OK SO I KNOW LOTS OF YOU ARE GETTING IMPATIANT AND ARE WAITING FOR JELLY…SOOOO…HERE YOU ARE XXX

Jen lay in bed for most of the day…Going over what had happened…She kicks herself that she didn't go after Tilly but at the same time was as shocked at the events of this morning as Tilly was…

Also on her mind was how angry Hayley was at her….Hayley just assumed Jen had done what Jen does best and made choices she would later regret…

She knocked on Hayley's door…

Can I come in? She asks…Not giving Hayley a chance to answer…H..I know your angry with me. And you have every right to be….

Im sorry I let her stay over. But…It wasn't as you thought….She had no way of getting back home. I couldn't just leave her….

So you bring her home and sleep with her? Hayley asked with raised eyebrows..

Jen sits on the end of Hayley's bed…shaking her head…

No I didn't. I swear to you….I never touched her….Infact I think I bored her with talk of Tilly….

As soon as I woke up I tried getting rid of her…

When Tilly arrived I freaked out…

Jen sighed heavily as her mind relived the moment….God H…the look on Tillys face? She was crushed…

Well Jen what do you expect. She just walked in on you with a half naked women…

I know..Jen snapped sadly…..I couldn't get my words out…It all happened so fast and before I knew it she was out the door…

In floods of tears ..Hayley added…

Jen wiped a single tear off her cheek….The worst thing was….she was apologising….beating herself up about yesterday…She even tried opening up….Im sure she was about to tell me she still had feelings for me….

Oh C'mon Jen I think that's obvious…..Look..Hayley said as she sat next for her friend…I love you…You're my best friend and I will always have your back…But sometimes I have to tell you when your acting up…..Sometimes your infuriate me with your stupidness…..Anyone can see You and Tilly are still very much in love….And before you say it…I know what she did yesterday floored you…but you know her Jen…..You know her better then anyone…and you know she was hurting…

You just let her go…..Why? Hayley asked

Jen shrugged…I don't know…I was scared….I couldn't take her rejecting me again I guess…

Hayley squeezed her friends shoulder…Look…I cant keep advising you on your love life. She nudged playfully…But I will say one more time…You have to fight ….If you want her Jen…go and get her…Don't take no for an answer…..

Jen nodded…And if she rejects me?

Hayley sighed…Then you let go….life your life…

Jen thought about nothing else for the next hour before grabbing her keys and heading out the door…

Where you going|? Hayley frowned..

Im going to fight…Jen winked as she left the flat…

Jen hurried to Tillys only to get no answer. The girl who lived next door told her she saw Tilly leave 20 minutes ago…Jen thanked her and headed to the Coffee shop….

Hi…..she said to the girl behind the counter…Im looking for Tilly…Is she here? She asked hopeful…

No sorry. The girl smiled..Tillys off ..she wont be back for a week or two I think?

Jen looked confused…Oh…um…do you know why she's off so long?

The girl explained that Tilly had called in and said she had some family stuff she had to take care off and was heading back up north…

With out a second thought Jen rushed back home and started packing a bag…

Jen I get you need to see her ..but going back to Chester? I don't think it's a good Idea babe.? Hayley said trying to calm Jen down…

No it isn't…im not exactly welcome there. But if that's where she is…that's where im heading..

Ok..look..why don't you call her first?

She wont answer…H…im going …bad idea or not…If anything it will show Tilly im serious…

Hayley could see there was no changing Jens mind…Ok well im coming with you then..

Jen shook her head. No…I have to do this one by myself…

Hayley pleaded for Jen to reconsider and let her come along but it feel of deaf ears…..

Later on that day Jen arrived in Chester…Where she was going she didn't know….How she would track Tilly down was also a hurdle…

After she had explained to Liam where she was going he asked her to collect something's for him from Maxine…so she headed to her place ..hoping she wouldn't be spotted…

Quickly rushing through the village and into the building she knocked the door..

