Together At Last

[Miranda]

OH poor Liam with Emily harrassing him. That is a really good point you make about students harrassing teachers. I've had it happen to me and it must be even harder for male teachers cos people always sympathise with the girl in a situation like that.

Glad Bianca is being more supportive than she was in the real series. Glad Liam is going off to uni with Indi and Nicole, that will be great fun for all concerned.

[lozlovesh&a]

“We’re going to meet Indi & Nic there” Liam said to me the next morning.

“Okay, how long have we got?” I asked.

“About 15 minutes. Go get ready” he said.

We pulled up to the Uni on Liam’s bike about 20 minutes later.

“Hi guys” indi greeted us. “Nic is on her way”

“Oh no here she is” I said.

“Hi sorry didn’t mean to be late” Nicole said.

“Don’t worry we just got here” Liam said.

“So come on then” Indi said leading the way.

We walked into the Uni.

“So this is the Cafeteria” Nicole said. “You can get food and drinks here”

“I think they know what a Cafeteria is” Indi replied.

“Oh yes of course” Nicole laughed.

“This is the music room” Indi said.

“It’s pretty good” Liam said.

“Wait, there are posters of you on the wall” I said.

Liam grinned. “Well I am an artist” he said.

“Oh an artist? Is that what you are? I had no idea” I said sarcastically.

“Funny baby funny” Liam replied.

Indi giggled. “Anyway there are more classrooms up here but I think they are being used at the moment” she said.

“Right” Liam said. “So where is all the cool spots to hang out?”

“Well there’s the bar and the cafeteria and the courtyard” Nicole said.

“So that’s where I can pick up hot chicks” Liam said.

“Excuse me?” I protested.

“That was a joke baby”

“Not a very funny one” I grumbled.

“I’ll make it up to you tonight” he said.

“Yeah you better” I replied.

“Uh oh Liam I think you’re in the dog house now” Nicole said.

“Yeah he is and I’m not going to throw him a bone” I said.

Nicole laughed. “I never knew you had a funny streak Bianca” she said.

“Hang out with me more often then” I grinned.

“OMG” some girl screamed. “Liam Murphy is here”

“Uh oh, looks like you’ve been discovered” Indi said.

Liam laughed. “It happens” he said.

Everyone in the bar turned to look at us.

The girl came up to us. “OMG I like love you so much you have such an amazing voice” she gushed.

“He also has a wife” I said with a touch of annoyance.

“Baby” Liam scolded. “Thanks for your support” he said to the girl.

“Oh your very welcome” she said.

“There was no need to be rude Bianca” Liam said as soon as she left.

“I know. I’m sorry but I’m still getting over what happened to you the last time some girl said that to you”

“Not every girl is going to be like Emily” Liam said.

“I know” I said.

“Don’t forget that no matter how many girls come up to me and say that I don’t take any notice of any of them because I’m in love with you Bianca” he said.

“Aw that is so cute” Indi said.

I smiled. “Okay you’re out of the dog house now” I said. “Don’t I have the best husband in the world?” I asked Indi and Nicole.

“Yes you do” Nicole replied.

“Absolutely” Indi agreed.

I smiled and kissed him.

“Liam” some guy walked up to us smiling.

“Hey mate, how are you?” Liam asked shaking his hand.

“Great mate great. So what are you doing here?”

“Liam’s going to be a student next semester” Nicole answered.

“Yeah, teaching” Indi added.

“Right. Are they your spokesman?” he asked.

Liam laughed. “No, there my friends Nicole Franklin and Indigo Walker” he answered. “And this is my wife Bianca”

“Yeah I heard you got married dude. It’s nice to meet you. I’m Chris” he said.

“Hi Nice to meet you too” I replied.

“Chris and I used to practice together a lot” Liam said.

“Oh is this the Chris you told me all those stories about?” I asked.

“Yeah that would probably be me” Chris said. “Anyway I got to go dude but I guess I’ll see you next semester then”

“Yeah we can catch up then” Liam said.

“Perfect. Nice to meet you ladies” He said and walked away.

“He seems nice” Indi said.

“I wonder if he’s single. He’s kinda hot” Nicole said.

