They heard ringing in the room coming from Sian's bag "What the hell.." Michael said confused
"Is it coming from your bag?" Linda asked innocently
Michael reached into Sians bag and got the phone "Sian why have you got this phone?"
"I...I don't know" Sian said rubbing her head "Madi..She must have planted it there"
"Come on, she didn't have a clue what you were on about before, its not Madi" Michael said
"Michael..Can I have a quick word?" Linda said
"Just a minute.." He said leaving Sian in the office, closing the door "What?"
"I think Sian's ill.." Linda said to him, pretending to be concerned
"What?" Michael said in disbelief
"She's my friend and I'm worried about her..I've been watching her behaviour, I think there's something wrong...It's like she's got this thing about Madi" Linda sighed
"Do you think she's been trying to frame Madi?" Michael asked
"Yes, maybe.." She said
"Why would she do that" Michael said
"I told you, I think she's ill..." Linda said
"Come on" Michael said walking back in to the office
"I know you've been talking about me.." Sian said annoyed
"Sian, you've got to stop being so paranoid.." Linda sighed
"What..I was just.." Sian began to say
"Sian, we need to talk" Michael interrupted
"Why don't I like the sound of that.." Sian said raising her eyebrows
"I think..I think you should take some time off" Michael said quickly
"What? Why?" She asked confused
"I think, maybe your getting a bit stressed, I think you need some time to sort out your personal life and to relax a bit.." Michael said awkwardly
"No, I'm fine!" Sian said
"I'm sorry but your going to have to" He said
Sian began to walk away angrily
"Sian, where are you going?" Michael said "I haven't finished!"
"I'm sorting this out!" She said going off
Sian went to the common room to Madi as Linda and Michael went after her.
"Madi we need a word!" Sian said angrily
"Sian just leave it!" Michael said
"No, I want you to hear her confess!" Sian said "Madi tell them!"
"Tell them what" Madi said rolling her eyes
"About all these messages you've been sending me! Putting the phone in my bag!" She said, now shouting
"Sian..Calm down" Linda said giving a slight smile
Sian was falling right in to her trap, a trap that she would never escape from
"Madi!" Sian said, stressed out
"Shut up you mad cow!" Madi screamed
Anger became apparent in Sian's face, also sorrow, stress.
Sian slapped her across the face, immediately regretting it
"Sian!" Michael shouted
"Madi...I'm so sorry.." Sian said
"You evil bi*ch!" Madi shouted
"Madi!" Sian said
"Sian leave it!" Michael shouted "Just go!"
Sian went home, sitting on the couch crying, she didn't know what to do, what she was becoming.
At the end of the school day, Jez came into the house with Madi and Zack
"Keep her away from me!" Madi said seeing Sian
"Go upstairs, both of you" Jez said as he sat down next to Sian "What's happened, Madi said something about you hitting her, is she lying?"
"No.." She said a tear rolling down her cheek "I did hit her.."
"What..Why?" Jez said shocked
"I need to tell you something.." She said, scared.
"What?.." Jez asked
"I've been getting these texts...About me and...Michael" She said not looking at him
"Michael?" Jez asked
"I'm so sorry.." She said looking away from him
"You and Michael?" He asked a tear rolling down his cheek
"It's over now, I swear it was just a short, stupid, meaningless, fling and he means nothing Jez" She said, her face masked with tears "Someone knew and I kept getting these texts, I'm positive it's Madi and then she made me look like an idiot and I just lashed out"
"If Madi knew about you and Michael she would have told me.." Jez said
Madi came in to the living room
"Madi.." He said
"I heard it all.." She said
"Madi you shouldn't listen to people's private conversations!" Jez said
"I had to find some way what I was being accused of!" Madi said angrily "I can't believe you've been sleeping with Mr Byrne!" She said angrily to Madi
"Like you don't know.." Sian said
"I'm not the one in the wrong here!" Maddi said angrily "I don't know why your blaming me for everything, you cheated on dad, you slapped me!"
"She's right Sian.." Jez said
"Thanks for your support!" She said going upstairs packing a bag
"What are you doing?" Jez asked
"What's the point in staying Jez!" She said storming off out the door
Linda was at home with a cup of tea watching tv, she was pleased with how her plan was going, but she wasn't finished just yet. She got a text from Sian.
'Linda, I don't know what to do, I've just walked out on Jez'
Linda smiled, slowly everyone was turning against Sian, her mind filled with mire additions to her scheme. She replied to Sian
'Come and stay with me for tonight'
Later on there was a knock on the door, Linda opened it putting on the same fake smile that she was now used to doing.
"Come in" She said keeping up the smile
"Are you sure it's okay?" Sian asked coming in
"Of course" She said "Go in the living room, I'll bring you in a drink"
"Thanks Linda" Sian smiled
Linda smiled.
