Jen had been waiting in the prison cells for a day, but to her it felt like she had been there for ages. With nothing to do to occupy her she was left with her thoughts how she could have done things differently.
She wishes she could see Tilly she needs to explain things better. Even though she said sorry to her before she was taken away. She wanted to know what Tilly was thinking more than anything. Would Tilly want to talk to her again? Then started to over analyse would Tilly want to speak to her again? The thought of her never speaking Hurt her to the core.
Later that day Jen was aloud bail, she was free go for now, but to be honest she wasn't sure where to go as she didn't feel she would get a warm welcome from Diane. So she called Liam.
"Hi Liam...Jen where are you? I outside the police station will you come and meet me please. Yeah, wait there I'll be there in 5 minutes. Ok see you soon.
Liam made his way to the station, once he arrived he stopped for a second and starred at his sister standing there she looked so upset. He carried on walking towards her.
"Liam" said jen. Liam grabbed his sister and gave a hug. He pulled away "Come on let go" Liam said. "Go where though Liam, I don't think Diane will want me back home do you?
Liam: Where else are you going to then? Come on let's go
Jen: No, I can't go back there?
Liam: ok well then let me speak to Maxine to see if you can stay there.
Liam and jen go the village to see if they can find Maxine. As they make it into village jen can see more people are starring at here giving her dirty looks. Jen put her down as she walks.
When they arrive to her flat Liam rings the doorbell. Until Cindy approaches them from price slice next door to Maxine flat.
"Oh I am surprised you can show your face here. After your scandal with a student doesn't look like you will be getting a teaching job ever again.
Liam: Shut up Cindy your one to talk. "And you what's that supposed to mean" Cindy said.
You know you're always to your scheming ways finding old rich man that nearly at death doors. Just like Texas Longford granddad?" "Well at least I never had affair with student, come to mention you're not the first teacher who dated there student Nancy's sister Becca had affair with student Justin Burton and they had a kid together Charlie"
While all the time Cindy was making remarks about her. Jen didn't know what to say or what to all she wanted to do was run away.
In the end she had enough, "Liam I am going" Jen begins slowly walk away, until Liam approaches her and puts his hands on Jen's shoulder "Jen, please I know this is difficult for you, but it is going to be expected, you got yourself in this situation. Jen rolls her eyes "Liam, I know people are going to judge me and make comments, I just not ready today, I am just so tired from all this, i haven't slept at all last night and I don't need you of people having a go at me. I just need to speak to Tilly"
"Jen, that is stupid idea, it's over between you too. I think that least of your worries now don't you? She just a child, especially the way she ended with getting revenge by calling police" You don't know it was her " No, but she holds all the cards though, if only you listened to me i did tell you could arrested and now look what has happened Liam said stern tone.
Jen had enough of him having a go; he was making sure that Jen knew that he was right. But she didn't feel same way she thought that they both were blame it was such a mess, she just didn't like fact he kept going on and on at her.
Jen turned around and walked away from him. "Oh that right walk away, I am here to help you. "Well you're not helping me at all with reminding me" "Oh so who helping you find a place to crash, oh right that me, come on" Liam waving his arm to jen. "Thank you, I just need some space for the moment while i still have my freedom, okay? "Well give me a call later on, and I'll try find Maxine ok. I am here for you sis" I know and thanks"
Jen had walk around the park and sat behind a tree and it was quite nice outside she had been sat there for couple of hours to her it was nice the wind blowing on her skin. She kind of wished she had her sketch pad with because normally that what she would be doing. As was watching people come and go. She got the odd couple of stares but which didn't really bother her.
It started getting a bit darker she checked her for time on phone as she unlocked her phone. She started to feel sad the reason her wallpaper on her phone was of her and Tilly. It was of tilly kissing jen on skin, with jen smiling. Instinctively she placed her finger on her phone. After about couple minutes she told herself she needed move. As she didn't have place to stay.
Jen was walking past the savages boat with her arms folded. Until 3 teenagers approached her "Oi Miss how you would rate that Tilly Even in bed? What you really need a real man.
A voice came from the pub, who ran over to where jen was "Oi, beat it" the teenager in the middle moved closer to the guy the teenager was wearing shirt and jeans and looked like he cocky so and so "me and the teacher are having a conversation aren't we? "Well I don't think she wants a conversation with you one bit so piss of" Come on guy let leave these looser" the teens walked pasted Jen and this guy.
