Jim rushed to June and grabbed her before she fell off the roof 'June stay with me' Jim begged
'Leave her' Marie shouted pointing the knife at him
'Marie don't be stupid' Jim replied as he walked towards Frank carrying June. He wasn't scared anymore; all he wanted to do was make sure June lived. Jim rushed past Jack and handed June to the doctors 'Don't let her die' Jim cried
Meanwhile on the roof Frank ran over to Marie and knocked the knife out of her hand 'Marie Graham I am arresting you for attempted murder, you do not have to say anything but anything you do say maybe given in evidence'
'He knew you know' Marie spat 'He's not all innocent'
'Shut up' Tony ordered as he took her away
Jim waited in the relative's room for news of June, she had been in surgery for 3 hours now. Jim paced the floor and then a doctor arrived 'Mr Carver'
'Yes'
'Miss Ackland has come through the surgery, we are hopeful for a full recovery'
'Can I see her?'
'Yes but please don't be too alarmed by all the machinery'
Jim followed the doctor to June's room. His eyes filled with tears as he so June lying motionless. She looked so pale, with tubes everywhere. He walked up to the bed and kissed her forehead, he then took hold of her hand and started talking to her.
The following day June still hadn't come round, Jim still sat by her side praying that she would open her eyes. Jack entered the room 'Jim how is she?' he asked
'No change, have you charged Marie?'
'Not yet yesterday the FME said she wasn't fit to be interviewed so Frank is going to do it today'
'I hope they throw away the key'
'Jim look' Jack smiled as he pointed to June, she was coming round
'June' Jim whispered
'Um' she stirred
'June your in St Hughes'
'What happened?'
'Marie stabbed you remember' Jim said
'Yes'
'I'll leave you to it' Jack smiled 'Nice to see you back with us June, the station will be relieved'
'Thanks' June said
Jack left and Jim squeezed her hand 'Are you alright?' June asked looking concerned
'Not a scratch on me thanks to you, June you shouldn't have done that for me, I nearly lost you because of your heroics'
'And if I hadn't I may have lost you and I couldn't bare that, it was hard enough seeing you marry someone else but at least you were still around, if she had hurt you I don't know what I would have done'
'June I am so sorry'
'What for?'
'For putting you through this, I was the one who got you involved in all this, if I hadn't introduced you to her and if I...'
'Jim you can think about what ifs all day long but it doesn't change the here and now' she smiled 'you didn't come back to see me that night'
'I did, it's just that you didn't see me. I came to your room and I saw you with Jack, I thought...'
'Oh you silly sod'
'June I love you so much and I know you told me to think about it but I didn't need to, I love you and nothing will change that' he cried
'Jim' June said as she squeezed his hand 'I love you too'
'June can we just go back to how we were before everything went wrong'
'What before I asked you to marry me, no Jim I don't think we can, I do love you but it will do neither of us any good going back'
'So what are you saying?' he asked looking worried 'Are you saying we can never get back together'
'No of course not, we just can't go back, we need to start again, learn to trust each other. You have hurt me badly Jim and however much I love you I can't just forget that.'
'But it will be different this time June, I will never hurt you again'
'I never thought you would hurt me the first time but you did, what happens if I say lets go back to how we were and then someone else comes alone like Marie, will you dump me again'
'No'
'You can't say that for sure, no one can'
'I won't June'
'Look Jim lets just take it slow and see what happens, I want this to work I really do, I want you more than anything but part of me is scared, scared of being hurt again'
'Ok we'll take it slowly, I am going to prove how much I love you June I promise'
'You don't need to' she smiled 'I know you love me'
Jim kissed her cheek 'Can't you do better than that?' June smiled
'I thought...'
'Well stop thinking and come here' she said as she put her hands on his face and kissed him slowly and passionately
'Oh I have missed you' Jim said
'Me too'
Meanwhile back at the station Frank and Liz had interviewed Marie. She had admitted to everything even being behind the attack on June. Frank charged her and she was taken to a cell. 'Well?' Jack asked
'I've charged her, she's admitted everything'
'Oh good'
'Well not really' Liz said
'What do you mean?'
'Well it's good that she's admitted everything but she has made a serious allegation of her own'
'What?'
Liz filled Jack in on the allegation and Jack couldn't believe it. Frank and Liz went to the hospital to see Jim and June. 'Frank hi' Jim smiled
'Jim'
'Me and June have got back together, isn't it great' Jim beamed
'That's wonderful news'
'Frank what's wrong?' June asked knowing from the tone of his voice something wasn't right
'I am sorry Jim but I have to ask you to accompany us to the station'
