this chapter has a lot of references to violence, selfharm. I'll add a summary at the end for you if you will be affect.

Connie came back round and was pinned to the floor once again. Connie tried to scream for help but couldn't. She felt something sharp against her neck. She looked into Sam's eyes and she could only see pure hatred. Sam forced the knife into Connie's side and she screamed out in so much pain. She had no strength in her to fight anymore. She let the knife enter her three more times before looking into Sam's eyes and saying in a very weak tone

"Why?" Connie let the tears fall she was too tiered to act like the strong, arrogant and manipulating woman people called her she was just like any other person just with higher authority.

Sam just reminded Connie of what Rita had just scene and how she HAD been pregnant. Sam stood up and just to make sure the baby wouldn't see daylight he kicked Connie six more times in the belly before he collapsed onto the floor.

Rita dropped the lead pipe and ran over to Connie and bent down to her level as Connie said

"Rita Freeman, In the kitchen with the lead pipe" and then lost consciousness for a third time.

Rita went to check if Sam had a pulse. He didn't. She performed CPR for twenty minutes before realising he was dead. She had to cover this up in some way. But how?

Back at the hospital Robyn had found Michelle sitting in the relative room with Libby.

"Hiya, sorry to interrupt but when I was at yours I, one, found out you son has been fucking Jack and, two, this letter addressed to you. I think you should open it" Robyn said with no emotion. Michelle opened it and read it aloud

'Dear Michelle,

If you are reading this I have either successfully completed what I wanted to do. Or ended up in hospital for trying. I'm just going to presume you are reading this because I've finally died. I killed myself. For a while now I've been cutting myself, burning myself, starving myself. It's not because of you I promise. Chelsea has been back in touch. Your probably thinking 'that's a good thing' it's not. She's been telling me she wants me dead and I should just kill myself in the most painful way. So I am. If you look at my thighs you'll see I've got several scars. That was done when you was away. Look on my arms cuts and burns. I did them when getting ready for my wedding that never happened. Look at my sides. That's the place I will have done it the worse I started doing it there because it was more painful. I love it. My life has been a fuck up and I'm fucking yours up now. You don't need me anymore. When I took that overdose. I felt so much joy that I will finally be gone. But, if I've ended up in a coma turn it off I want to die. I deserve it. Michelle you are my beautiful baby girl and I love you to the moon and back and longer if I can. Please don't be mad. I love my sexy girl. Please wipe your tears. My funeral plans are hidden under the mattress and enough money to pay for everything. I love you chelle stay strong for me.

Carla xxx'

Michelle fell to the floor her tears streaming her heart breaking. She need to help Carla. But how?

Back at Connie house Rita was stalking the hallway thinking of a plan. Then she realised she didn't need to hide it she Was protecting Connie.

"SHIT CONNIE!" Rita said as she remembered her girlfriends body was still lying next to the guy who had attacked her. Rita ran back into the room to see Connie on her side curled up crying. Rita ran over to Connie

"He killed my baby. He kill my body. He's kill my everything! I have to remember what he did to me but he got the easy way out! Rita I cant cope" Connie wept. Rita had just ignore everything Connie said except the vital bit 'he killed my baby!'

Rita left to room and rang the police. They where there within seconds because of the incidents with mark they had police on stand by.
