Eddie and Rachel are just Friends at the moment, keep reading and you'll see what happens.

Rachel walked into her Class room, she was not in a good mood today, she was tired and disappointed in her daughter, Holly was normally so trustworthy, but the past few days she was really testing Rachel's patience, and it was about to get worse.

"All right Class, Books out, and Homework on the desk" Rachel told her class

Holly got her History folder out her bag whilst Paul done the same in the seat next to her. "Shes going to kill me" Holly said to Paul

"Just say you left it at home" he whispered

"Yeah, cos when I get home and she wants it, it won't be done, will it"

"Well I dunno" he replied glad he had at least answered the questions

"Let me copy yours, quickly" she said

"I never thought I would see the day, you copying my homework" he said whilst handing her his book.

Rachel took the register and Holly tried to quickly do her homework. When the register was taken, Rachel started to collect the homework, she quickly came to Holly and Pauls desk.

"Holly, what are you doing?" Rachel asked when she seen her daughter copying out Pauls answers.

"Nothing, just checking something" she said, as Rachel took her workbook from her. She could clearly see, that Holly had barley started her Homework, and that what she had done, was copies spelling mistakes and all from Paul.

"This is not acceptable, lets just add this to the list of things we need to talk about" Rachel said to her daughter angrily, and continued with the class.

They school day was finally over, Holly left detention, and met her Mother at her Car, her cousins, had went out to town with some of the other kids from school, they were all going to see the new twilight movie"

"Right, lets get home," Rachel said to Holly, just as Eddie came out.

"Rachel, can I drop by yours tonight and pick up my things?" Eddie asked

"Yes, why don't you bring a bottle of wine, I could do with it after they day I've had, You can have dinner with us."

"Sure, why not" he said smiling, it beat sitting in the house doing nothing.

Rachel drove her daughter home, the drive home was silent, Holly had her Ipod in, and wasn't in the mood for a lecture from her Mother. She parked the car in the driveway, and Holly got out of the car quickly and walked into the house. Rachel sighed, she had never felt so distant from her daughter, she knew it was normal for teenagers to act like this, but she and Holly had always been so close, and it hurt her that Holly was acting like this. Rachel walked into the house, and Holly was already in her room, she walked upstairs and knocked her bedroom door, Holly didn't answer, so Rachel walked in.

"All right Young Lady, you and I need to have a little chat" Rachel said as she sat on her daughters bed.

"Look Mum, I'm sorry, it won't happen again" Holly said.

"Do you think I was born yesterday, it's not like I haven't heard that before" Rachel said.

"What do you want me to say then, I did something wrong, what about you, you have done things you shouldn't have, way worse things than what I did" Holly said.

"That is not fair Holly, I did what I did to survive, besides, we are talking about you here, not me" Rachel said.

"It just seems a little hypocritical, that's all I meant"

"Do you know why I did what I did" Rachel said

"No" Holly said.

"I did it, because I had no where to live, no money, no job, and no family at the time, Aunt Mel was still at home with Dad, Mum was dead and I had no one, My Father didn't want me, he didn't care about me, I could get up to whatever I wanted, and got into a lot of trouble, and I don't want that for you, so I'm sorry if you think I'm too strict, or that I'm just trying to stop you having fun, but I love you Holly"

"OK, I'm sorry, you didn't tell me this before, how was I to know"

"I didn't tell you because I didn't want you to get upset, it was a hard life, and I want you to be happy"

"I promise, I'll be good, I don't like to make you angry with me" Holly said.

"And I don't like being Angry with you, but what you have done the past couple of days is just not acceptable, I do not tolerate violence, especially fighting with children you have never met before, I didn't bring you up to be a thug"

Holly looked down and nodded.

"And what was going on in class today, why was your homework not done?" Rachel asked

"I had too much homework yesterday, and I thought you would still be away, so I could do it tonight"

"So, the homework you done last night, did you get that all yesterday?" Rachel asked.

"No, it was mainly a French Essay, Miss Haydock asked for it last week"

"So, you left it to the last minute" Rachel asked

"I guess I did" Holly said.

"Your Grounded Holly, 2 weeks, and that means, I want your mobile, I pod and you can only use your laptop for homework, do I make myself clear"

"But Mum, you don't have to do that" Holly pleaded "I promise I'll be good"

"I'm Sorry, but you need to be taught a lesson, and learn that your actions have consequences".

"Fine" Holly said, she had never been properly Grounded before, just sent to her room or given a timeout, the closest she had been was when she ran away, and all Rachel did then was try and keep her close by, she was still allowed friends over, and she got to keep her phone and things.

Rachel went down to make dinner, and Phil and Aimee came home, Rachel was glad that Phil had taken his sister to the pictures, she loved the first twilight, and it took her mind of everything that happened the past few days.

"How was the Movie?" Rachel asked as she came in.

"It would have been better if we didn't meet Earl Kelly on the bus home" Philip said.

"Are you OK Aimee" Rachel asked

Aimee nodded, but Rachel could tell she wasn't fine.

"I'm OK," she managed to say

The door went and Philip went to get it, he wasn't surprised when he seen it was Eddie, he knew him and Rachel would be good together.

"Hi Eddie, Aunt Rachel is in the kitchen" he said before running upstairs.

Aimee set the dinner table for her Aunt, whilst Eddie came into the kitchen.

"Good Evening" he said, "This smells wonderful" he added.

"Aimee love, can you go and tell your brother and cousin that dinner is ready"

"Sure" Aimee said and ran up the stairs.

"So, how is Holly, I take it you read her the riot act" Eddie asked.

"Yeah, she's never been in trouble like that before, I don't think she will be a problem again" Rachel said.

Soon, the were all eating Dinner in the kitchen.
