Lorraine was sat in her car slowly peeling away from the school. She couldn't help but wonder about what would have been with Nikki. It was clear that Nikki was past it, but was she? She sighed and shook her head.

Nikki was sat in her office. She knew she had just pushed Lorraine even further away. As always. She just couldn't trust her not to run away. She missed Lorraine already. Sighing she packed up her things, deciding to clear her head by running home she pulled out her running gear got changed and set off.

She ran with no music. Just the padding of her feet on the road. A steady comforting beat.

Turning the corner onto what she knew was Lorraine's street, but it was her favourite way to run home she noticed two people further up the road. As she got closer she could see that there was a man and a woman. And from the looks of it she was trying to push him away. Oh shit, she thought. It was Lorraine. Without thinking Nikki picked up the pace. She ran up behind the guy grabbing him and restraining him.

'Lorraine! What the hell?!' She asked.

'This guy, he... Gr... He...' She was panting hard. It had obviously been quite a struggle. Nikki had the guy pinned to the ground now.

An hour later the police were leaving. They had taken statements and the guy, Mark was his name, and left or the station.

'Are you ok?' Nikki asked Lorraine.

'Yeah. Yeah Ill be fine. You can get off if you want.' Lorraine forced a smile. 'Thanks Nik'

Nikki looked at lorraine, she didn't look ok and Nikki didn't want to leave her on her own, all she wanted to do was hold her until she fell asleep. But she didn't feel it was her place to barge in anymore. Sighing, she nodded and left.

The next day at school Nikki was heading down the corridor to her office for her free period. Ahead she could see Lorraine heading towards her. Absent mindedly texting away as always. There were kids everywhere, as usual at break time so it was a little like swimming uphill. The doors behind Lorraine burst open and Barry came running down the corridor, shouting, barged past Lorraine. Nikki was about to grab him and send him to the cooler but Tom beat her to it. He was coming out their office door as Barry went past. Nikki had noticed Lorraine's face in that second that Barry had barged past her. It wasn't annoyance as she would usually see, it was fear. The other night had obviously shaken her up. Even now she was still stood, rooted to the spot. Nikki walked up to her, grabbed her wrist and pulled her into Nikkis office.

'Talk to me Lorraine' she said looking in those big blue eyes. She could see tears threatening in Lorraine's eyes. She knew that she needed to let this out but she was so damn stubborn. Lorraine simply shook her head.

'Come on Lo, you know you can trust me, I can see your not ok. Talk to me.' Nikki pleaded.

Lorraine shook her head again. She was beginning to regain composure again. And the walls were coming up fast.

'You need to deal with this. Bottling it up doesn't make it go away. I know I was horrible and pushed you away, but whatever has happened between us I still care about you.'

'Im fine' she'd managed to find her voice, although it was quiet, weak not her usual cocky self yet. She couldn't even look Nikki in the eye.

'Dammit Lorraine!' Nikki was starting to get annoyed. She couldn't believe how stubborn she was being about this.

'What's it gonna take for you too pen up eh? You want me to start? Ok.' She was ranting now.' I was petrified the other night when I saved you but I couldn't just stand there, watch him, watch h hurt the person,' fuck it she thought, 'the person I love'

Before she knew what she was doing Nikki was kissing Lorraine with very thing she had, pushed against the office wall, her tongue begging for entrance, Lorraine reciprocated the kiss, tongues dancing together, like they had never been apart.
