This is my first fan fic so be nice! ;) I was recently watching old clips of Waterloo Road and I found one when Matt Wilding, the music teacher fostered Sam for a bit and I loved their relationship so I wanted to explore this a bit more! :)
Please let me know what you think in the reviews! Thanks! :)
Chapter 1 - A New Home
Sam and Denzil Kelly were the two children of Rose and Reynold Kelly. Rose is an alcoholic and Reynold was a violent and manipulative man. This one morning, the doorbell suddenly rang and it was social services. A neighbour had called them after constantly hearing shouting and smashing of glass from the Kelly's house. They were worried about the welfare of the children.
Rose went and answered the door. She was already drunk. "What do you want?" She slurred at the two people in uniform. "We have been informed that your children may not be being looked after properly. There have been several complaints and worries that shouting and smashing of glass have been heard." The male social worker said. "So what?! We have the odd fight, what's wrong with that?" Rose slurred again. "I'm afraid we need to put your children into temporary foster care so we know they are safe." He said.
Reynold then appeared. "What the hell is going on?" He demanded. "They want to take the kids!" Rose said. Reynold just laughed. "Well they're not having them!" He said. "I'm afraid that's not your choice." The woman officer said.
Sam and Denzil were then taken from their home and taken to a temporary foster care home. They were devastated and even more devastated when they found out they were going to be separated.
Meanwhile, Matt Wilding, the music teacher from Waterloo Road had just been approved as a foster carer and he was told that he would be getting a girl that day. He was very nervous but also excited. He had wanted to be a dad for so long but thought this was the next best thing. Sophie, Sam's social worker, took her round to Matt's at 1. Matt opened the door to them and Sam groaned. "He's one of my teachers! Why do I have to stay with him?" "Hello Sam, welcome, come in!" Matt said letting them in. "I'll leave you to settle in." Sophie said then left.
"Your room's this way." Matt smiled at Sam showing her the way. She went into her room and actually quite liked it. "Feel free to put anything up on the walls if you want. Make it feel like yours." He smiled. Sam was quiet but said, "Thanks sir..." "I'm Matt when we're out of school, ok?" He smiled kindly. Sam nodded. "I'll leave you to unpack." Matt said and left her to it.
