This chapter will have some strong language, just to warn you.
The Summer holidays were coming to an end and Paul hadn't spoken to Kate properly since the night they spent together, Kate couldn't understand why, she hadn't done anything wrong, Rachel noticed her daughter had become very quiet and she had heard her crying in her bed some nights. It was the night before the first day back at Waterloo Road and Kate was just going to bed.
Kate: Night mum, night dad, love you.
Eddie: Love you too sweetheart.
Rachel: Night honey, love you.
Kate went up to bed and Rachel and Eddie soon followed. Rachel heard Kate crying again and decided she would go see what was wrong. Rachel knocked on Kate's door. Kate started wiping her eyes hoping her mum wouldn't notice that she had been crying. Rachel opened the door and went to sit on her daughters bed.
Rachel: Hey sweetheart, whats up?
Kate: Nothing mum, what are you talking about?
Rachel: Kate... your eyes are bright red and bloodshot, i know you've been crying i heard you.
Kate: Mum i'm fine.
Rachel: No your not honey, i've heard you crying most nights this week! So what's happened?
A tear fell down Kate's cheek, Rachel was worried, she held her arms out and Kate fell into her mother. Kate couldn't help herself, she couldn't stop crying, Rachel held her tight.
Kate: Mum i don't know why i'm so upset, it's just Paul hasn't spoken to me properly since that night he stayed over.. and... i... i just feel so alone.
Rachel: Ohh baby, why didn't you tell me? you know i'm always here for you, and you are never alone! I love you more than anything in the world, you know that right?
Kate: Mum i'm sorry i didn't tell you, i wanted to but i just couldn't, and i know you love me! i don't know why i feel like this. Mum... can you sleep in here with me tonight? i don't want you to leave me...
Rachel: Course i will darling.
Rachel got up and put the lights off, she got into Kate's bed and Kate snuggled right into her mum while her mum hugged her. The morning came and they all got up, they set off for school shortly after. Kate had been in her first 2 classes when the bell went for break, Kate went to the toilet, she heard people in the cubicle next to her shagging. Kate came out and washed her hands.. and who came out the cubicle but Danielle and Paul!
Kate: YOU FUCKING BITCH! YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE MY FRIEND!
Kate dragged Danielle out by her hair! They were now in the corridor where everyone could see them! Kate slapped Danielle!
Kate: I FUCKING HATE YOU! YOU FUCKING SLAG!
Danielle: Kate stop i can explain!
Kate: I DON'T THINK SO! I'VE JUST CAUGHT YOU SHAGGING MY BOYFRIEND!
Kate punched her in the face and they started a fist fight! Karla ran to get Rachel and Eddie! They came running! Eddie grabbed Kate and stopped her.
Rachel: What the bloody hell is going on here?
Kate: She shagged Paul in the toilets!
Rachel: Danielle, Kate, to my office now!
Eddie let Kate go, she burst into tears.
Kate: FUCK OFF! I NEVER WANT TO SEE YOU AGAIN! DANIELLE YOU ARE A FUCKING BITCH! JUST FUCK OFF AND NEVER COME BACK!
Kate ran, she kept running, she left the school and kept going. Eddie ran after her, he could still see her so he kept running waiting for her to stop... she finally stopped just up the hill from where Eddie was standing, he ran up and grabbed her before she could run again.
Eddie: Kate i don't know what to say, there's nothing i can say that will make this better, but come with me and we can talk.. yea?
Kate: I.. I don't know what to do dad, why's this kinda thing always happen to me?
Kate could hardly talk for crying, Eddie took her hand and they went and sat under a big tree.
Kate: Im so sorry dad! i'm sorry...
Eddie: It's okay baby, shhh... i'm here now, it's gonna be okay.
