Rachel now sitting back down on the uncomfortable plastic chair,sighing slightly as Eddie stood tall and proud on stage,fitting right into that role of speaking to a whole school. Eddie was shaking slightly,hiding it very well though,he knew he was about to pour his heart out in front of a whole school,at where he'd only been the head teacher for the week. Eddie and Rachel took a deep breath at the same time. Eddie now beginning to talk.
"I'm going to first talk about my marriage. I got married at the age of twenty one and a year later Michael was born, along with his twin brother Stephen,who sadly died of cot death a few months later. After that tragedy our marriage fell apart and we got divorced. But we're firm friends now. I realised that I didn't feel proper love towards her, I thought I did but it was more of a friendly love," Eddie glanced at Michael and they both shared a smile." And now I'm going to talk about the best relationship I have had." Michael by now had sneakily placed is hand on top of Rachel's,offering comfort and support. "She was twenty nine and I was thirty one. This women who infuriates me so much because she always thinks of everyone else before herself,is my best friend, my soul mate and the only woman I still love," he said sneaking a glance to Rachel,seeing the first set of tears form in her eyes and knowing that it's breaking her heart but she needed to hear. "This amazing woman came swarming in,taking the role of the head teacher,when I was supposed to have it,"this making Rachel giggle slightly,"the woman who helped me gain some custody of Michael,the woman who got an extension for this school single handedly,the woman who brought the whole community together,the woman who helped a teenage boy who wanted to drop out of school get his GCSE's and a-levels, the woman who helped Mr Clarkson and his stepdaughters when times were tough,the woman who kept a child illegally in the school until that child made the decision,the woman who got trapped in a fire making sure everyone got out of the school safety,the woman who talked a boy into giving her the gun he held,before he shot anyone,the woman who helped her sister no matter what,who took her nephew in,the woman who never sees anyone's faults,the woman who gives everyone a second chance,the woman who helped with fundraisers,donating a generous amount of her money,the school choir,the woman who stood in front of a digger to stop this school from being knocked down,the woman who helped a child in a court case,the woman who saved a child seconds before her father blew them both up in a caravan. I could go on and on and on. But more importantly this is the woman who has captured my heart,made me completely and utterly besotted and the woman who I fell in love with,"Rachel was in tears,so were many other women,but she was the only one that this was directed to and only a few people knew this. Eddie's voice had gradually got louder as the list went on,his voice becoming frustrated at what he had lost. The teenagers and some staff looked on completely dumbfound at him.
Eddie was quiet for a while as he paced up and down the stage,running his hand through his brown soft hair which had started to gain a peppered effect,"but then I buggered it up,before I even started going out with her. It all begun when the same amazingly beautiful headmistress rejected me on the first day back after the fire. I knew it was soon and that day was a hectic one,I just couldn't wait to tell her. It was too soon,she wasn't ready and the fire knocked her confidence back a bit. Them me being the prat that I am went for the next best thing,although that's far from it;her sister. It was a stupid,stupid mistake ,which I have regretted ever since. It got really out of control,I ended up proposing and we were going to get married abroad after a boxing match with a pupil. We broke up the same day,I found out she was a bigamist. That sister made me choose between herself and her sister who was the love of my life. You can guess who I chose." Eddie smiled sadly to himself. Eddie went and sat down on the end of the stage,this being the first time anyone had found out the full story.
