*9 years later*
I know that's a big skip through the story but I'll fill you in now.
Rachel turned 13 two weeks ago, Holly turned 17 this year and Michael turned 21 last month.
Hamish and Carol split up last year and he is now living with his new girlfriend in a house closer to the San Remo factory.
Gina and Carol have become best friends, same with Luke and Rachel.
Anymore questions, comment.
-Rachels POV-
"Mum get out of my bedroom!" I scream at my mum as she sat on my bed going through my diary. "Get out!" I scream again because she didn't listen the first time. I hate when she goes through my stuff. "Seriously mum, get out. My diary is my privacy so you do NOT invade it." I say sternly. "Fine." She says before storming out slamming my door behind her.
"Rachel!" I hear a familiar voice shout from outside. I look down at the ground but can't see anyone. "Up here!" The voice shouted again making me look up. "Luke! What're you doing? I didn't know you could see my bedroom from your window.." Oh my god. He probably sees me changing and all. Shit..
"Yeah haha can I come over?" He asks pointing to my house. "Ah yeah mums in a shit mood though so come through the back." I explain as he nods then disappears from his window.
"Boo!" I heard from behind me then a pair of arms wrapped around my waist. They then picked me up and sat me on my window sill by I was facing my bedroom. It was Luke. He stood between my legs just giggling as he held me around my waist tightly. "What're you doing Lukey?" I asked him between my giggles. "Fine I'll leave then." He said as he turned around and started walking towards my bedroom door. "No Luke wait!" I said grabbing his wrist then he turned around quickly and pushed me onto my bed as I was still holding him so he fell on top of me. "Ugh you fatty get off me!" I yelled at him as he put all of his weight on my stomach. He then hovered over me and kissed my forehead. "Akward.." I said as he pulled away and got off of me. He looked at the floor embarrassedly then I burst out in laughter making him feel better and chuckle to himself. As he was laughing his voice cracked. "Oh shit." He stated. "I think my voice just broke." He said covering his mouth with his hands. "Aw Lukey! You're turning into a man!" I said a little too loud before kissing him on the cheek. He blushed just after I released then looked at the floor.
"Come over to mine!" He said grabbing my arms and dragging me over to the door. "Wait let me put some concealer on first!" I shouted whilst pulling myself out of his grip. He let go and sighed. "You know you are naturally beautiful. You don't need makeup to impress anyone." He whispered in my ear. "Luke.. I-I don't know what to say." I whispered back. "It's okay. I shouldn't have spoke my mind if it made you feel uncomfortable." He spoke softly. "Forget it." I said putting my concealer back on my dresser before taking his hand and leading him downstairs.
"I'm going out tonight." Mum spoke as I reached the bottom of the stairs. "Okay I'm just going over to Lukes." I said. "Don't be too late I need to give you the talk later." She said slurring each word. Obviously drunk. She had been drinking a lot since she divorced dad last year.
