Sorry for the delay been a bit hectic my end!

Chapter Ten

Izzie sat down in the staffroom next door to tom after speaking with Chlo, who was busy marking.

"You alright Iz?"

"Feel a bit sick actually" Izzie replied

"Do you want anything?" Tom asked concerned.

"No I think its just stress, me and Chlo have talked"

"How did it go?"

"Well better than I expected, but shes got a lot of grovelling to do"

"That's good"

"Shes coming for tea at least four times a week"

"That's a good idea, she needs to rebuild her relationships with us and mika"

"Exactly…Sorry tom, I'm going to be sick" Izzie got up rushing to the nearest staff toilets and throwing up.

Tom had chased after her stopped by Rachel.

"Woah, wheres the fire?" Rachel asked

"Can you go to staff toilets and check on Izzie?"

"Sure, she okay?"

"She said she was going to be sick" Tom said

"You go back to the staffroom ive got this" Rachel said walking towards the staff toilets and walking in seeing Izzie at the sinks wiping her face. "You alright Iz?"

Izzie nodded "Yeah think its just stress, ive had a word with Chlo, sorry"

"Hey…Don't apologise" Rachel said leaning against the other sinks with her arms folded. "so you've made up?"

"Sort of" Izzie sighed

"It's a start at least…and what about you?"

"I'm tired, stressed and fed up" Izzie sighed putting the tissue in the bin "I wonder sometimes why I even had kids"

Rachel chuckled "Izzie you're a great mom, please don't put yourself down"

"Yeah, Great mum…One daughter had an abortion and the other got married…but im still a great mum" Izzie sighed

"and you've supported Mika through the whole thing, and Chlo is craving your support"

Izzie sighed "Its going to take time Rachel"

"I know, but it will be alright and I'm always here if you want to have a rant" Rachel smiled rubbing Izzie's shoulder.

"thanks Rach"

"Do you want to go home? Or stay in the staffroom and ill get someone to cover your next lesson"

"I think I'll stay for now, see how I get on" Izzie said

"Alright then, stay in the staffroom for a bit and try and calm down"

Izzie nodded walking out into the corridor with Rachel and suddenly stopping.

"Iz?" Rachel said turning round and stopping.

"I'm going to be sick again" Izzie replied running back into the toilets.

Rachel quickly followed her and walked in waiting for her. "Iz, you should go home"

"I'm fine Rachel, honest" Izzie said flushing the chain and coming back out with tissues around her mouth.

"That wasn't a statement it was an order. Your clearly not okay"

Izzie nodded "I don't even know what's causing it"

"Well if it continues, please go to the doctors"

"I will"

"I'll see you when your better"

"Tell tom I'll get a taxi home as we car share"

"Will do, no problem" Rachel said walking out and heading towards the staffroom.
