It was the next day and Zoe had managed to take the morning off to go into school with Lucy. She got up and got the girls ready. Once everyone was ready they left. She dropped Eryn off and went to Lucy's school with Lucy. They went in by the office door. Lucy was feeling a lot better than she did last night but was still nervous. They went to reception and Zoe demanded to talk to the headmaster. They told her to sit down and they would be right with her. She sat with Lucy for over 10 minutes and soon the headmaster came.

"Do you want to come through, Miss Hanna?" She said. Zoe was going to say Doctor Hanna but she didn't want to sound too strong and fierce. This was about her daughter not her work.

"Please call me Zoe" Zoe said walking behind the head teacher.

"Okay Zoe, what can I do for you?" She asked smiling.

"Well, I don't know if you know but last night when I picked Lucy up she was covered in bruises and cuts and told me that she was pushed over and kicked in the stomach by girls in her class. I took her to my ED and got one of my colleagues to check her out. She has stitches in her arm and has a bruised stomach and may even have had concussion." Zoe said

"Oh I'm sorry. I never heard. Lucy did any of the teachers see this" Miss MacLeod asked Lucy

"Yes, I think it was Miss Campbell but I ran off and couldn't see tell who it was" Lucy said.

"Okay, well I'll send my secretary along to get her while we talk" Miss MacLeod said.

"So Lucy, who was it that did this to you?"She asked

"Em," Lucy said looking down.

"Luc, you have to tell her" Zoe said putting her hand on Lucy's hand.

"It was Skye, Rachel, Chloe and Natasha" Lucy said.

"Well I'm going to have some serious words with them. That is just not acceptable. As it been going on for long?" Miss MacLeod asked.

"Em just about a month or so" Lucy said.

"Well Lucy next time anything happens please tell us. The quicker you tell us, the quicker we can sort it out." Miss MacLeod said and Zoe nodded her head.

"Right how about you go to class and I'll just talk to your mum" Miss MacLeod said and Lucy looked at Zoe.

"Yeah sweetie, go to class" Zoe said and she pulled Lucy into a close hug.

"So did Lucy tell you what was happening?" Miss MacLeod asked once Lucy was away.

"No, she didn't say anything. I suppose it's my fault. I was so carried away with my new job but I've managed to get things under control at the ED so I can spend more time with them" Zoe said

"Oh well that's good." Miss MacLeod said and with that she got a phone call.

"Okay, well we'll be right there" Miss MacLeod said

"Em, there seems to be something up with Lucy. The teacher said she's gone white and all sleepy and off balanced." Miss MacLeod said.

"I think she has concussion from when she was pushed. I really need to get her to my ED" Zoe said.

The teacher nodded and they ran to Lucy's classroom. Lucy was sitting on a chair looking awful.

"Right, Lucy we are going to get you to the ED" Zoe said and she picked Lucy up.

"Do you want me to drive and you can keep her awake?" Miss MacLeod said and Zoe nodded. They got to the car and Zoe was struggling to keep Lucy awake.

"Lucy, you need to stay awake" Zoe said as Lucy tried to sleep her eyes. They soon arrived at the hospital and they ran to the ED.

"I need some help here" Zoe shouted as she went straight through to resus with Lucy.

"Right, this is Lucy Hanna, disorientated, sleepy and unbalanced. She was also sick last night. Possible has concussion from a fall yesterday." Zoe said putting Lucy down.

"Lucy, its Tom, can you try and stay awake for us." Tom said.

"I want Mum" Lucy said.

"It's okay, mum's right here" Tom said as he went to insert the IV into her arm.

"Lucy, it's okay, mummy's here" Zoe said taking Lucy's hand.

Tom sorted Lucy out and then discharged her. He just told her to take it easy for the next few days and not to do sports. Lucy nodded and then went to Zoe's staff room to lie down. Zoe then came in with the girls' favourite blanket. She always keeps it at work for when they're ill and off school and staying in her office. She then walked over to Lucy and placed it over her. She walked out the door and turned the lights out so Lucy could get to sleep. Zoe knew she would have to go and wake Lucy up in a bit. She went into resus and helped for just over an hour before going to check on Lucy.

"Lucy" Zoe said gently shaking Lucy. Lucy stirred and woke up.

"Mum, I was sleeping" Lucy said

"I know I just need to wake you up and check you're okay and responding to me" Zoe said.

Lucy nodded and lay back down. Zoe got under the blanket and cosied up with Lucy for nearly an hour before going back to work.

A couple of hours later, Eryn came walking into the ED. She went straight to her mum's office. She was shattered and had had a rubbish day at school. Everyone was just talking about the accident and it had just really got to Eryn. Eryn walked into the office and was shocked to see Lucy laying there. She wasn't in the mood and grabbed and blanket off a sleeping Lucy and she went and sat in her mum's chair and pulled her knees up to her chest.

Soon later Zoe came in.

"Oh hi, Eryn, I thought you were walking home." Zoe said.

"Yeah, well I didn't want to I wanted to come and talk to you" Eryn said.

"Oh that's okay. How what's up?" Zoe asked.

"Just not had a good day and wanted a hug" Eryn said shyly looking at the ground

"Oh baby" Zoe said walking up to Eryn and giving her a hug.

"What's wrong?" Zoe asked.

"Oh it's just hard like cause everyone is talking about the accident and that" Eryn said and Zoe nodded holding Eryn close.

"Right well let's go home. I'll carry Lucy if you could take this paperwork" Zoe said and Eryn nodded taking the folder Zoe handed her.

"Right, I was going to stop off at the shops do you need anything?" Zoe asked.

"Em maybe, can I go in with you?" Eryn asked.

"Yeah sure, we'll leave Lucy in the car, I won't be long" Zoe said. They soon arrived at the shops and they walked in. Zoe went and got some food and then some shampoo.

"Right so what do you need?" Zoe asked.

"Em, can I get more deodorant" Eryn asked.

"Yeah sure, just go and get some" Zoe said.

"Right, I'll be right back you go and look at the magazines" Zoe said and Eryn walked off. Once Zoe was finished she went and got Eryn and they went to the check out. They then walked to the car.

"Mum, why did you make me go and look at the magazines" Eryn asked.

"Because I was getting something for myself" Zoe said,

"What?"Eryn asked.

"You know, just tampons" Zoe said.

"Erg, mum" Eryn said.

"Well you asked." Zoe said

"But still, you're like to old." Eryn said.

"Eryn, I'm only 36" Zoe said

"Yeah, old" Eryn said

"Women have their periods till their well into their 40s, sometimes later" Zoe said

"Mum, I don't really want to think about that" Eryn said.

"How it's not that bad" Zoe said getting in the car.

"It's just the thought of it. It's horrible" Eryn said.

"Eryn, it's just cause you haven't started. It's different once you have" Zoe said.

"Yeah, at school, it's like a different group. We aren't included in their conversations when they talk about cramp and that" Eryn said.

"It was like that when I was young too. I started when I was 12 and a half and a few of my friends had already started and they used to talk about it and not include us" Zoe said and then they arrived home. Zoe went and made tea. Straight after tea Zoe put Lucy to bed as she was tired and she watched the TV with Eryn before Eryn went to bed as well
