December 12th 2014
Neil had left the party and had taken Stevie straight to the station, he had told her that he would make things right for her and that the man wouldnt get away with what he had done. They had been nearly two hours sat in his office, Grace had just arrived and as they sat there she knew she was going to have to go over every detail, she would have to tell them what happened, she finally had to tell someone the whole truth, although she had told Jo of her ordeal she hadnt really opened up about it but here goes nothing. Grace smiled "Whenever you are ready Stevie?" Stevie smiled "You dont have to do this tonight.. my statement can wait.. its the christmas party" Neil sighed "Stevie... neither of us care about that... we both care about you.. and we are here for you.. and we want you to do this tonight". Stevie nodded "I need to tell Smithy before everyone finds out.. before you make an arrest". Neil nodded "Of course... we will pick him up tomorrow.. go and see Smithy in the morning and then we will get him". She smiled "Ok.. I dont really know where to start.." tears rolled so freely from her eyes "I begged him to stop".

The night came round quickly and the two men went out for a run while Stevie prepaired dinner for the three of them, she had spent the day trying to find a friend to invite round so there wasnt the three of them but after failing she decided to have an early night and leave the men to it. "...Sorry mate.. its just one of those things.." she heard Smithy say as they headed into the kitchen. Smithy moved over and pecked Stevies lips "Whats going on?" she asked. Smithy sighed "I have been called into work darlin'... Jo has had a problem in custody..". She sighed "How long will you be?" she asked and he smiled "It might be an all nighter.. Im sorry.. you can look after Greg for me though.. cant ya?" he asked. She nodded slightly and watched as Greg walked towards the living room "Cant you stay for dinner babe... go in after?" he shook his head "Sorry baby.. I will see you tomorrow". He kissed her lips before heading into the bedroom, she heard him changing before making his way into the living room "What time are you off tomorrow mate?" he asked. "About half eight... will you be back?" he asked. Smithy smiled "Probably not mate... take care and I will see you soon.." the men shook hands and Stevie smiled from the door way as Smithy headed over and pecked her lips "See you tomorrow baby... I love you" she nodded "Love you too" she grinned, watching him leave. She turned back to the man and smiled "The food wont be long..." Greg smirked "Im not really hungy love".
Stevie went into the kitchen and checked the dinner before back into the living room "Smithy.." she began "He will be gutted that he missed tonight with you". Greg nodded as he sat on the sofa "Me and Smithy... we go way back" she nodded "He has told me alot of stories". Greg laughed "He is a good friend of mine.. we had a lot of fun in the army.. the things we used to do.." he laughed "We even used to share women once apon a time" Stevie laughed nervously "Well that wont be happening any more Smithy is devoted". He nodded "He has said.. apperantly you are amazing". She smiled "I try.. I will do anything to make Smithy happy... he means the world to me... I am going to check the food again" she headed out and into the kitchen, she pulled her phone out and sent a text to Smithy, telling him she loved him. She checked the food before heading into the living room. "Ten minutes and it will be ready". He smirked as she moved to the arm chair in the corner of the room and sunk down "Like I said... Im not really hungry.. I have to work up an appettite" she smiled "Is that not what the run was for?" she asked. He rose to his feet "It didnt really work" he strolled purposley towards her and placed his hand to her check, she pulled back "What are you doing?" she asked and he smirked "Smithy never need no". She shook her head "Nothing is going to happen" she rose to her feet and he pushed her back onto the chair "Oh its happening sweetheart" he grabbed her legs and pulled her onto the floor. "No... NO.. Stop it Greg... I said NO" she shouted.
