A Reddie Fic

Hey Everyone :D This is a new WR fic as a Tribute to the greatest TV character ever; Rachel Mason. It will be kind-of based on Series 5 Spoilers, but anyway I hope you enjoy reading it :)

Chapter 1 –

Strangers when we meet

No-one ever prepares you for just how brutally heartbreaking life can be, no-one ever warns you and until you actually experience the physical pain for yourself, you never to stop to think about how it could feel to loose the only person you have ever trusted. And the only person you have ever loved.

Rachel Mason had always prided herself on her strong character, always for some unknown and unexplainable reason, believing that to cry, was to show weakness. And so she'd never been able to let anyone in, never been able to get close to anyone for fear of getting too close; she'd never allowed herself to get into a proper relationship for fear of falling in love.

But all of that had changed, dramatically, from the first day she'd taken over the role of Head at Waterloo Road Comprehensive School, on the Waterloo Estate in Rochdale.

She'd taken the job as an associate head and had only planned on staying there on a temporary basis, with her first task to gain business and enterprise college status, but also with an overall task of trying her absolute best to transform the under-performing school and make it a place where people actually wanted to send their kids and where people knew they were part of something worth fighting for.

However unbeknown to her, when she'd walked into her office at Waterloo Road for the first time on 22nd November 2007 and shook hands with the man whom was to be her deputy head, that she'd actually walked into the one place that would always mean something to her, the one place that she would always fight for no-matter what, the one place where she'd be an inspiration to many people, the one place where she'd make her first true friends, the one place where she would be part of a proper if slightly unconventional family and the one place where she would fall in love with the only man that she'd ever been able to trust, and also unbeknown to her as she'd walked into that office for the first time, was that the man whom was to be her deputy and who she had shook hands with, was actually the man who she would fall hopelessly in love with.

I know it's a short first chapter but the next one will be up soon so please review :D
