Hello!
Thank you so much to 'Amber French Chambers' for your last reviews, reviews just motivate me so much to keep going
Ahh not long until September 26th now when David will return (so excited)
Enjoy,

"Told you I'd be back Wicks"
David felt his body tense up as he lost his breath in shock, "Listen I…"
"Shut it" Harry grunted as he began to drag him by the collar
David shook free off him, quickly sprinting away into the alley way near Carol's house, as his breath began to slow down from the rapid speed it was at previously, when he thought Harry had lost sight of him, he heard footsteps approaching him from the opposite side of the alley, he froze as he saw Steven's anger filled face.
As he tried to run out the other side of the alley way, Harry blocked his way "You can't run this time Wicks, after we're done with you, you'll never be able to run at all" he sniggered
Masood made his way over to the café to see Carol
"Hi Mas…" Carol said noticing him come in out of the corner of her eye whilst she was busily working
"Sorry you're busy…" Masood began to say
"It's fine" Carol insisted "What it is it?"
"I was just wondering if you wanted to go out tonight whilst last night didn't go to plan" He asked her
"Yeah, that would be great" she smiled, she felt as though she really needed a night out with looking after the kids all the time whilst Bianca was away and to keep her mind off David "I finish my shift in a few minutes so I'll nip home and get ready"
"Great I'll come round in an hour or so" Masood smiled
"Oh wait" Carol remembered "Whitney said she's going to work for a few hours when I get back"
"Well I'll keep an eye on the kids whilst you get ready and we'll go out when Whitney gets back" Masood suggested
Carol smiled, Masood always made things so easy and was so helpful, she just needed to get David out of her head again.
"Sounds great" Carol smiled taking off her apron as Lucy came into the café "Come on then" she said to Masood"
In the meantime David had already received a severe beating from both Harry and Steven and began to double over on the floor in pain pleading them to stop "I'm…" he tried to talk but a rush of pain just came over him
"You take my money" Steven said giving him a hard kick in the ribs "You try and take my wife" He said angrily giving him another kick
David could briefly see out of the corner of the alley and on to the street where Carol and Masood where walking to her house "Car..." David desperately tried to call out to her but was interrupted by another sharp jab in the chest
"Now that was a stupid thing to do" Steven threatened
As Carol and Masood entered the house, Whitney ran off to work.
"Can you help me with this maths" Liam asked Masood
"Sure, let's have a look" Masood said as he took off his coat
"Then can we make hot chocolate?" Morgan asked
Carol laughed at the kids bombarding Masood "Enjoy" she joked as she went upstairs to get ready
Once Steven and Harry had cleared off leaving David for dead, David could hardly move, he cried out in pain as he slowly, yet painfully, got himself up. As he began to try and walk, waves of pain constantly struck him yet he carried on walking, his eyes concentrating on Carol's house as he tried to get himself to some sort of safety.
By this time Carol was nearly ready and was just finishing off her hair as Tiffany sat on her bed "Are you in love with Masood gran?"
Carol laughed at her, ignoring her question
"Well, do you?" She persisted "You know like I love Bobby"
"I thought your mum didn't like you playing with him Tiff" Carol said fixing her hair
"I'm not a kid!" Tiffany insisted
"No you're like a little old woman" Carol laughed at her "Always gossiping"
"You've still not answered my question" Tiffany sighed
"When you get to my age Tiff, you don't really know what love is anymore" Carol said truthfully, she didn't know if what she felt was love or not, she was in some ways afraid of letting herself love
"You loved granddad though didn't you?" Tiffany asked her
Meanwhile David had made his way to the gate of Carol's house and was clutching his side in pain, as his legs fell from underneath him he began to crawl as best he could to touching distance of the house
"What's with all the questions tonight" Carol smiled shaking her head at her
"I was just…" Tiffany began to say but then stopped as she heard a loud bang on the door "Who's knocking on the door so hard
"I'll go and see" Carol said getting up and making her way downstairs
"Carol!" David breathlessly cried out as he banged on the door
As Carol opened the door, her whole body went cold in shock as saw David doubled over in pain on the floor covered in blood, cuts and bruises "Oh god…"
David let out a sigh of relief as he saw Carol
"What the hells happened?" Carol said shaken
Tiffany gasped at the sight of her granddad and rushed into the living room to Masood "Granddad's hurt!"
Masood raised his eyebrow confused and went to see what was going on
"Could you help me" Carol asked him as she tried to help David up
Masood automatically helped her get David into the living room and then looked towards the scared looking kids "Come on kids, why don't we go out for a walk"
Carol looked at David; she couldn't stand seeing him look so weak and fragile, she couldn't turn her back on him now, no matter how much she wished she could just forget about him.
"We're going to need to get you to the hospital" Carol said to him
David sighed "I don't want to be going to a hospital"
"David look at yourself, you can't even walk!" Carol persisted "I think we should phone the police as well! Do you know who did this?"
"I don't want the police involved!" he said "No hospital, no police"
Carol shook her head at him "What have you got yourself into this time David…"
"You don't want to know" he sighed
