"Please don't tell anyone mick, don't tell Shirley please" I sobbed
"I have to tell L. but nobody else baby I swear" mick stroked my hair and went. I quickly cleaned myself up and got changed.
I ran through the hallway to the kitchen where mick and Linda were talking.
"No way, she needs help, mick. She needs to see a doctor, she could be depressed after everything thats happened" Linda said. I stood around the corner of the kitchen listening.
"Nah, you're alright aren't you becky?" Mick obviously knew I was standing there listening.
I shamefully walked around the corner, dragging my feet along the floor.

Micks POV
She didn't make eye contact with anyone, her 'eds messed up and she knows.
"Can I have my phone... please Linda?" She asked. Linda looked at me.
"No, not now, why don't you run a shift in the pub for a while?" Linda suggested.
"alright then" becky said then walked out.
Linda gave a little laugh and carried on with what she was doing. I went behind her and wrapped my arms around her waist.
"You have to be easy on her L, she's only a kid she'll go running to shirl if she doesn't have her own way. you know that" I worried.

Beckys POV
I was servin the drinks for everyone in the vic for about and hour when Shirley called me over.
"Nancy, cover me for a sec" I asked
"Sure" she replied.
"What's up?"
"Why did you do it?" Shirley asked
"D-do what?" I knew mick had told her even when I told him not to.
"Why did you hurt yourself like that?" She whispered with tears streaming down her face.
"Is it me?" She cried.
"Who told you?" I asked but she didn't reply.
"Who told you mum? Was it mick? Was is mick?!" I shouted. everyone in the pub was staring.
I ran towards the bar enterance where mick was standing.
"Becky no!" Shirley shouted.
