The love between the two

A weight has been lifted.

MICHELLE'S POV:
I woke up with the mother of all headaches. I opened my eyes slowly and there was Carla, smiling at me. She's my rock.
"Hey Carla, I had a horrible dream last night."
"Yeah?"
"Yeah. The Police phoned you and told you that they couldn't find Steve's 'whereabouts' and then I couldn't breath."
She got up from the chair and sat by my side.
"That wasn't a dream darlin'."
"I know. I just wish it were."
"You do remember you're being discharged today? Babe I'm not letting you out of my sight. Don't you worry."
CARLA'S POV:
I made sure I'd packed everything into her bag and got her dressed. We got out of the hospital and finally got some fresh air.
"What if he's near Carla? I'm... I'm a little terrified!"
"Let's just go home darlin'. Just don't think about it yeah?"
Michelle turned and snapped.
"Don't think about it? I can do nothing but think about him watching me and plotting to try and rape me but succeed this time! So Carla. I can't not think about it okay!"
"Chelle, I'm sorry." I looked down to the ground and thought about what's she's going through. I kissed her on the forehead and got in the car.
I could hardly concentrate on the road. But I knew I had to because we'd only just got out of the hospital and we didn't need to go back again.
"I'm sorry I snapped Carla. It's just... Just it's really hard you know."
"Of course it is baby. I know how you feel. I went through the same thing with Frank remember?"
MICHELLE'S POV:
Liz wouldn't give up at ringing me. My ringtone just kept going off every minute.
"You know Chelle, I'm sick of hearing that ringtone I'll be hearing it in my sleep. Who's botherin' yer? Is it Steve?!"
"No. It's Liz."
"Answer it Chelle. She needs to know what's happening from your side of the story."
I picked up my phone and answered.
"Hello?"
"Chelle where are you darlin'? What's my boy done to yer? Is it true? I've had the police in here. But only yesterday I saw Steve leave in a hurry with his bags. I tried to chase after him but in these heels I couldn't even walk down the street let alone run!"
"He's left? Have you contacted the police?"
"Yeah I told them when they came looking for him yesterday."
"Liz I'll be at the pub in a moment. I'm just on my way back from the hospital."
"Alright love."
I told Carla everything as soon as I hung up. She was as terrified as I was!
We walked into the Rovers and it was empty. Apart from Liz, Carla, me and two police officers.
"Michelle Connor?"
"Yes?"
"We've tracked down Steve's whereabouts through his credit card payments. He's bought a ticket to America. You're no longer in any danger from him. He's left British soils and we'll be contacted as soon as he comes back... If he comes back."
"Alright thank you." Carla said as I was speechless and drowning in tears of joy.
