Scared to love (Waterloo road)

4

I walked into school with Brooke as we laughed about the fifty year old guy that had tried it on with Brooke last night. "you should of totally got it in with him Brooke he was keen" I said "did you see him, he was grey and wrinkly its was like getting it on with my granddad" and I laughed "some people are into that older men" I said "hey, I haven't got anything against older men, I mean they know what there doing but there is an age limit" she said "what sort of older man, is your type" I asked "your dad" she said as she walked off and I stood still and paled "wait....what" I said as she continued to walk into the school where I noticed tom getting out of the car. I smirked at him and frowned as he stood talking to the dinner leady. Damn why did he have to kiss me? I have enough to deal with without falling for him "Millie, are you coming" I heard Brooke call pulling me out of my trance "what happened with him?" she asked me and I sighed "nothing....apparently, besides he has the dinner lady" I said "mil, come on you can tell me" she said as she linked arms with me as I spotted my dad standing by the steps "i think we should go in the back way" I said as I looked at him "why, hes fit" Brooke said and i  rolled my eyes "tell me about Clarkson, did he put his little Clarkson inside of you" brooke asked and i burst out laughing "please tell me that your still drunk and you didn't just say that brooke" I said and she smirked "i might be, did he?" she asked and I sighed "no, we just kissed" I said "you made out with a school teacher, I don't know whether to bow at your feet or what, but im so proud my little Millie is all grown up, im so proud" she said and she placed her hand o her chest playing the drama queen she is "your so dramatic" I said.

I stood in the bathroom as I changed back into my uniform "and now we look sixteen" I said as I slipped on my tie and Brooke undid the top two buttons of her shirt "yeah and your looking all hot for clarky" she said and I rolled my eyes "i told you, Brooke, hes not interested besides he has a girlfriend he was only comforting me cause I was upset" I said "oh please, its not as if the dinner lady can give him what you can" brooke said "i don't know" I said "what are you so scared of" brooke asked me and I looked to her "to love, of getting hurt again, of being rejected" I said and she sighed "tom, is not Jennifer okay, he would never lay a finger on you, well not that way anyways and hes not your mum, he wouldn't abandon you, look I think I know of a way to get rid of Jennifer but I don't know if your going to like it" she said "brooke? what are you up to" I asked "im going to seduce your dad, seduce him away from her" Brooke said and I frowned "you don't know it will work" I said "trust me? have I ever let you down before" broke asked me and I looked to the ground "i agreed to keep what she did to you a secret, okay, you have to trust me, let me help you your my best friend mills, and I wont let anyone hurt you, okay" she said and I nodded as I bite my lip as tears build in my eyes "its okay, I promise" Brooke said as she hugged me "what if he hates me" I asked "hes your father, he wont....he'll be upset but when you tell him, eventually he'll be there for him your his daughter after all" she said and I nodded.

At break I walked through the yard stilling feeling groggy "has he not asked you to come home yet?" Brooke asked me and I sighed "he keeps texting me asking me too, apologising for saying Im a disappointment and asking why I wont come home" I said "what do you say" she asked "that I need time" I said as i groaned the hangover hitting me "you know what you need is the hair of the dog" i heard Bolton say and i frowned turning round to see he was behind me holding a bottle of what looked like cherryade "there's alcohol in this" Brooke asked snatching the bottle form me "yeah" he said "how much" i asked "£1" he said and i sighed digging into my pocket digging out a pound handing it to him "nice doing business with you" he said as i opened the bottle and drank half of the bottle in one go" "Millie" Brooke said and i sighed "what?" "are you mad, you don't know what you just drank" she said and i rolled my eyes "its fine" i said as the bell went for next lesson i sat in toms class at the back "Millie? are you okay?" Brooke asked me "im fine" i said as i slurred "oh my god, your worse than you were before, i told you it wasn't a good idea to drink that stuff" she said "shhh" i said as i giggled as the fire bell went off. i stood outside in the yard with the help of Brooke i glanced across to see tom looking at me strangely as i  ignored what ever my dad said "Millie?" i heard tom say and i looked at him "sir" i said trying to act sober "how much of it has she had" he asked Brooke "half a bottle i tried to stop her" Brooke said as i placed my hand on my head as the ground beneath my feet moved and i fell to the ground "MAX, QUICK" I heard someone shout before i blacked out.

I woke up in the hospital a few hours later feeling groggy. I spotted my dad standing at the end of my bed he had his back towards me "i think we need to talk don't you matilda" he said and i glanced away avoiding eye contact with him, i knew i was in for it, for real this time "matilda?" he said and i glanced at him "what happened?" i asked as everything seemed foggy "you don't remember" he asked as he sat on the seat next to me "no, not really i remember thinks of last night and some of school but...it seems foggy" i said "your lucky you didn't die, you got alcohol poisoning off ethanol that paul and Bolton sold to you, i think its time that you came home and back to your parents, brooke mason is no good for you" he said and i frowned "no" i said and eh looked at me "what did you say" he asked shocked i had rebelled against him "i said no, i am not going back to that house not when Jennifer is there, you don't know brooke at all she is the only person who has been there and she tried to stop me today, shes a good person unlike your wife, tell me father does miss Campbell know about Jennifer?" i asked and he paled slightly "how did you--" "how did i know, i have eyes father im not stupid" i said and he sighed "you realise your not going to be in big trouble once you get back to school, anything could have happened to you when you were in that state" he said and i wiped away the tears in my eyes "im sorry" i said "im just glad your okay" he said "im sorry im a disappointment" i said and he sat on the bed taking my hand "i didn't mean that, your not you just make some mistakes i wish you didn't, but you learn from them" he said as he kissed my forehead "your the only good thing that i have accomplished" he said and i smiled slightly "gets some rest, im going to phone the school" he said and i nodded.
