Cheryl’s POV

‘What do you mean if it’s true?’ I shout as Kimberley leaves the room to go after Nadine.

‘Does she actually thinks I’m lying about this?’ Frustrated I look at Sarah who’s holding her head in despair. ‘Sarah?’ I call.

‘Yeah, what do you want me to say Cheryl? Good job that went bloody awful.’ She sneers at me.

‘Oh now it’s my fault, because you were such a great help.’ I laugh sarcastically. 

‘At least I know when to be subtle about something.’ She bites back. ‘Maybe when, oh I don’t know, you tell someone their boyfriend is back on drugs again. Now she’s all over the place.’

‘Girls please.’ Kimberley walks back in and I watch her grab the keys.

‘Where are you going?’ I say, walking towards her.

Turning around she places her hand on my shoulder. ‘I’m going to drive Nadine to Will’s, she wants to talk with him.’

My eyes widen. ‘Are you mad?’

‘No Cheryl, I’m not mad. Nadine wants to talk to him about what you just told her and I think it’s the right thing to do. After all this is between them so they should figure it out together. She’s already calmed down a bit and I rather make sure she gets there in one piece, so I’m driving her. I’ll keep you posted ok?’

I wish I could say something to protest but I don’t really know what so I just nod. 

‘Be careful though.’ I say sternly.

‘I will, be here when I get back ok?’ Kimberley waves at Sarah and kisses me goodbye before she shuts the door behind her. I walk towards the sofa and drop back on it, sighing deeply. ‘I hate this f*cking drama.’ 

Sarah says nothing. ‘Oh great, now you’re angry with me too aren’t you?’ I moan looking at her. 

But she doesn’t look angry, she’s grinning at me like a loon. ‘What?’ I frown. 

As she starts to rub over her heart, wiping away imaginary tears I get what she’s after.

‘Oh very funny.’ 

‘Who’s in love? Tell me Chez, who’s in love?’ she claps her hands excitingly. 

Rolling my eyes I try to hide my smirk. 

‘And who’s that lucky girl? Sarah is now poking my arm. ‘Who’s that lucky girl Chez?’

‘Your mum is.’ I joke.

‘Aw how clever. But seriously though I never thought this day would come.’ Sarah says, blinking her eyes. 

‘That’s what your mum said too. And then I rocked her world.’

I earn a smack. ‘Stop talking about my mum you a-hole, that woman is a saint. You’re just embarrassed because you’ve got feelings all of a sudden.’ Sarah shouts and I start laughing.

‘Ok, ok , I’m sorry. You know I love your mum.’ I giggle at an angry looking Sarah.

‘But really Chez, tell me all about it. At least we’ll have something to talk about as we wait.’ She looks at me pleading. ‘Pretty please?’

‘Alright but there’s not much to tell. We went to a romantic restaurant and then I took a walk with her in the park where we kissed. That’s all.’ I shrug casually. 

Amazed she looks at me. ‘Are you’re going to take her out again?’

‘Well yeah, I want to get to know her.’ I reply.
