Hello everyone. I am so sorry I haven't updated this story in so long. I got writers block and didn't know where to take it but I'm hoping the ideas are flowing again. Anyways I hope you enjoy this chapter and please remember to leave a review and any ideas
Chapter 14:
Outside in the fresh air Libby throws down her bag under the tree on the grass and slumps down against the tree trunk. She let out a deep sigh, resting her head in her hands. She had no idea what she was supposed to be doing anymore. She could hear the playground getting louder as more people came out for break and as Libby looked up she could see Sam and Lauren heading towards her.
"Hey, you ok? Feels like ages since we've seen you!" Lauren said chirpily as she sat down next to Libby on the grass.
"Yeah, just busy with exams and that." Libby said trying to sound convincing and letting out a weak smile.
"Sam is coming round mine tonight to revise for our English exam if you fancy it?" Lauren asked but straight away Libby shook her head.
"Sorry, I can't. I need to get Olly from school." Libby said.
"Can't your Mum pick him up?" Sam asked.
"No she can't…she's not very well." Libby stuttered as she tried her best to think of an excuse. She could see Lauren and Sam quickly glance at each other.
"Is it because of her and your Dad?" Sam asked gently and Libby just sat there. As much as she loved her friends and knew they were only trying to help and be there for her she wished they wouldn't ask her questions.
"Err…something like that." Libby said and hoped that would be the end of it.
"At least she's coping better than my Mum did." Sam joked. "She just ended up getting drunk all the time and turning up here embarrassing us all."
Libby could feel her eyes filling up. She really wanted to tell them and at least Sam would have some idea of what it is like but she couldn't bring herself to do it.
"Anyways, we'd better be getting to lesson." Lauren said trying to change the conversation as Libby sat in silence, the atmosphere shifting. The trio got up and collected their things and Libby followed behind Lauren and Sam where she quickly wiped the few tears away and composed herself for her next lesson.
So, I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Just wondering if you would like some Libby/Sam chats where Libby tells Sam about what is happening etc. and also in terms of lessons shall I just stick to English with Tom, Science with Chris and Art with Kim or would you like other characters such as Music with Matt or French with either Steph or Jo? Let me know your thoughts
