The family were in the car ready to go, it was a couple of hours to get to AltonTowers, but they knew they would get there early enough to make the most of their day.
"When we get there, we will head for Smiler and Oblivion first" Rachel said
"What, now way, I am not going on them" Aimee said
"Oh come on Aimee, don't be scared" Holly said
"Yeah, come on, it will be fun" Philip added
After hours of coaxing, and an hour in the queue Aimee finally went on to the Smiler followed by Oblivion.
The rest of the day they spent having fun on Air, Rita, Ripsaw, Nemesis and thirteen. The family had a fab time, but weren't so happy when it was time to go home.
"Mum, we can get a ticket for tomorrow for really cheap" Holly explained on the way out.
"Are you forgetting something, your grounded, remember? Today was a one off event" Rachel said as Holly groaned
"I know, I just don't want to go home yet, I had so much fun today" Holly said
"Yeah, thanks Aunt Rachel, it was so good"
"It was amazing, can't believe I was so scared, it was really fun" Aimee added.
They got back to the car, Holly and Aimee climbed into the back and fell asleep whilst Phil sat in the front next to Rachel.
"Thank you Aunt Rachel, today was amazing" Philip said again
"Your welcome love"
Once back in Rochdale they went to Pizza hut for dinner, Rachel parked in the town centre and they walked to the restaurant.
"Of all the Pizza huts, did we need to come to this one?" Holly asked
"Sweetie, they are all the same" Rachel said
"No, this is where Paul and I had our first date, I haven't been here since then" she added
Rachel placed an arm around her daughter, "Honey, you will have plenty more first dates, your only 15 there is plenty of time to meet the man of your dreams"
They went into the restaurant and were seated; they talked and laughed about their fun day at Alton towers, before their pizzas arrived.
A few moments later, the door to the restaurant opened and in walked Michaela and Paul. Holly couldn't take her eyes of them, as Michaela seemed to gloat that she was with Paul.
"Holly, ignore them" Aimee said.
Rachel and Phil had their backs to the door, but both turned round in unison to see Paul with his arm around Michaela.
"Didn't take him long did it?" Philip said as he was about to walk over and give Paul a piece of his mind
"Philip, leave it" Rachel warned.
"If that waitress gives them the table next to us then I'm out of here" Holly said as she glanced at on of the few empty tables
"We have just had a lovely day, and we are not going to let Paul Langley and Michaela bloody White spoil it, are we?"
"No" the 3 kids said in unison
"So now, let's finish our dinner and then get some dessert" Rachel added.
The waitress brought Paul and Michaela over to the table next to them, Michael was grinning from ear to ear.
"Little Grass" Michaela said loud enough for the them and the waitress to hear, but not the rest of the restaurant
"You wanna slap, slag" Aimee said as she stood in her cousins defence
"Ohhh, I'm scared, what's…." Michaela stated to say before she was cut off by Rachel
"That's enough, Aimee we will have none of that" Rachel turned to the waitress "It might be best if you found them another table, further away" she added.
The waitress took note, and moved them to the other side of the restaurant
"Its been a day, and Pauls already on a date with her" Holly said a tear starting to form in her eye
"Auntie Rachel's right, we don't want them spoiling our fun do we" Aimee said
They continued to eat their meal, but Holly's eyes seemed to be stuck on Michaela and Paul
"Holly, stop staring at them, why don't you go to the toilets and freshen up, get some slap on. If you want Paul back your going to have to fight for him"
Aimee was right, Holly left the table and walked to the toilets which were upstairs, she went in, had a quick wash and reapplied a little makeup. She opened the toilet door to find Paul had just exited the male toilets
"Holly, I'm sorry" Paul said
"Sorry for what, breaking my heart, cheating on me with that slag, then rubbing my face in it tonight"
"I didn't know you were going to be here tonight" Paul tried to say in his defence
"No, but I'd see you both in school, you didn't think of maybe waiting a few weeks before dating her, you made me look like a fool, and I don't even know what I did wrong"
"You didn't do anything wrong, you were great"
"Then why cheat on me, with her? I think you offer me some sort of explanation"
"Last night it just happened, and then it just felt right, like I should be with Michaela, Holly I can't explain it, but you and I we just weren't meant to be"
Holly ran downstairs to her family, her newly applied mascara running down her cheek.
"Mum, can we just go now please?" Holly pleaded as she got to their table where the waitress was taking their dessert orders.
"Sweetheart what happened?"
"Paul was at the toilets, he said he in Michaela were the real deal and he and I was a mistake"
"Can we just have the bill?" Rachel asked the waitress who went over to get it
They paid and started to collect their things to leave. They walked by the table Paul and Michaela were sitting at.
"Bye Bye cry baby" Michaela giggled at them as they left.
