A/N- Hey you guys, well I haven't updated this story in ages and I know that in the drama things have moved on but not in this story ok :) Things are just carrying on from where I was :) IGNORE THE DRAMA :D No but seriously just forget you have ever watched it :)

A/N- This is going to be a short chapter just to show I haven't forgotten this story xox

A/N- Sorry that was a bit random

Chapter 3

"You found one?" Marley asked rushing up to his mum.

"Yeah," Rose said. She would have been pleased about it if it wasn't for the fact that she had to use her son's money to pay for it.

"Mum I've told you, it doesn't matter. Flick and me, we wouldn't have lasted anyway." Marley sighed. He knew they did have something special between them and it probably could have lasted. He couldn't think of that now though. He needed to do this for his family.

"I promise Marls I will pay you back," Rose said to him. She had tears in her eyes.

"Mum..."moaned Marley. He was fed up of her constantly trying to make it up to him.

"No, I will Marls. Go and get Sambuca and I'll show you the place."

"Fine," he said walking out of the kitchens.

When he got outside he found Sambuca talking to Flick Mellor outside. He rushed up to her and pulled Sambuca away.

"Oi, Marley get off me!" Sambuca shouted at her brother as he pulled her away from Flick.

"Sam, I told you to go to the kitchens. Mum's got us a new place," Marley urged. He wanted to keep Sam away from Flick just as much as he wanted Sam to go to see Mum.

"I'm going!" she shouted as she stormed off towards the kitchen.

"That was so uncalled for Marley," Flick said to him.

"What was?" he asked and why was she being nosey anyway?

"You then to Sambuca, just because you've shown quite clearly you don't want to talk to me anymore doesn't mean Sam can't"

"Urgh, you know what? I haven't even got time for this!" snapped Marley walking off after his sister.

"Yeah you just walk away!" Flick shouted and walked off in the opposite direction.

It was the end of the day when Donte caught up with Chlo again.

"Hey babes," Donte said to her running to catch up with her.

"Oh hey," she smiled.

"I've got something to tell you!" he said to her eagerly.

Chlo sighed. "Go on then."

"Well I know the DVD business didn't work so I've been thinking," he said. "And I've decided that I'm going to open something up selling car aerials."

"What?!" snapped Chlo. Was he mental?

"No babes, it's big business," he said trying to win her over.

"Bloody car aerials! No-one buys them Donte! You'll just waste all our money! No Donte, don't even bother!" she shouted at him.

"But babes listen!" he begged.

"I'm not hearing any of it," said Chlo and walked off in the opposite direction.

"Babes!" Donte pleaded as he ran after her but Chlo ignored him and carried on walking. Why did he always try to mess things up?

Back in the kitchens.

"Mum, Marls said we don't have to stay with Clarkson tonight." said Sambuca walking towards her mum.

"Yeah, I got us a place. We'll be off there as soon as I'm done here." Rose said.

"How did you get the money for it?" enquired Sambuca as Marley walked through the door. Marley heard Sambuca's question and was alarmed.

"Erm," began Rose looking at Marley for an explanation. Marley shook his head signifying that he didn't want Sambuca to know that his money was spent on the house. Although she already knew that Ralph had given him money that was the most he wanted her to know.

"Mum had it saved up," Marley said thinking on his feet.

"Oh," said Sambuca. She seemed perfectly happy to except that answer.

"I'll be about half an hour and then we'll go," said Rose. It was then that Candice walked over.

"You can go now love," Candice said to her. Rose had made a close friendship with Candice recently.

"Oh no, I couldn't leave you to clean up by yourself," said Rose. She hated being a charity case.

"Its fine, go!" said Candice urging Rose, Sambuca and Marley out of the door.

"Well, if you're sure then I suppose I could," mumbled Rose as she took her apron and hair net off. She picked up her coat and bag and walked out of the door.

"Thank Candice!" she shouted back on the way out. "Come on kids," Rose led Sambuca and Marley out of the kitchen and into the main school building.

"We'll just pick up Prince and then be out," Rose said as she walked down the corridor heading to the crèche.

Once they had got Prince they headed out of the school.

"What is it like?" asked Sambuca.

"Well I haven't actually been there myself yet but the estate agent said it was in a fit condition to move in today." Rose said.

"How many bedrooms?" asked Sambuca.

"Four," replied her mother.

"Awesome, how did you afford it? We were skint yesterday!" Sambuca laughed.

"Hmm, yeah I guess we were," Rose admitted.

"And now we're loaded!"

"Not quite,"

"Yeah but still we can afford a house. That's got to be a start. What you say Marls?" asked Sambuca.

"It's great," muttered Marley. He was still upset about Flick. He missed her so much. He wished he didn't have to do this.

A/N- So there you go :) As I said at the start is what kind of short I know. It's just to show you I haven't forgotten about it and I'll update it more regularly from now on.
