A/N - Thank you for all the lovely reviews. Sorry it's taken me so long to update, I've been a little busy. Whoever left me the nasty review, next time try leaving your name or are you too scared?


Rachel opened her eyes, she was lay on the bathroom floor. She groaned as she sat up, she knew she shouldn't of drank the pint of wine Bolton gave to her. Bolton was sat in the bath asleep holding onto an empty wine bottle. Rachel could still hear the music booming downstairs. She checked her watch, she had only been passed out for an hour. She still felt totally out of it, but no longer felt sick.

"Bolton!" Rachel shouted. Bolton's eyes shot open and he sat up, completly confused.

"What? What? I'm awake... I'm awake... was just resting my eyes" Bolton slurred as he closed his eyes again, mumbling to himself.

"Melissa... I need to find Melissa, we need to get home" Rachel said, not sure who she was talking to, she looked over at Bolton again, "Are you listening?" She snapped as she leaned over the bath and hit Bolton's leg. Once again Bolton's eyes shot open. Rachel stumbled to her feet, using the bath as support. Bolton managed to pull himself out of the bath after a bit of help from Rachel.

"Is it time for school?" Bolton muttered as he straighten his top and picked up the empty bottle of wine.

"No, no school yet" Rachel replied, she watched as he picked the bottle up. She took it from his hands, "Empty mate" She said as she put it back in the bath. They both left the bathroom together, stumbling down the hallway and towards the stairs. Michealea was stood at the top of the stairs, glaring at Rachel like she had done eariler that night.

"Stupid bitch" Micheala growled at Rachel as she walked towards her. Rachel rolled her eyes are Michelea's insults.

"Leave it out yeah?" Bolton snapped at Michaela. Micheala looked taken back, she then narrowed her eyes at Bolton. She raised her hand and slapped Bolton hard across the cheek. Rachel stood in shock, a hand covering her open mouth. Bolton held his cheek, but he couldn't actual feel any pain due to drinking too much wine.

"You're acting like a 2 year old Micheala!" Rachel said as she stepped foward to fight Bolton's corner, "I don't fancy Bolton for God sake, have him to yourself!"

"After he's been with you, no thanks!" Micheala snapped.

"And what do you mean by that?" Rachel asked, frowning wondering what Micheala did mean by it.

"You know what I mean. You're nothing but a slag. First Brett and now you're onto Bolton. Get a grip" Micheala snarled at Rachel, stepping closer to Rachel. Bolton stepped forward and broke the two girls up, he turned to Micheala.

"Nothing's ever happened between me and Rach! We're just good friends" Bolton insisted. Rachel looked up at Bolton hoping he was right, "Stop being so jealous. She doesn't fancy me, end of!"

"Yeah, so just leave us alone" Rachel said as she looked back at Micheala, "Come on Bolton, lets go" Rachel moved past Micheala walked down the stairs, Bolton shortly followed her. Once at the bottom of the steps Rachel turned left and into the living. There were still a lot of people in there, but some of them had left and gone home. Rachel spotted Melissa sat on the sofa with Chlo, Donte and some lad who Rachel had never seen before. Melissa spotted Rachel too and beckoned her over. Rachel made her way towards Melissa.

"Come on, we're going home" Rachel stated, "It's getting late" She looked down at her watch

"It's only 11 o'clock" Melissa pointed out, "Come on, stay a little longer"

"No" Rachel said, she grabbed hold of Melissa's arm and pulled her up off the sofa, "We are going home" Melissa rolled her eyes, she knew there no point arguing with Rachel, she was just too stubborn. Rachel reached for her phone in her pocket and dialled for a taxi.

"Yeah, a taxi to 15 Fanshaw Avenue" Rachel said down the phone, "Okay, thanks" Rachel ended the call and put her phone back in her pocket, "15 minutes" She said to Melissa who had sat back down on the sofa. Rachel sat down on a chair and rested her head on her hand and closed her eyes. She had definately drank too much. Rachel cursed herself in her head for being so stupid. These were her students, she was out partying with her students. This was most definately an unprofessional thing to do. Rachel felt a warm hand take hold of hers. She slowly opened her eyes, her eyelids feeling heavy and falling. She could see it was Brett stood in front of her.

"If you want to stay here tonight you can" Brett offered, he slowly stroked Rachel's face and pushed her hair out of her eyes, "You know I've got a double bed" He added, winking at Rachel. Rachel found herself smiling at Brett's flirting, she then shook her head.

"Can't. Taxi is on its way" Was all Rachel managed to say. Brett looked disappointed, "Sorry" She said when she noticed his expression.

"Shame" Brett replied, still stroking her face, "Well the offer still stands if you want to change your mind. You can cancel that taxi you know"

"I know I can, but I aren't going to" Rachel replied, she moved her hand away from Brett's and pulled away from the hand that was stroking her face.

"Your loss" Brett stated as he stood up fully. He gave Rachel a small smile before walking off into the kitchen. Rachel returned to her previous position and shut her eyes once again. Rachel was then woken several minutes later by Melissa.

"Taxis outside Rach!" Melissa said, shaking her sister violently so that she would wake up. Rachel nodded her head and picked up her bag. They both heading off towards the front door. Rachel noticed Bolton stood on the front door step.

"I'm going home now" Rachel said to Bolton as she was walking past.

"Aw, really?" Bolton replied walking over to Rachel, "That's a shame" He pulled Rachel in for yet another rib-breaking hug. However when letting go of her he leaned forward and kissed her. Rachel found herself kissing back for a second or two, she then pulled back.

"Bolton, I have to go" Rachel pulled away from Bolton's hold and quickly walked off down the drive after her sister.
