Mrs Mulgrew's daughter || Waterloo Road

Did You Miss Me?

**1 week later**
It's 23:00 and everyone has gone to bed except me and Justin, Justin is in the kitchen making us a cup of tea and I'm on the phone to Bonnie, I hang up when I hear a knock at the door. I head towards the door and fiddle with the locks until the door opens and when I open it there's a person stood there with a suitcase.
"I'm sorry but this isn't a youth hostel." I said I'm about to close the door when she stops it with her foot.
"Funny," she glared "I'm Tiffany, Tiffany Westbrook."
When I hear her name I feel as if my jaw has dropped so far it slammed against the floor
"Nikki Mulgrew," I said "and I think you need to get lost."
"I'll think about that, no," she said "I'm looking for Justin. I went to the old house, their new flat put they said he'd be here."
I was right this Tiffany was the same soon to step sister, love of his life Tiffany
"No, you can't," I whispered "he is finally getting over you, you need to leave." Just as I'm about to push her out the door and back into the street when Justin walks in .
"Hey Nikki how much sugar do you-" he stops walking, talking and just stares at Tiffany "why are you here?"
"Justin I want to try us again, there isn't anyone in the way anymore." She smiled
"Um, hello?" I glared "incase you didn't hear he has moved on and I think you need to get your ass out of here before I kick it out."
"Tiffany just go, back to wherever your stupid mum and brother are." Justin said
"Fine I'll go," she said "not home, I'm staying with a friend, just thought you should know I'm enrolling back in at waterloo road, expect to see a lot of me from now on."
She shuts the door and Justin goes back to making the tea, I open the door and follow Tiffany outside
"Tiffany wait a sec." I shouted
"What? Couldn't wait for me to leave and now you want me to stay." She shouted back
"Kenzie called you didn't she," I asked and she nodded "I'll be the first to say this Kenzie isn't a friend to you or me. She wants to be with Justin she is using you to kick me out of sight, the sooner you realise that you aren't going to be with him the better. Because even if she breaks us up you won't be the one that ends up with Justin Fitzgerald, Kenzie will."

**morning**
Immediately run over to Bonnie as soon as I see her and I think she spots the look on my face as soon as she looks at me.
"Tiffany's back and she wants Justin back." I said
"Tiffany Westbrook, great. That girl is too sickly sweet." Bonnie muttered
"Sweet?" I gasped "that girl is a million things but sweet is not one of them."
"She's probably like that to you because you're his new girl friend." She said
"Kenzie Calhoun is spawn of the devil." I said
"What do you mean?" She asked
"Because of what happened last week she's using Tiffany to break me and Justin up and then swooping in to make sure it isn't Tiffany who ends up with him either," I said "I warned Tiffany about her, it's up to Tiffany to decide who she lets hurt her."

We walk to tutor and me and Bonnie take our usual seats at the back with Justin and Scott in front of us.
"You were right Scott, Kenzie's revenge plan has me screwed." I sighed
"Believe me there will be more than her bringing this Tiffany girl back into the picture," he muttered "what happened to you anyway two weeks ago you would've made her walk the plank or buried her alive."
"I'm still thinking of a plan to match this that doesn't involve drowning her in a lake." I laughed
"Don't do anything that could get you in trouble though." Justin smiled
"As if I ever would." I smiled rolling my eyes

Before I get to first period I walk over to Kenzie's locker and write her a note
You're finished Calhoun
- Nikki
And I decide to write a note for Tiffany as well
When she takes him out of your reach again, I will be the first to say I told you so.
- Nikki
I run back into the crowd and head towards art.

**lunch - the next day**
I'm sat at the table with Bonnie when Tiffany comes on the table.
"Can you keep out?" She said in a strangely nice tone and passes me the two notes I wrote to her and Kenzie.
"I'm just looking out for Justin and to do that I have to look out for you." I muttered
"Thanks but I've known Kenzie a while she seems genuine and I trust her." She smiled
"Great," I smiled sarcastically and Tiffany leaves the table "keep your friends close but your enemies closer." I nod to Bonnie

I'm supposed to be in fourth period but I followed Kenzie to the top of the stairs.
"I told you I was coming for you." I said from the doorway
"You? Stick your nose out." She shouted I moved closer towards her
"Look if you think you can break me and Justin up with Tiffany you can think again." I whispered and I pushed her not expecting her to trip over her own feet and tumble down the stairs hitting her head along the way, I run away in a mix of panic and relief.
