Thanks for all your lovely reviews
Sorry it took so long, I was hoping to have it up last week, but things have been a bit hectic, and the real Hollys been sick.
I don't own Waterloo Road.
This chapter contains scenes of a sexual nature, so be warned.
A few weeks had passed, Aimee had gotten over her week of detention, and seemed to be in trouble with almost every teacher at the school since, Rachel and Eddie weren't happy that Earl seemed to have a hold over Aimee, Mel seemed unconcerned, al Teenage girls have boyfriends was her view on the subject.
Paul and Holly were getting on great, they had went out at the weekend to see a movie, although Holly couldn't remember much of the movie, they had spent so much time making out.
It had been an eventful few weeks for Eddie, he had proposed to Mel, Aimee wasn't happy with it, it was bad enough her Aunt being the headmistress, but her stepfather being the deputy head just rubbed salt into the wound. Philip on the other hand liked Eddie, it was good for him to have a good male role model in his life.
It was Monday morning, Holly was ready for school slightly depressed that the amazing weekend was over. She ran down the stairs, dumping her bag at the door and checking out her hair and makeup in the mirror in the hall. "you look fine without Makeup" Rachel said kissing her daughter on the head. "Fine, if you take yours off, I'll take mine off" she replied back, knowing full well that her mother won't leave the house without it. "All right, point taking". Rachel left the house and Holly followed into the car. "Once more into the breach" Holly said as Rachel started the car "Are you reading Shakespeare, I didn't think Henry V was on the curriculum" Rachel replied back. "It's not, for school, I just wanted to read it". Rachel was impressed, it wasn't the normal teenage read.
They soon arrived at the school, earlier than usual, Holly met Paul and they went off to Breakfast club, the school inspector Ria Cheetham was coming tomorrow for the annual inspection, Rachel hoped that the new extended learning centre would impress.
Rachel was in her office when Philip knocked on the door. "Hi Rach", "Hay Phil, are you OK?" she asked her nephew. "Not really, can I tell you something Rach, I just don't want Eddie to be hurt". A concerned look grew on Rachel's face. "All right love, what is it?" she asked. "Mum's, still married" he blurted out "to my Dad" he added. Rachel looked at Phil, that can't be true she thought, Mel wouldn't do something like that, he knew she was forgetful, but you can't forget to get divorced. "Are you sure Phil?" she asked her nephew "I'm sure, I just don't want Eddie to get hurt". "All right love, don't worry, I'll talk to your mum OK". "Thanks Rach" he replied feeling a weight had been lifted from his shoulders.
Later that day Rachel confronted Mel, who wasn't too happy at being ambushed by her sister. Mel managed to get Rachel to believe that she was going to tell Eddie and get a divorce between now and the wedding in a few weeks, but for the moment, the two weren't talking much and trying to avoid one another.
The next day the inspector was coming, Rachel, Eddie and Mel were meeting at 8am. The 3 of them were in Rachels office with the kids when Ria arrived. "Ria" Rachel said shaking her hand "I'd like you to meet Melissa Ryan, head of extended services and of course you know Eddie Lawson". Ria shook both of their hands before looking over to the 3 children. "I don't think you have met Holly before," Rachel said pointing to her Daughter "This is my Daughter, and this is Melissa's twins my niece and nephew Philip and Aimee". Ria smiled at them. "So Kids you can go now" Rachel said. "Before we go, we were just wondering, can we stay at yours tonight" Phil asked his Aunt "Yeah we just want to give Mum some space now shes engaged" Aimee added. "Sure you can?" Rachel said, she was happy that she would get to spend some time outside school with her niece and nephew. The three of them left for registration
First stop on Ria's inspections were Eddies year 11 maths class. She had heard so much about the infamous Earl Kelly and was looking forward to meeting him.
Holly sat next to Paul as usual, and Aimee next to Earl. "All right, settle down everyone" Eddie told his class, "now today Miss Cheetham is here from the LEA to do our annual inspections". The class looked round at her, and then ignored her. "So lets continue our lesson from yesterday, can anyone start by simplifying the following equation 2x + 5y + x - 3y?" Eddie looked around the class for any hands, he noticed Paul and Holly writing notes to one another on a note pad, she looked at Aimee and Earl, Earl had his hand under the desk on Aimee's knee"
"Earl, keep your hands to yourself or the two of you will be split up" Eddie said "now does anyone have the answer" there was still no reply from the class. "Holly, Paul, pay attention" Holly looked up to her Uncle to be. "Sorry Sir" she replied. " Do you know the answer?" he asked Holly "3x + 2y" she replied confidently.
Eddie continued with the rest of the lesson without any incident.
Soon it was Break time, and Rachel was about to show Ria around the school. The bell rang signalling the end of Break, Rachel and Ria continued with the tour.
Earl and Aimee went to the eco garden that Rachel had organised the year before after Mikas green phase. They started to make out, Earl took Aimees hand and moved it to the zipper of his trousers. "Earl" she said pulling away from him "I don't want to do this". "Don't you love me" Earl said convinclingly "if you do, then you know what you have to do" She knew what he wanted her to do, and she didn't know why, but Earl had a control over her where he was able to make her do exactly what he wanted. She unzipped his trousers, he pushed her down to the ground and she opened her mouth. The bell rang, but neither of them cared.
