A/N: thanks for the reviews glad you all enjoyed the last chapter. Two chapters until chapter 50 which I think is awesome :). Sorry its been a while had writers block. (I know Pete was gone at that point but I need him for a later chapter) This chapter Niamh finds out a secret about George, sixth form drama and Niamh takes over Cheryl's part of the club when Cheryl work load gets too much.

Over the next couple of days Niamh spent time with Esther (she had thanked Brendan for his input many times) and went to sixth form. She was sat in the office in the club reading through the rotas. She liked to do that time to time and then she would suggest it being changed round with the people that were paired together. She never wanted Jacqui and Rhys on the same part of the bar so she usually put them on different bars. Brendan came in and sat down opposite her. He took the rota out her hand.

"I was reading that" said Niamh
"I have a delivery for you to do" said Brendan. Niamh looked at him nodded. She loved it when she did the deals for Brendan. It was exciting and she loved not knowing what to expect.
"I am all ears" said Niamh smirking at Brendan as he put the package on the table.
"Your taking these to a squat at the end of town, the address is on the piece of paper" said Brendan. Niamh nodded and put the package in her coat pocket. Niamh grabbed the paper and left the office quickly.

XOXOXOXOXO

The walk to the squat was longer than she anticipated made her wish that she could drive. Saying that it weren't to bad a walk it was just a bit of a walk to get there. Niamh got to the squat and knocked on the door three times. That was written on the piece of paper the address and how they want her to deliver the drugs to them. A man with two hats on his head answered the door.
"You got what I want" asked the guy. Niamh nodded showing him the package smirking. He seemed a bit out of it swaying sideways on the spot.
"Yeah money please" said Niamh. The guy let her in and beckoned for her to follow him. Niamh followed at a distance. She stopped at his room door, he handed her the cash and she gave him the drugs.
"Pleasure doing business with you sweet heart" said the guy. Niamh got in his face.
"Don't call me sweet heart" said Niamh darkly pushing him a little bit, she didn't like patronising behaviour just because she was female and young she was better than any male doing a drug deal and she was way better than people that claimed to have experience of it, Patrick always used to say she was the best out off everyone at it and Niamh never understood why she had taken to it so naturally. She turned away and walked towards the stairs to get out. She got to the top stairs.

"Look out!" shouted George who was at the end of the corridor. Niamh turned round and ducked as the guy with two hats took a swing at her. Her duck didn't go so well so she ended up head butting the banister of the stairs but she avoided being pushed down the stairs which was a main thing. She pushed the guy against the wall.

"Pull a stunt like that again and I will kill you, do you understand?" said Niamh dangerously and loudly. The guy backed off and went back into his room, Niamh rubbed her forehead and looked at George. What was he doing in a squat? It looked worse than a drugs den a lot worse. Niamh carried on looking at him. He looked like he wanted the floor to swallow him up in embarrassment. She felt for him so much. He looked so vulnerable.
"I can explain" said George.
"Do you live here" asked Niamh. George nodded sadly. She was surprised he hadn't bought up the reason why she was in the squat.

Niamh carried on looking at him. Before she could say anything or make an excuse to why she was there the guy with two hats came through again distracting her from what she was saying he looked stoned, that was quick work. He walked straight into the wall. Niamh couldn't help but laugh he was a funny stoned and they were the best type of stoned.
"Bring me some next week, same time, I am on top of the world, sorry about my random moment of anger I was just a bit angsty it has been a while was starting to withdraw, I'm going to cook chips, oh look a pink elephant" said the guy slurring before staggering down the stairs. George glared at her and Niamh knew that her cover was blown.
"Your a drug dealer" said George sounding angry Niamh shushed him quickly covering his mouth doing her best to be less intimidating adding desperation in her voice.
"You can't talk you live in a squat, just shush okay, I'll keep quiet about your living here, if you keep quiet about this" said Niamh quickly. George nodded and Niamh moved her hand. They sat down against a wall and just talked. Niamh listened as George poured his heart to her. He told her he was being bullied so he ran away from his life and changed his name. Niamh rubbed her forehead again it was hurting from banging her head.
"You okay? You should get that checked out" said George. Niamh shook her head and put her head on George's shoulder.
"I'll be fine just need to sleep it off, you need anything and I am shout away okay" said Niamh putting her number in to George's phone. She then got up and left the squat.

Niamh walked back to the club with her mind active with thought. She wanted to help George in some way or another because she didn't think it was fair he got drove away from where he could live without having to have the stresses of being homeless. She got the club and went straight in to the office. Brendan looked up at her as she walked.
"About time too, you took a while" said Brendan. Niamh nodded and put the money on the table.
"It was a guy that was withdrawing and was desperate for drugs, just a quick one, went for me and I dodged him but I head butted a stair banister in the process" said Niamh missing out the fact George found out about the drug dealing, she wasn't sure how Brendan would react to him knowing.
"Get yourself home okay, here's your money" said Brendan. Niamh nodded and Brendan gave her the money for the deal she had just done.
"Thanks, see you later" said Niamh. She then walked out the office and back to the flat.

