They'd been in Greece for a few days now and everyone was having a great time. Lexie was especially grateful to be there as she'd never been abroad before and felt so lucky.

Everyone was getting ready to go to the beach for the morning but Daisy was still sleeping. It was unusual for Daisy to wake up so late but she'd had a few late nights so it was understandable that she was having a bit of a lie in.

Rachel realised she would have to go and wake her as everyone else was waiting to leave, even if she did feel a bit mean doing it.

Daisy was fast asleep when Rachel went in so she went over and sat by her on the bed and gently started stroking her hair.

"Daisy, it's time to wake up" Rachel said but Daisy didn't stir

Daisy was in a really deep sleep and it took a while to get her to wake up. Once Daisy was awake she slowly sat up in bed before cuddling into Rachel. She looked all sleepy and really did look very cute.

"Sorry to wake you up love but everyone's waiting to go to the beach"

"What time is it?"

"It's 9:30"

"I never wake up that late"

"I know, you must be very tired after the late nights you've been having"

Daisy did a big stretch.

"That hair is going to take some brushing missus" Rachel said looking at Daisy's crazy bed hair

Daisy looked at her reflection in the mirror and started giggling.

"Anyway, are you ready to get up now?" Rachel asked once Daisy had woken up a bit more

Daisy nodded before getting out of bed.

"I'll rub your sun cream in and then you can put your swimsuit on"

"I need a wee first"

"Okay love, go on then"

Daisy started getting some pyjamas out as she'd only been sleeping in knickers as it was so hot.

"What are you doing?"

"Putting my pyjamas on"

"Just go as you are, it doesn't matter if someone sees you in your knickers and you probably won't see anyone anyway"

"Fine" Daisy said before rushing off to the loo

Once Daisy was sorted Rachel sent her down to quickly have some breakfast.

She then went to tell Olivia it was time to go as she was in her room.

"Liv, we're leaving in ten minutes"

"Okay"

Olivia had woken up not feeling too great so was hoping she would feel better soon as she didn't want to waste a day of the holiday feeling poorly.

Olivia picked up her bag before following Rachel downstairs.

Daisy had a croissant and some fruit for breakfast and once she was ready they all headed to the beach.

They found a good spot before getting all of their stuff out.

Olivia laid her towel out on the sand before lying down.

She had a stomach ache and it was really sore. She wished she'd asked Rachel for some paracetamol earlier as she didn't want to ask now in front of everyone.

They'd been there for about half an hour when Lexie and Mia decided to go paddle boarding.

"You ready to go paddle boarding now Liv?" Lexie asked

"Yep okay" Olivia replied as she sat up but she was actually feeling really rubbish

Olivia was going too and had been really looking forward to spending some time just the three of them but now she really didn't feel like it because she wasn't feeling very well.

"Make sure you're sensible girls and you keep your life jackets on the whole time" Rachel said

"We will"

"Please can I go too Rachel?" Daisy asked

"No you know it's just the big girls going this morning. I promise you can have a go another time though"

"But I want to go now" Daisy said sulkily

"The answer is no Daisy. Me and Eddie are going to take you and Michael kayaking another day"

Daisy was a bit disappointed to not be going but didn't put up too much of a fuss.

The girls headed down to where all the paddle boards were and hired one each.

They'd been doing it for about half an hour and Lexie and Mia were really enjoying it, even though they had ended up falling off quite a few times

Olivia on the other hand wasn't having such a good time. Her stomach was feeling even worse so she'd spent most of the time just sitting on her paddle board. She decided she didn't want to stay on any longer.

"I think I'm going to go back now"

"How come?" Mia asked "we still have another half an hour to go"

"I know, but I really don't feel very well"

"That's a shame Liv, shall I take your photo first though? We haven't taken any yet" Lexie asked

"Okay" Olivia said so Lexie took some photos on the GoPro

Olivia stayed for a few photos but then really wanted to go back.

"Do you want me to come back in with you?" Lexie offered

"No it's okay"

"We'll see you in a bit then"

Olivia took her paddle board back before heading back to where the adults were sat on the beach.

"How come you've come back early Liv? I thought you were hiring them for an hour"

"I've just had enough. Mia and Lexie are still on them"

Rachel felt a bit concerned so went over to speak to Olivia quietly, knowing she wouldn't want a fuss made in front of everyone.

"What's up Liv?"

"I've got a really bad tummy ache"

"Oh have you, that's a shame you've been really looking forward to going paddle boarding"

"I know"

"Do you want some paracetamol?" Rachel asked knowing Olivia's stomach ache must be really bad as she'd stopped paddle boarding early

"Yes please"

"I'll go and get some out of my bag, you wait there darling"

Olivia took the paracetamol and then she laid on Rachel's sun lounger.

Once their time was up on the paddle boards Lexie and Mia came back.

