I was really disappointed in the way Hollyoaks ended our beloved Jelly so have decided to write my own Ending…Lets keep Jelly alive xxx
After Jens world came crashing down around her…she found herself waking up in a police cell all alone…Scared about what was about to happen to her….How would she cope having to listen as someone tells her that her and Tillys relationship was wrong…How she was a predator and Tilly her victim.?…
How she abused her position of trust.. How she was the adult and Tilly a child….Jen felt tears roll down her cheek…The last week or so have haunted her….She regretted getting Tilly expelled…she hated herself for not helping Esther…But more then anything she hated what she saw when she looked in the mirror. .Where had Jen gone? Who was this person staring back at her….
Jen shuddered as she tried to get these thought out of her mind…..Soon she would be interviewed about Tilly….She knew they would ask person questions about their relationship….They would want to know intimate things….Jen could feel her chest getting tighter and tighter…
The thought of gong to prison terrified her….She would be sent away for falling in love…People will look down on her….Make things out to be dirty and disgusting when Infact their love was pure and beautiful….
Jens eyes widened as her cell door opened…Miss Gilmore? A stern faced police officer said standing over her…Follow me please…
Jen was confused…where am I going?
.Your free to leave….Was all the police man said
Jen frowned she thought she heard wrong….Excuse me?….
You heard me….C'mon I don't have all day…The officer said…
Jen did as she was told and followed him to the front desk…..
Here are your belongings…He said…sign this form and you can get on your way….
Jen shook her head…I don't get it? She swallowed….
Well its simple Miss…If no charges have been brought upon you then there is no case….The police officer explained…Now if I were you I would get out of here…. Instead of asking questions…you solicitor will explain everything
Jen left the station in a cloud of confusion…As she made her way out she was met by Liam sat on the wall…
Sis…he called out as he hugged her….You ok?..I've been worried sick. They wouldn't tell me anything…
That makes two of us then…Jen replied pulling away from him….I still don't really know what's happening….
This is such a mess Liam? Jen sulked…
You don't need to tell me. Liam said…Jen what ever possessed you?…I mean how long has this been going on? Did you even end it?
What? Yes…Jen snapped…Things did end in the summer…But….Well something happened…Last week..
Jen your crazy. I mean you know how stupid this is…the consequences…Liam moaned..
Jen just sat with her eyes closed…I know I've messed up Liam…I just….Jen shakes her head. .I don't know ..I just couldn't help it….
Jen paused for a moment to again control of her emotions….I love her Liam….
Liam could see Jen was already beating herself up…he didn't want to upset her more by going on about how stupid she had been…
What am I gonna do now? Jen sniffed wiping her eyes…
Well I tell you what your not doing. Liam said. And that's going back to Diane's…She wants you out…
Jen laughed a little…Well Im not expecting her to let me continue living there am I?
Yeah well lucky for you I've arranged for us to stay with Maxine…Liam told her…
What ? Jen gasped…No way Liam…I cant go back to the village…Everyone's probably talking about me…
Not probably. Liam said…They are….But fortunately for you…Max isn't one of them….C'mon we can stay there till we know what we're gonna do….
We? Jen frowned…
Well im not about to abandon you am I?…Liam smiled…
As they headed off…Jen began to worry…Shit Liam what am I gonna do about my things? Diane's probably burning it all as we speak….
Hardly…Liam laughed….Anyways you don't have to worry…I've packed it all…its in the boot of your car….
Jen bit her lip…leaving the same way I came….
Liam placed his arm around his sister….It will be ok…..C'mon….
Tilly headed in to the Dog to meet Esther…People were staring but Tilly held her nerve and didn't show it bothered her…
Hey….Esther smiled….Drink?
Tilly smiled at her friend then shook her head….Do you mind if we get out of here?…Im not in the mood for the stares…
Esther looked around and noticed a few customers were staring and whispering in Tillys direction..
Well we can go upstairs….Im babysitting Oscar while Nancy and Darren are at Toms parents evening…
Tilly nodded and followed Esther out of the bar..
Once they were upstairs in the flat Esther checked on Oscar then sat next to Tilly on the sofa…
The two had become close again…Tilly still held a lot of guilt that she wasn't there for her when she needs her friends the most…
So how did you get on with the police…Esther asked…
Tilly dropped her head and fiddled with her hands….Oh you know….
Esther shook her head…No….that's why im asking…
Tilly swallowed hard and began to fidget….I didn't make the statement…She whispered…
Esther didn't hear her….You what?
Tilly rolled her eyes.. and cleared her throat….I didn't make a statement…I couldn't..
Esther sat up right" ..What ? What do you mean you couldn't make a statement….Tilly do you not remember what she's done to you?
I know.! .Tilly snapped…You don't understand Esther….I wish you did. .but you couldn't…
I understand she doesn't give a crap about you….I understand she was willing for you to lose out on an education to save her own career…Esther was angry…Jen had caused Tilly so much pain and yet Tilly was still defending her…
She's a bitch..Tilly…Esther added…
You don't know her…Tilly snapped…
Seeing Esther startled at Tillys outburst..
Look Esther I didn't mean to shout at you…but…You really don't know her…Not the real her…And I know she's hurt me….I know she would have let me drowned to keep her head above water…But…..I cant let her go to Jail…Not for me…Not over us
She deserves it…Esther sulked..
