Running through the corridors, the pair came to a holt as they heard a gunshot. Rachel turned to face Eddie, her once glowing face, now drained of colour. Worry and fear now running through both their minds.
Lily called the police, picking up the phone her fingers trembling, dialling 999 she was met with the question of which service she wanted,
"Police, ... and Ambulance please," Lily replied.. she heard the gun shot, her mind wondering, for the safety of her friends, teachers and imparticular her Headmistress.
"What is your current location Miss?" asked the woman on the other end of the phone.
"Waterloo Road school, Hill Top Drive...Quick, there's been a gun shot."
"Stay safe ...were on our way."

Lily put down the phone, Stay safe? How could she? She had to find out what's happening.
Opening the door, Lily was interrupted by Polly,
"Where'd you think you're going? Mrs Lawson told us to stay here!"
"I have to see what's happening, I have to see if Mrs Lawson is alright." Polly and Beccy were now angry, why did Lily care so much about Mrs Lawson? They were about to question Lily, although it was too late she was already out the door.

Running faster they could hear sirens, both praying that they weren't one of a ambulance but one of a police car.
Reaching the entrance, they were met with their biggest fear, a man who could ruin them both.
"Ah, here comes the slapper and the druggie!"
Everyone stood confused as to who they were talking about, looking round they saw their head teacher and Deputy, the two most respected people in the school standing sheepishly at the stained glass.
Steph was loving this, finally some dirt on their ever so angelic headmistress and deputy.

The couple searching around the entrance checking to see if anyone got hurt. A sigh a relief left their lips.
"Stuart what do you want?" Asked Eddie, "Well turns out, your wife here, has already told the LEA that am not fit to build this new school and that am a danger around the pupils... Amanda does know the consequences; I made them very clear to her.
Now... Where's that brat, Lily Owen?"

Rachel again at her weakest the man knew how to bring her down. "Leave her alone! Please don't hurt her."
Pupils and teachers alike, confused as to why Mrs Lawson cared so much about this one girl.

Eddie's heart pounded faster as he noticed a girl walking towards the man, not any girl ... His girl, Lily.
"Lily get away from him," Eddie shouted running towards Lily.
Stuart lifting his gun from his pocket and pointing it towards Lily, "Blame your Mother for this."
"My mother, what does she have to do with this?" Lily stood clueless, she felt a arm grasp hers, turning around she was met with the sight of Mrs Lawson.
"Lily my dear, Am your mum." Rachel said to the young girl before her, a gasp leaving Lily and many pupils alike's mouths.
"It all makes sense now, how you knew about Waterloo Road, Melissa... A.R.F . Your my mum, Lily threw her arms around Rachel's neck holding her close to her.

"Aw, doesn't this look cosy..." Stuart snarled, "...Amanda we had a arrangement." "Noo, don't hurt her, please not my baby." Rachel pleaded with the man.
Lifting up his gun he pointed to his target.
