Please remember.

2008

It had week since Carla had woken up and been let out, she, Michelle and Nick were sat in the flat.
"Michelle, can you tell me more now?" Carla asked, desperate to know what else has happened in her dramatic life. "Just tell me what happened in 2008 or something?" She persuaded.
"Okay. But, I must warn you, 2008 was a pretty busy year for you. And a painful one for all of us." Michelle began. Carla sat up in her seat "Are you sure you're ready to hear more?"
"I'm sure." Carla replied nodding her head. She did look pretty ready although her eyes told a different story.
"Well, you and Liam were running Underworld together and you met a man through business. His name was Tony Gordon." Michelle began. Carla's facial expression showed how she tried to remember, but she just couldn't. "Anyway, you and Tony became more than just business partners. You became a couple. You also became engaged to him." Michelle stopped for a second to let Carla process the information she was given. "Liam, at this point, was engaged to Maria. Do you remember her?" Michelle asked. Carla shook her head although the name rang a bell. "When you were with Tony, Liam became jealous of you two. He told you how he'd always loved you and you clearly felt the same. You began having an affair behind Tony and Maria's back. It went on for quite a while. But when I found out I was fumin'." Michelle continued. "So then, Liam decided to choose Maria and he married her. Maria and you did not get along as she saw how you were with him. Anyway, he clearly decided he couldn't live without you. He chose you in the end." Michelle added before Carla interrupted.
"Did he?" Carla wondered.
"Yep. He begged you to choose him the night before your Hen night. And you said no." Michelle reminded her. "You definitely did love him the most though, but you chose Tony." Carla looked to the floor.
"Where's Liam now?" Carla asked, wanting to see him. Michelle didn't answer her question she just carried on as she knew the answer was coming up anyway.
"Then, Liam went to Tony's stag the next evening." Michelle's voice began to crack as she had to bring up her other brother's death. Carla looked confused as she held Michelle's hand wondering why she was about to cry. Carla looked at Nick for him to explain but he just looked towards the floor.
"And when he wasn't looking, he stepped out onto the road in front of an oncoming car." Michelle tried to stop the tears from falling to keep strong for Carla, but it wasn't that easy. "It killed him. And that was also the night Maria went to tell him she's pregnant with his baby. But when she got there, she could only tell his dead body." Tears were racing down Michelle's face but she was crying silently. "You were utterly devastated. You were probably the most hurt by his accident. It turns out, Tony knew about your affair and he hired someone to kill him that night." She ended. Carla covered her mouth as she cried.
"It's my fault he's dead?! It's my fault!" Carla sobbed. Nick came over and hugged her. She didn't hesitate to move, she let him hold her.
"No darling it's not your fault, it's not. It's Tony's." Michelle reassured her.
"It's not your fault. Don't blame yourself for this." Nick said stroking her hair. He hated seeing her in this much pain. Carla carried on crying in Nick's arms as he planted kisses in her hair.
"Carla." Michelle continued. "You should know, you had no idea what Tony's plan was until after you married him."
"I married that son of a bitch?" Carla shouted.
"Shh, it's alright." Nick calmed her and stroked her hair gently, hoping not to catch her injury and hurt her.
"When you found out, you fled the street. No one knew where you had gone. You were gone for a while until you returned the next year. You had also divorced Tony." Michelle ended. "I think that's enough now." Michelle ended.
Nick wiped the fallen tears from Carla's cheeks and held her close. Carla dug her head into Nick's chest as she found out more of her dreadful past.

Later that night, Carla had learnt so much about her life. Nick and Michelle watched her from the kitchen area as she slept on the couch.
"Do you think she will ever remember?" Nick asked, taking a sip of his coffee.
"I think that, even if she doesn't, she'll fall in love with you. That love doesn't die, Nick. And It most definitely doesn't just, disappear." Michelle said to Nick as she looked at him.
"I hope so."
"So the question is, who's going to tell her about Frank? She needs to know." Michelle said and Nick nodded.
"I think you should, take her for a walk, and tell her. I'd tell her but she should hear it from you." Michelle said.
"Yeah, I will." Nick smiled sadly at Michelle. As Michelle went to say something, Carla began to wake up, they both turned and Carla sat up and held her head. Nick walked up to her, Michelle following behind.
"You ok?" He asked, sitting on the arm of the chair as Michelle sat next to her.
"Yeah," Carla said, getting her bearings.
"Sorry to say this, but I'm going to have to love you and leave you I'm afraid, have to get to work." Michelle said, and Carla nodded.
"If course, see you tomorrow, 'Chelle" Carla smiled, and with that Michelle was gone.
"How about we go for a walk?" Nick suggested.
"Erm, sure." Carla smiled, standing up and grabbing her coat.