No…Tilly said shaking her head….She deserves everything I did to her…Outing her to the Collage and to Diane…Losing her Career..….But jail? Tilly shook her head and walked towards the window….
Esther….Jen and I had something special…It wasn't a fling or a bit of fun…Its was real….It wasnt wrong…or disgusting…She didn't groom me. .or take advantage…If anything it was me….It was me that wouldn't let up…me that harassed her…me that pushed it….She fought it for as long as she could…In the end the attraction was to strong….
Esther hated hearing Tilly talk about Jen like this…deep down she had always had feelings for Tilly….she had hoped something more would have developed between them now that Maddie was out the way…
Tilly…She played games with you…She messed with your head…Your 18..shes in her 20s…And she was your Teacher …In the eyes of the Law she's in the wrong so she should be punished…Esther protested…
Punished for what? Tilly asked…For falling in love with me? How can I let her go to jail for that?
As much as I hate myself for feeling it….As much as I want to hate her…I cant…I love her Esther…
Those words made a knot in Esther's stomach…why does Jen get to have Tillys heart when all she's ever done is hurt her…treat her badly…pick her up and drop her when it suited…
Well I think your crazy…Esther told her…She's got away with everything she's done to you….And now she gets to head of and start a new life away from here and you have to put up with the whispers and stares….
Let them whisper and stare…Tilly said…They will soon find something else to gossip about…
Once Jen had rushed through the village into Maxine's flat she sighed with relief. She had made her way there without seeing anyone she knew….
Maxine came out of her room…Hiya…
Alright Max…Listen we really appreciate you letting us stay…don't we Jen? Liam said..
Jen nodded.. she felt slightly embarrassed. She didn't actually know Maxine..
Its fine…Maxine smiled…stay as long as you need…And Jen….Just so you know…I don't judge..
Jen forced a smile…Thank you …she whispered…
Maxine showed them both where they could sleep and left them to settle in….
Liam I cant stay here….Jen panicked…I cant be here….
Jen calm down. .Liam said softly…It will be ok…we can stay tonight and decide where to go from here….
Jen agreed reluctantly and went to lie down…While Jen was asleep…Liam popped out to let Tony know he would no longer need his job…
As he walked across the village he also was met with stares…However unlike Tilly he wasn't about to let it go over his head…
2 Women stood by the Deli whispering…
Im sorry…Liam shouted out…Do you have something you'd like to say?…Just as he was about to get angry he felt a pair of hands on his shoulders..
C'mon mate calm down aye…They aint worth it….It was Dodger….He and Liam had become good friends ….Let them talk….
Im fine Dodge. .Liam said shrugging Dodger off him…
No your not…Dodger argued. .C'mon lets go for a drink. .yeah…
As Liam and Dodger headed into the pub Tilly was walking out…
Here she is…Liam shouted as he started to clap…Happy are you?
Leave it…Mate|" . Dodger urged him…
Liam completely ignored his friend….
I warned you to stay away….Didn't I…But noooooooooooooooooo ….You just kept pushing and pushing didn't you….
Tilly tried her best to ignore him but. .Liam was in no mood to let it go…
Make you feel good does it Tilly huh? To know you've destroyed her…
Tilly stopped in her tracks and turnt to face him…..Destroyed her? Tilly shouted…Do you have any idea what she's done to me?
She isn't innocent Liam. So don't you dare blame me for all this…
She could of gone to prison because of you… you stupid cow…Liam spat.,..
And if it wasn't for me she would be…Its me who isn't press charges…Its me who refused to make a statement ..so before you start attacking me in the street you might want to remember that….Tilly argued as she walked off….
Liam was a little taken back at Tillys revelation…he hadn't realised Tilly was the reason Jen was asleep at Maxine's instead of a police cell….Even though Tilly had in some ways saved Jen ..Liam wasn't about to be thankful…Dodger dragged him inside before he could argue with Tilly even more…
Once Liam had arrived back at the flat Jen was making a Coffee…
You ok? She smiled..
Liam nodded…I saw Tilly…
Jen's heart sunk at the mention of her name. then fear took over…Oh god Liam…please tell me you didn't..
Yep..Liam interrupted…
Jen closed her eyes and sighed…Liam…why….
What so she causes all this trouble and I have to stay quiet…I don't think so…
Liam…Jen tutted..She didn't do this….We did….me and her…you cant blame her for all that's happened..I played a pretty big part…In fact I'd say I had the lead role…
I don't care….Liam shook his head….Anyways I found out why they let you go this morning….
She didn't press charges…
What? Jen asked shocked…
Yep…Tilly….she wouldn't make a statement…Refused to press charges…Liam explained…
Jen wasn't sure what to think or feel about what Liam had told her…why didn't Tilly finish the job? What made her defend Jen after everything that had happened…
Did she still love Jen?
Jen felt confused…She had seen the anger and hatred in Tillys eyes the day she slapped her in the Art room …How mad she was at Jen when she walked in on Jen and Esther's little spat at the Dog…
What made Tilly have a change of heart..? Jen yearned to know….she even contemplated texting Tilly to find out…But her subconscious stopped her
Don't be an idiot Jen…she told herself…It was time for Jen to except she had lost Tilly and move on….She had made the decision to move back to London….
As far a way from Tilly as possible.. That way she wouldn't be tempted to contact her….That way she wouldn't have to bump into her and be reminded of what she thrown away….
As soon as Morning came Jen was driving away from Hollyoaks and she wasn't going to look back…..
