Caroline awoke she felt like shed had no sleep, although their early night had not exactly gone to plan, she leant over and let her head rest on Kate's stomach. Nothing made her happier than moments like this, she heard Kate yawn as her hands stroked Caroline golden hair "morning". Caroline turned to face Kate a flirtatious smile across her lips "morning gorgeous", they lay together for some time before the alarm finally went off and they were forced to detangle their naked bodies from the relaxed position which had so comfortably been adopted Under the covers.

As Kate pulled up in the school car park in her car alongside Caroline, Kate smiled at her once more then got out of the car once more wishing Caroline a good morning and Caroline returning gesture. Before Kate turned and became Kate Mckenzie who would stay professional and allow Caroline to do the same.

As Kate walked the halls she came across Lucy "hi miss, the weekend was amazing, bet you two were glad to have some time without us all around Maybe we could do the same and catch up later". She smiled innocently and walked away, Kate standing still a little stunned was she just blatantly flirting with me?". No she told herself it's just her enjoying the fact she knows more about my private life than she should.

Caroline's eyed the clock again it had been nearly 5 hours since she had seen Kate, she had tried to think of an excuse to pop and see her, but she had so much work to do after being away all weekend it hadn't managed to happen.

Finally the last bell of the day rang and Caroline gave the paperwork up as a bad job waiting for Kate to come and find her. Kate sat behind her desk shuffling rough the last essays she would have to mark, when she heard the door open. Looking up smiling she thought she knew who would have come to find her, "hi sexy" she looked up eagerly to be disappointed by Lucy standing in the door way " oh sorry Lucy, sorry thats I was waiting for..." "It's fine" she smiled.

"Lucy what can I do for you it's the end of the day?" She asked a little awquardly "umm i just wanted to see if maybe you could help me with my entrance essay for Oxford it's got to be written in French and Latin and I wanted to check with you I'd done the best I could".

Kate smiled "of course, tell you what leave it with me and I'll have a read then we can go through it at another time". The girl in front of her beamed in gratitude "Thanks miss your amazing" she handed the piece of paper to Kate and kissed her cheek, Kate froze her eyes met Lucy's. " Lucy look.. This isn't..." Before she could finish Lucy had gone from her room, She sat her head foggy what ad just happened what was she going to do Caroline had been right about her fancying me but now what.

Caroline fed up of waiting for Kate to find her packed her things up and headed to her room "I was waiting for you!" She smiled moving in closer to where Kate sat. Kate looked up that beautiful smile and couldn't help be drawn to her beautiful face, allowing their bodies to be held together. "Shall we go" Caroline almost whispering, Kate nodded "we going to yours?"," I don't mind" Caroline said relaxed at last. "where ever you are I go" Kate nodded "well I haven't been home yet so.." "Ok, I'll meet you at yours then".

They followed each other down the residential streets until they pulled up at Kate's house, throwing open the door Kate sighed loudly. "Everything ok darling" Caroline asked concerned. "I'm just tired" they dropped their belongings and grabbing two glasses of wine, sat on the sofa it wasn't long before both were fast asleep nestled together peaceful.

"your bloody useless, Your pathetic I can't even stand to look at you I'm not dealing with you teenage antics and dramas" he shouted as his fist met her cheek leaving it streaking pink "understand" the voice echoed as the girl sobbed And nodded softly.

The girl nodding whilst tears streaked down her face "I'm sorry, I'm trying" he grimaced at her " well try harder" He slammed the door.

He ran his hands through his hair, his forehead red from his raised voice, he was tired and frustrated. Why was nothing ever straight forward...

Kate's phone woke her, "miss it's Lucy I'm sorry I don't know what to do, my dad has gone mental I'm scared of what he might do".

Kate stood up trying not to wake Caroline as she paced "what's the matter" Caroline asked drowsily "it's Lucy, I think she's in trouble but I don't know.." Caroline sat up "what?" She text me "why she got your number?" She asked almost accusatory "from the trip" Kate replied calmly "oh yes well ring her" Caroline suggested.

Kate dialed the number hearing it ring "Lucy?

"Miss Mckenzie can you come and get me in scared" Kate hearing the sobs from the teenager echo in her ears, she couldn't ignore it whatever other complicated issues may or may not be going on in the teenagers head.

"Ok where are you?"

"The bridge off the high street" "ok" she looked At her watch it was half 8 and dark. "What's happened?" Caroline asked now anxiously after watching Kate's face whilst she had been on the phone "I think her dads hurt her, she needs my help" Caroline stood up "our help, come on let's go get her".