"Thanks, you didn't have to" "No problem, I wouldn't listen to them there idiots" Jen nods her head "sorry I don't know your name I've seen you around you work in the deli, don't you?
Yeah, and I own the place, well not just me, my partner Doug, well he not my partner, partner he working partner" Jen laughs a little and was little bit taken back by it. "I bet that the first time you did that with everything going on its everywhere, it's okay, I'm not one to judge on relationship, people are easy to judge mine, believe me"
I'm so sorry I have forgotten your name" jen a little bit embarrassed.
The guy smile at Jen "Ste, come over sit with me" Ste and jen sit outside the pub, where he was sitting before helping out jen.
"Well it's finally nice to talk to someone, who will not judge me on the choices that I have made"
"Made plenty myself, sometime don't you wish could stop yourself from falling in love with that person that can cause you so much drama and hurt"
"Brendan and I had been on and off for ages, everyone told me he no good for me and was bad man, but there was something that I could see a softer side to him a caring and loving person, yeah he done some bad stuff and now he been taken away from me. I will never see again" jen was listening to everything he was saying and agreeing even though see didn't know Brendan she understood what he saying that how she felt some people felt with her and Tilly.
"My life is such a mess" jen puts her hands on her face and then slowly moves her hands and rest them on her lap.
I have been questioned by the police, spent night in prison, have nowhere to stay, and I have lost Tilly.
"You don't that, she could be waiting for you, yeah maybe but I could be going to prison and though of not seeing her for long time hurts me."
" Well then you two need talk then don't you, but I can sort one of your problems, you stay at mine, I have spare room" No you have to" No your right I don't but I want to so come on let go"
Jen and ste stand up and make their way to ste flat. Once arrived, Ste unlocks the door "thanks so much for letting me stand here again"
"no problem at all c'mon you can put the kettle on then" Ste nudges "yeah sure"
Tilly had been pacing the floor in her house wondering what happening with jen right now. Tilly's phone started ringing; she picked up her phone see who was calling her. It was Esther she ignored the call, she didn't want to talk to her really cos all she would be talking about is if she ok and Jen.
As she made her way to the kitchen, her mum had left her note, which read Tilly, can you pick yourself something for dinner as me and your father are going to be work late. Plus get us some milk there none in the fridge Mum x
Tilly made her way to the village into price slice, while purchase her items. Cindy was behind the till. "I saw your teacher here earlier on Jen" Tilly was little shocked, did she really here correctly.
"JEN, did you say Jen was here" Tilly said with her voice slightly raised. "No" Tilly looked a lit bit deflated. "She wasn't in here she with Liam knocking on Maxine door.
Once Tilly paid for her food, she left the shop, trying to see if she spot jen out apart her wish she didn't because she was still angry for the way she had treated her but at the same time she wanted to see her. Jen really did toy with her emotions. This moment she wanted to find her so she stated to look for maybe she went back to Diane, but she though Sinead who of texted or called her by now if she had shown up there.
Over hour Tilly had been searching for. Back at Ste place jen and ste chatting away about their love life's and how they would do things differently. And time passed by ste and jen were getting hungry it was gone half six. Ste got up checked the fridge, he had nothing in. "I'm going to head out and grab something for us to eat" "ok, I won't be long, make yourself at home. "Thanks"
When ste left jen texted Liam to let him know that she had a place to stay tonight. So he knew. She decided to hit the shower.
Tilly had still been searching for Jen; she kind of gave up on hope in finding her. She decided to make her way home. Ste was walking toward her "ah you look cheerful, you know Jen at mine"
"What she's at your place, how come?" I'm letting her stay there she got nowhere else to go. I think you should go over to mine"
"Why, what for" questioned Tilly "because you two need to talk and be alone we each other without other people getting involved, she would like to see you" "yeah right she probably hates me now" Do you really believe that, all she has done at mine, has spoken about how she messed up, so I think that tells you see wants to see you, don't you?
"Go on then, I'll let you two be alone." "you sure" Yeah i am sure now go" ste said.
Tilly ran as fast as she could to Ste place her heart was racing, she felt nervous to go over and see, she wasn't sure what to say, but carried on running. Tilly had made it to the flats, she stop outside flats and tries to catch her breath and took a deep breath and made her way to front door and knocked.
Jen had finished in shower and she headed out of the bathroom into the bedroom there was knock on the door. Jen thought it must be Ste she opened the door and was gobsmacked to see who was standing there right in front of her. "Tilly" jen said will gulp.
