"hi mum" esme said as Rachel looked to her and smiled

"hi love how have you been" Rachel asked as esme looked to her and smiled

"I'm all good"

"has max Tyler been giving you any more grief" Rachel asked as esme looked to her and sighed

"don't he always. I told him we were over I didn't know over grace and I'm with Tom and he just doesn't listen and it is doing my head in" esme said as Rachel looked to her and smiled

"you don't need to worry he won't bother you for much longer. Max Tyler is bad news and soon he will be gone" Rachel said as esme looked to her and frowned

"why what's going on" esme asked as Rachel sighed

"your my daughter and he is bad news and I've seen how he is with grace and we can all do without him in our life right now. I am going to do all I can to get rid of max Tyler.

Esme walked into the staffroom and smiled as she saw grace

"hey you okay" esme asked as grace looked to her and sighed

"I don't know I mean things are a mess. Max and I had a fight and we took a break I thought I'd feel happier but I miss him" grace said as esme looked to her and smiled

"that's understandable but you took a break for a reason grace. You need time apart and you need to find yourself again as he seems to have made you into this girl who only cares what he thinks and I know you are more than that and you are more than max Tyler. Your a person not just his girlfriend and I know you love max I do not you need to use this break to work on yourself after everything" esme said as grace looked to her and smiled

"you know what I think that you could be right it will be okay won't it" grace asked as esme placed a hand on top of hers and smiled

"of course it will" esme said knowing she wanted to be there and help grace as much as she could and it meant finding herself again