“He’s gay Nic” Liam said.

“Why are all the hot ones gay?” Nicole complained.

“You should set him up with Luke” I suggested.

“That’s not a bad idea baby” Liam replied.

I walked in to School on Monday morning for the first time without Liam.

“Oh Bianca good. I’d like you to meet someone” Gina said.

“Who?” I asked curiously.

“This is our substitute music teacher… “ Gina said.

[HighwayUnicorn]

I like how you very realistically portrayed Bianca in that chapter & how she is still insecure about other girls liking Liam.

Another very well written chapter.

Well done.

[Red Ranger 1]

Liked the interaction and Liam's joke about picking up hot chicks.Wondering who that was at the end...

[lozlovesh&a]

“Chris” I said surprised.

“Bianca hi” Chris said.

“Oh you two know each other” Gina asked.

“I just met him on Saturday at the Uni” I replied.

“Yeah I used to practice with Liam” Chris said.

“Did Gina tell you that you are replacing him?” I asked.

“Actually no I didn’t know that” Chris said. “Why isn’t he teaching?”

“He doesn’t have a degree and the School Board found out because there was an incident with a student” Gina answered.

“I don’t understand. He seems so in love with Bianca was there cheating involved?” he asked.

“No. The student came on to him and was convinced that she was in love with him” I said.

“Oh. That’s horrible” he said.

“Yeah it was rather disgusting to watch” I said.

“I can imagine” he said.

“I hope you realize that once Liam has his degree that he’ll be back teaching” I said folding my arms.

“it’s okay Bianca I know. That’s why it’s called substitute. I can see you’re very protective of him aren’t you?” Chris said.

“Well yeah. He’s my husband” I said.

The bell started to ring.

“Okay you guys should get to your classes” Gina said to us.

I gave Gina an annoyed look and walked to my class.

“Okay everyone settle down please and don’t annoy me today cos I’m not in the mood” I said as soon as I entered the room.

“Mrs Murphy?” Ruby called.

“Yes Rubes” I replied.

“When is Mr Murphy coming back? No one has given us an answer” she said.

“Hopefully in about 6 months when he finishes his degree. Until then you have a substitute teacher” I answered. “Now can we get back to learning Italian”

“But how come he needs a degree now, he’s been teaching us for over a year” Xavier said.

“Is that Italian Xav?” I asked.

“No but” he started.

“Okay look I appreciate the concern but you guys I’m not going to talk about this with you” I said.

“You might feel better if you talk” Dexter said.

I could feel myself losing my cool. “Please I am not in the mood so just open your books and read something” I instructed impatiently. I looked at my phone as it began to ring. “Charlie just hold on one second” I said into the phone. “I am taking this outside. Just do me a favour and do your work quietly”

“Can I talk to you now?” Charlie asked as I closed the door behind me.

“Yeah I’m outside in the corridor now. What’s up?” I asked.

“Emily is in major trouble. She has been expelled from the School now and her parents have taken away her phone and internet rights. She can only now complete her Schooling at home. I haven’t really charged her with anything as I think that is the best punishment for now” Charlie said.

“Well good then” I replied.

“You think its good that she can’t be with her friends at School?” Charlie asked.

“In my opinion she deserves a whole lot more then that. You don’t know how disgusting it was to watch her in a make out session with my husband, you don’t know what it felt like to watch that take place right in front of you Charlie I felt physically sick. And then she locked him up in some room almost like kidnapping cos she wanted to do god knows what to him and she’s not getting charged for that?” I said angrily.

“I can only charge her for that if Liam presses charges and I haven’t heard from him so I don’t know if he’s going to. Oh wait. He’s here” Charlie said.

“He’s there at the Station” I asked.

“Yeah Bianca just hold on he wants to talk with you” Charlie said.

“Baby I’m going to press charges. She needs to be punished severely for what she did” Liam told me.

“I agree babe I agree” I said.

“Okay well I love you I’ll put you back with Charlie” Liam said.

“Love you too babe” I replied.

“Bianca, okay I’m assuming you want to listen to this?” Charlie asked.

“Yeah but it needs to be quick I have to get back to my class in a second” I said.

