There is not many fless fanfic's about so I thought I might write one that is also slightly different to the rest so this is just a short chapter to see if anyone actually likes this fanfic so please enjoy and reviewJ
there are a couple of things different to start with in this fanfic so it is set about this time last year and it starts in series 27 episode 43 where zoe comes into the staffroom and see's Tess who is not feeling well.

Tess sat in the staffroom like she had done every morning for the last ten years with a strong coffee in hand, her fingers were wrapped around the mug and she herself was deep in thought.

Zoe came into the staffroom and saw a pale looking Tess sat on the sofa, Tess weakly smiled at zoe while attempting to take a drink of her hot coffee which she fastly set down again when the smell of the coffee beans make her near be sick.

"Are you ok?" said Zoe as she herself made a coffee for what was going to be a tough morning

"Yea" said Tess who stood up and walked over to the sink pouring the hot coffee down the sink

"Not drinking that?" said Zoe who watched the black liquid goes down the plughole

"No" said Tess washing her cup out "for some reason the thought of drinking it turns my stomach"

Zoe gave Tess a faint smile but carefully watched her as she walked out of the staffroom before making a quick dash for the toilets.

Zoe set her mug down and walked out of the staffroom turning the same direction Tess had, when she reached the toilets she slowly opened the door revealing 6 cubicals. Zoe noticed that they were all empty except one where there was someone on their knees leaning down and being sick in the toilet.

"Tess" said Zoe knocking the door lightly

"Sorry" said Tess as she walked out of the toilet cubical

"Don't try to tell me that your fine" said Zoe with her hands on her hips

"I am" protested Tess

"Right I want you to go home" said Zoe who of course could see right through Tess's lie

"No" said Tess shaking her head "seriously I'm fine"

"Tess" said Zoe in a lower tone

"Seriously" said Tess "I will be fine, it's just something I ate"

"Ok" said zoe "but strictly paperwork"

Tess nodded knowing that was the best she was going to get.
