Hi :) This is my first Waterloo Road fic, so I hope you enjoy! I don't own anything to do with Waterloo Road (wish I did) :(
Christine walked quickly ahead of Imogen into the girls bathrooms. She saw Dynasty, collapsed against a sink. She started to put down her bag, as she walked towards Dynasty.
"Tell me what happened", said Christine, painfully remembering herself like this, and praying Dynasty wasn't in the same situation.
"I can't", sobbed Dynasty.
Now Christine was getting worried, but she needed to reassure the girl.
"Yes you can, whatever it is. I'm gonna stay right here, and you take all the time you need."
"It's Steve-O, he made me."
Christine felt sick, she hoped with all her heart that Dynasty wouldn't answer the next question, but Christine had to ask. She started to rub Dynasty's back, as she asked
"Made you what?"
Christine knew the answer before Dynasty even opened her mouth.
"Have sex".
She scooped Dynasty into her arms, and she could feel the girl trembling as she sobbed. Christine knew how she felt when Dynasty confessed that it was all her fault.
"No, no it wasn't", said Christine, and she needed Dynasty to believe her.
"I know, how much courage it took you, just to tell us", Christine said, and she struggled to keep her emotions together. "Dynasty you can't let this break you".
"Like it broke me". Christine finished the sentence in her head.
"I was scared that no one would believe me", Dynasty sobbed.
Oh boy, did Christine know that feeling. She remembered how relieved she felt telling Michael, knowing he believed her.
"Well I do". Christine tried to put as much sincerity as she could into those three words. She meant them, and Dynasty needed support right now.
She helped Dynasty to sit up. Face to face, Christine could see the pain in Dynasty's eyes.
"You have to report him".
"What if he just denies it? Says he's my boyfriend", asked Dynasty. She was terrified that they wouldn't believe her.
"Whether he's your boyfriend or not", Christine started. "He r – he assaulted you."
She couldn't bring herself to say rape. It seemed too real.
"You have the strength to do this, I know you do, and I will be with you, every step of the way".
And she meant it. God knows she could have done with support when she needed it. She was not going to allow Dynasty to feel as alone as she felt. She was not going to allow Dynasty to go through the pain she went through. She was going to help Dynasty Barry.
So in the next chapter, it will be what I think would happen next, it's not what actually happens :D