“Okay well since this is the only thing she has done really wrong she will most likely only get a fine. I doubt she’d get jail time but that is not up to me to decide. She might get community service but that’s unlikely. I’d say it will just be a really big fine. She is still a minor”

“Okay well I don’t really want her to go to jail I think that’s a bit extreme. The fine would be a better option. I know its not up to me though” Liam said.

“Guys I have to go back to class okay, want to both meet me for lunch at the diner?” I asked.

“Yeah sure” Charlie agreed.

“Yeah baby I’ll see you then” Liam said.

“Okay bye” I replied.

I walked back into the classroom. “Sorry everyone” I said.

“Was that about Emily?” Xavier asked.

“Xav” Ruby hissed.

“Were you listening Xav?” I asked annoyed.

“Only out of concern and kindness” he admitted.

“Sorry Xav but I’m giving you detention today. It’s not good to eavesdrop” I said.

“Yeah just like what you were doing the other day” he replied.

“Xavier Austin” I replied crossly. “That is completely different and you know it. Do you want to make it dentition for two afternoons?”

“No sorry” he replied.

“Okay everyone just do some revision or something tonight okay?” I said as the bell rang. “Xav I want to speak to you”

“Okay” he said nervously.

“I don’t want other students to know any more about my personal life then they already do Xav” I said when everyone left.

“I know but I was just really concerned” Xavier said.

“Well thanks but I’m okay” I said.

“No actually your not but if that’s what your telling yourself then I believe it” he said. “See you later”

“Bye” I sighed.

I almost bumped into Chris on my way out of the classroom.

“Oops. Hi” I said.

“Hi Bianca” he replied.

“So um I just want to say sorry about this morning” I said.

“It’s okay” he said.

“No really. I was being a bitch and I’m sorry. I know I can be a bitch sometimes but I guess you’ll get used to that eventually” I said.

Chris smiled. “I haven’t heard anyone admit that they are a bitch before” he said.

I laughed. “Well I can admit it” I said.

“Yes I see” he said.

“So do you have plans now? I’m going down to the diner to meet Liam and my friend Charlie if you want to join me” I said.

“Yeah sure. Sounds good” he said.

“So do you have a place to stay?” I asked.

“I’m staying at the Caravan Park at the moment” he replied.

“Oh no. Don’t you want to stay in a house? We have a spare room” I said.

“Are you sure?” he asked.

“I mean I need to ask Liam but yeah I’m sure” I said.

“That would be great if I could stay with you guys” he said.

“Just warning you though Liam and I are very um.. sexual” I said.

“Yeah I figured. And it doesn’t bother me” he said.

“Okay just checking” I said.

We walked into the diner.

“Well they aren’t here yet lets just get a table” I said.

“Okay” he agreed.

“Hey girlie, whose you’re friend?” Irene asked.

“Chris Wilson” I answered.

“Irene Roberts. Nice to meet you Chris” Irene said.

“Likewise” he said.

“So how do you know each other?”

“I used to practice with Liam a lot” Chris answered.

“Yeah now he’s taking over Liam’s job until he comes back” I said.

“Right. Are you waiting for your man to come?” Irene asked.

“Of course” I replied.

“Yeah that was a silly question I suppose” Irene said. “I’ll leave you guys to it”

“Irene’s kinda like a mum to me” I said to Chris as she walked away.

“Yeah? She seems really nice” he said.

“She is very nice. Much nicer then my own mother” I said.

“Hey” Charlie greeted us.

“Hey Charles” I said. “This is Chris, one of Liam’s old friends”

“Nice to meet you. I’m Charlie” she replied.

“Hi” Chris smiled.

“So where’s Liam? I thought you were with him” I asked.

“I was. He went home first or that’s what he said anyway” Charlie replied.

I frowned.

“Bianca don’t start to panic just call and see where he is” Charlie suggested.

I called Liam’s phone.

“Don’t know if you know this or not but there was a situation last week” Charlie said.

“Yeah between Liam and some student? I know a bit” Chris replied.

“It’s okay he is on his way” I said relieved.

“Not everyone is going to end up being like what Emily did” Charlie said.

