Hayden got to work and walked into the staff room. She looked to tom and smiled as she spotted him, standing and making a cup of coffee. She walked over to tom and frowned as she saw that he wasn't himself "tom, are you okay?" She asked as she placed a hand on top of his and smiled. She could see he was upset, even though he wasn't talking to her about it. "Is it about josh? I saw you looking at him earlier, have you talked to him about it?" She asked as he looked to her and shock his head "I'm going to see Georgia today, I'm going to sort this out for once and for all" he said as Hayden looked to him and smiled "do you want me to come with you?" She asked as he looked to her and chuckled "yeah, because that wouldn't be awkward at all, I mean it's going to be awkward start with, I can't be taking you with me" he said as she looked to him and smiled.

Hayden sighed as she stood up from the chair that she was sitting on. She was annoyed  with max and his sets changes. She looked to tom and smiled "this is all that I need, max bloody Tyler going around and changing everything, it's not as if I have got enough on my plate to start with, never mind all of this, blood inspections" tom said as Hayden looked to him and smiled "it will be okay" she said as he looked to him and smiled.

Later that day, Hayden stood outside during a fire drill and looked to tom as she saw him looking at josh. She looked over to him and sighed "talk to him tom, you need to for both you and him" Hayden said as tom looked to her and rolled his eyes " your not my girlfriend Hayden, why don't you butt out" he snapped at her as she looked to him and rolled her eyes at him "oh, I know I am not your girlfriend and it's a damn right good job that I'm not, I seen how you treat your girlfriends, I am aware that
I am your fuck buddy, grow a pair and talk to your son" she spat to him as she walked off.

Hayden stood in the staff room making a coffee and sighed as she listened as ruby slated the students. She rolled her eyes as tom walked in and over to her. He placed his hands on her waist and pulled her to him. She pushed him away as he looked to her and sighed "hay?" He said as she looked to him and glared as she pushed him away "you made it clear, earlier what I am, why don't you go and find someone else to screw, go find rose and see if davina will have you back, I am only your bit on the side, I'm replaceable aren't I" She said as he looked to her and sighed "that's not true, I was mad you matter to me" tom said as Hayden looked to him and rolled her eyes "whatever"

Hayden sat in the pub that night as Steph sat next to her and smiled "are you and Tom not talking?" She asked as Hayden looked to her and sighed "he's a pig" she said as Steph chuckled "he's a man, it's in their nature. It's easy to tell that he cares about you, I see the way that he looks at you, he's going through something and he needs you there" Steph said as Hayden looked to her and smiled as she walked over and him and took a seat next to him. She looked to him and smiled "I'm sorry" she said as he looked to her and smiled "so am I, your the only good thing that I have right now" he said as she placed a hand on his cheek and leant in and kissed him.