"How was that girls?" Angela asked

"It was so good. We really want to go again" Mia replied

"I kind of fancy having a go too. Maybe I'll come with you next time" Rachel said

"That is something I do not want to miss" Eddie said laughing

"What's so funny about me paddle boarding?"

"I just can't wait to see you try to balance"

"It can't be that hard" Rachel said but really she knew she was probably going to find it quite difficult

After spending the morning on the beach, they went to a restaurant for some lunch before heading back to the villa.

The kids all went in the pool but Olivia wasn't feeling very well still so laid on a sun lounger instead.

She ended up falling asleep for a while and when she woke up she wasn't in a very good mood at all.

Everything anyone said was winding Olivia up and she kept snapping. She was being a bit horrible to Daisy and even ended up having a fall out with Lexie, which was very unusual for the pair of them.

Everyone felt like they were walking on eggshells around Olivia.

Daisy was upset about her sister being mean to her so decided to ask her to go in the swimming pool with her hoping they'd have fun together like they normally did.

Daisy climbed out of the pool and went over to Olivia.

"Please will you come in the pool now Liv?" Daisy asked

"No, just piss off will you" Olivia said rolling her eyes

Rachel heard this and felt really angry.

"Hey don't you dare talk to your sister like that, or anyone for that matter" Rachel shouted

"Sorry" Olivia said although it didn't sound like she meant it one bit

"I think you should go and spend a bit of time in your room Olivia"

"Why do I have to do that"

"I just think you could do with a bit of time on your own"

"Why should I? It's my holiday too"

"Because nobody wants to be around you right now to be flaming honest" Rachel said

Olivia went off in tears after Rachel said this.

Rachel did feel a bit bad for saying what she had but Olivia's attitude had been awful all afternoon and Rachel had struggled to stay calm any longer.

"Sorry about that" Rachel said once Olivia was out of ear shot

"You don't have to be sorry Rach, I know exactly what it's like having a teenager, well nearly teenager" Angela said

"I shouldn't have said what I just did though. I'm going to go and check on her, see if there's a reason behind her terrible mood"

Rachel went up to Olivia's room and found her in floods of tears on her bed.

"I'm sorry for saying what I just did" Rachel said but she didn't get a response from Olivia

"It's just you have been in an awful mood this afternoon which is why I suggested you come up to your room to calm down a bit and have some space rather than taking it out on everyone else"

"Maybe I'll just spend the rest of the holiday in my room then if no one wants to be around me"

"No that's not what I meant and you know it. Look, everyone gets in a mood sometimes and that's fine but sometimes you need to realise that the best thing to do is to take yourself away for a little while"

"Fine I'll stay up here"

"Just try and have a nap or something and then come back down a bit later"

Rachel moved so she was standing next to Olivia.

"Everyone does want to be around you Liv, just not when you're biting everyone's heads off"

"Okay" Olivia said but she felt really mad at Rachel

"I'll see you soon" Rachel said before walking out

Olivia started crying even more once Rachel had left. She didn't understand why she was feeling like this.

Eventually, Olivia cried herself to sleep and didn't wake up for another hour.

When she woke up, she realised she needed the loo so headed to the bathroom.

Olivia couldn't believe it when she saw the blood on her bikini bottoms. She couldn't believe she'd come on her period whilst on holiday.

Part of Olivia wanted to go and get Rachel because she needed some pads but she felt too embarrassed after being so horrible to everyone earlier so didn't want to go down.

Instead, Olivia went back to her room, got changed and laid on her bed and started to sob again. She'd only had a couple of periods so it was still a really big thing for her especially with being on holiday.

Rachel realised Olivia had been up in her room for over 2 hours now so decided to go and check on her.

She felt so sorry for Olivia when she found her looking so upset. She looked so young lying there with tears rolling down her face.

Rachel went straight over and started stroking Olivia's back.

"Oh Liv, please don't cry. I didn't mean to upset you, honestly I didn't"

"It's my fault. I don't know why I was being so horrid earlier, I just couldn't help it"

"It's because of your hormones love, they're all over the place at the moment. I know it's horrible feeling like it but there's nothing you can do to control your feelings I'm afraid. Do you see why I suggested coming upstairs to spend a bit of time on your own now?"

Olivia nodded her head.

"Did you manage to have a sleep?"

"Yeah for about an hour. I feel awful for how I was earlier"

"It's okay love, we all have our moments sometimes. Why don't you come down and go in the pool for a bit?"

"No I don't feel like going swimming"

"Well just come and sit with me outside then"

"Can I go in the lounge and put a film on?"

"Of course you can, if that's what you want"

Olivia nodded her head.

"Come on then sweetheart" Rachel said before standing up

"Rachel"

"Yes love"

"Actually it doesn't matter"

"You sure?"

Olivia nodded. She wanted to tell Rachel about her period but suddenly felt all embarrassed about it.

"How's your stomach now?"

"Really hurting again"

"Do you want some more paracetamol?"

"Yes please"

Rachel and Olivia went downstairs and Olivia put a film on. She was surprised when Mia and Lexie came in a couple of minutes later to join her.

