Letting Go Of The Past, Holding On To The Future.
Part One.
A New Beginning.
It had been 6 short months since Karen had met Rob. They were getting really quite close. They had kissed twice, and Karen had stayed the night. Karen Fisher had just been reinstated as headmistress of waterloo road, and Rob had been made head of the English Department, after Tom moving to Spain for a year to get away from everything that had happened in such a short space of time. He needed a break. It was 4 weeks into the new term at waterloo road, and things were looking brighter! Bex; Karen's oldest daughter had settled down in University, studying law. Getting straight A's, apart from the odd B off – the teacher who hated everyone. One year he failed a student for not putting their name on their assignment. He's the strictest teacher that Bex had ever known. Even stricter than Grantly Budgen; although grantley would argue. With Bex keeping out of trouble, everyone was focusing on Jess; Karen's other Daughter, who was going to be giving birth in two weeks! With her and Aiden split up, Jess was finding everything hard to cope with, she didn't want to love Aiden – but she couldn't help herself, She had deep feelings for him, which she knew weren't going away anytime soon. Jess feared that having the baby was only going to make things 100 times worse for her, but it was far too late to turn back now. Before she knew it she would have their baby in her arms, having to love and care for it, of course Karen and Rob were going to be there every step of the way, but this was Jess and Aiden's baby; their responsibility. With Rob and Karen in a clearly committed, newly formed yet not recognised relationship, it was awkward for Aiden to talk to his Father about things. Aiden was staying at his best friend Ronan's house, which everyone thought was a little odd because Ronan's Ex-Girlfriend; Vicky, is the other girl Aiden got pregnant at the same time as Jess, which is the issue that split the young couple up. Ronan was the only friend that Aiden had right at the minute, after what he had done to everyone, and he wasn't about to wreck the friendship all over again.
