Episode 1 - Old Beginnings

 

Four months have passed. Four months since the night I tried to escape. Stepping out into the street, noticing my neighbours home was ablaze, I grabbed what was possibly my one and only chance of freedom. My one and only chance that left me found dead 12 hours later.

Going back 4 months, on a night when one death was encountered, an arson attack took place and a near suicide, it can now be said with ease that the night wasn't as explosive as sounds. My dear friend Lauren, who took upon herself the responsibility to go lurking in peoples houses, looking for answers, found herself trapped in a house ablaze with all blame pointed at her. She was safe, she ended up in hospital.


She was quick to cover her tracks, using information about the Smiths dark secret, she brought herself to depths she'd thought she'd never sink to- she blackmailed the Smiths. Quickly dropping the arson charges, the Smiths fled the street telling the police that Lauren was in no way connected to the fire because she "had been there all night to the Smiths knowledge and was in no way connected to the fire". She was a victim as much as them, or so it is to be believed according to them. Lauren soon recovered and returned to the street holding the valuable and dark secret of the Smiths.

Kerry and Dave, once the golden couple of Sim Street before they separated, have given their relationship another go and after 4 months, have regained each others love.

Considering Rik and his attempted suicide, it would be adequate to say that Lexi saved his life. On the night of the fire, the Sim Street residents were brought outside. Noticing Rik was missing, Lexi ventured into the pub and found him unconscious in a bath just seconds away from death. Using first aid skills though, she saved his life.... however, would it be for the better?

Going back to that night in May, I now look back seeing the mistake I made. Out in the street I grabbed my chance to escape from my violent husband.

I turned my back and walked back into my house and attempted to steal back the letters.

I realised my mistake when my husband re-entered the room. Telling me softly, yet in a chilling voice, he echoed 'Now we wouldn't want to do that', as he walked closer to me....

put his big, manly hands around my neck, looked me directly in the eye, pressed his thumbs against my windpipe and strangled me before throwing me down on the kitchen floor.

My husband of course, couldn't face what he had done and left the street that night in a hurry. He of course, hid the evidence against me as it could be used against him. For example, in my murder trial, which is exactly what is about to happen. My husband Mike, banged up in jail, awaiting trial for my murder.

And in the meantime, my twin sister Jess, known for possessing Stepford wife qualities, was called in to look after my son and daughter whom I had left behind.

But now the month is of September and the street I look down upon is a very different one to the one I left behind. A street where 3 girls still mourn the loss of a best friend, one resident is always watching their backs and one is engaged in a red hot affair. Sim Street has changed, and things aren't looking too hopeful...