Olivia felt embarrassed to start with but she apologised and Lexie and Mia were really nice about it.

After the film had finished Angela called them outside to eat.

When Olivia stood up she noticed that she'd left a red patch on the blanket she'd been sat on so immediately sat back down again.

"Aren't you coming?" Lexie asked

"Can you just get Rachel for me?" Olivia asked feeling really worried

Lexie was confused but did as Olivia asked.

Rachel came straight in.

"Are you not hungry love is your stomach still really bad?"

"No well yes it is but that's not why I don't want to eat"

"Okay why don't you want to eat then?"

Olivia didn't say anything because she felt really embarrassed.

"Don't worry, nobody will say anything about earlier. It will be fine, let's go outside come on"

"No I can't" Olivia said before standing up and bursting into tears

Rachel saw the blood so realised what Olivia was so upset about now.

"Oh love did you get your period?"

Olivia nodded her head.

"Come on, let's go and get you sorted"

"What about the blood on the sofa? Everyone's going to see it"

"I'll put the blanket in the wash and no-one will know anything about it, don't worry"

Olivia followed Rachel up to her room.

"Right I packed some pads for you. You haven't had a period for ages now so I was kind of expecting you might come on while we're here, as annoying as it is"

"It's not fair. I won't be able to go swimming for ages"

"I know it's rubbish timing. I'm sure we can sort something so you can still go swimming though"

"I hate being a girl"

"Oh sweetheart, it will be okay. You go and get sorted, I'll wait here for you" Rachel said knowing Olivia would be nervous about going downstairs

Olivia went and got changed and put a pad on before returning to Rachel's room.

"You ready to go downstairs now?"

"I guess"

Rachel and Olivia went outside and sat at the table.

Olivia was feeling upset about everything still but started feeling a bit happier being downstairs with everyone.

After they'd eaten, they got cleared up ready to enjoy the rest of the evening.

"Me and Mia are going to go and sit up on the terrace for a bit Liv. Do you want to come with us?" Lexie asked

Rachel had told Lexie about Olivia's period so thought she could do with a bit of cheering up.

"I think I'm just going to stay here, thank you though" Olivia replied as she just felt like staying with Rachel at the minute

"Okay you know where we are if you change your mind though"

Lexie and Mia went up and sat on the terrace. There were fairly lights and they could see the sea from up there so it really was very pretty.

"What are you smiling at?" Mia asked Lexie who was looking at her phone

"Just Matt" Lexie said before putting her phone down

"How are things going with you two?"

"Really good actually. I'm already excited to see him again, it feels like it's been ages"

"Have you slept together yet?"

Lexie shook her head.

"No we were going to but with everything that happened to Jess, it kind of put me off"

"I get why that put you off. Matt seems lovely though and not a jerk like Ryan James"

"Yeah I know. We're just going to wait and see when the time feels right I think"

"You'll know when it feels right" Mia said

Lexie nodded but then thought about what Mia had said.

"Wait have you had sex?"

Mia gave a guilty smile and nodded.

"When? With who?"Lexie asked surprised because as far as she was aware Mia didn't have a boyfriend

"It was a couple of weeks ago now. Mum and Dad were both working and Ben came over and things kind of just happened"

Mia had been close friends with Ben since year 7.

"You're always flirting with each other, I knew you were going to end up getting together. Did it hurt?"

"Yeah quite a bit the first time and for like a day after but it doesn't hurt anymore"

"How many times have you slept with him?"

"Quite a few now" Lexie said laughing

"Does your Mum know?"

"No I'm sure she'll figure it out eventually" Mia said and Lexie laughed

"Are you properly together now or have you just got a friends with benefits thing going on then?"

"We're together but we're just keeping it quiet for now"

"I can't believe you didn't tell me before"

"I haven't told anyone. I couldn't really believe it happened to be honest. I know me and Ben have always been close but I didn't know he liked me in that way"

"I did"

"I think I'm going to tell Mum soon. She's just seemed really preoccupied recently"

"Is she okay? She's seemed really quiet and not herself at some points since we've been here"

Mia shrugged her shoulders.

"I was thinking that too. I know she's been fed up with how much Dad has been working recently but I thought she'd be better now that we're here and Dad isn't at work" Mia said

"She's probably just tired, she's been working more lately too hasn't she?"

"Yeah I guess" Mia replied but she was actually feeling really worried about her Mum and felt there was something going on

Mia and Lexie stayed up on the terrace talking for most of the evening and when they went down the adults were just heading up to bed.

"I was just about to come up to tell you that we're heading up to bed now" Rachel said

"Yeah we're going to bed now too" Lexie replied

"Have you had a nice evening?"

"Yeah really good thanks"

"What were you doing up there?"

"Just talking"

Rachel thought it looked like Mia had been crying but didn't say anything.

They all said goodnight before heading to their bedrooms to go to sleep.
