'You lied to me.' Gerry screamed as he turned and walked back to the car. She ran down the car and banged on the window.

'No I didn't.' she tried but he drove off. 'I just hadn't had the time to do it yet.' She whispered as she sat on the pavement.

'What was all that about babe?' Ben asked her.

'Do not call me that.' Sandra growled. 'It's over. Just go.'

'What's going on Sandra?'

'Well we just spilt up, so go!'

'You and him?' he questioned.

'Yes. Now you know the truth, I love him so off you go, it's over.' That was it, he went off without a fight, he knew Sandra by now, when she'd made a decision there was no way she was going to change her mind. She walked back into the house.

Gerry sat in the car just driving around for a bit; he had no idea what to do but now it was getting dark outside. Then he remembered he was now homeless, he thought of all the places he could go and could only come up with Brian's. So that's where he went.

Brian was a bit confused when Gerry appeared on his doorstep.

'Hello.' Brian greeted his friend as he opened the door.

'Hello mate, I have a huge favour to ask you.'

'Go on.' Prompted Brian.

'Is there anyway I can stay here tonight, Maggie and I have split up.'

'Of course, come in and tell me all about it.'

Once he'd walked in the door and sat down, it was obvious he had no desire to talk about what had happened but it was clear he was angry. Brian had kept trying to get it out of him but Esther had long since packed him off to bed.

'Thank you for tonight Esther, I think I'll be off to bed now.'

'Okay, you know where everything is if you need anything.'

'Yes thank you.'

He walked up the stairs and got into the spare bed, when he'd got in he heard his phone ring again from his trouser pockets. He wandered over to find Sandra ringing yet again, he pressed decline and his phone returned back to the home page where he saw 12 missed calls from Sandra, 3 unread texts and 6 voicemails. He didn't want to hear it though.

Sandra sat curled up in her bed, the tears falling down her face. This wasn't how the day was meant to have gone; she was supposed to be curled up next to Gerry and laughing, giggling and smiling with him. In reality though she was sat in bed with tears falling down her face as she tried to ring him yet again and yet again he didn't answer. She'd have done anything for him to just listen, for him to pick up the phone or reply for a text or knowing where he was so she could go tell him.

She'd sat up all night and so had Gerry, neither could sleep for the sadness they had about the previous night. He'd have to get in contact at some point though as he either had to turn up to work or tell her he wasn't coming in.

Sandra was surprised when she walked in to find both Gerry and Brian at work and it wasn't even 9 yet.

'Morning.' Sandra greeted them bluntly.

'Morning.' Brian answered cheerily.

'Gerry, a word please.'

'Go on then guv.' He replied just as bluntly if not even more so than Sandra had greeted them.

'In private.' He got up and unenthusiastically followed her into her office.

'We need to talk about last night.' She told him.

'Do you really think this is the right place or time? Anyway what makes you think I want to hear it.'

'No Gerry it's not the time or place, but we're going to have this chat as you wouldn't answer my calls. Also you're going to listen it because you got it wrong.'

'What did I get wrong? The fact I thought you loved me? The fact I thought you were going to dump Ben? No I didn't think so.'

'Shut up Gerry and listen. I do love you and yeah I have split up with Ben. It was just when you came I hadn't had the chance to do it yet. So there, now you know.'

'Oh, come her Sandra.' He told her as he pushed his chair out from under the desk and signalling for her to sit on his lap. Which she did, she leant down and they kissed until outside in the main office they heard a female shouting.
