Little Connor; Big lies (Coronation street)

Carla sighed to herself as she walked into the morgue. She felt sick to her stomach over the fact that it could be Harper's body under the sheet. She didn't know what to do. She ran her hand through her hair as the police officer looked to her and smiled "ready?" He asked as Carla sighed To herself and nodded. She watched as the white sheet was lifted as she looked down at the body and sighed. She closed her eyes and sighed "it's not her" she said as the officer looked to her and smiled "I'm sorry" he said as she nodded "just tried my daughter, she's vulnerable still" Carla said as she walked off and out of the room. Carla sighed to herself as she ran a hand through her hair. She couldn't explain just how relieved that she was that it wasn't Harper. She was thankful that it wasn't Harper body lying on the mental table but it made her want to find her daughter more than ever.

Carla walked out of the room and smiled as she saw Charlee who was sitting there. She looked to Charlee and smiled as Charlee stood up "well?" "It wasn't her" she said as Charlee sighed relieved and looked to her and sighed "we need to find her mum, we need to now more than ever. She had been gone for two weeks and we need to find her and bring her home" Charlee said as Carla looked to her and smiled "I know baby, we will find her and I promise you" Carla said as she hugged Charlee. Charlee looked to her and smiled "do you think that she is okay?" Charlee asked as Carla looked to her and smiled "I hope so, Harper is strong and you know it. You know what she is like" Carla said as Charlee looked to her and smiled.

Later that day, David walked through the street near the alley behind the houses as he saw an unconscious Harper. He rushed over to her and saw her past out, she had overdosed. He picked her up as he carried her into the house and lay her on the sofa. He walked over to her and smiled as he placed a hand on her head as she slurred under his touch "it's going to be okay" he said as she looked to him and smiled as he brushed her hair out of her face "where have you been everyone is worried about you" he said as she looked to him and smiled "I'm sorry" she said as he looked to her and smiled "it's okay, your home now besides everyone has been worried" he said as she looked to him and smiled.

Later that day, Carla walked into the house and sighed as she saw Harper "thanks for calling me" she said to David who nodded. She walked over and sat opposite Harper and smiled "you really are to worry of my life, are you okay" she asked as Harper looked to her and smiled "I guess so" she said as Carla looked to her and smiled "I know that your scared but I'm here and I can't loose you, not again. Your my daughter okay and I swear I'm going to be your mum and I won't let you down" Carla said as Harper looked to her and smiled. But could cakes keep her promise?
