Daddy's little girl (Waterloo road)

013

Grace sighed to herself as she got to school. Tom looekd to her and frowned. Tom knew that grace wasn't herself.

She was off and she was withdrawn and Tom had noticed just how she was becoming more and more withdrawn since what had happened with Finn.

He just wanted to be there for her and help her but he knew that she was shutting him out from whatever was going on with her and he knew he couldn't help her.

Tom watched as grace walked inside as he looked to Charlie and smiled

"do me a favour and keep an eye on her. I know that she says she's fine but your her twin and you know her better than anyone and you know that she is far from fine" Tom said as Charlie looked to him and smiled. Charlie knew that he was right, she knew grace wasn't grace.

She was quiet and she was off and it wasn't like her sister at all

"I'll keep an eye on her but grace is secretive dad, for a reason and it worries me just how secretive that she could be hiding something and I don't like it" Charlie said as Tom smiled as he looked to her. He wrapped an arm around her and pulled her into a hug and smiled

"I know look, I know what happened to you both and I know I have let you down but I will always be here for you both, I will always protect you" Tom said as Charlie smiled "what happened to us, it wasn't your fault" Charlie said

Grace sat in class. She wasn't concentrating. She sighed as the bell went as she went to stand up as Simon walked over to her

"your not yourself I think that we need to talk" he said as she looked to him and frowned

"what? What could be possibly have to talk about" Grace asked as she rubbed her head. Grace knew what was bothering her and she knew that the last thing she wanted was to talk about it

"I think you know what we need to talk about, you know that there is something going on with you and so do you. I am worried about and I would do anything for you. But I'm worried" Simon said as grace looked to him and frowned

"you think because we kissed that it means something I am nothing to you so why don't you stay out of it" she said as he grabbed her arm and looked to her

"I don't care about what with us, I care about you" he said as they held a look for a moment before she kissed him.

Simon froze for a moment before he grabbed her by the waist and pulled her close as he kissed her back passionately

Grace sat in the common room as she sat with her head in her hands

"shut up, leave me alone" grace said as she held her head. She could hear the voices in her head that was driving her mad and she didn't know what she was going to do.

Charlie walked into the common room and frowned as she saw her sister talking to herself.

She was worried and she didn't know what to do. Charlie knew that she had to help grace but little did Charlie know how badly her sisters mental health was going to become and how it was going to change everything
