Claire lying on the floor, her head bleeding from when she collapsed

Lee: Claire, Claire speak to me.

Faye: Phone an ambulance now.

H phones the ambulance and a while later the ambulance arrives.

Paramedic: What happened?

H: She wasn't feeling well today then a few minutes ago she went into the bathroom and locked the door, then I heard this bang.

The paramedic puts Claire in the ambulance H gets in with her Faye and lee meet them at the hospital.

H: What's wrong with her?

Doctor: She's only just come in, give me time to check her out ok.

H: Ok.

Lee and Faye arrive.

Faye: What's happening?

H: I don't know.

Lee: I hope she's ok.

H: Its all my fault.

Lee: Its not.

H: It is, I knew Claire was this ill and I should have stayed with her.

Lee: It's not your fault.

Faye is standing against the wall with her hand against her stomach.

Lee: Faye are you ok?

Faye: Yeah.

Lee: Are you sure coz you don't look too good and you didn't look well when I came to get Claire either.

Faye: No its ok, but I think I'll get a check up from the doctor though.

5 minutes later the doctor enters.

Doctor: Mr Watkins?

H stands up.

H: Yeah that's me, what's wrong with Claire?

Doctor: Well.... would u like to come with me.

H looks at Faye and Lee then goes with the doctor.

Doctor: Claire has....

H: Claire has what? Please tell me.

Doctor: Ok well there isn't really much wrong with her at all.

H: There's not?

Doctor: No, she has a small chest infection and I have had to put a few stitches in her head. I think you should talk to her though.

H: About what?

Doctor: You'll see when you get there.

H leaves to see Claire.

H: Hi Claire.

Claire: Hi.

H: Are you ok?

Claire: Yeah.

H: I'm so sorry Claire, I should have stayed with you and if I knew this was going to happen I wouldn't have gone out with Lisa.

Claire: Its ok.

H goes and gives Claire a hug.

Claire: Ouch watch my head.

H: Oh sorry babe.

Claire: I'm sorry.

H: You haven't said or done anything wrong babe, now what is it you've got to tell me.

Claire: I'm Pregnant.

H looks at Claire but doesn't say anything, he gets up and leaves the room and Claire calls after him.

Claire: H?

Lee: What's wrong H?

H doesn't say anything.

Faye: I'm going to see Claire.

Faye goes into see Claire, she sees Claire crying and hugs her.

Faye: Claire what's wrong?

Claire: I...I told H that I was pregnant and he.... he just walked off.

Faye: Aww congratulations Claire.

Claire: Doesn't H want any children?

Faye: I'm sure he does.

Claire: Maybe he just doesn't want them with me.

Faye: I'm sure he's just shocked about it that's all Claire.

Claire: I wish he would talk to me though. Faye can I ask you something?

Faye: Of course babe.

Claire: Do you think there's something going on between H and Lisa?

Faye: No I don't, I know they are always together but I don't think something is going on.

Claire and Faye carry on talking H walks in they stop talking and look at H.

H: Look Claire I'm sorry for walking out.

Faye: YOUR SORRY! U REALLY HURT HER.

H: Calm down Faye it has nothing to do with you.

Faye: It has when you hurt my best friend, she's already been hurt once she doesn't deserve to be treated like this H.

H: She don't, please!

Faye: What's that supposed to mean?

H: The baby isn't mine is it Claire.

Silence.

H: CLAIRE.

Claire doesn't say anything she just looks out of the window.

H: That's right Claire, you won't answer me because you know I'm right and that the baby isn't mine.

Faye: Claire is this true?

Claire starts to cry and Faye hugs her. Claire has an upsetting flash back.


It was a cold and windy night and Claire was sitting in a pub with H and Lisa. H offers Lisa a lift home cause she is really drunk and Claire has one more drink before leaving.

On the way back to her house.

Man: Excuse me?

Claire: Yeah.

Man: Do you know where I can find Uxbridge train station?

Claire: Yeah its back that way about 15 minutes walk.

Man: Ok thanks.

The man walks away. Further down the road Claire realises he's following her.
Claire turns round and the man is gone she carries on walking, at this point she is really scared. Claire is about to turn down a street when the man grabs her and pulls her into an alleyway and shoves her on the floor.

Claire tries to scream but she's so scared no words come out of her mouth,
the man covers her mouth and forces himself onto her. After he's finished he kicks Claire and runs back up the alley. Claire manages to get up and stumble home. When H got back she was already in bed and he didn't notice anything was wrong.

End of flashback.

Tears continue to fall from Claire's eyes.
