wrapped around one another. They didn't seem to care about what had happened earlier, they only seemed interested in each other's mouths. Janet felt a tear down the side of her face as she turned to walk outside, but she tripped on her ankle, causing her to buckle. She grabbed the window ledge and let out a squeal. Andy and Gill broke apart to find Janet staring at them, shock and rage written all over her face.

She turned around and began to walk out the office; "Don't follow me!" she screamed. She ignored the shouts from Gill and Andy and ran down the stairs. She grabbed Rachel's arm and towed her out onto the car park. "Janet what's up?" "I'll tell you at home. Get in and drive" Janet said, getting into the passenger side of the car.

Gill and Andy sat up in the office, their head in their hands. "Well we've messed that up haven't we?" Gill said, rubbing her face, it had begun to swell now. "What were we thinking? It's just our luck that would have walked in." Andy stood up "Right, come on. Let's follow her, she's probably gone home. We shall just explain that it was only for a second, and that it was only because you had banged your head right?" he said, looking at Gill. "I don't know. Was that all it was? Because I banged my head?" she said, looking up. "So, if I hadn't have fallen over, then we wouldn't have kissed? So it wasn't a: 'I've got to have you now' kiss, it was a 'here's a kiss to stop your head from bleeding' sort of thing?" Andy didn't know what to say. He didn't want to hurt Gill by lying and saying the kiss meant nothing, but he didn't want to inflame the situation with Janet by saying it meant everything to him. "No. it meant a lot to me, all of our moments mean a lot to me, but Janet doesn't need to know that yet. She's got to know that it meant nothing, and then we will have to go from there. I hate lying to her, but we can't lose her, Gill. She both our oldest friends. Come on" Andy took hold of his ex-wife's hand, as they walked out the office.

They were both quiet in the car, they weren't quite sure what to say to each other…
