Sorry if there's any grammar mistakes in any of my fics. I write on my iPad and sometimes autocorrect jumble things up or get it right. I do proof read them but sometimes I miss them,so for that I apologise...let me know what you

Rachel Mason is bored. No,scrap bored she is way beyond that. Why oh why did her job have to consist of so much paperwork? It was a never ending mountain. It was ridiculous. It was like...like trying to complete a game but failing for the thousandth time.

Signing her name at the bottom of the crisp,white piece of paper...again. The ink had gone from the pen. What number pen was this? Number five? Rachel threw it in the small metal bin next to her desk, whilst retrieving the spare pen that she kept tucked on top of her ear. Flipping over the next sheet of paper she sighed. Did the LEA really have to know everything? Next they'd be wanting to know how many pens' she kept in her draw. And at this rate the answer would soon become none.

Once again signing the piece of paper she placed it on the 'done' pile. She'd had enough! Officially had enough! Placing the pen down on the desk she ran her hands through her hair before leaning her elbows on the desk and begun massaging her temples with her forefingers and closed her eyes. She was stressed. Stressed,tired and in desperate need of Eddie's company. Hang on! Why doesn't he do any paperwork? He gets paid to do it as well. It's in his job description.

As she left that thought flow from her mind she let another one drift in. Thoughts of Eddie. Eddie... They'd been in a relationship for six months now! God it only seemed like yesterday they were hiding at the back of the school grounds trying to escape from the stresses of the day.

They were simply talking. Sitting and talking about anything and everything. That was until Eddie had grabbed her and pulled her back behind a tree,her back hitting the bark and Eddie's arms trapping her from escaping. They were in silence trying desperately not to giggle. The rustling and talking that they'd heard had slowly died down. Once they were sure that the person had gone they had burst into laughter.

As that quietened their eyes locked. Rachel was still trapped but she really couldn't have cared less. Both of their breathing was heavy and Rachel felt anxious. She knew what was going to happen. Eddie was so close to her yet he was still too far. Their eyes kept on darting from each other's eyes to each other's lips. Eddie took the plunge and started gravitating his head towards her,making her breath catch in her throat. Their lips met briefly,it was only a whisper of a kiss. It was as if he was expecting her to run away. She didn't. She didn't want to. So,instead she simply wrapped her arms around his neck bringing him back in for an almost lip bruising kiss. When they had to return they'd promised to keep it quiet for as long as possible not wanting anyone else to get involved. They just wanted it to be them two.

And kept it a secret they have. No one even had any suspicions. They enjoy keeping this little secret; giving each other cheeky winks,smiles and looks. They occasionally had stolen moments in her office or his storeroom. It was just them in this relationship. No one else. No one to intervene or cause trouble and that's how they liked it.

Eddie was so caring,understanding...just being himself really. But Rachel didn't want it any other way. Eddie was the only person that knows everything about her. He knew her hopes,her dreams,her fears,her insecurities and her past. Him and her family were the only ones to know.

Actually,that was the only thing Eddie didn't know about her. He didn't know about her family. Only that she has a sister and a nephew who work and got to Waterloo Road.

Quickly pushing the thoughts of her family to the back of her mind,she carried on to daydream about Eddie. Eddie. Her best friend,her boyfriend, the love of her life.

Rachel was so lost in her own thought she didn't hear Eddie enter her office,closing the purple door quietly or him walking towards her. She only became aware of his presence when she felt his hands on her shoulders massaging them gently.

"Hi," she whispered,relaxing back into her black leather chair.

"Hey,tough day?" He questioned already knowing the answer but he wanted to hear her saying it.

"Ye..too much bloody paperwork,"she giggles softly at the end. She opened her eyes to glance at the clock on her wall,only now realising that the school day was in fact over. Sighing happily she closed her eyes again.

"You might have to add some risk assessment forms to the pile,"he said thinking on how best to approach the subject at hand.

"What do you mean?" Rachel asked questioningly.

"LEA want us to go on a trip,"it wasn't this that worried him..it was were they were going on the trip and how Rachel would react to it.

"Ok. Where to?" Now something was up. Why was Eddie being so reluctant to tell her?

