Hey guys :) I've not written any fics for ages, but this idea came into my head so I thought I may aswell start writing again lol. The fic involves various Waterloo Road characters from various series and also involves a few different storylines, but they do all link together eventually. I've also posted this fic on the Waterloo Road forum but under the title of 'Home'. Enjoy and leave a review as I would love to know what you think :) x
Part 1
Rachel sighed as she glanced at the clock, Adam should have been home over two hours ago. She would have been worried if this had been the first time that he had been late home from work, but since Lucie had been born Adam had been coming home late more and more often.
She knew he was having an affair. Anyone could work that out just from the smell of him - he certainly didn't go to work smelling of booze and perfume. She had no idea who the other woman was, but quite frankly she didn't care anymore. She just needed to get her and Lucie away from here and away from him.
Adam had been so lovely at the start of their marriage and she really had loved him. Truthfully she knew she'd never love anyone as much as she had loved Eddie, but Adam had been kind to her and she'd learned to love him. And she had been happy with him, up until the point when she had told him she was pregnant with Lucie. He had shouted at her and told her to have an abortion, but she'd told him she was keeping the baby and he hadn't been the same person since. He didn't care about her anymore, he barely spoke to her. He wasn't even there at the birth and hadn't had anything to do with her since she was born.
She jumped slightly as she heard the front door open forty-five minutes later and watched as Adam stumbled into the room. She didn't even need to ask where he had been.
'I'm going to bed' he mumbled.
'Couldn't possibly do anything to help me could you? I've been looking after Lucie all day. Our daughter. You remember her Adam?'
'I've been at work!'
'Whatever'
'I never wanted a baby you know!'
'Well I never wanted to leave my job and my friends. I only did that to make you happy. I never wanted to move back to London either, you know how much I hate it here!'
'We had to move for my career!'
'Yeah. You're career. What about mine? I loved working at Waterloo Road. My whole life was in Rochdale!'
'Well if it meant so much to you Rachel, why don't you just go back. I don't love you anyway. And I don't love her!' he shouted, pointing at Lucie.
'Yeah well, you know what? Maybe its about time I did go back. I deserve better than you Adam. You've ruined my life and I'm not going to let you ruin it anymore!'
