Fighting demons (Waterloo road)

Leigh walked down the hallway of the hospital as she saw Rachel. She looked to her mum and rolled her eyes. She wasn't in the mood and she blamed her for Brooke and what she was gong through "how is she" Leigh asked as Rachel looked to her "she's fine, she can go" Rachel said as Leigh looked to her and smiled "good as I am taking Brooke with me, she is gong to stay with me and max. I am gong to keep her safe and look after her which is your job as her mother, as our mother but then again. You let me down so I don't see why Brooke should be different. She has a mental illness and needs more looking after but you don't seem to care" Leigh spat as Rachel looked to her and frowned "of course I care, I care about both of you. Your my daughters after all" Rachel said as Leigh looked to her and rolled her eyes

"Oh please, you let your boyfriend abuse me and you didn't believe me when I told you. What kind of mother does that make you? Brooke deserves better than you as a mother and if your not going to look after her than I will. I Won't let you hurt my little sister " Leigh said as she walked into the room and smiled as she looked to Brooke "hey kiddo. Are you ready to get out of here" Leigh asked as Brooke nodded "I've spoken to mum and I have told her its best if you stay with me and max, you need someone who will look after you and it's gong to be me as you and I know what mum is like. It's gong to be okay, I promise you" Leigh said as Brooke looked to her and smiled

Brooke sighed to herself as she got to school. It was the first time being back since she was in the clinic. She looked to Leigh and smiled as she placed a hand on her cheek and smiled "it's gong to be okay, I'm here okay" Leigh said as Brooke looked to her and nodded. Brooke walked off into the school. She knew that she took a lot of time off and was feeling anxious over being back. She saw tom and frowned as she looked to him. He walked over to her and smiled "come on, we need to talk" tom said as she looked to him and nodded. She walked into the classroom with him as he placed a hand on her cheek and smiled "I was worried over you" "I'm fine" Brooke said "I know your not, I was worried as I was falling for you" he said as she looked to him and smiled as he kissed her gently and smiled

Brooke sat on the common room as Rachel walked in "I'm not here to fight, I know you have been through a lot and I'm here to tell you I'm sorry, I'm your mum and i let you down and I'm sorry" Rachel said as she asked off. Brooke looked after her and frowned as the tears rolled her face. She didn't know what to do or think. All and knew it was a mess.