"That's the thing..." He started,scratching his head and making his way over to the sofa. Patting the space next to him gently,gesturing for Rachel to go and join him. Which she did. Taking her hands in his he begun to talk again,"to a prison."

Eddie watched as her face immediately fell. Now showing no emotion or any indication to what she was feeling or thinking. Eddie could normally read her like a book nowadays...but not now. He knew what the next question would be and he didn't feel good about having to answer it. Maybe it would have been better for someone else to mention the trip. Tom maybe?

"What prison?" The words fell from her mouth as if she was a robot.

"Lark hall,"he gulped not being able to look her in the eye. Rachel didn't know how to feel. Ok,going to Lark hall would be ok as long as if it isn't the same wing...

"What wing?" Another question that Eddie was dreading to answer.

"G wing," he whispered as Rachel just stared blankly ahead. He expected to be screamed and lectured at,not the eerie silence that was now surrounding them.

Got to think of a plan. Got to think of a plan. Got to think of a plan. Would anyone still be there? Would anyone remember or recognise me? Ok Rachel, STOP panicking!

There was one more question she needed answering. Please don't say what I'm expecting you to she prayed as she opened her mouth to speak,"who's the wing governor?"

Eddie wasn't expecting that question. Why did she want to know? Well know's the time to find out,"Frances Myers. Do you know her?"

It was Eddie's turn to ask the questions now. The silence Rachel gave answered Eddie's question in a heartbeat but what Rachel was about to say he was not expecting in a million years,

"She's my older sister."

Flashback

Amanda was sat in an ordinary looking living room,but there was one problem. The room was giving off a deep shade of red that illuminated to the outside world. She was sat on one of the leather sofas wearing a very short skirt,a tight white blouse and five inch black heels.

Amanda hated the life she had created for herself. She was nineteen then,in the living room. What sort of life was that for a teenager? She flicked her sandy blonde hair that fell to below her shoulders away,deep in thought.

Taking a sip of her wine and taking a look into the deep,darks,red liquid before glancing back. Amanda looked around her. Sleazy men coming and going. A third of the men were probably virgins',the second third cheating on their girlfriend or wife. The last third were either too pissed to know what they are doing or are just here for 'a laugh'. Well,it wasn't 'a laugh' especially for Amanda.

She looked around again. Women,most probably just as young as she is. They were either doing exactly the same as her or with a paying customer. They all paid their price,the women. Some beaten and bruised,others threatened not to mention the verbal abuse some would receive. Amanda couldn't quite comprehend which one was the worst.

Suddenly,everything had gone quiet. Blue sirens were clearly seen through the curtains if the window,contrasting with the red. They were instructed to either run or hide by their boss. As suspected everyone ran. Amanda didn't. She didn't know what to do. Did she want to get arrested? It was better than living in that shit hole. But if she got arrested she would only be out in to another. Honestly,she didn't have a clue on what to do or which one would be best.

So she sat there. She sat on the leather sofa staring ahead. Unaware of anything going on around her. Unaware that the police had burst through the front door. Unaware that they were searching every room. Unaware that the police had now barged in into the living room where only Amanda sat. Unaware of all the commotion around her until a certain voice broke her out of her trance.

"Mands?"

Current day.

Rachel blinked herself back into reality. Did she really want to go back to her past? Did she want to see her sister? Of course she wanted to see her sister. Did she?

Eddie sat across from Rachel,his hands still clutching her trembling ones. His face full of concern. He shouldn't have told her. Why was he so stupid? Eddie carefully wrapped his arms around her as they both remained silent. That was until Rachel spoke,"ok. Tell them yes."

"Are you sure,sweetheart?"

Rachel nodded her head defiantly against Eddie's chest. Her mind made up,"ye,I'm sure."

"Ok I'll tell the LEA. I love you," what bad timing! Seriously Eddie? He thought. But he couldn't help it,it just slipped out. A flood of relief overcame him as Rachel grinned widely.

"That's the first time you said that,"she pointed out still smiling,"if it's any help I love you too,darling!"

Now it was Eddies' turn to grin before he kissed her passionately. "I'm glad the feeling's mutual. I love you,"he whispered their faces inches apart.

"Me too. I love you too with all my heart."
