Chapter 40

Life was quite literally getting better and better as each day went by for both Jen and Tilly. Each day, falling in love more and more. The more trouble the pair have to go through with hiding away just makes the two if it's possible more powerful each and every time. Jen never ever thought she could even think about falling in love with someone so quickly after her previous relationship, at first she didn't really want to open herself to anyone, she just wanted to get away, get on with her job, and be good at it, but here she was risking it all for one young red-head, and she for one didn't regret meeting Tilly for a second.

Tilly hadn't yet told Jen about her going away with her parents, she hadn't even thought about telling her. The first thing she done was shower, jump in bed and she was out for the count as soon as her head hit the pillow.

Jen returned back from College to the O'connor household where yet again was full off arguments, this was a usual thing to come home to now, Jen knew Diane could be a pain sometimes but she didn't deserve all the abuse from Sinaed day in and day out, but still didn't want to get to involved with the arguments. Herself and Sinaed had got close lately and she knew, if she ever did get involved they'd be right back to square one. Excusing herself from the living room straight to the bathroom, shower and straight to bed just like Tilly. They needed it, both of them.

Obviously, the night they both slept all the way through no twisting and turning, completely in a deep sleep. Until 6am came and Tillys mother decided to wake her.

''Tilly, Tilly, Tilly'' her mother said over and over. Tilly could hear her, perfectly fine but she didn't like the fact off her mother being in her room at this time in a morning sounding like a broken record.

''Tilly have you seen your father's keys'' she asked.

''NO'' Tilly replied and her mother left.

If you are woken up early hours in the morning and asked a question the answer is automatically NO. Making herself comfortable again, turning her pillow over to the cold side and falling back to sleep.

Jen woke to the sound off her alarm, she finally felt fresh after a good night and a half sleep. Stretching herself out and jumping straight out off bed to get ready for another day of College ahead. Unknowing to Tillys news off going abroad for a long weekend. The time was definitely going to drag along for Jen, not so much for Tilly with her drinking, beach, having fun. It would fly for her, but that didnt mean she wouldn't miss Jen every second off the day.

Not long after Jen woke Tillys alarm soon went off waking her up instantly. Her feeling the same, she felt better for herself today, it didn't help the fact she would be leaving to be going to Spain tomorrow morning. She couldn't wait. The quicker she got this day over the better. Of course, she had to spend a couple of hours with Jen tonight, she didn't care where, but she needed to see her before she went away, that was for sure.

Sleep all day and party all night.

Tilly couldn't get the song out off her head for a second. It instantly reminded her she would be in Spain soon. Out all night drinking, sleeping all day with a hangover, regretting getting so drunk and then doing it all over again. Thats what a holiday was all about.

Sitting in the common room with Sinaed, Ruby, George and Phoebe and Tilly couldn't hold in her exitment. She really wanted to tell Jen the news first but they were all here now and all equally knew there was something Tilly was keeping away from them, she couldn't take the exitment from her face.

''I am going on holiday tomorrow, Spain'' Tilly squeaked

Everyone had the same jealous reaction, all wanting her to bring them something back as you do. Of course the lovely person Tilly is agreed straight away. Obviously the holiday fling got brought up but that was something Tilly made sure they knew wasn't going to happen at all. This wasn't about going on the pull, because she had the most beautiful woman all to herself when she come back home. If only they knew she thought. Everything would be so much easier, they wouldn't try setting her up every time they got the chance.

General Studies first, the whole group off the gang. In Jen's room, it was a lot easier to sneak glances when in Art because neither of her friends were in there, but General Studies they all sat together, and everyone knows how nebby Sinaed is, so there was no way Tilly was even risking texting Jen during the lesson. Tilly smiled loving towards Jen as the group walked past, to the back off the room and sat in their seats. There was one person missing though. Esther.

Ten minutes into the lesson and Esther arrived. Jen welcomed her with a smile, knowing everything she had gone through lately and told her to take a seat. Tilly noticing Sinaed and Ruby's glare towards her instantly, as well as George. There was a spare seat beside Ruby, until she placed her bag on it.

''Move your bag now Ruby'' Tilly piped up. This was not happening again.

Esther smiled, she knew who her true friends were. Tilly stood up from her seat and collected her work, still waiting for Ruby to move the bag for Esther, Tilly walked towards the chair, picked the bag up and moved it to the floor sitting in the seat so Esther could sit in between George and Pheobe.

''I thought all off this stopped Sinaed?''

With that Tilly didn't respond further, she wanted them to know she ment business this time. She was sick and tired off the two off them treating Esther like a no one along with George too. These were the two soft-hearted off the group and both knew fine well, if they knew this side to their friends before, they'd never off became friends, ever. They were bullies, that was it.

Jen could see the anger in Tilly, something she found very hot when she was angry with her, but knowing it was about Esther she felt for her girl. She too was sick off these two getting away with treating her like shit. It wasn't on, and she'd already been to Mr Keeler and he still, hadn't done anything about it.

Finally the dreadful lesson off sitting in between two spiteful bitches was over, Tilly only hoped she could have spent more off the lesson looking at Jen, but instead she was checking and checking to make sure Sinaed wasn't being funny with Esther. Luckily, her head was faced forward throughout the whole the lesson, that one thing Sinaed didn't like. Being caught out.

''Esther, Tilly can I speak to you when everyone has left please?''

Tilly and Esther stayed sat down in their seats while everyone else left the room. Jen wanted to speak to Tilly just because she could, but wanted to make sure Esther was ok, make sure she wasn't going through this again.

''Hows things going Esther?'' Jen smiled

Esther smiled and nodded to let on she was doing OK which really wasn't the case. Nothing was happening at college so much anymore, all the doing was at home now when Ruby was around. Turning everyone against her but she didn't want anyone to know that, so she smiled, head held high and left Jen and Tilly to it.

''Was thinking we could do something tonight?'' Jen asked.

''Yeah, I'd like that I won't see you till Monday I'm going to Spain tomorrow morning'' Tilly smiled.

''What? How come you never told me?'' Jen asked

''Chill out Jen, I only found out for myself yesterday. My parents booked it up everything is already packed and ready to go'' Tilly explained.

Tilly left to get to her next lesson and Jen was left with a free period. She really didn't know what she was going to do without seeing Tilly for 5 days. She couldn't exactly ring and text her all the time, it would cost a fortune, and more than that she couldn't really expect Tilly to sit around and talk to her all day when she was on holiday. Jen was going to miss her, she knew that, but she also knew they could make up the time as soon as she was back.

So she just had to make the most out off tonight, and prove to her lover how much she really is going to miss her.
