"An affair!" Michelle exclaimed.
"Chelle-"
"Carla!" Michelle shouted trying to stop her friend storming out the room.
"Not now Michelle," Carla muttered pushing her away.
"An affair?!" Michelle questioned.
"I'm gonna kill her!" Carla raged as Michelle attempted to face her.
"Who?"
"Tina Mcintyre, I'm gonna kill her!" Carla cried as the pub went silent in shock.
"What our Tina?!" Michelle exclaimed.
"No not our Tina, Michelle," Carla spat turning around to face Peter lying on the floor in the back, pointing at him, "His Tina! His Tina!"
"Well I don't fancy Tina's chances against Carla," Sean mumbled as Carla continued to struggle with Michelle.
"Guess when it started, ey," Carla raged, "The wedding!"
"Listen, listen you have got to calm down!" Michelle shouted over her friend.
"I am completely calm Michelle, but I swear to God I'm gonna kill her!" Carla shouted fighting against Michelle and storming out of the pub, Michelle and Lia close behind her.
"Don't try and stop me Michelle, or don't tell me you wouldn't do the same!" Carla shouted turning round to face her daughter and friend.
"I know but it's just gonna make it worse, she's a stupid kid she doesn't know any better!" Michelle exclaimed.
Carla took a deep breathe wiping the tears from her eyes before they fell, "Lia go inside."
"Mum, I need to tell you before you hear it from Peter," Lia stated as she looked between Michelle and Carla, "I knew about the affair."
"What!?" Carla questioned her face dropping.
"I didn't want to tell you and stress you out he promised he would stop!" Lia stressed.
"I need to go," Carla muttered.
"Carla!" Michelle shouted after her gaining no response, "Don't do anything stupid!"
"Oh why break the habit of a lifetime!" Carla shouted back her heels clattering along the cobbles.
"What's going on?" Rob asked walking out of the Barlow's house.
"Peter told mum," Lia said, "Him and Tina, they'd planned to run off the Portsmouth."
"You knew as well!" Michelle questioned raising her eyebrows.
"I was trying to protect Carla!" Rob emphasised.
"I need a drink," Michelle breathed pushing the Rover's doors and walking behind the bar.
Michelle grabbed a bottle of wine and stalked through to the back room as Lia and Rob followed.
"Are you out of your flaming mind!" Michelle exclaimed walking into the room as the door swung open.
Peter ignored Michelle and looked past her to Lia, "Lia, I'm sorry you weren't meant to find out this way."
"This way! This way!" The girl raged, "How did you want me to find out Peter, what when you and Tina had drove off into the sunset leaving mum to fend for herself but this time with a baby!"
"It wasn't like that!" Peter defended, "Tina really didn't want to upset you or your mum and I didn't especially."
"What so when you kissed her at the wedding you both made a little deal then," Lia spat before beginning to mock Peter, "Tina, I know I've just got married to Carla but neither of us want to hurt her so lets have an affair but not tell her."
"Lia please just let me explain," Peter began.
"Forget it!" Lia exclaimed turning around and storming out.
"Lia where are you going!" Michelle shouted chasing her out into the bar.
"Away from that piece of scum!" Lia cried before pushing through the door leaving it swinging behind her.
"Michelle!" Liz shouted from the back.
Michelle turned around to see Rob on top of Peter punching him simultaneously as Steve tried to break it up.
"Rob!" Michelle shouted running into the back and pulling him up with the help of Steve, "Get off him!"
"Why should I, after what he's done to Carla," Rob spat.
"But we don't need you making anything any worse right now," Michelle huffed as Rob put his hand on his head.
Michelle turned around to Peter who was laying helplessly on the floor before exclaiming, "And what are you still doing here!"
"Michelle let me wait until Carla gets back," Peter begged.
Michelle glared at him in disgust before scoffing, "Get out Peter!"
Peter clambered off the floor took a last look at Steve before leaving out the back door.
"Where's Lia is she alright?" Rob asked.
"I don't know we need to find her and Carla before anything happens," Michelle sighed.
"You look for Carla, I'll look for Lia," Rob explained as Michelle nodded.
"Steve will you look out either of them coming back," Michelle asked.
"Yeah of course, I'll call you if they turn up," Steve gave her a small smile which she returned.
"Right come on then," Michelle turned to Rob, "And do me a favour, Rob, if you see Peter. You don't touch him."
"Scouts honour," Rob mumbled as they both walked out the pub doors silence descending as they walked through, the doors swung as they walked through.
Half an hour had passed when sirens flooded the street attracting the attention of everyone. People piled out the Rovers flocking to the scene to discover what had happened. The noise caught the attention of Michelle and Carla as they went to see what was going on.
"Oh my god what's happened!" Michelle exclaimed.
"It's Tina McIntyre," Mary informed
Carla stared at the back of the ambulance fear blasting into her eyes as the people around her started to whisper, all transfixed with the young woman laying on stretcher on the cobbles, the paramedic squeezing the oxygen bag every few seconds. Rob ran around the corner next closely followed by Tracy.
"What's happened?!" Rob asked.
"Nobody knows apparently Leanne rang the ambulance, she was lying on the ground," Chesney informed.
"Apparently she'd been servery hit before hand," Norris gossiped, "Doesn't take a genius to work it out if you ask me."
"What's that supposed to mean then?" Carla snapped out of her trance.
"Oh nothing, nothing," Norris shook his head wandering a little further away.
"Pregnancy hormones hitting you already," Tracy mused a small smirk on her face.
"Shut up Tracy," Michelle huffed wrapping her arm around Carla's shoulders.
Rob moved past Carla and Michelle and pulled Tracy to the side, "It's your idiot brothers fault."
"What do you mean?" Tracy asked.
"He's been having an affair with Tina," Rob muttered.
"No!" Tracey exclaimed, "Wow!"
"Alright Tracy, keep it down, try not to sound too pleased," Rob rolled his eyes before his attention was drawn to a shout.
"Mum!" Lia shouted sneaking around the tape coming out of Roy's.
"Lia! Where've you been!" Carla asked.
"I went off in a mood and then Roy saw me so I went and sat with him," Lia explained hugging her mum as Carla hugged her back.
Carla looked up to see Roy standing on the door step, she gave him a quick smile of thanks which he returned before walking back inside.
"Carla!" A shout attracted everyone's attention as Peter came running towards her and then attempting to run past her after seeing the women lying next to the ambulance, "What have you done!"
"Me!" Carla shouted at him.
"What have you done to her!" Peter shouted back.
"What's up Peter, someone's hurt your little mistress," Michelle spat.
"Chelle," Rob whispered holding her shoulder..
"Come on darling come back to the pub," Michelle turned to Carla as she nodded and began to walk along to the pub her daughter's head resting on her shoulders, Michelle and Rob close behind them.
