Hugs, Kisses and Careless Whispers
A Waterloo Road Fanfiction
Karen
Life, I had decided was now mine for the taking; I could start a fresh and begin to put all the pain of the past two years behind me. Bex was now happily studying forensic science at university; I'd even heard from Jess that there was even a boyfriend on the horizon. All the trouble of the previous year, it hadn't turned her off boys i saw, from her constant uploads onto Facebook. I'd teased her playfully last time she'd rung; but inside I was secretly overjoyed. If she was happy, I was happy. That is all any parent can ask for.
As I looked up at my school, all the memories of what our family had been through behind its doors flooded over me; Jess and Chris's liaison, Charlie, Maria and me, Harry with his bulimia. The list seemed endless. Then a shrill noise broke through my hazy reverie.
Was that the fire alarm?
