Loving him hating him *waterloo road*

48

Kendall knew how she had been struggling with her mental health lately. She knew that there was something going on with her. And she just didn't know what it was.

Things had been going well for her. She knew that she had her family with Simon. And she was going to do all she could to make it work out. Knowing that it was what she wanted.

She had been worried about her sister a lot lately. Knowing she hadn't seen her around school much. It was like she hadn't been there.

Simon had told her that she was probably overreacting. But she couldn't help but worry about it.

He had told her that Lacey was fine. She was just worrying over nothing. Simon couldn't help but feel as thought there was something wrong with his fiancee.

He had seen how she had changed. She was more protective of Lily. She wasn't letting her go for play dates with her friends from nursery. And it was hurting him to see his little girl feeling so left out.

He knew it had to have been down to pregnancy hormones. But he just didn't want her to suffer because of it.

All both of them knew was that things were changing. And neither of them knew how to adjust to the changes.

Morning came all too soon for them both. Simon looked to her and smiled. "Hey babe. You okay?" He asked.

"Yeah I'm good. Just didn't sleep too well. The baby was pressing down on my bladder," she said. She was lying. She hadn't slept at all.

Simon nodded. He smiled. "Well it will be worth it when our bub is here. Are you sure you're okay? You seem off."

Kendall smiled as she got out of bed. "I need to go and make some breakfast. Lilly needs fed and so do you," she said as she left the bedroom.

She took a deep breath and sighed. It was so hard. Knowing how she was struggling. And she just needed to make it easier somehow.

Kendall and Simon went into work. Simon kissed her and walked off. Kendall saw Lacey and walked over to her. "Hey. I haven't seen you in a while. Where have you been?" She asked.

Lacey shrugged and smiled. "I've been around. Mum told me you were sick of me. So I just had to somehow not be around you," she told her.

Kendall frowned. She shook her head. "I never said that Lace. You're my sister. And I'm always gonna be here. I'd never get sick of you. You're my little sister," she said.

"Just what mum said. I think she wants to keep me under her supervision. Kind of annoying. She doesn't let me go out or anything," Lacey told her.

Kendall walked into the office. She looked to Christine who smiled. "Oh hiya darling. You okay?" She asked.

Kendall rolled her eyes. "Cut the crap. Why did you tell Lacey I'm sick of her?"

Christine shrugged and smiled. "You have your own life now. You don't need your sister around. You're not well yourself."

"What? No. I'm fine."

Christine looked to her. She knew her daughter was struggling. And she wanted to help her. But she wasn't aware of how Kendall's life was about to spiral out of control.
