Rachel was in her class when she glanced out of the window, she seen Holly rushing away from Michaela, and wondered just what was going on, but she didn't mind that they had fallen out, she was actually glad, after all Michaela was a bad influence to her daughter.

A few moments later, and they were sitting in the class, Michaela knew something was stirring, was it coincidence that Holly had stopped taking drugs, right at the same time the Van was raided. She didn't think so.

"Bolton, Paul, do you wanna go to the Whitenoise gig tonight?" Michaela asked, they had all talked about going for the past few weeks.

"Don't know" Paul said, looking over at Holly, "Holly's grounded"

"Aww, is Mummy mad at you" Michaela mocked.

"Paul go if you want, I don't want you to miss out and Michaela, FYI, its none of your business"

Rachel could see the kids talking, she let it go for a few seconds, in hopes it would fritter out and they would get on with their work, but when it hadn't she decided to step in.

"Is there something you 4 would like to share?" Rachel asked in trepidation, she had an uneasy feeling about what was going on.

"No, Miss" Paul said, Rachel turned her back to walk away "Well get on with your work then" she added as she went to sit down at her desk.

"So Paul you going" Bolton whispered "I'll see if I can get out of cleavers training" he added, just as Rachel had decided she had, had enough.

"Do you 4 want separated, because that's the way your headed" she said.

Once the school day was over, Rachel met Aimee, Philip and Holly ready to go home, just as Paul approached the car.

"Holly, if you don't want me to go to this gig with Bolton and Michaela, then I wont" he said.

"Nah, it's Ok, you go enjoy yourself" she said gloomily, Rachel felt slightly sorry for her, but there was no way she was letting up.

"Are you two not going to this gig" she asked Aimee and Philip, who both looked at her.

"No chance" Philip said, "not my scene"

"Me either" Aimee said, in truth she would have loved to have went, but none of her friends, were going, Danielle and Aleesha weren't so she wouldn't either.

"OK, lets get home" Rachel said, as they got into the car.

Paul got ready for the gig, and left his house, he was meant to be meeting Bolton and Michaela at the bus stop, he was first to arrive, followed by Michaela who ensured Paul that Bolton would meet them, but later, explained that he had been stuck with Mr Cleaver.

Paul felt a little awkward at first, with just him and Michaela, but they soon relaxed. It wasn't till later in the night that Michaela had began to flirt with an oblivious Paul, and a while later when the were kissing in a corner booth of the small hall.

Paul felt guilty, he could lose his girlfriend and best friend unless Michaela kept her big mouth shut, but what were the chances of that.

…..

"Michaela, please can we keep this to ourselves" Paul said he hoped she would after all it would be of benefit to them both, neither of them wanted their respective partners finding out.

"Why Paul, you scared of what Bolton will do to you, he could easily take you on" Michaela whispered. She wasn't sure she loved Bolton, in fact, she knew she didn't she was only with him for convenience, and if she could have Paul, well that would be better, she wanted him, and it had been her plan all along to get Holly in trouble.

"No, it's not that, it's Holly, I love her"

"You love that pretentious little cow" Michaela spat angrily as she got on the bus.

"I think I do" Paul said as Michaela kissed him, but unbeknown to both of them, Bolton was on the bus, on his way home from training, and he was not happy in the slightest, he could feel his tempter boil, and at Paul as well, the two of them had been best friends for so long.

"What the hell are you doing man" Bolton shouted as Michaela stood up.

"Bolton" Paul shouted, Michaela was now in between them and Bolton pushed her to the side, where she fell on top of an old lady who was coming home from visiting her wee old friend in hospital, and was visibly frightened by what she seen as loutish behaviour by teenagers.

"Bolton, Stop" Paul shouted, but was too late, Bolton had given him an almighty right hook.

Before they knew it the driver had thrown the 3 of them off the bus. Paul was worried, and decided to text Holly, but forgot that she had no phone. Bolton done the same after he had left the two of them together, not before telling Michaela that they were over.

Bolton decided he would call Aimee to get a hold of Holly, when he got through he told her of what had just happened.

…

Holly was shocked, was Bolton lying, she didn't think he was he seemed too upset to by lying. She was in her room, lying on her bed trying to think about what to do, she had already decided that it was over, she and Paul were no more. But at the same time, she did really love him. The door to her room opened.

"You finished with my phone?" Aimee asked.

"Yeah" Holly said, as she turned her back to Aimee, she didn't want her to see that she was crying and upset, she had to sort this out for her self. Just then, there was another knock at her door.

"Holly, your phone it's been ringing constantly for the past half hour, does Paul not know that you don't have it?" Rachel asked.

"Yeah Mum, he knows" she said her voice breaking as she spoke.

"Do you want to call him sweetie, find out what's going on?" Rachel asked "Just this once though" she added.

"No, I don't want to talk to him, I mean, he's probably still at the gig, and his phones in his pocket, must be an accident"

"Well whats wrong honey" she placed her hand reassuringly onto her shoulder.

"Nothing Mum, just got a sore head, can I just go to sleep please".

Rachel nodded, and kissed her head, before leaving the room with Aimee behind.

"Aimee what is going on?" Rachel asked when she was sure that Holly was out of ear shot.

"No Idea" she replied back, Rachel nodded, before asking Aimee to try and keep an eye on her, something was up, and Rachel could sense it.
