This fanfic's certainly a different take on Galex, iI wanted to change them a little within this fanfic, have them already in a relationship but with constant troubles and one of them dealing with consequences after having made a mistake.

Should I stay or Should I go?

Chapter 1

Some certain truths could be considered as turning out to be untruthful or just perhaps as foolish manly banter, however it had been meant to be thought more of as a provocative fib after Gene Hunt had happily notified his respected Fenchurch East detectives a few days earlier that if they maintained their one hundred percent work record of unscrambling clues in any criminal investigation and eventually solve the cases, that he would promise to treat them everyone individually to one wonderful day out in Brighton in June or to a special weekend out up north in Manchester.

At this time his relationship with Alex wasn't go swimmingly well, he even began to acknowledge the horrible feeling that they were becoming distant from each other and becoming inevitable that nothing could be done to patch up their always troubled relationship, he wondered whether he was responsible for this . He feared Alex hadn't exactly been truthful with him over the last month as she stayed away from him and this made him feel more or less suspicious that she might be hiding secrets from him.

What Gene hadn't genuinely known, he was in fact right but still completely unaware about his girlfriend's reasons for keeping her noticeable distance away from him. She felt utterly ashamed and regretful over the bad thing she'd done and worryingly she couldn't manage to one look at him because it painfully hurt her own feelings as well . Alex had shamelessly shared a kiss with someone else in a packed nightclub but it wasn't a man, it was another woman, a business woman named Kimberly who she had previously met while investigating a crime that Fenchurch East had been biting their fingernails on hopefully completing. After the investigation had effectively been taken care of thanks to Gene's usual gut instincts which had proven him to be right. The two women had slowly grown close together after sharing wide-ranging details about their previous disastrous marriages and a few shamefaced former boyfriends, who were mainly most Kim's exs. One Friday night, around four weeks ago, to take their minds off things Kim had organized a girls night out clubbing in Fenchurch High Street, this suggestion was met with approval by Alex. Shaz hadn't been able to go with them as her and Chris were staying at home.

As they attended one nightclub, while standing and pondering at the counter, Alex felt incredibly lonely without Gene being there, standing or sitting alongside her. She wondered why or how their relationship was clearly on the rocks and had their problems perhaps escalated further back than she first expected, either work was to blame for leaving Gene feeling more under pressure or the week before when during a hostage negotiation she desperately tried to save a younger girl who resembled Molly and ignored Gene's order to stay back, she knew he was only looking out for her best interests at heart as he always preferred on doing so.

"Kim I'm at a loss, going over in my mind on why Gene isn't exactly becoming honest with me. I've never been able to tell anyone this but the girl I saved the other week, she looked like and resembled my daughter Molly, same eyes, same fringe and same ears. Gene thought I was losing my mind when I told him. It just feels like the last time we argued in his office back at the station. Bitterly accusing me of lying" Alex shared her most deepest feelings with her new friend. She fought back the tears as she spoke and then pondered more hushed feelings.

"Let's forget about Gene tonight Alex, to you that man's name is absolutely foreign and now I feel its my duty to make you and me have a good time" Kim persuaded Alex to leave her feelings for the time being and let her hair down like everyone in the nightclub were all doing.

"Okay Kim I'll try" Alex smiled slightly as she drank her cocktail drink in one go, she now acknowledged that perhaps Kim was right.

"You see Alex this is the spirit, dancing like there's no tomorrow, flirting lightly with any gorgeous bloke in sight." Kim encouraged her to give it a try, she wasn't trying to get her into more trouble but she felt she was cheering up Alex successfully at the moment.

Alex gave Kim's encouraging words a try as she went to join the partygoers on the dancefloor and managed to match her dance movements perfectly in time to New Romantics music presently blasting from the stereo however just as she was about to chat up a tall male muscular partygoer, she reconsidered and quickly turned away, rushing off as fast as she possibly could. The male ran after her and grabbed her by the left shoulder. "Hey where you going baby, you looked like you'd been checking me out"

Alex constantly tried to push him away but failed everytime she tried, he dragged her outside and tried to kiss her lips fiercely. "Get your hands off me" She then tried kicking him in the groin yet still he was too strong for her. How she kept wishing Gene was there to rescue her and then kick the shit out of this nuisance man. Kim thankfully came to her rescue and whacked the man with her leather handbag, trying to get him away from Alex.

"Come here big boy, wanna pick on someone, I suggest you pick on me" Kim madly shouted at him, she's managed to grab his attention. "You leave her alone or I'll get my brothers back there in the nightclub to beat you up" She warned, looking daggers at him.

"You're not even worth it love" The man drunkly walked away from them.

Kim checked on Alex, to see whether she had any scratches or bruises on her legs or hands or shoulders. She helped Alex up off the cobblestoned pavement and walked her over to the nearest bus stop. "Look maybe we shouldn't have gone out tonight, it was my mistake. Alex you certainly look shaken up, you sure you don't want to call Gene or Ray" she couldn't stop worrying about her and felt she should take the blame and thought Alex ought to be spending the evening with her proper friends.

"Where's your house? Kim" Alex curiously asked her, as she placed her hand gently across the back of her achy shoulder. Alex blamed herself as well, for her the emotions she felt at this moment in time were nothing more than demonstrative. This had been a night of surprises where she had discovered unspeakable feelings, feeling as though she truly belonged permanently in this important decade of the 1980's and also she couldn't escape the feeling that she'd made a good honest friend in Kim.

"Its just five minutes away, why do you ask?" Kim frowned, wondering what she meant by this.

"I think I've hurt my knee, possibly when that man threw me hard against the wall, felt the horrible impact, I'm not sure if its cut or bruised but it does sting pretty badly" Alex expressively grimaced in pain, she couldn't stand up properly and she knew if she had gone back in the club, she would have been thrown out, Kim's placed was the best option.

Alex's daydream and flashback thoughts were discontinued as she had to snap out of them as Chris kindly handed her a cup of coffee which she had requested fifteen minutes earlier. "Thank you Chris"
