Song lyrics taken from Jay Sean – Do you remember (y)
It was a few hours after everyone had arrived and they were all enjoying the party; Eddie had come in a shirt with black braces, black suit trousers and smart black loafers. Rachel and Kim both arrived in LBD's showing off their fabulous figure's.

"Where's Christopher then?"Steph grinned as she stood by Rachel's side.
"He couldn't make it unfortunately"
"Yeah i bet it's unfortunate" Steph whispered under her breath.
"I beg your pardon" Rachel replied not catching her sentence, then realising what she said.
"I'm sorry Steph but what exactly are you implying?"
"Ow come on Rachel we all know you and our little deputy are an item"
"Uh, Steph not that it's any of your business anyway but i'd just like to correct you in saying we are not an item"
"Really" Steph looked a little shocked she was sure she saw all the signs of a relationship.
"Damn" She then added thinking about the £20 she now owed Grantly and walking off.
Rachel watched on at her student's they all looked so happy with not a worry in the world unlike in school where they were disruptive and always causing trouble somehow.
"Ite miss" Bolton smiled as he grabbed himself a drink
"Hey, yeah, you having a good night so far" she smiled
"Yeah you?"
"Mm Hmm"
"You've got an admirer init miss" Bolton nodded towards the figure leaning forwards in his chair swirling his drink around, talking to Tom Clarkson whilst now and then catching glances of the women now stood with Bolton Smiley.
"Mr Lawson" Rachel pretended to be slightly shocked "I don't think so"
"He can't keep his eyes off ya init miss, ya see I'm like a love detective i can just sense these things" Bolton smiled causing Rachel to chuckle slightly at his sarcastic words.
"And anyway i know about last year, Phil needed to talk to someone init and it's not like nobody knew anyway"
Rachel didn't reply she just simply gave him a faint smile.
"I think you should give him anotha shot yea, Lawson's a top man he's like that dad i neva had"

I've been thinking about you
And how we used to be then
Back when we didn't have to live we could start again
There's nothing left to say
Don't waste another day
Just you and me tonight
Everything will be okay
If it's alright with you then it's alright with me
Baby let's take this time let's make new memories
Do you remember do you remember do you remember
All of the times we had
Do you remember do you remember do you remember
All of the times we had
Let's bring it back

"Smiley you don't mind if i take Miss Mason off your hands?" Eddie smiled listening intently at the lyrics of the song.
"Na you go ahead boss" Bolton winked
Eddie held out his hand which Rachel took and led her on to the dance floor and placed his hands on her waist which caused her to drape her arms over his shoulders.
"You look stunning tonight Rach" Eddie smiled.
"Thank-you" Rachel blushed slightly she suddenly felt 15 again "You look nice tonight to"
"I mean it, you look beautiful"
Rachel grinned from ear to ear, they revelled in the presence of each other until the song finish ended reached down and they were about to lock lips when Eddie's phone went off.
He sighed and pulled it out of his trouser pocket siding it up as he did so.
"Oh Rach I've gotta take this it's Michael"
"Okay" She reached up and pecked him on the cheek.
"Hey mate you alryt?" Eddie asked walking out of the hall, enthusiasm filled his voice.
"Daddy! Yeah I'm fine where are you daddy?"
"I'm at a school party mate"
"Who with"
"Just the kids and teachers that go Waterloo Road"
"Is Rachel there" He asked curiously
"Yeah she is" Eddie smiled walking outside and facing the doors
"Can i speak to her, please please daddy"
"She's not with me at the moment mate, you can speak to her at the weekend yeah"
All of a sudden Eddie felt this sharp, searing pain shoot through his body; he dropped his phone and looked down at his left hand side to see blood staining his shirt. He stumbled slightly before falling to the ground and hitting his head on the steps, his vision blurred as he saw the headlights of a car turn on and drive off and the sound of distant music slowly drifting away as he slipped into unconsciousness.
"Daddy, daddy are you still there ... mummy i don't think daddy's there anymore?"
"Hello, Eddie ... Eddie?"
'CALL ENDED'
