FRIDAY 5TH MARCH
(Disclaimer: this might have to be 2 parts due to how long this episode was-although I'm not complaining we've lacked so much Carla and Peter content I just hope that you enjoy ️)
Carla: I came by in the morning to see the man, I call my fiancé, gosh it's weird to say that but I suppose, in a way that is what he is but anyway he was sat doing his puzzle complaining to me I told him do a different one! It's not that hard. He was doing some Zebra puzzle oh I don't know something about Zebra's knowing each other cause of how their personality is.. Roy said that he saw Peter out and about early morning but when I mentioned it he got snappy with me so I just kept quiet.
I went by the factory to start a shift or so and I bumped into Nick, we got chatting and I was rambling on about Peter he made the terrible joke but I ignored it and apologised for how I just didn't ask him how he was. You know it's good for us to talk.. without the awkward we dated scenario phase. Nick then told me that he might've just been trying to clear his head and that I need to speak to him, he was right - I need to find out if he's still drinking or not either way I can't trust him at the minute. JUST as I came over to see him he went to bed so I decided I'd wait for him.. I can't leave him alone at the minute but then a knock at the door we can just tell who's there. His blonde haired, snobby, shouting, wheezing ex wife that's who my so called "friend". I answered the door and she was rambling on about seeing Peter with her tiny whiny voice, I tried to tell her he's asleep but she wouldn't have it kept shouting about how she was feeling.. Oh I know I shouldn't slag her off Peter but.. she does my nut in. Once she said it was about Simon it clicked I'm gonna have to sort this I can't have Peter stressing and I care way too much about Simon to see something happen nastily again.
I invited her in.. made her a cuppa, you know the usual and she told me all about this lad called Jacob? Some drugs thing Simon's got himself involved in my main priority was to keep Peter calm so when he came down from his sleep.. I had to just lie.
I explained how Simon was not doing so great.. settling back into College and how it was something me and Leanne can sort. He told me to tell him if there was any more worries but I was hesitant, going to have to though aren't I I told Leanne once Peter had gone to bed that to leave it all with me I'll think of something to sort it all.
A while later Peter came back down and we chatted whilst I was washing the dishes, expect a Peter remark.. but I told him that Simon will be fine. He said about getting a taxi to go see him.. I had to give him the seriously look. He told me he was gonna just walk but as he went to leave he stumbled. I just had to ask, has he been you know on the sauce? He flipped and shouted how he didn't.. I just needed to know.
Ooh sorry.. this is gonna take a couple of pages but hey, we agreed, this is what we gonna do.

Peter: Carla came to see me, you know before work and I was telling her about the puzzle. Did you know, Zebra's can only see each other by their personality's.. news to me! Anyway she said how Roy had seen me, you know walking about early this morning I just fancied a stroll but trust our Carla to make it the big deal. I came down from my nap maybe mid afternoon I knew Carla was there as I gave her one of my peck kisses she likes before I went up but Leanne was there and I could tell, somebody doesn't want me to know something but what? I asked them and Leanne said she needed to speak to me about Si which didnt sound good but Carla told me it was nothing for me to worry about. She told me Si was just falling behind in college but she'd help him catch up and I told her.. I really just can't take bad news but if there is something wrong with Simon I need to know no matter how hesitant she were to be about it. I went back to bed and left Carla to show Leanne where to leave. I came down to see Carla washing the dishes, CARLA!? Anyway she tried to explain and reassure me that Simon will be ok. I told her I'd go to see him, cause I don't think I can get a taxi there I best walk but I tripped a little and she accused me of drinking I kind of snapped and told her I'd be lying in bed wide awake and doing flipping zebra jigsaws to take my mind off it. I told her that I'm struggling, I don't need anymore stress just.. to hold her really close and for her to trust me.
