Craving you (Waterloo road)

34

Harper knew how her head was a mess. She couldn't believe Tom had kissed Eleanor. She didn't know what to think. She didn't know weather or not it was down Eleanor being a manipulative bitch.

She knew how things with her and Tom had been tense. And she didn't like it. She felt as though it was all too much. Things with her and Tom were just not working out.

She felt as though she needed to somehow make it work. For Sofia's sake. She couldn't make out weather or not Eleanor was being true.

She just knew that things weren't simple. They were a complete mess. She didn't want to make Sofia sense the tension going on with them.

There had been a lot of tension. And harper hated it. She didn't know what to think at all. She felt as though things were too hard for her and Tom.

She hated Eleanor. And how she had come between them. She just wanted things to go back to how they used to be. Before she had come into their lives.

All she knew was that things weren't going to be the same until she got the truth. And she was going to do all she could to make it work.

Morning came all too quickly for her. She sighed as she woke in bed next to Tom. She looked to him and smiled. "Look. I know a lot has happened between us. But I want us to work. And I'm thinking that maybe we should go out for a meal."

Tom looked to her. "I don't know. Do you think we can fix this? Eleanor is really coming between us. I don't want to lose you," he told her.

"You won't lose me Tom. I love you. I love the family that we've made. And we can do what we can to make it work," she told him.

"You think?"

"I do. I know we've got this."

Harder and Tom went into work. She saw Madison and walked over to her. "Tom seems really broken. I feel so bad for him. I just... Eleanor has really come between us," she told her.

Madison smiled. "If you need me to have Sofia at all, you just let me know. I'm happy to have her," she said.

"Thanks. I don't want to look at Eleanor. I don't want to see her face," harper said.

Madison smiled as she looked to her. "I promise you. I'm happy to have her. Emilie loves having her. You need to fix you and Tom."

"I hope we can. Eleanor has really come between us. And I'm worried that we can't fix it. We've both been through so much," Harper said.

Harper was in the staff room. She looked up as Eleanor walked in. Max behind her. "I've made a formal complaint to Mr Tyler about how you are acting with me."

"You'll need a formal complaint by the time I've finished with you," Harper said.

Max walked over to her. He sighed. "Look. I can't stand her either. But just go easy. She's threatened to get the LEA involved."

Harper sighed. But she had no idea how things with her and Tom were about to come crashing down around them.