Rachel decided to show Ria the Garden, they walked round and both woman were shocked by what the seen. "AIMEE!!" she shouted. Aimee looked up, and seen her Aunt with the school inspector, she was in for it now she thought. "I can explain" Aimee said as Earl just laughed. "Aimee go to the cooler, Earl my office, now" Rachel shouted at the out of control teens. Aimee moved from Earl towards her Aunt, with a look of horrible mortification on her face. Earl took her hand and pulled her towards him. "I think Aimee wants to stay with me, finish me off". Rachel was not pleased. "Aimee, what do you want to do," she said looking her niece in the eyes. Aimee was conflicted, she didn't want to get into anymore trouble, but she wanted Earl to love her, and she may as well get hung for a sheep as a lamb. "I'm going with Earl, we love each other" Aimee said to her Aunt, she knew Rachel wouldn't like it and was waiting for the look of disappointment in her face that she had grown to know recently. "Your coming with me even if I have to drag you in, now INSIDE!" she shouted at her niece. "And as for you young man, I want you in my office now".
Rachel was mortified, as she followed the kids inside with Ria behind her. Earl went into her office "Joyce" Rachel called for her Administrator "Can you please get me Miss Ryan, Mr Lawson and Rose Kelly". Joyce done as she was told, Rachel and Ria were outside her office with Aimee "All right Aimee, cooler now" Aimee walked away "I'm really sorry about that" she said to Ria "Rachel, from what I have seen so far, the school has had much improvement, I know Earl has been a problem student, and I don't expect you to have found a cure for teenage sexual activity, now I know Aimee is your niece, so I'll get on with my inspections let you deal with this". Rachel smiled, at least all wasn't lost, she still had a chance to impress. Mel came into the office with Eddie quickly behind "Rachel is everything OK" Mel asked looking at her worried sister. "No, Mel, Aimee shes been bunking of with Earl again, and this time they were a bit closer than I would have liked"
"Is Aimee in your office?" Eddie asked "No, in the cooler, I don't know what to do about the pair of them" Rachel said. "For goodness sake, Rachel they are 15, nearly 16, give them a break" Mel said. "Mel, your daughter was giving Earl a blow job, on school property she was caught by her headmistress and the school inspector, I don't have much choice but to suspend them both" Rachel ranted uncontrollably at her sister. "Your going to suspend her, your own niece?" Mel asked. Eddie answered the question for her " Mel, we don't have much choice. We can't treat our kids different from the rest of the school".
Rachel, Eddie and Mel went into the office where the Earl was. "Do you realise how much trouble the pair of you are in" Rachel said. "La La La La La" Earl sang, showing he didn't give a dam about school. "Earl, I have tried, but I can't help you anymore, you were exposing yourself on school property, and that behaviour was totally inappropriate, I have spoken to your Mother, and to the LEA and I have to expel you" Rachel said to him. She had the lowest rates for expulsions than any other head teacher of the school, but Earl was a special case. Rose was waiting outside to take him home, of course she was angry, she loved Earl, but she knew Miss Mason had given him chance after chance, and now, the only option for him was to go to a special school specifically for bad behaved children.
Rachel went to the cooler, Aimee was sitting alone at one of the desks. "Lets go to my office" Rachel said to her niece. Aimee walked in and seen her mother and Eddie both sitting. "What happened to Earl?" Aimee asked. "He's been expelled" Eddie answered "Aunt Rachel, you can't expel him" Aimee cried. Rachel glared at her "Young Lady you should think yourself lucky your not in the same situation, but continue down the route and believe me you will be"
"Rachel, don't you think your over reacting" Mel said "No, I don't, now I'm going to give you an in house suspension, do you know what that is?" Rachel asked her niece. It was something she had started recently, basically it would be recorded on Aimee's school record as a suspension, but she would come to school early, go to the cooler and stay their for the entire day, instead of her staying at home where she could watch TV or play games, or worse sneak out with Earl. "No," Aimee said "Well, you come to school for 8.30 go to the cooler and get home after detention at 4.15, you do not leave the cooler without a teacher escort".
Aimee sighed, this was gong to be the worst week ever, the bell rang and Eddie had to leave for a class as did Mel, who seemed rather uninterested. Aimee and Rachel were left alone in her office. "Aimee do you know why I'm so angry" Rachel added, she just nodded at her Aunt " What you done today was serious, I can't begin to tell you how disappointed I am, you're a smart girl Aimee, but recently your behaviour has been shocking and appalling" Aimee looked down at her feet away from the glaring eyes of her Aunt.
Aimee had had enough for the time being, Rachel thought she needed some time to think about her behaviour. "All right, on you go off to the cooler" Rachel said. Aimee looked up to her Aunt she loved her, and she knew that her Aunt cared for her, she was strict, but Aimee knew deep down that she needed a firm hand. She walked to the door, but before leaving she turned to her Aunt "Aunt Rachel, can I still stay at yours tonight?" she asked. Rachel looked up from the paper she was writing on "Of course you can Darling, your always welcome at mines". Aimee felt a little easier knowing she hadn't ruined her relationship with Rachel.