Hi…Um…Liam…

Yeah he called me. Maxine winked…Come in…

Maine made Jen a Coffee…It pretty nice of you to come all this way for liams stuff? She said hoping to find out more..

Jen read Maxine like a book it was obvious she was after some Gossip….That's not why im here…..Im here for Tilly….

Thought so…Maxine grinned…

Jen frowned…

Well I see her this morning and them Liam calls…It was hard to out 2 and 2 together…Ok Liam told me. She giggled…

Look Jen…im all for love and stuff so ..good for you….And listen im betting you haven't got anywhere to stay?

Jen shook her head " I'll get a B&B later…she replied..

Uh no you wont…You can stay here…I'll be at work all night…so your have the place to yourself…

The club? Jen asked..

Yeah its reopening tonight…Maxine explained. The McQueen's have it….can you believe it..?

Jen rolled her eyes..Oh god…She laughed…Thanks Maxine…I appreciate it…

Maxine finished off her Coffee ..Don't mention it. I'll give you a key just in case …..

As Maxine got ready for work Jen watched out the window…Walking through the Village was…George,Ruby,and Sinead…they were heading in the direction of the pub…If they were all going there then there was a good chance Tilly would be joining them…

Jen shouted to Maxine she was heading out ..grabbing her bag she headed off to the Dog…

It wasn't long before she dumped into familiar faces….As she walked across the Village she was met by a shocked looking Diane…

Jen? She said shocked….Didn't think I'd ever see you again?

Jen looked down and noticed the bump…Your pregnant?

Looks like it ..Diane said sarcastically…

Wow…Jen knew how desperately Diane wanted to be a Mum to her own children…Congratulations…

Diane nodded…So…? Why are you here?

Jen didn't feel she needed to explain to Diane the last time they were in each others company Diane had slapped Jen..

I have to go…Jen answered and walked away leaving Diane confused…

As Jen headed into the Dog her eyes scanned the room till they searched out what they were looking for…Taking a deep breath she approached the table…

Tilly..She whispered…

Tilly almost choked on her Wine…she couldn't believe it was Jen whispering her name..

Tilly can we talk? Jen asked..

You got a nerve…Esther hissed from the other side of the table…

I don't have anything to say to you..Tilly answered…

Well maybe you can let me do the talking then? Jen muttered…Feel all eyes on her…

Did you not hear her? Esther said answering for Tilly..

Jen looked at Esther out the corner of her eye…I wasn't talking to you…

Tilly….she swallowed..10 minutes? Please?…

Tilly you don't have to listen to her…Esther said….She doesn't deserve your time…C'mon lets go…She added as she got up to leave….

Tilly…Jen said again this time bending down so she gain eye contact…I know I don't deserve it…but im begging you….

Tilly? Lets go. Esther pushed…

Tilly thought for a few moments….I'll catch you up Es…

Tilly please tell me your joking? Esther moaned…Do you not remember what she's done to you..?….Again?

I said I'll catch you up Es…Tilly said sternly…Looking at Jen ..you have 5 minutes..

The two take a seat outside the pub so they could talk….

You've come a long way to talk..Tilly sulked…Or are you here to tell me about your new girlfriend. Or isn't to tell me what mistake she was….

For someone that has nothing to say your talking a lot..Jen spat back..

I don't need this..Tilly insisted as she rose off her chair…

Ok..wait..im sorry…I just need for you to listen to me…Jen begged…

Tilly….I shouldn't have let you leave the way you did….not with out explaining anyways…

Explain what? You're a free agent…Tilly snapped..

Jen rolled her eyes. She knew Tilly wasn't going to let her off easily….ok…I know you probably don't believe a word I say to you any more…but…I want you to know Tilly….Nothing…and I mean Nothing happened between me and that women…..Not even so much as a hand shake…

Yes she's an ex…But…Years ago. I think I was like 17-18? She was Hayley friend…After what happened with you earlier that day I was a mess. I went for a drink. She was there…

Look….

