Eastenders - An addition to the carters

DNA test

I woke up by the feeling if my phone vibrating. it was my alarm for school. I put in my school uniform and jogged into the kitchen. everyone was still asleep because I had gotten up half an hour earlier than I should do. I set my alarm this early because all the other days for school I am late and I don't want school to ring mum and worry her. I made toast and orange juice and sat down. I rolled up my sleeve and looked at my wrist full of dark red thick scars. I wish I had been stronger, I wish i had acted like a true carter and stayed strong. I wish I didn't do it.
"At least they're fading, baby" mum said quietly. I jumped up off my chair and turned around to see mum stood in the door way, giving a fake smile in her dressing gown.
"M-mum I didn't know you were up" I said in shock and pulled my sleeve down.
"We need to talk about this. maybe after school?" She asked, standing up straight.
"No" I said. "why not?" Mum asked.
"I can't after school b-because I-I'm at Liam's" I lied. I can't tell her about the DNA test.
"But it's Tuesday" mum said, biting a bit of my toast.
"I'll only be a couple of hours after school with liam, we're revising for our exam"
"Okay than darling, have a good day at school" mum said and kissed my forehead. I am smaller than mum but only by a little bit.
"Tell dad I said bye" I said and left.

I walked out of school where Shirley and phil we're waiting for me in the car. I climbed in and we drove to the hospital.
"Yes we're here for a DNA test?" Shirley said to the receptionist.
"Come through here please" the lady smiled and we went into the room to have our bloods took. Shirley kept smiling at me to make sure I was okay. No one really spoke during this test, if anyone did, it'd just be awkward.
"Right, the test is finished, we will ring Shirley on Thursday" the lady said.
"No, you can't ring me. I can't risk my boyfriend finding out" Shirley said.
"Ring me. here's my number" I said and wrote my number down.
"Okay, bye" said the lady.
The whole car journey was awkward. phil dropped me off outside the square so no one sees me get out of his car.

Linda's POV
It is 5:30 so becky should be back in half an hour. Me and mick was behind the bar in the pub when liam came up to me.
"Is becky in?" He asked.
"No, I thought she was with you" I said. I'm getting scared now, becky would never do anything without telling me.
"No she's not, I thought she was here. she didn't walk back with me from school. she did get took out of geography though" liam explained.
"Oh okay, well don't worry, she'll probably be in McDonalds or something" I lied. I didn't want liam worrying. liam left and I rushed upstairs to mick.
"Mick, Beckys not home and she's not with liam either. liam said that she got took out if geography but I haven't got a text from her" I said, nearly crying.
"Have you tried ringing her?" Mick said, trying to calm me down.
"No but I'll try that now"
"Ok babe".
I rang her but she didn't answer.
"She's not answering, mick" I said.
We both ran downstairs and out of the pub onto the streets, to see if we could see her.
"L, that's her walking down the road there!" He said and ran towards her.
"Where have you been?" Mick shouted.
"Walking home from school, what do you think?" She got clever to mick.
"Right, we'll sort this at home" mick said, annoyed.

Beckys POV
we returned home and went upstairs into the front room.
"Where were you Rebecca? You had your mother worried sick!" Dad had ago at me. No one has ever called me Rebecca before, it was kind of scary.
"I went to nandos, I was hungry!" I shouted back.
"Becky!" Mum shouted. "everyone just calm down" mum added.
"I was just hungry, sorry" I said.
"It's fine baby, sorry for shouting" dad said and hugged me.
"I'm gonna get in the bath" I said
"Alright darling" mum said.

I got out of the bath and into my bedroom to dry my hair.
"Becky?" Mum asked and knocked on the door.
"Come in" I said.
"Are you gonna tell me what really happened today" she said and I stopped drying my hair an sighed. should I tell her? I mean, I don't wanna lie to her anymore.
"I had a DNA test" I said.
"What?" Mum asked, confused.
"Basically, phil might be me biological dad and Shirley wants to know. please don't tell dad, I'll tell him soon" I begged.
"I just want to let you know I'm mad with you. but if you don't tell him by the end of tomorrow, I'm telling him. goodnight darling" she said and walked out.