Sitting on the bed she sobbed, how could she not, she had bathed five times since the previous night but she could still feel him on her, his hands touching her, his weight holding her down, her screaming and crying until she realised no one was going to rescue her and she gave up, she had forced her eyes closed and thought of her husband. She could hear Greg moving around, he would be leaving soon and she couldnt rest until he was gone, she heard the bedroom door open and glanced to him, she wiped her tears and pushed herslf accross the bed, he walked over "Thanks for the sofa.. and last night darling.. see you soon" she glared at him, he leant towards her to kiss her check. She pulled back "You raped me". He pulled back and he nodded "Yeah I did Stevie... and there is nothing you can do about it... cause if you tell anyone I will make sure Smithy never believes another word you say.. you will lose everything.." he smiled before heading to the door "I have leave again in three months... let Smithy know we will catch up then". He left the room and the door banged shut some five minutes later.
The door banged again about half an hour later and she curled herself up in the covers, Smithy appeared in the door way and grinned at her "Hey darling... how are you today?" he asked as he kissed her cheek. She pushed up in the bed and smiled to him "I missed you" he grinned "I missed you too" she pulled him into a hug "I hate it when you do nights" he sighed "I am on them for the next few nights now... what with Neil being away". Stevie glanced down "Cant you get out of it?" she asked "Get Callum to cover?" he shook his head "Sorry babe... but we can make the most of now.." he placed his hand to her leg and went to move into her lips, she pulled back "I need a bath.." he smiled "Is that an invitation?" he asked "NO" she shouted and he sighed "Stevie... I am sorry about the nights shifts but it aint worth arguing about is it?" she shook her head "Just... leave me alone Smithy". He sighed "It makes it so worth coming home from work.. you being like this... what is your problem?" he asked "You" she shouted "You are my problem Smithy".

Stevie sighed glancing back to Neil and Grace "I left him two days later... I didnt have a choice.. I couldnt even bear for him to look at me". Grace moved next to her "We are going to get him for this Stevie... Greg wont get away with it.." Stevie sighed "But I have lost Smithy... he has taken the only important thing... the only person I have ever cared about.. and nothing will bring him back to me". Neil sighed "Do you want me to talk to Smithy... I can tell him for you?" she shook her head "I owe him that much" she replied. Grace pulled her into a hug "How have you kept this hidden for the past three months Stevie.. you could of told me". Stevie sighed "I know... Im sorry.. I just.. this has been so hard for me.. and I panicked.. I was so frightened". Grace sighed "I am always here... we both are" she glanced at Neil and Stevie nodded "Thank you... both of you.. I am going to go and see Smithy first thing... if you can just hold off until after that". Neil nodded "Of course" she smiled as she glanced at her watch, it was fast approaching 2am "I better go... it will be a big day tomorrow". Neil smiled "I will drop you home.. come on".
Knocking on the door the next morning she took a deep breath, she wasnt sure she could do this, how did she tell him what happened to her? The door opened and he sighed, stood in only jogging bottoms, her breath hitched "What do you want?" he asked and she gestured inside "Can I come in?" he shook his head "No I am busy". She frowned "Smithy.. this is important and I need to tell you now before everyone else finds out... and in case you have forgotten.. this is still my house too". He moved aside and she slipped into the hall way. "Let me guess.. my wishes have come true and you are leaving?" she shook her head "No.." noticing Anna-Marie behind him she sighed "Can we talk in private?" she asked and he glanced at her, Mickey and Callum now beside her, clearly having spent the night after the christmas party. "Its important.." she began "Then spit it out Stevie" he stressed. She nodded glancing over the three stood in the living room door way before back to him "I told you I cheated on you.." he shook his head "I dont need to hear this" he grabbed for the door and she shook her head "I didnt.." she began and he turned back to her "Not how you think anyway.. I wanted you to know before it becomes station gossip.." she gestured to the three "Which it will quite quickly" she paused and looked him straight in the eye. "I didnt cheat or have an affair.. it wasnt what you thought... I was raped Smithy" she glanced round the shocked faces and smiled, Anna-Marie walked to Smithy and placed her hand to his bare back. Stevie glanced over them all "So now you know" she smiled slightly before reaching for the door handle and letting herself outside and pulling it shut, she headed to her car, taking deep breaths, trying to recompose herself.
