It was Friday and Eryn was at school early. She was looking forward to going the university. This week had been hard, she had told Gabby what had happened but she had her sworn her to secrecy. Hannah was still off school after what happened at the hospital and Danny had been excluded from school. She arrived at school and went to the school mini bus. She went and stood next to Gabby and they quickly went on the bus. She sat next to Gabby and they went on her ipad. They soon arrived at the university and got out the bus. First they went into a massive lecture theatre and they were told what was going to happen.

First they went into a room, they had to put on a lab jacket, goggles and gloves. The first thing they had to do was do chemical reactions and clothing tests to see if they could work out who the murder was. They then had to DNA tests to work out. Eryn and Gabby got right into it. They worked on this for nearly 3 hours. They then went to a table and had to do a report on what they have found out and had to show where everyone was in the house when the murder happened and who the murderer was.

They had worked really hard and were confident they had managed to get most of it correct. Then it was lunch. They went back to the lecture theatre and got their lunch before getting taking to the canteen.

Eryn sat down next to Gabby.

"Are you not eating anything" Eryn asked and Gabby shook her head.

"Come on, you need to eat something." Eryn said and

"No, it's fine. I'm just not hungry" Gabby said and she just drank her lucozate lite. Eryn decided to just leave her alone. After lunch they had a guest speaker who did some chemistry experiments which was entertaining. They then went up to a lab and had to make the colours of a PH Scale. The girls enjoyed this one the most. It went quickly and soon it was time to go back down to the theatre. They went to their seats and another guest speaker was called.

"Now speaking is Doctor Zoe Hanna" The teacher said.

"Shit, it's my mum" Eryn said whispering to Gabby.

"You better pull your skirt down" Gabby said laughing, Zoe did a speech about the medical profession. She then got 5 people to come to the front. She went and grabbed Eryn and 4 other pupils from 2 different schools. She laid Eryn on the ground and told 2 of the other pupils to lie on the floor. She showed them what to but told them not to actually do the chest impressions just to pretend. She then showed them the recovery position and the students on the stage copied. Zoe then let them go back to their seats. She talked for a bit longer about CPR and the recovery position. Then she finished and the teacher came forward. They were going to announce the winning school and they were to come to the stage. There was 14 schools at the competition and they were placing only 1st.

"The winner of the Murder Mystery Chemistry Competition is Holby High School" The teacher said and Eryn, Gabby and the other 3 people in their team went up. Zoe had to give them their certificates.

"Well done, Eryn" Zoe said as she gave Eryn her certificate. They then had to go to the side and stand while the PH Scale Competition winners were announced. Just after Zoe had given them their certificates, Eryn looked over at Gabby to see her turn pure white. Suddenly she felt Gabby fall, she caught her.

"Mum!" Eryn shouted. Zoe looked at Eryn and noticed Gabby. She ran over to Eryn and gently placed Gabby on the ground. She checked her airways which was fine and then propped Gabby's feet up so the blood could get to her head. Gabby then started to come around.

"Gabby, its Zoe. You've fainted but you're going to be okay, just stay like this for a couple more minutes before moving" Zoe said softly to Gabby. Zoe was on her knees next to Gabby's head. She was stroking her hair.

"This is so embarrassing" Gabby said.

"Hey, it's okay" Zoe said. They stayed like that for a bit longer and then Gabby got up while supported well by Zoe. They got outside the room and the teacher went and got a drink for Gabby.

"Gabby, do you know why you fainted?" Zoe asked and Gabby shrugged her shoulders.

"When did you last eat?" Zoe asked.

"Em, this morning" Gabby said.

"Didn't you have lunch" Zoe asked and Gabby shook her head.

"Why not?" Zoe said sitting down next to Gabby and Gabby shrugged.

"Please tell me, Gabs. There must be a reason." Zoe said.

"I'm too fat" Gabby said

"Oh sweetie, you're not. What made you think that?" Zoe asked.

"Mum said she isn't going to let me fly unless I improve my attitude at home but I know it's because she thinks I'm too heavy" Gabby said.

"Sweetie, you are certainly not fat. You fly amazingly. I'm sure your mum doesn't think that" Zoe said. She sat with Gabby until Alisha arrived. She then stepped outside with Alisha.

"What happened, is she okay?" Alisha asked panicking.

