I don't own Waterloo Road

Philip was sitting in the school computer lab, he knew social networking sites were not allowed, but he knew a proxy website which would let you onto bebo, he knew his sister had an account so he logged on, he found her straight away and sent her a message, he knew he wasn't suppose to make contact, Derek had made that perfectly clear, but he was worried, he knew how violent and aggressive Derek could get. He was worried about Aimee and just wanted to know she was safe.

The school bell rang distracting Philip from what he was doing; he quickly made his way to Mrs Campbell's art class. They were soon sitting at their groups trying to redraw pictures from a magazine, which in Philips eyes was a stupid exercise, he hated Art and Mrs Campbell was his least favourite teacher.

Bolton's phone vibrated quietly, alerting him to a text message, which he looked at.

Bolton - Janece is getting her melons done

Philip – What to 38 DD

Kim – Whets that DD for downright depressing which is what I'm beginning to think about you and your attitude to Woman.

Kim soon saw Karla's work; she was very impressed and showed the rest of the class her work. The bell soon rang and everyone got up and left for Maths with Mr Lawson.

Once the class had settled down, Eddie started to teach the class about quadratic formulae and equations, when he heard noise from the back of the class.

Philip – Maths is for saddos and geeks

Bolton – Ha what like you, you mean

Danielle – you got his ears just right

Alisha – He looks like a hobbit Bilbo Baggins

The 2 girls looked over to Philip who looked less that pleased. He stood up and walked over to Karla.

Philip – I'm not the freak here, you are

Eddie – OH Get out of here!!

Philip walked out the class; he knew Eddie was going to be furious.

Eddie – That was out of order, I want you to go back into class and apologise.

At break Eddie had told Rachael and Mel about what had happened, Philip was in his Aunts office with his mother, the head teacher and deputy head.

Rachael – Philip, I'm so disappointed in you, what you said to Karla really hurt her

Philip – she shouldn't have drawn me

Eddie – Grow up Philip, it was just a picture

Rachael – Did you apologise to Karla

Philip – Yeah, I did, can we forget it now

Rachael – No we can't just forget it, you can't hurt people and expect it to be just OK. You need to think about the consequences of your actions

Melissa had been quiet through this, she wasn't as good at disciplining as her fiancé or sister, she guessed they had more practise at it, but this was her son, and she should say something.

Melissa – Philip, I am so angry with you right now you know what you did was wrong

Philip - Don't you tell me what is right or wrong, you're the last person who can lecture me on that, your not exactly the best roll model

Eddie – Philip. Don't talk to your mother like that; right now this is all about you

Philip – If this was anyone else it wouldn't be such a big deal

Rachael – Philip, this is about you, and its not about anyone else, I expect more from you, and as a consequence you can spend the rest of the week in afterschool detention. Now on you go breaks about to finish and I suggest that you head to your next class.

Philip got up and left, and headed to his next class, leaving the 2 sisters alone with the man they both loved.

Rachael – What was that all about Mel, why is Philip so angry with you

Melissa – I wish I knew Rach, he has been so moody lately

Rachael – Its nothing to do with the fact that he's missing his sister

Melissa – Please Rach, just leave it, this has nothing to do with you.

The bell rang and Mel went to teach her adult literature class and Eddie to another maths class.

Later that day Eddie received a message from Aimee, she really wanted to meet him, she hated living with her father he was an alcoholic and abusive to her, but she knew the consequences of coming to live with the rest of her family.

Philip hated that his sister felt this way as much as he missed her he knew that she was doing it to save their mother, but he just wished he could have them both, and he was worried over his mothers engagement to Eddie, he didn't want to see her married again, he was in French class with Steph Haydock, he hated French, and wasn't the least bit interested.

Steph – Philip I asked you a question, What do you think the answer is, what is French for Good morning, have you seen my hat

Philip replied with a bad French accent something you would hear on Ello Ello

Philip - Goodz Morning, haves you zeen my hatz

Steph walked over to him, he knew he shouldn't have joked; she had been in a terrible mood since Maxine died, and no one could blame her.

Steph – I think you should go to the cooler, you obviously are not taking my class seriously

Philip stood walked out and went to the cooler, a few minutes later Rachael walked by, every time she walks by the cooler she has a look inside to see who is there, this time she was surprised to see her nephew. She pushed the door aside and looked at her nephew.

Rachael – I though I made myself clear earlier, I didn't want to get anymore bad reports from teachers about your behaviour

Philip – I didn't promise anything, besides you can hardly call Miss Haydock a teacher

Rachael – Philip what is going on with you, your not your usual self, I'm not stupid you know.

Philip – Aimee emailed me, she's scared, she doesn't want to be with her Dad, but she can't be with us either

Rachael – I still don't understand, why can't your sister be here in Rochdale with us?

Philip – If she is here, then Mum goes to Prison. Mum is still married to my Dad and is married to Derek.

Rachael – What, she's suppose to be marrying Eddie in a few weeks, Philip are you sure

Philip – Yeah Aunt Rachael, I'm sure. I have tried to speak to Mum about it, but she keeps saying that she will sort it, but I don't see how

Rachael took Philips hand, he was shaking she was glad that he had finally opened up to her.

Philip – Aunt Rachael, we need to get Aimee here, she's not safe with her Dad. Derek is violent, he hits her and she's scared that he's going to kill her.

Rachael – OK I'll try and sort it, you go back to class, and try not to worry.

He walked out the door felling a weight off his shoulders, now his Aunt knows, hopefully she can fix there life.

Rachael was furious with her sister, she wanted to talk to her and Eddie, they both needed to know what was going on.

A few minutes later Mel and Eddie were with Rachael in her office.

Eddie – Rachael is something wrong?

Rachael – You could say that, Mel threes something you are keeping from us, do you care to share

Melissa – I don't know what you are talking about

Rachael – I've spoke to Philip, he's terrified for his sister, you didn't tell me that Aimee is staying with Derek only to save you from going to jail,

Eddie – Jail, what the hells going on

Rachael – I guess she lied to you too, it seems my sister is still married

Eddie – What, what about your wedding in 3 weeks, were you ever going to tell me

Mel was sitting crying, she hated that this had all came out now, she wasn't a bad person, and she just let things go a little

Rachel – No Eddie you don't understand, she's still married to 2 men, Derek, Aimee's Dad and Peter Walker Philips father.

Melissa – Please Rachael, don't tell the police, I can't go to Jail

Rachael – I'm sorry, but Aimee is suffering, Philip has spoke to her, she's being abused, she can't stay with that man, I won't let her

Eddie – What you're letting your daughter stay with a violent man? Mel I don't think I know you at all

Rachael – I'm sorry Mel, I need to phone the police.

Mel ran out of the office in search for her son, she needed to see him she wanted to take him and run far away where no one could find them, but before she found him the police arrived, they arrested Mel and contacted social services in Glasgow to find Aimee