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

Over the next couple of days Niamh kept her eye on the group dynamic at college and she also kept her eye on Cheryl's side of the club. She didn't take over but she kept an eye things. Brendan was completely against the idea of Niamh taking over Cheryl side of the club unofficially Cheryl had suggested it again and it had caused Cheryl and Brendan to argue for ages. Niamh decided it was best if she just kept on eye on things for now. Niamh and the rest of the class were sat in English waiting for the teacher to come in. Niamh was texting Esther while they waited. Niamh was going meeting Esther after this class as it was was the last one off the day and it was a Friday. The teacher came in and Niamh was surprised to see it was Pete, why was he teaching her lesson he was the head teacher not the teacher. Niamh put her phone away and picked her pen up.
"Settle down now guys" said Pete. Niamh tilted her head to the side a little bit.
"Where's Mr Richmond?" Asked Callum.
"He is off sick so you have me today, also I wanted to let this class know that I am no longer the head teacher, I am now deputy head of the sixth form, anyway you've been set to read the book, so get started" said Pete. Niamh accepted this and sat back in her chair. She didn't even realise he was still around she was sure he was back in Ireland.

"Are you sure you are capable of teaching English, being foreign" said Maddie. Niamh laughed out loud of how dumb that comment was.
"Mr Hamell is from Belfast which is Northern Ireland which is still apart off the UK" said Niamh slowly like she was talking to someone really dumb because that is what a comment like deserved.
"What accent is yours then" asked Neil. Niamh didn't mind him he seemed okay a bit bonkers but he was okay.
"Dublin, my accent is Dublin with a hint of Belfast because my mum came from there" said Niamh turning round to look at him.
"Get on with your reading, quiet in the corner" said Pete. She turned back around and picked up the book and started read it.
"So your accent is southern Ireland and that's not apart of the UK, does that mean you have a visa" said Johno. Niamh turned round again, was that serious question, was Johno that actual stupid. Niamh turned round again to look at Johno.
"Wow, Ruby isn't with you for your brains, is she?" said Niamh. She turned back round again and started to read her book again.
"If you lot continue I am going to move one of you" said Pete. Niamh looked at him and nodded.
"What makes her so clever, anyway, walking around her like she's better than everyone else" said Johno. Niamh smirked, he was petty but Niamh just smirked and carried on with her reading.

"Must run in her family you know walking around pretending their better than everyone else" said Maddie. Niamh kept her cool she weren't going to rise to the bait.
"Not the only thing running in the family, according to Ruby, Niamh is going out with Esther" said Johno.
"No way shut up, it must run in the family" said Maddie. Niamh hands turned in to fists of the mention of her family life, they had no right. They didn't know her that well and they had no right to judge her full stop. She checked the time on the clock on the wall. It wasn't too long until the end of the day.
"Who's coming out later" Asked Johno.
"I can't I am going straight to work after college" said George.
"Don't you think you should change I wouldn't want to be served by a hobo" said Maddie. Niamh turned round and glared at her. That dig wasn't necessary what so ever. Who needed enemies when they had friends like her? She was a nasty piece of work. She needed bringing down a peg or two.
"At least he doesn't dress like he's giving it up for free but when it comes to it goes frigid" said Niamh. Maddie got up and Niamh got up at the same time. She was taller than Maddie so she wouldn't be intimidated.
"Want to say that again" said Maddie. Niamh nodded and went to open her mouth to say it again but before she could speak Maddie swung at her Niamh dodged and pinned her against the wall.
"Stop it now!" said Pete. Callum pulled Niamh off of Maddie. Niamh hated being moved about so she struggled to get back to pinning Maddie against the wall. "Niamh calm down" said Callum. Niamh stood still and then went to walk out the room.
"Not so fast, I'll let that slide, you can all go now" said Pete. Niamh walked out and marched straight to the school gates. She waited there seething she hated Maddie so much she was such a bitch and she didn't deserve friends. The bell went in the proper school and she waited until Esther was in sight. She smirked and when Esther came over to her she hugged her.

XOXOXOXOXOX

Niamh and Esther were sat in the office of the club. They were sat on the floor Niamh was propped up against the chair at the desk and Esther was sat in between her legs. Niamh had one arm round Esther's waist and one hand was holding up the order form. It didn't look right, it looked like Cheryl had only ordered for the week but they had to order for the month. Niamh sighed valentines day was coming up and as it was the busiest day in night club history they needed to be stocked. Cheryl came in to the office looking frazzled.
"Aunty Cheryl is everything okay" asked Niamh. Cheryl jumped she must of not seen her and Esther enter the office. Niamh looked at her and she sat down on the sofa looking at them.
"No I am so tired at the moment, I am frazzled, I can't take it any more" said Cheryl. Niamh sighed and Esther moved so Niamh could get up with the order form.
"Calm down, go home run yourself a hot bath and I'll manage the place" said Niamh.
"Are you sure, what about your night with Esther?" said Cheryl eyeing up Esther who was starting to get up off the floor.
"She can stay in the office with me, we could get some movies up on the laptop, I'll fix your order as well" said Niamh. Esther nodded agreeing to watch a movie in the office. Niamh wrapped an arm round her shoulders and kissed her on the cheek.
"Thank you, enjoy your night, don't do anything I wouldn't do" said Cheryl winking at Niamh, Niamh smirked and watched Cheryl walk out the room and she then grabbed Esther's face gently kissed her.