"Yeah she is fine. She just hasn't eating" Zoe said.

"Oh that's not like Gabby." Alisha said

"Yeah, I know. I think you'll need to talk to her. She told me she was too fat and that you weren't letting her fly unless her attitude improves but she thinks it is because she is too heavy" Zoe said.

"Oh god, I didn't mean it like that. Things have just been really difficult at home and Gabby is a little madam at the moment. I can't cope with Gabby and Malia on my own. Zoe, I don't know how you manage" Alisha said.

"What, don't you have JD?" Zoe said.

"No, we've split up for a bit. We needed space apart" Alisha said.

"Oh, I didn't realise. I'm so sorry" Zoe said

"Oh, it's fine" Alisha said.

"How are the girls taking it" Zoe asked.

"Malia doesn't seem to really notice and is just getting on with it. Gabby, I don't even know. She is refusing to talk about it" Alisha said. Alisha and Zoe talked for a bit longer and then Gabby left with Alisha. Zoe stayed until the end of the speeches and then took Eryn home.

"Is Gabby okay?" Eryn asked.

"Yeah, she just hasn't eaten a lot today" Zoe said.

"Oh okay. Is that it because she has been acting weird all week" Eryn said.

"Well, kind of but I can't tell you what she said. It's up to Gabby if she wants to tell you" Zoe said and Eryn nodded.

They arrived home and Eryn and Lucy went and got ready. Zoe left and took Lucy to cheer she then came back and made Eryn some tea. They then left and went to cheer. When they arrived Eryn went into the other room to warm up and do some tumbling with Gabby.

"So are you okay?" Eryn asked Gabby as they warmed up. Gabby nodded.

"What's up? You haven't been yourself all week" Eryn asked.

"It's my mum and dad" Gabby said.

"How what's happened?" Eryn asked.

"They've split up" Gabby said and then she started to cry.

"Oh it's okay" Eryn said giving Gabby a hug.

"Mum said it's just going to be for a bit for them to have a break and then they are going to try again" Gabby said.

"That's good then. My mum and dad aren't together either but I still see them both and I love them both" Eryn said.

They talked for a bit longer and then tumbled for about 20 minutes before going through wait for dance to start. Eryn walked over to Zoe and sat down while Gabby went over to Alisha who just pulled her into a massive hug.

"Is Gabby okay?" Zoe asked and Eryn nodded.

"She just got a bit upset talking to me about her mum and dad and that" Eryn said and Zoe nodded. Eryn then went to Dance. Dance went quickly and it was soon finished. They went home and Lucy went for a shower first.

"Did you know about Alisha and JD" Eryn asked and Zoe nodded.

"Alisha told me when she picked Gabby up" Zoe said and Eryn nodded.

"Gabby's finding it really hard" Eryn said.

"I thought she would. She is so sure they are going to get back together and be completely fine" Eryn said.

"I really hope she doesn't get her hopes up" Zoe said and Eryn nodded. Then Eryn went up the stairs to have a shower and Lucy game down the stairs.

"Hey Luc, you okay?" Zoe asked.

"Look at the bruise on my knee" Lucy said showing it to Zoe.

"Oh no, what happened?" Zoe said pulling Lucy onto her knee.

"I hurt it in PE" Lucy said.

"Oh baby, what did you do?" Zoe asked.

"I got tackled at football and fell onto my knees" Lucy said.

"Oh no" Zoe said giving Lucy a hug.

"It's okay, I wasn't crying. It wasn't that bad" Lucy said and Zoe laughed.

"I think you're just a really brave little girl" Zoe said tickling Lucy. Lucy squirmed in Zoe's arm.

"Mum, stop please" Lucy said laughing. Zoe stopped and held Lucy close. Eryn then came down the stairs and then all snuggled up and watched the TV.

"So Eryn, did you enjoy the chemistry thing" Zoe asked.

"Yeah it was really good. I can't believe you did the speech. Why did you make me go to the front and lie on the ground" Eryn said. "It was so embarrassing"

Zoe laughed

"Sorry, Eryn, but I needed someone who would let me do it to them and I knew you so I just picked on you." Zoe said.

They talked for a bit longer and then Lucy moaned that she couldn't hear the TV because of them so they shut up. The continued watching the TV before they left and went to bed.
