Can't stop loving you (Waterloo road)

016💙

Alexis hated going into work. She hated how everyone was always looking at her. She hated how Max Tyler had ruined her life. She knew he was a bully. But she had no idea he would hurt her like that.

Alexis knew how tom and Esmè had been there for her through it all. They never judged her. And for that, Alexis was grateful. But she hated how it had even happened.

Alexis had no idea how she was going to recover from all of this. She didn't know if she wanted to go back to work. She didn't know if she could. And she hated it. She hated how her life had been ruined.

When she woke that morning, she saw Tom walking in. He smiled. "Hey. You okay?" He asked as he kissed her.

"I'm fine. Just my life that's been ruined. None of the students respect me now. All they see is the girl on the tape who had sex. And that's not how I wanted my career to go."

Tom looked to her and sighed. "It's a handful of students who think that. And believe me, Esmè is setting them straight about some things. Kyle Stack is the only one who is acting like a jerk."

Alexis rolled her eyes. "None of this should have happened. Max shouldn't have done it. And now I'm suffering," she said.

"And I want nothing more than to fix this for you. But Max has been suspended. There's an investigation. And it will be okay. I promise you."

Alexis shrugged and sighed. But she just didn't know anymore. She didn't know what she wanted anymore.

Tom took her hand. He kissed her. "It's going to be okay. I promise. I'm always here for you. I love you."

"Love you too."

Tom could see how broken she looked and he wanted nothing more than to fix it for her. To take away her pain.

Alexis and Tom went into work. Alexis saw Esmè walking over. Esmè sighed. "Are you okay?" She asked as she looked to her. "I know you're not okay. But you're better than you were?"

Alexis shrugged. She sighed and looked to her. "I don't think I'll be okay for a long time. Max has broken me. More than I ever thought possible," she mumbled.

Tom kissed her and walked off. Esmè looked to her sister. "I could kill him for this. He's broken you and I hate him."

"You don't. He's the father of your daughter."

"Maybe so. But he isn't allowed to see her. Not after what he's done. You're my sister. And I feel responsible for all of this. For telling him about you and Tom."

Alexis shook her head. "He still would have done this. Regardless. He's not here. So it's all good. We're going to be okay. Well I hope I am."

Alexis was sitting in the staffroom. She saw everyone whispering. She rolled her eyes and sighed. "I know you're all gossiping about the photo. Well get over it. That was a photo Max Tyler took. So do not blame me," she said as she stood up and walked off.

Esmè looked to them. "Considering you're all members of staff, you all act worse than the kids," she said as she followed Alexis.

Alexis was in the toilets. The tears were pouring down her cheeks. Esmè walked in. "Hey. Don't let the likes of Steph and Grantly put you in this mood. Okay?" Esmè said as she took her hand.

Alexis sighed as she looked to her sister. But she had no idea how her whole life was about to change again. And it was about to get a whole lot worse for her.
