Little did he know -George Smith NHC

Shes dead

George's PoV
I followed the woman down the hall and into the head offices room where I saw Steph crying as I quickly sat down next to her as I put my hand on her knee and then off again

" George I hear you two are very close and Stephanie asked me for you to hear the news aswell" the woman spoke seriously as I nodded as Steph cried a little harder

" sadly Stephanie's mother has died and I hope you look after her I'll tell your teachers what has happened and that you will not be in any classes today" the teacher spoke as she left and I pulled Steph into a hug as she cried and she just kept crying as she did a single tear escaped my eye and I quickly rubbed it away. I pulled away and I leaned in and kissed her just as the teacher walked back in and she pretended that she didn't see anything

" George I've called your father he's on his way" the teacher spoke as she sat at the desk

" I understand that is a hard time and you can have as much time possible away from school were giving you permission and George you can stay aswell as I know your parents work" she spoke I hugged Steph and accidentally pulled her blazer up which brought her t-shirt up as I saw the scar and quickly let go but she'd seen

" what was that on your back?!" The teacher stood up as Steph looked at me helplessly she didn't want to cause anymore trouble

" she just burnt it on the counter she was walking backwards helping me move the dinning table the other day" I lied and hoped for the best

" George please stand outside for the moment" the teacher spoke as I got up and left

Stephs PoV
I couldn't tell her what it was from George tried his best to lie but she could see right through him. She sent him out and walked around and sat on the chair he was sat in

" Stephanie listen you can tell me where this is from I know some background of your family and I need to really know the truth about this please. Was it your mother? Was it George?" She asked

" it wasn't George it was my mum the police have got the story id much rather not repeat it sorry" I sobbed as she nodded and opened the door to let George back in. We sat in the room for a while before George's dad came and hugged me and then George and he took us back to the house

" George I'm sorry I've got to get back to work you know I do me and your mother are also going for a business trip for the rest of the week you'll be okay I know you will and hey theirs drinks and chocolate and ice cream in the fridge" George's dad spoke as he hugged both of us and then left again to go back to work

" I'm sorry I shouldn't be sad that my mother died she deserved it but but I just don't know" I sobbed as George pulled me into another hug

" I get it babe I do she was abusive to you but she was still your mother I get it" he spoke rubbing my back

Blakes PoV
I was in English now and I'd heard the news through Reece listening into our teachers chat and I couldn't help but worry about her I knew George was with her but what if he wasn't what if she'd ran off

" BLAKE DID YOU EVEN LISTEN TO MY QUESTION" my English teacher shouted

" err sorry no sir" I went red

" what did this person just say about Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet" he asked

" that it was spectacular and he was entranced by the storyline" I spoke as emily mouthed it to me as she was sat just behind where the teacher was

" well done Blake now listen!" He spoke as he carried on rambling on about random crap about Shakespeare that I didn't really care about and then the bell rang thankgod

" don't worry too much babe" Emily kissed me as we walked out the classroom and headed to the lunch hall to meet Reece

" hey you been worried too?" Reece asked as he hugged me

" yeah you can't help it though" I gave off a light smile

" yeah that's true I hope their okay" Reece smiled

" oh I'm sure their Okay" Emily smiled as we all sat down on a table and ate some lunch

Stephs PoV
Me and George had been sat on the sofa in silence for about a hour I was looking at the letter and finally I drifted off to sleep as crying for hours really tires you out

" my room still smells of your perfume it's like I'm right here next to you" George sung softly as I drifted off to sleep

" I'll wake you up when Blake and Reece are here" George whispered hoping I'd hear which I did
