"How?"
"Rose stole your vodka" Lucy just sobbed " and drank it"
"I know"
"I tried to lie mum , I really did"
"Don't worry okay, leave it this to me"
"I don't want you to get the sack"
" I won't don't worry, now you go to lesson"
"I don't want to"
"Why? You've got history your favourite"
"No it isn't mum"
"Still, I met miss McFall this morning she seems nice"
"Mum you'll tell me if anything happens won't you"
"Course sweetheart" she said kissing her forehead "don't worry" Lucy walked to history she knocked on the door.
"Sorry I'm late miss"
"Ah nice for you to join us miss mulgrew" she said "take a seat"
"Okay"
"We where just talking about our favourite areas of history, do you have a specific area of interest?"
"Erm the tudors"
"How come"
"Well you see Shakespearean theatre the questionable reign of Henry the eight his 6 wives, then lady Jane grey the nine day queen. Elizebeth the firsts small pox's. The outbreak of the plague. Did you know William Shakespeare was born when the plague was in Stratford"
"I did indeed, your quite knowledgeable aren't you Lucy, little history wiz, do you enjoy history?"
"A bit"
"Well I can tell I'm going to enjoy teaching you this term, hopefully next time you could turn up to lesson on time though"
"Course miss sorry" a few minutes later mr clarkson knocked on the door
"Excuse me miss McFall can I borrow Lucy"
"Of course you may" she said "hope she's not in any trouble"
"No, no trouble" he smiled "bring your stuff"
"I'll see you next lesson Lucy" Lucy walked out the classroom with Tom
"Lucy I need you to tell me what's going on? With your mum"
"I can't sir"
"Lucy if you don't tell me then you'll have to tell mr Byrne"
"He's going to have to know anyways sir"
"Lucy tell me please"
"Sir, she's an alcoholic" he opened his office door
"Right I think we better have a chat"
"She's getting better though sir honest, she's sober now well atleast I think she is"
"How long for?"
"Since me and rose was little"
"I need you to tell me everything"
"There's not much to tell sir, she's just an alcholic"
"Is she violent"
"No"
"Rose doesn't seem to happy about it"
"We'll speak to rose then, I'm not telling you anything else"
"Lucy"
"What you honestly think I'm going to stitch up my own mum after everything she's been through you've got to be kidding"
"If you don't tell me, I'll have to get the social involved"
"So mum enjoys a few vodkas what's so wrong with that"
"According to rose it's a few more that a few"
"They have it in for mum, always have"
"Why?"
"Because they knew what was going on way before I did"
"I understand she's your mum Lucy, but protecting her isn't getting anyone anywhere" Christine entered a few minutes later
"Lucy tell him" she said
"I won't"
"Lucy It's okay you can tell him" she smiled.
"Mrs mulgrew maybe your best to join us tell us what's going on"
"I'm an alcoholic Tom, ever since I left my ex husband"
"Mum don't" said Lucy
"No, I'm going to tell mr clarkson, it's not fair on you two anymore, i need to sort myself out"
"You don't mean that"
"I do" she said "when the twins where younger I'd sneak out for s drink"
"Mum please" Lucy stormed out and ran to the cooler where rose was and stormed on No one else was in there
"You happy now, you've gone and ruined it all again" she screamed "she's got to explain herself all because you and your stupid jokes"
"It's not my fault"
"Well it kind of is rose"
"She's the one who's draining her sorrows in the vodka"
"Mum was getting clean"
"You might believe that but I don't"
"Atleast she was trying"
"As if you believe that"
"She was raped" Lucy screamed
"You what?"
"Mum was raped"
"Your joking"
"I'm not" she shook her head
"Where did you hear that?"
"When our 'dad' came round"
"When she was staying sobber"
"Yeah" Lucy was bawling "why do you think she started drinking again?"
"She's clearly just lying" Lucy slapped rose,
"Who in there right minds would lie about something like that" rose fought back ragging hee hair until Christine came running in
"Hey you two break it up"
"I'm sorry mum" Lucy bawled
"What for"
"I had to tell rose"
"Oh rose I'm so sorry love"
"Why did you tell her and not me!"
"Because I didn't want you to know rose"
"Have you lost your job?"
"No, I'm going to get help okay, and I'm never going to let it get this bad again okay I promise"
"You can't promise that" said rose "you said that last time"
"I'm so sorry" she said "but I'm here now"
"Just leave it out" said rose
"I'm going to make it up to you both okay"
