Heres a short update hope you like. I know that Xscape is not in Rochdale, its in Glasgow, but its such a fun place, so for the purpose of the fic, its in Rochdale. This chapter is not great, just a little filler until I can get to the good part, which I will try and write tomorrow.

Things for Bella were a little better, the weekend was here, and Bella was off to Max's she wasn't looking forward to it, now she knew what to expect, but she knew she would see her Mummy again in just 2 sleeps, but 2 sleeps was forever to her.

Bella and the girls in her class got on a bit better, they included her at playtime, and talked to her, but, they only did it when they knew teachers were around, when they were away from any grownups she was ignored again.

This made her upset, but she decided just to try and bear it.

"Bella honey, why don't we go do something special tonight?" Eddie asked, trying to cheer her up, he didn't know how to approach her about the bullying, but knew she needed to have some fun, she had spent all her free time studying.

"It's OK Daddy, I just want to stay in"

"Oh, well I thought we could go to Xscape, go bowling and then to the amusement arcade" Rachel said.

Bella loved Xscape, it had so many fun things under one roof, although she was just not in the mood, she knew they were trying to help, so she agreed to go.

It wasn't long before Rachel, Eddie, Michael and Bella were there. They had a fun night of bowling, followed by the 4 of them going on the dodgems, Michael had a go at the football game, and Bella, went on the climbing wall, and of course they had sent to visit the ski slope, with real snow.

"Did you have a good night?" Rachel asked

"Yeah, it was nice, Rachel, what happened today, it wasn't Katie's fault, she just does what Zoe says"

"Zoe, who is she?" Rachel asked

"Michaela White's little sister" Michael answered, which caused Rachel to roll her eyes, She sounded just like her sister.

"Ah, Zoe White, I did meet her on the school visit" Rachel said.

"Katie thinks if she does what she says, then she'll be her friend at Waterloo Road, and no one would dare to pick on Zoe, or her friends because everyone is scared of her sister"

It was all making sense to Rachel now, maybe she should give Sally a call, let her know whats going on.

"OK Love, I'll sort it" Rachel said.

"Em, how are you going to do that?" Bella asked.

"Don't worry love, I will, now lets get some ice cream and then home to bed" Rachel said.

The next night, Bella was a little happier, she had got a call from Katie, who said she would come to her sleepover after all, and from a few of the other girls in her class including Emily, now, she hoped things were going back to normal. What she didn't know though, was that Rachel had been to visit Mrs Harrison, and told her all about Zoe.

Jane was getting ready on Saturday night for her date with Dale, she was nervous, and a little worried, but excited at the same time, it was her first night out since the whole drugs bust, she had of course been out for Uni and the likes, but she hadn't been out at night, and was in need of some time away from everyone else.

"Jane, can I ask you a question?" Bella asked

"Yep sure, what's up"

"Well why have you moved back in with us, I mean you and Dale, you haven't fallen out, cause he's still your boyfriend?"

"We just had a little fall out, that was all"

"Michael said you took drugs, but I knew he was lying"

"Well, he wasn't lying, but you have to promise that you will never ever take drugs" Jane explained "They are not good for you, and are illegal"

"Why did you take them then?"

Jane shrugged "Don't know, it's hard to explain, but promise me you won't ever do it"

"Promise, I won't ever drink, or take drugs, or smoke, it's all bad for you"

Jane Smiled, "Good, now come on in and help me with my makeup".

Smithy picked Jane up later, and they went out to dinner before she ended up back at his place, where they spent the night.
