Monday morning. The day Rachel had been dreading. She had to tell him today. Rachel reluctantly made it to her office. Today was going to drag and she knew it was. Rachel sat herself down on her chair feeling the comfort that it brought. Her mind wandered off. Eddie was the only one that knew about her past and she planned on keeping it that way especially in her current situation. Rachel's hand instinctively spread across her stomach. The bell for first lesson startled her out of her thoughts. "Sooner is always better than later," she said to herself as she got off her chair and made her way to Eddie's classroom. She walked gingerly though the quiet corridors fear shown on her face and purposely taking her time.
Rachel finally made it to his classroom. She looked through the windows and noticed that he had a classroom full of year 11 students. She debated wether to tell him now or not but the more she put it off the more she thought about it the more it worried her. Rachel knocked on the classroom before popping her head around the feeble door,"Mr Lawson a word please?" Eddie put down his book on his desk and made his way grumpily out of the classroom telling them to get on with their work before walking up to Rachel who was leaning nervously on the window. "What do you want Rachel?" He said angrily because they hadn't been getting on recently. Rachel's face showed everything the fear,the worry and the scared. Eddie noticed this and turned his voice softer,"what's wrong Rach?" Rachel smiled to herself. This was the first time he'd called her the short version of her name since the night which led her to this situation. A tear fell down Rachel's cheek and suddenly Eddie realised this was serious. Luckily at the same time Tom was walking down the corridor. Eddie turned to him before he disappeared,"Tom are you free now?"
"Yes why?" Tom looked confusingly at Eddie. "Can you watch my class for me please. I need to speak to Rachel."
"Ye. Ye ok," he said walking into Eddie's classroom and telling them to be quiet whilst Eddie walked Rachel back to her private office.