“I know that” I replied. “It was just so awful to watch I guess I’m still getting over it plus everything else that has happened”

“What else has happened?” Charlie asked.

“You mean Morag didn’t mention? Mum and Vittorio took Daniel back to Italy so the case got called off” I said.

“Oh yeah she did mention that when she dropped in on Saturday” Charlie said. “I should have called you but I was just busy with the Station and Joey”

“It’s okay. I wasn’t in a great mood and still not I guess”

“But still I should have called.. you’re my best friend and I didn’t even do anything” Charlie said guiltily.

“Charles don’t worry ok? Liam, April and I just stayed in all weekend and did nothing aside from going to the Uni on Saturday. How is Joey anyway?” I asked changing the subject.

Charlie grinned. “Do you really want to know” she said.

“Um maybe not” I replied. “I think I know what you two got up to”

“Hey there she is with Liam” Charlie said gesturing for them to come over.

“Hey” Joey said giving Charlie a kiss.

“Hey mate” Liam greeted Chris.

“Hi” Chris replied.

“Hey baby” Liam kissed me.

“Hi yourself babe” I replied.

“How is School going?” he asked.

“Frustratingly annoying” I said. “I had to give Xavier dentition”

“What, why?” Liam asked.

“He was trying to eavesdrop on our conversation this morning. He said he did it only out of concern and kindness. Then he had to go and say that its not fair that he got detention since I was doing the same thing with you on Friday but I told him that was completely different” I said. “The kids have been asking about you again”

Liam smiled. “That’s nice that they are asking. Must have made some sort of impression on them”

“I’d say you made a big impression on them” I said.

“And on you too” Liam said.

“But of course” I smiled giving him a kiss.

“Is it always like this?” Chris asked Charlie.

“Oh yeah” Charlie said. “One time when they were dating they were kissing on the beach and I had to tell them to leave cos they were getting too heavy”

“Charlie” I said annoyed.

“It’s the truth” she said.

“Yeah and on that same day I kicked them out of here” Irene said.

“Oh okay” Liam said rolling his eyes. “We like it”

“We know” Charlie laughed.

“Hold on, only like?” I asked.

“Sorry, I meant love, we love it love it” Liam said.

“That’s much better” I said.

“Oh dear” Chris said.

“I did warn you” I said.

“I know, I wasn’t expecting it to be this much though” Chris said.

Liam shrugged. “When your deep in love mate then you won’t care who sees and you’d want to show the world”

Irene coughed. “Anyway you guys ready to order?”

We all ordered our food.

“So babe Chris is staying at the Caravan Park” I said.

“Oh yeah?” Liam said.

“Yeah I am. It’s not too bad” he said.

“But we have a spare room” I said.

“Yes we do” Liam said.

“Geez babe must I spell it out for you” I said.

“No I know what your getting at” Liam laughed. “Do you need help with your stuff?”

“Are you sure you want me living with you? I might cramp your style” he said.

“Well if you do we can always chuck you out” I joked.

Chris laughed. “Funny” he said.

“This one can be funny when she wants to be” Liam said.

“Oi are you two going to come up for air sometime soon?” I asked Charlie & Joey.

“If we have to” Charlie groaned.

“Yeah cos Irene might have to kick you guys out soon” I grinned.

Joey giggled. “We aren’t that bad are we?” she asked.

“Worse” I laughed.

“Yeah well you guys aren’t the only ones that love doing that” Charlie grinned.

“So is everyone paired up here?” Chris asked.

“Um just about” Liam said. “But mate I know someone that could be good for you”

“Yeah who?”

“You remember my brother Luke? I think you might have met him” Liam said.

“Yeah vaguely” Chris replied.

“Well he is single at the moment. He’d be good for you”

“Great. I’d love to see him again” Chris said.

“Awesome. I’ll set it up then” Liam said.

“Anyway before that happens we have to get back to School” I said.

“Oh yeah and I’ve got to go back to the Station” Charlie said.

“Do you have to?” Joey winged.

“Yeah unless you want me to get fired” Charlie said.

“Well….” Joey pretended to think.

“Joey Collins” Charlie grinned.

“I’m joking… kinda. Go” she said.