Lunch time arrived and Aimee was still in the cooler, Rachel and Ria were in her office going over her inspection points, so far she was please with the progress of the school, She knew this school had a diverse student base which was always going to be challenging.
Holly and Phil, had no idea what had went on earlier, they both knew Earl had been expelled, some people were saying Aimee had been too. So they decided to try and investigate, they text Aimee, but she didn't reply. The walked up the stairs to Rachel's office and knocked on the door.
Holly went in first, she seen her Mother and the inspector sitting on the sofas. "Mum, have you seen Aimee, we can't find her anywhere and she wasn't in Science or Domestic Science?" Holly asked her Mother "Yeah and Earl was missing too" Philip added worriedly. "She's suspended" Rachel said "Why, what did she do" Holly asked nosily "You'll find out later, now why don't you go get some lunch" Rachel instructed the two cousins, who left the room doing as they were told.
The bell rang signalling the end of the day, Phil and Holly both had choir practice, and Aimee was in detention. Rachel waited till detention was over and went to get Aimee from the cooler, she walked into the room just as the kids were all packing up. "Are you ready?" Rachel said to Aimee "Yeah" she replied whilst dropping a book into her bag. "Your Mum and Eddie have went home already, we'll go get your stuff for tonight".
Rachel and the 3 kids left school and went to Mel's house. Phil and Aimee had already packed bags and had then waiting at the door. Rachel went to the bathroom and Mel was out with Eddie, leaving the 3 kids alone. "So, what did you get suspended for?" Phil asked his twin sister "Bunking off" Aimee replied "You don't get suspended for bunking off" Holly replied, "you must have done something worse" she added. "Look just leave it" Holly stated "I don't want to talk about it" she screamed at them. "A wee bit touchy I think" Holly said. Aimee glared at her cousin.
Rachel came out of the bathroom "Right kids, lets go" she said as she headed towards the door.
Rachel made dinner for the kids, Aimee had been really quiet, she wasn't talking to anyone, whilst sitting at the table her phone rang, she looked at the text it was from Earl, asking her to go out, she really wanted to. "Who was that?" Rachel asked worrying that it was Earl. "Aleesha, she asked me to go to hers and watch a DVD, Danielle's going too" she lied hoping that her aunt would let her go. "Why didn't they ask me" Holly said sadly. Rachel knew it was a lie, she had spent years working with teenagers and could read them like a book. "Well I hope you said no," Rachel said. Aimee was mad, she had no right to tell her what to do, at school it was different, she was headmistress then, but she wasn't her Mum. "Im going to go, I really want to see the film". Rachel stood up and cleared the plates from the table. "Aimee, your staying in tonight" Rachel reiterated. Aimee stood too" That's not Fair!, your not my Mum, you can't tell me what to do!" Aimee screamed at her Aunt.
Rachel stood next to her niece, "Your staying in, if you even think about going out you'll be sorry, now go upstairs and start your homework" Rachel scolded firmly. "And I'll take your phone" she added. She handed her phone to her aunt, "God, I may as well be a prisoner" she shouted as she ran upstairs.
Rachel sighed, and continued to clean the kitchen. "Mum" Holly said "What's going on?" She asked. Philip looked at his Aunt for answers too, Aimee usually told him everything, but in the past few weeks they had been drifting further apart and he hated it. "It's not for me to tell you" Rachel said "But I will tell you that Aimee is in a lot of trouble and is lucky to still be in School at all". This only made the 2 kids more curious. "Why don't the pair of you go start your homework?" Rachel suggested, both kids walked upstairs to do as they were told.
A few hours later Rachel decided to check on the kids, she first went to Aimee's room. She knocked on the door before going in. "Aimee, we need to talk?" Rachel stated, it was something they both knew they had to do. "Aunt Rachel, I'm sorry about today" Aimee said apologetically. "I'm worried Aimee, your still young, and what I witnessed today frightened me". Aimee was embarrassed still, but she loved Earl. "I know, it was wrong, that we did it where we were, but I love Earl, and he loves me too". "I'm not disputing that you love Earl, but your too young to be doing that, and I know your not ready for it".
Aimee knew she was right, she didn't want to do it, and she didn't particularly enjoy it. "I didn't want to do it, Earl said I should if I loved him". Rachel put her arm around her niece; this seemed more like the truth. "If he loved you, he wouldn't make you do anything, but wait until your ready". She knew this made sense, but she just loved Earl, he had a hold on her and he knew it. "Mum said it wasn't a big deal, she said you made a mountain out of a mole hill". She was furious with her sister, this was a big deal. "What do you think?" she asked her niece, "Do you think I overreacted" she added. Aimee thought for a second "No, I thought you would have been angrier, I know I deserve what I got, anyway Mum's really flighty nothing is ever a big deal to her" Rachel knew this was true. "It's getting late, why don't you get some sleep" Rachel added before going to check on the other kids
