Bianca left Aaliyah's house quickly, she had nothing else to say. Aaliyah headed towards the sofa, wincing as she lowered herself onto it. Aaliyah knew Bianca wasn't just saying these things to be horrible; she genuinely cared about what happened to her friend. Bianca didn't want to see Aaliyah ruin her reputation as a teacher. Or get sent to jail.

Aaliyah knew how she felt about Casey; she didn't want to lose him. But she also knew if she continued her relationship with him, then Bianca would tell Gina, and if that happened she could risk losing Riley.

Aaliyah sat and thought about it for a while, before finally taking a deep breath. Aaliyah knew exactly what she had to do. As much as she loved Casey, she wasn't about to risk losing her son. She had to break it off with Casey.

Johnny pulled up into the same car park he had taken Scotty to the week before. He looked at his watch, he was a little early. As he looked up he noticed the car he was waiting for pulling up next to him. Johnny quickly got out of his car and walked over to the man who was approaching him. It was Scott. "What have you got for me?" Johnny asked sharply. "Not a lot" Scott replied nervously. "Dylan's playing his cards pretty close to his chest. How's Ali doing?" Scott quickly changed the subject. "Yeah she's good, better than good actually; I'm gonna be a dad again. Aaliyah's pregnant" Scott grinned at Johnny's announcement "Oh man, that's awesome, Congratulations mate" Scott smiled hugging his friend in a manly sort of way. Johnny responded with a smile and a nod.

Johnny knew Aaliyah wasn't pregnant; this was all part of his plan to put Scott to the test. Johnny wasn't an idiot. He had known Scott most of his life, and he knew when he was lying.

Aaliyah was still sat staring into space, she had no idea how she was going to tell Casey she couldn't be with him any more. He had texted her twice since she had been home, Aaliyah just ignored them. As Aaliyah started to think about ways to break up with Casey, her thoughts were interrupted by a sudden knock at the door. Aaliyah recognized the voice instantly. She stood up and hurried, as quickly as her injuries would allow, towards the door. As Aaliyah opened it she was greeted by a very excited little boy. "Mum" he cried as he ran at her, throwing his arms around her causing Aaliyah to flinch. "Take it easy buddy, you're mum is still in a lot of pain" Heath finally spoke up "He's been dying to come over all morning" He laughed. Aaliyah smiled as she put her arm around Riley and ushered him into the lounge. "Are you coming in?" Aaliyah asked turning to look at Heath who was still stood in the doorway. "Nah, I've gotta shoot. Am going to fetch Darcy" Heath said as he turned and left.

As Aaliyah sat down beside Riley, she heard a Buzz. She picked up her Iphone and read the message. It was another one from Casey- Please don't shut me out Ali- Aaliyah's heart skipped a beat; she still had no idea what to say to Casey. The thought of hurting him killed her. But she had no choice. Aaliyah had no intention of losing her son. "Who was that mum?" Riley's curiousness had snapped Aaliyah back to reality. "No-one sweetie!" Aaliyah replied putting the phone back on the table. "I bet you're hungry" Aaliyah grinned; she knew Riley was always hungry. Riley answered with a huge cheeky grin. "What do you want? You can have anything you like?" Riley's grin widened at his mum's suggestion. "Ice cream" Riley yelled excitedly. Aaliyah laughed as she headed over to the freezer.

Heath had been to collect Darcy from her Gran's, they were now on this way back to Heath's house. "Dad can we go and see Riley when we get back" Darcy asked, she was eager to see her friend. "Er…I'm not sure Riley's mum will feel like it Darce" Heath replied concentrating on the road. Heath noticed the disappointment on his daughters face. "I'm sorry sweetie, but Riley's mum only got home from hospital today" Heath explained hoping his daughter would understand. "Yeh I know, she got beaten up by some nasty men" Darcy replied innocently.

Darcy's reply had confused Heath, how could she have known about Aaliyah getting beat up. He hadn't said anything to anyone who could have told her. And he knew she hadn't been in contact with Riley. "How do you know about that?" Heath questioned curiously. "Scott told me" Darcy's answer shocked Heath. As he approached the turn off for their house Heath continued, he was now heading to Angelo's, he needed to talk to Brax.

"Dad, what are we doing here, I thought we were going to watch a DVD" Darcy groaned as she followed her dad up the stairs and into Angelo's "Stop moaning Darcy, I want you to tell Uncle Brax what you just told me" Heath snapped pushing Darcy in front of Brax.

Brax was sat at an empty table doing his accounts; he looked up and saw the young girl looking at him. "Hey Darce, what's up?" Brax asked softly. Darcy looked nervously at her Dad "Its ok sweetie, just tell Uncle Brax who told you about Aaliyah getting attacked" Heath said as he put his hand on Darcy's shoulder reassuringly. "Scott" Darcy now had Brax's full attention. "He talks to me at school…" Darcy was interrupted by an angry expression on both her Dad and Uncle's faces. "It's ok though, he's a friend of Riley's" Darcy quickly added as she looked at both men nervously. Brax didn't respond he just grabbed his phone and disappeared off into the kitchen. Darcy was worried "Daddy, have I done something wrong?" Darcy asked curiously. Heath's anger vanished instantly "No baby, you haven't done anything wrong" he answered quickly, trying to reassure her. "Then why is Uncle Brax so mad". Heath looked down at Darcy "He's not angry with you sweetie".

Aaliyah and Riley had worked their way through an entire tub of ice cream. They were sat cuddled up on the sofa watching Toy story 3, when they were interrupted by a knock at the door. Aaliyah reluctantly stood up and hobbled over to the door. Standing there was Casey "We need to talk" He demanded as he walked into the lounge, barging straight past Aaliyah. Before Aaliyah had chance to protest Riley got up and hugged hey Casey "Hey Casey" the little boy sung excitedly. "Hey mate" Casey replied giving him a quick hug, before Aaliyah interrupted. "Riley, can you go and play in your room for a bit, I just need to have a word with Casey". Riley huffed loudly "Mum it's the best bit" he responded pointed towards the television "PLEASE RILEY" Aaliyah snapped. She regretted raising her voice to him as soon as she saw his little face drop. Riley quickly hurried away, disappearing into his room. Aaliyah turned her attention back to Casey. As she looked into his eyes she realised she wasn't ready to tell me yet. But she had no choice; she took a deep breath to speak. Before she opened her mouth Casey spoke first "You've been avoiding me" he snapped. "What the hell did she say to you?" Casey's voice had risen slightly. "Keep your voice down" Aaliyah said nodding towards Riley's bedroom. "Bianca said she wouldn't tell Gina about us…As long as I break up with you" Aaliyah could see the distress spread across Casey's face. "Please tell me you're not seriously thinking about it" Casey cried in disbelief. "I've got no choice, Casey if Bianca does tell Gina, and she decides to go to the police, I could lose Riley" Aaliyah pleaded, she wanted Casey to understand so badly. She reached out to grab his hand, but Casey just yanked it away. "After everything we have been through, I can't believe you would just give up on us so easily" He yelled before storming off. "Casey, please" Aaliyah sobbed as she watched him disappear.
