Thanks for the reviews :) :P

Parent problems

"No, Peter, you can't." Susan eventually said, her brother could not be serious, did he think she hadn't tried to stop taking the stuff? He didn't understand.

"Yes I can Susan, and I will." Peter said honestly. He was going to get his sister of the drugs no matter what it took.

"But, you don't understand! You don't understand how hard it is, you don't understand what it feels like to need them to get through the day, you just don't understand anything at all!" Susan sighed, Peter couldn't help her.

"I know, I know it'll be hard but I'll be with you every step of the way, I'll help you through all the side effects and everything, I won't just abandon you, I promise." Peter said honestly as he looked into his sisters eyes.

"What if I don't want to stop." Susan suddenly whispered.

"What do you mean, of course you want to stop?" Peter said, confusion clear in his voice, Susan did want to stop, didn't she?

"What if I want to keep going, what if I don't want to go through the pain of stopping?" Susan carried on.

"You do want to though, you do because you know that if you don't, you know that if you don't, you're going to end up dead." Peter breathed, looking straight into Susan's eyes.

"Okay," Susan said in a shaky voice, Peter's words obviously having affected her, "I'll stop, I'll let you help me, under one condition."

"Anything." Peter smiled, Susan was finally going to get better.

"You sort stuff out with dad."

Peter's smile dropped from his face immediately, was Susan actually being serious, there was no way on earth that he was going to even attempt to talk to his dad, no way, at all.

"Susan, you know that I can't do that, you know what he did to us." Peter decided he would try and talk his sister out of her stupid plan.

"He let someone else bring us up because it would be better for us, not him, not anyone else, us. He knew that he wans't capable of bringing up two young children on his own so he did what was best for us. You're the one who can't see that." Susan stated angrily.

"But Susan I-"

"No! You sort things out with him or I carry on doing the drugs." Susan stated as she crossed her arms.

Peter let out a sigh, Susan had put him in an impossible position, and she knew that he would choose her safety over anything.

"All right then." Peter grumbled moodily, "I'll give him a call tomorrow."

Carla's mind was running into overdrive. What was Michelle thinking? She had to talk to someone that could help her. Carla understood that Michelle didn't want to tell her mum but she had to tell Dean, he was the father. And who knew, maybe he would surprise her and tell her that he did want the baby.

But Carla couldn't tell him, it had to be Michelle or no one, anyway, Carla couldn't do that to her, tell Dean knowing that she didn't want to tell him, she would however do anything she could to change Michelle's mind and get her to tell him.

Carla heard her phone ringing and pulled it out of her bag to see that it was Frank. It wasn't 5 yet, why was he calling? She took a deep breath and answered the phone.

"Hello." She tried to make her voice sound normal but it was no use, anyway he would be able to tell she was terrified without even hearing her voice, he knew how much he scared her.

"Carla, you need to come home, now!" Frank's voice sounded urgent, not angry, more like worried.

"What is it?" Carla asked, she was quite confused.

"You just need to come back now, as quick as you can." Frank said, he sounded like he was rushing about.

"Okay, I'll be back in five minutes." Carla said as the line went dead.

Well, that was strange to say the least. Most of the phone calls Carla had from Frank were full of threats and angry rants, that had just been weird, what was happening that was so important?

Carla rounded the corner down Turpin road and got a shock when she saw an ambulance parked outside her house, what was going on? She increased her pace and walked into her house to see Frank and Rob standing, looking very worried, in the hallway.

"What's happened?" Carla asked, what was going on.

"It's mum." Rob managed to choke out.

"No." Carla breathed, this wasn't happening, this couldn't be happening.

"What happened?" Carla asked, she had to know.

Frank placed a hand roun dher shoulder but she shook it off angrily and burst into the front room where her heart stopped beating at what she saw. Her mum was lying totally still on the sofa while a paramedic was attempting to was giving her CPR.

Another paramedic attempted to make Carla leave the room but she refused, she just stood there and watched as the paramedic shook his head and stood up. Carla swore the whole street could hear her heart splinter into thousands of tiny pieces.

She left the room in a trance like state, why had this happened, why? She knew that her mum never really cared for her but still, she was her mum and she loved her, and now she was gone, she was never going to see her again.

Carla looked at the unreadable expressions on Frank and Rob's faces before running up to her bedroom, slamming the door and collapsing down onto her bed.

How could this be happening? She felt bile rise up in her throat and made a rush to the bathroom. While she was sitting over the toilet bowl she heard Frank enter the bathroom behind her and close the door. Carla felt her body tense up, he wouldn't, not know, not after her mum had just died, would he?

To Carla's relief Frank just sat on the edge of the bath and said, "The doctor's said she had a heart attack caused by too much drink and drugs most likely."

Carla just nodded as she felt a tear slip down her cheek, she couldn't believe it. Her mum was gone...