Jen sighed Licking her lips. .her throat feeling dry…

She just needed somewhere to crash for the night. That's all I swear to you…

And your telling me this because? Tilly frowned…

Smmmmh…because you care….Jen muttered. And so do I Tilly….And the thought of you thinking that I could just pick some girl up and sleep with her upsets me…

I cant pretend I don't care anymore….After what happened at your place…Jen shook her head…the memory bringing tears to her eyes…

I was a mess Tilly…I hated leaving you like that…But you were so angry. What could I have done?

Tilly were going. Ester called out..

Jen rolled her eyes and sunk into her chair…Esther wasn't making this easy…

Tilly nodded over to Esther and looked back at Jen….You done?

Jen pinched the bridge of her nose in defeat….I guess….

Tilly got up of her chair…Good…She snapped as she walked away..

Tilly…Jen called out…She knew that this might be the last time her and Tilly see each other and she knew she had to say everything she needed….

As Tilly turnt round to face her…Jen felt brave….

I love you…..Jen said loud enough for Tilly to hear…I just wanted you to know….

Esther gave Jen a dirty look and dragged Tilly away….Before Tilly could react…

Jen sunk back into her chair and let her tears roll….

2 hours had past since Jen admitted her true feeling to Tilly…Tilly sat at the Bar in the loft kept replaying it and replaying it in her mind…

She kicked herself for walking away…

Maxine lent across the bar and whispered into Tillys ear…She's staying at mine tonight…

As Tilly shit her a confused look. Maxine smiled…Just saying…

Tilly couldn't work out how Maxine had read her mind. She jumped off her chair and followed Maxine down the stairs…

Maxine? What did you just say? Tilly called out over the music…

Jen….She's at Mine…I take it from her face and yours things haven't exactly worked out….Sometimes it takes a few tries. She winked…If you want to see her…she's at mine…

Tilly headed back to the bar and ordered another drink…C'mon Tillys..lets dance. Esther smiled. Its not often your home…C'mon…

Im not in the mood ..Tilly said trying not to sound annoyed that Esther was constantly hanging on to her…

Tills…Esther pouted…

Im probably gonna head off actually…she said stroking Esther's arm…

As she left Esther called out to her…You going to her aren't you?

Tilly stopped and took a moment before facing her friend…I cant help it Es…..

Esther shook her head and walked away…Tilly felt bad She knew Esther had feelings for her. But if she didn't feel the same there was nothing she could do…

Tilly left the club and went straight to Maxine's…She quietly knocked the door…

As Jen sit flicking through the TV. She checked her watch…Wondering who it would be….Maxine was no where near finished work…

Ad she opened the door her jaw dropped…Tilly?

Did you mean it? Tilly asked…

Jen pushed the door as if to invite Tilly in…

Tilly entered the flat with her arms folded….So? Did you? Or was it a spare of the moment thing?

I meant everything I said….And I promise you nothing happened between me and Jo….nothing…

Tilly nodded…I wish I could forget you sometimes…..She closed her eye….But the thought of you not existing …she shook her head…

Tilly….I know things are a mess….I know since we have met up again its been nothing but hard work,,,,I know this…..But…..You on my mind constantly…Even after everything that we have been through….your stood in front of me now….

Tilly walked over to Jen….There faces Just inches apart…Did you mean it when you said you love me?

Jen trying her hardest to control her breathing…Yeah I did….I do love you….And I cant do the whole friends thing. I cant be happy that you might move on and date someone else. I cant pretend I don't care…I…

Tilly didn't let her finish she slammed her lips on to Jens…Pressing hard wanting to feel Jen deeply she wraps her arms around Jens neck. I love you too. She whispers as she Kissed the brunette again. I love you so much. She says in between Kisses….

Jen gasps. The feel of Tilly on her was like electricity passing through her body…Wrapping her arms around Tillys waist she squeezes her tightly as she enters Tillys mouth with her tongue…

After weeks of pretending and years of fighting and wanting..Jen and Tilly finally gave in. Their love shined through and they had reached the mountain they had climbed…
