“You OK?” Steven asked as he rubbed his eyes sleepily as he walked into Beckie’s room as he heard her cry. “I am fine,” Beckie said as she looked at him. “No your not, don’t bullshit me,” Steven said gently as he sat next to her. “I am not,” Beckie said as she sighed. Just then their was a ring on the door.
“Penny where are you going?” Wayne asked as he ran down the stairs as he looked at her try and put her coat on. “Too see Frank,” Penny said as she got into her chair. “Its two in the morning, he will be asleep,” Wayne said as he shook his head, “and how are you going to get there?” Penny looked at him and smiled. “Don’t worry Wayne, just look after the kids for me,” Penny said as she wheeled herself out of the house.
“Jamie, what are you doing here?” Steven asked as he opened the door to him. “I am here to see if Beckie is OK,” Jamie said as he walked up the stairs. “She’s in the spare room,” Steven said as he followed him up the stairs. Jamie opened the door and smiled at her. “Hey Beckie, I’ve come to see if your OK,” Jamie said as he sat down on the bed. “Of course she’s not OK,” Steven said as he shook her head. “I am fine, I just want to kill Xabi… and don’t let that slapper near me,” Beckie said as she rolled over onto her side. “Oh Beckie,” Jamie said as he hugged her tightly. “No I am OK,” Beckie said as she wiped her eyes.
Penny knocked on Frank’s hotel room door, soaking wet and exhausted after pushing herself all the way from Wayne’s house to the hotel. “Penny, what are you doing here?” John asked as he opened the door. “I want to speak to Frank, is he OK?” Penny asked as she pushed her way in. “He is through here, he isn’t too good I warn you,” John said as he pushed her. “Frank…” Penny said as she put her hand on his shoulder. “What you doing here?” Frank asked as he grabbed his whiskey again.
“You didn’t know?” Beckie asked Jamie suddenly. “Of course I didn’t,” Jamie said as he looked at her, “I would of told you.” Beckie looked at Steven seriously: And what about you? Steven looked at her. “Beckie I wouldn’t of let you stay with him if I knew,” Steven said as he grabbed her hand. “You are just like him,” Beckie said as she looked at him. “What? How am I?” Steven asked as he looked at her defensively. “You’re a cheater too, how could you do it too your wife, my mate,” Beckie said as she looked at him.
“I came to see if your OK,” Penny said as she grabbed a glass and poured herself a drink. Frank knocked the glass out of her hand and looked at her. “Your pregnant, don’t,” Frank whispered as he stroked her hand where the glass was that cut her hand, “your hand, I am sorry.” Penny stroked his hand. “Don’t worry, I am used to the pain,” Penny said as she looked at him. “Penny, how did you cope? How did you forgive?” Frank asked suddenly. “Because quite simply I love Stevie, and if you love someone you forgive them for anything, even if they hurt you so badly, you don’t see the light at the end of the tunnel,” Penny said as tears filled her eyes. “I don’t know how you can, how can you forgive, you were pregnant twice,” Frank said as he looked at her.
“Because I am a prick,” Steven said seriously. “Yeah well I won’t correct you on that,” Beckie said as she looked at him seriously. “Beckie, I don’t agree with cheating, if I could turn back time I would,” Steven said seriously. “Well you can’t, if I was Penny I would thrown you in the dustbin, where cheaters belong,” Beckie said as she looked at him. “Thanks Beckie,” Steven said as he rolled his eyes. “Don’t men think about who there hurting?” Beckie asked not to anyone in particular. “Hey come on you need your sleep now,” Jamie said as he hugged her tightly. “I am not tired,” Beckie said as she looked at him.
“I know, but I love him,” Penny said as she looked at him. “What is love?” Frank asked as he sighed. “Love is when you think about them all the time, your heart misses a beat everytime you see them,” Penny said as she looked at Frank. “Your heart misses a beat when you see Stevie, you must be blind,” Frank said as he poured himself another drink. “Don’t be cheeky,” Penny said laughing, “he is gorgeous.” Frank snorted. “HOW COULD SHE DO IT TOO ME!” Frank suddenly shouted out as he threw his glass at the wall. “Come here,” Penny said as she put her arms around him and hugged him.
“If you love someone,” Jamie said as he gently stroked Beckie’s hair out of her eyes. “I don’t love him,” Beckie said defensively. “You do, and that’s why it is hurting,” Jamie said as he looked at her seriously. “I hate it when your right,” Beckie said as she looked at him. “Beckie, when Nicola was going to have an abortion I hated her, how could she kill my baby,” Jamie said as he looked at her. “I wish I could abort this baby, I don’t want a bit of Xabi growing in me, I want to cut it out,” Beckie said as she burst into tears. “No you don’t because this baby is apart of you, who you conceived in love,” Jamie said as he rubbed her bump. “You soft twat,” Beckie said as she looked at him and smiled. “Hey you not eating this,” Jamie said as he looked at the toast on the side. “Look at it, would you eat that?” Beckie asked as she looked at Jamie. “Stevie can’t cook, you should have his pasta, gross doesn’t even come close to describing it,” Jamie said laughing. “Jamie, stay with me,” Beckie said as she shut her eyes. “I wasn’t going anyway, I’ll look after you,” Jamie said as he put his head on her shoulder and shut his eyes.
