"I better go.." Kyle said.. rubbing Carla's thigh as she began to sit up.

"Why don't you come back and stay tonight? Bring yourself an overnight bag.." she asked, with a smile as she fiddled with the buttons along his shirt.

"Are you sure? You don't think that's too soon" he asked, getting up.

"You've slept with me already it's not gonna much much difference except just this time you'll actually be able to remember it" she laughed, a tad nervous.

"Yeah ok, I'll be here about half 6" he kissed her a few times before excusing himself.

As she headed off upstairs to the bedroom, Peter walked past Kyle into the house, shutting the door and dropping his keys to the side.

Carla walked into her bedroom, taking in the smell of lavender petals she had piled into a bowl before sitting at her dressing table just as Peter let himself in.

"Peter-" she looked to him, slight shock yet secretly pleased to see him..

"Hey.. sorry the door was open I didn't think you'd mind and I just really need to say something to you" he said.

She turned to him, he had his thin white sweatshirt on, a pair of black denim jeans and his sneakers. He stuttered over his words a couple times, trying to think how was best to say he regretted everything

"C.. Carla, I love you" he blurted out, fiddling with his hands as she looked down before getting up and walking over to him.

"Peter.."

"Just let me finish.. listen, I'm sorry for shouting at you and for everything I did with you and Adam and for having a go when I can't blame you when I had a full blown affair but the thought of just not having you for good I can't handle it I need you I really do I was an idiot to think I could cope without you but I can't Carla please, I need you.. I love you and I promise you I'd do anything I could to get you back so please. Come back home.." his eyelids began to brim but he held them back.

She gently closed her eyes, Peter's lips onto hers as she instantly opened them, the pair of them sharing a few.. long kisses, gentle yet they could feel the worry and cautiousness of the other.

Carla's stomach flipped.. she knew this wasn't right, not now she's with Kyle but she could always hear what Roy said 'you can't help you fall in love with'.

Pulling from the kiss, her face dropping with a look into his eyes as he held his hands to cup her face. She held onto his hands, moving them down away from her.

"Look I know we both did wrong.. me with Adam.. you with Abi but Peter you need to focus on yourself, focus on the transplant. I'm not worth it" she looked up to him.

"You are worth it.. you and Simon are the only things that matter to me and I might not get this transplant I've got to make the most of all of this." He kept his hold, looking into the mist and pool of her bold eyes.

"No.. Peter stop" she said softly, trying to stop herself from caving into his words.. she knew she would hurt him all over again.

"It isn't too late.. we can just at least try" he softly kissed her.. knowing this would put more temptation her way, he couldn't see himself with anyone else.

"I'm toxic for you.. I hurt you, over and over" a tear brimmed from both of her eyelids as she kissed him back.

"Whenever we're with someone else.. it breaks down, when we're together it's amazing, we've just let it go lately but we can get that back." He wiped her tears and looked to her.

She couldn't help but kiss him, forcefully yet loving, the house was quiet.. you could hear a pin drop but the two of them stood in her bedroom.. yearning for the affection they'd lost.

Eventually being able to stop herself Carla pulled away, her forehead resting against his before grabbing his shirt and pulling at it with frustration.

"Hey.. calm down, it's okay" he said softly, taking hold of her hands.

"Why now? You could see I was with someone else!" She cried, her head mixed with a struggle of who to choose and where to go.. everything was just confusing.

"Because, I just suddenly realised I was making such a big mistake.. it's you I love Carla, you that I want to be with"

"You should go.. get home, the centre could call you any moment" she wiped her tears and looked at him.

"Are you gonna come back home with me?" He asked to which she gently shook her head, tears streaming as he gently nodded, reluctantly slowly walking out.

As the hours passed by.. the day turned to night, Kyle had turned up with his overnight bag and proceeded to get ready for bed, taking off his shoes and Men's fashion rings, placing them down onto his bedside table before sitting on the bed.

Carla stood, gazing out of the window.. a lot playing on her mind whilst watching life go on outside down those cobbles, her eyes scanning to Simon and Peter.

Walking side by side they chuckled and laughed as Carla bit her lip with nerves.

"Carla..?" Kyle asked, slight confusion at what she was looking at.

"Mm..?" She replied.

Peter looked up to her bedroom window, catching a glimpse of the beauty she is.. a gentle smile before walking away.

Carla gave him a gentle smile back, she didn't know how to feel.. turning to Kyle and smiling to him too she walked over running her fingers through his hair.

His hair was styled and looked the way Peter's does.. she just could not shift him off her mind no matter how damn hard she could even try.

(I just want to quickly clarify up that this story is all about is Peter worth fighting for hence Carla saying 'I've learnt.. a Barlow boy is worth fighting for' cause it's shows a struggle that Carla and Peter are going through.. they love each other but Carla worries she's toxic for Peter and Peter could be dying, I hope everyone understands that I'm trying to write the tough side to them as well as the soft 3)
