'For this Story, Liam does not know about his older brother'

It was a bright summer's morning; the streets peaceful as people slept but not for much longer as the chaos that is Elm Tree house erupted.

'Breakfast' Mike yelled up the stairs. The kids came herding down the stairs, stomachs rumbling and headed for the kitchen where a table full of cereal and toast awaited.

'I hate Mondays, double maths!' Electra moaned pulling out a chair before slumping down and slinging her feet up onto the table.

Sapphire sat beside Electra pulling Harry up onto her knees, before pouring him a bowl of his favourite cereal. Harry giggled dipping Jeff's head into the milk. 'Yum' He laughed.

'Toast anyone?' Tracy asked, buttering two pieces of toast. 'Yep' Frank replied wondering into the kitchen. He plonked himself down beside Johnny crunching into his toast before adjusting his navy tie.

'Where Liam, Frank?' Mike asked, sipping on a cup of tea. Frank shrugged, not having seen Liam since dinner the previous night.

With that one scruffy pale looking Liam wondered in his hand on his head. 'Still got that headache?' Gina asked, pouring Liam some orange juice.

Liam nodded. Taking the orange juice from Gina.

'You need to wear your pretty glasses!' Electra laughed, making pretend glasses with her fingers. Mocking him, to much of the other kid's amusement.

'Electra!' Tracy, Gina and Mike shouted in unison. 'Here you go' Tracy says handing Liam his glasses case.

'I'm not wearing them!' He shouted knocking them flying off the table onto the kitchen floor. 'Liam the headache won't stop if you don't, you know what the optician said' Mike says calmly picking up the glasses and handing them back to Liam.

Liam shrugs, before taking them out the case and sliding them onto his face. 'Aw Liam!' Sapphire grins sarcastically.

'That's it!' Liam groans pulling them off his face.

'Right you horrible bunch, off to school you go!' Gina says slipping the glasses into Liam's bag.

'Have a good day'

'Ring, ring, ring' the elm tree house phone erupted. Tracy darted into the office quickly picking it up. 'Yes?' she asks. This is high bridge school, regarding Liam O'Donovan.

'What's he done now?' Tracy asked expecting the worse.

'Its regarding his coursework, he seems to be slipping behind. Liam's not the smartest, but his grades have been seriously slipping the last piece of work he handed in was awful, we wanted to see if we could talk about it today as its very serious'

Tracy nods. 'OK, well I'll make sure I'll have a word with him when he gets back, I'm sure its nothing' Tracy replies, as Mike enters the office carrying a stack of paper.

'Is there someone else I could maybe talk to? The women asks not convinced that Tracy knew what she was doing.

Tracy sighs, hating not being taking seriously and hands the phone to Mike.

'Liam' Mike sighs heading into the school office shaking his head.

'Take a seat' the large women with bright red lipstick behind the desk suggested.

Mike nods, pulling a chair up. The woman ruffles through a pile of crumpled paper on her desk before pulling out a ripped piece of paper and sliding it along the desk.

'This is Liam's last bit of coursework' She tells Mike crossing her arms. As Liam casually rocks in his chair, not a care in the world.

'Liam, what's this?' Mike asks, looking down at the few lines that were scribbled down.

Liam shrugs 'I couldn't concentrate I had a headache alright, just get off my case' Liam sighs kicking the desk in frustration.

'As you can see this is serious, and something needs to be done'

Mike nods, 'Liam what's happened, I know you've never been good at school but this?' his tone full of worry.

'I just couldn't concentrate my heads killing' Liam says, putting a hand on his head and titling his head back on the blue plastic chair.

'As you can see, he's always full of excuses' the woman says, sitting up in her chair and shaking her head at Liam. Much to Liam's hate.

Liam shoots up from his chair, the veins in his forehead buldging. 'IT'S NOT MY FAULT, STOP TREATING ME LIKE AN IDOIT!' He explodes, yanking the door open and storming out. 'Liam!' Mike calls, but it was too late Liam was now sprinting down the school corridors.

'I apologize, I will make sure he comes in tomorrow and that he does that peace of coursework. He just needs time to calm down and realize' Mike says, taking the paper.

The woman stands up 'Thank you for your time' Shaking Mikes hand before leading him towards the door.

Liam carries on sprinting away from the school. His heart pounding sweat dripping from his brow, his entire body aching. He stops on the pavement outside Elm Tree when Tracy comes out of the door and spots him.

He spins around about to run in the opposite direction still full of anger not wanting to face anyone... But Liam's unable to, his body just not letting him move. His body doubles over as a sharp pain attacks Liam's head sending him down onto the hard, cold concrete, crying in complete pain. Tracy sprints over to Liam whose entire body is shaking, 'GINA!' Tracy screams, kneeling down beside Liam. While Liam's body vigorously shook uncontrollably smacking against the hard concrete.

'It's OK, Liam!' Tracy says her hands shaking with fear and panic. She slides her phone out before quickly phoning 999.

Maybe there was more to Liam's behaviour...Something none could have ever predicted.