Charlie laughed. “Okay bye everyone” she said giving Joey a kiss goodbye.

“Bye Charles” I replied.

“Let’s go before we get into trouble” Chris said.

“Yup” I said. “Bye babe” I kissed Liam. “See ya Jo”

“Bye” they replied.

[Red Ranger 1]

Good that Emily's been expelled.Bianca seems a bit tense...Looking forward to more.

[Miranda]

I liked the University scenes and Liam/Bianca in general

[HighwayUnicorn]

I liked the interaction in that chapter so really well done.

[Zetti]

I like the recent updates

[lozlovesh&a]

“So how do you like the room?” Liam asked Chris.

“It’s way better then the caravan” Chris replied.

“Yeah I bet” I said.

“Whose is the other room?” he asked.

“My sister’s. But she lives more at Irene’s then with us” I replied.

“How come?” Chris asked.

“Because I used to live there too” I said.

“Until I asked her to marry me” Liam added.

“And she decided that she’d rather live with Irene cos she doesn’t have sex all the time” I grinned. “I’ll get the phone” I said. “Hello?”

“Hi Bianca” Kylie said.

“Hey Kylie how are you?” I asked.

“Great you?” she said.

“Yeah good. So what’s up?”

“Well I had that date with Angelo and we didn’t really click. I mean he’s a nice guy and everything but I think we’re better off as friends” she said.

“Oh, does he know that?” I asked.

“Yeah we both pretty much discovered that at the same time” she said.

“Well at least you know now rather then later” I said.

“Yeah true. Anyway is Liam with you? I need to talk to him for a minute” she said.

“Yeah sure hold on one sec” I said. “Babe, Kylie wants to speak with you”

He took the phone off me and went to the other room.

“Um. Was that Kylie Minogue?” Chris asked.

“Yes” I said.

“Wow” Chris replied.

“I know right? But Liam’s been supporting her and her tour’s about to end so I’m not sure what she wants to talk to him about”

Liam came back smiling.

“So?” I questioned.

“No it’s just that my merchandise and cd have been selling through the roof” Liam said.

I smiled. “And? Come on I know there is more” I said.

Liam laughed. “It’s just that she wants to have a big party and celebrate and she wants us to stay with her in France for awhile”

“What, France really?” I asked excited.

“Yeah it would be for a couple of months, after I finish Uni” he said.

I grinned. “Okay I’ll tell Gina and get time off” I said.

“You wouldn’t need much time since it would be in the Christmas holidays” Liam said.

“Oh wow Christmas in France” I said.

“I know” Liam grinned.

“Oh I think maybe you might need to talk to Angelo” I said.

“How come?”

“There date didn’t go to well. Kylie said they didn’t click”

“Oh that’s too bad” Liam replied. “Kylie was real excited about it when I spoke to her before”

“I’ll get the door” Chris said.

“Hey mate… oh you’re not Liam” Angelo said.

“No I’m not” Chris agreed. “I’m Chris”

“Hey Angelo” I called out.

“Hey mate” Liam grinned.

“Hey, leave the door open cos Miles & Sid are right behind me” he said.

“Okay” Liam replied.

“Hey everyone” Miles greeted us.

“Hey we bought some beers” Sid added.

“Didn’t know this was going to turn into a guys night” I said looking at all the men in my house.

Liam walked over to me. “You need to relax baby” he said.

“Yeah have a beer Bianca” Sid suggested.

“Okay” I agreed.

Sid handed me one.

“Thanks” I replied opening it and taking a sip. “Yeah no I still don’t like beer”

“I’ll drink it” Liam grabbed it off me. “I’m surprised you even took a sip”

“Yeah well I’m kind of in a drinking mood” I said.

Liam frowned. “I don’t like the sound of that” he said.

I went to grab my bag. “I’m going out” I said heading for the door.

“Bianca wait” Liam said.

I turned around. “What?” I asked.

“Don’t leave” he said. “You’ve been in a weird mood all weekend”

I shrugged. “So aren’t I allowed to be?” I asked.

“Yeah but I’m just worried about you” he said.

“Well don’t be. I’m going to go to Leah’s” I said giving him a kiss and walked out the door.
