Tom's POV -

"Why did you do it Tom?" Jay asked after about five minutes of silence. He had just spent the time in the corner, looking at me and not saying anything, but I knew what he was thinking and I knew what he really wanted to say.

"I've told you that already. Are you stupid?" I muttered sarcastically.

"I'm not that one that slept with a student..." Jay snapped.

"Told you, I didn't sleep with her, I was just in a relationship with her. There's a difference." I stated as I changed the direction of my eye line so I was no longer looking at her.

"Whatever you did, it was still illegal. You're still going to prison and you're still never going to see Rachel again." Jay smirked, like my life being ruined was something to be happy about and like this is what he had always wanted to happen to me.

"Look, just shut up. I can't be doing with you right now." I said.

"Ah, are you Mr.Parker?" I heard someone ask and I looked up to see two police officers stood in the doorway, looking at me like I was one of the worst people they had ever seen; it's almost like I had murdered someone.

"Yeah, that's me..." I replied.

"Well, I'm PC Jones and this is PC Webb. I assume you know why we're here?" he questioned me like I was an idiot and didn't know why.

"Just ask what you have to ask, then you can leave me alone." I said, turning my attention back to the spot which Jay occupied, him listening carefully to everything I had to say, like this was a story for him to enjoy.

"Right then, firstly, have you ever engaged in sexual relations with the victim in question?"

"You use the word 'victim' like I left her at the side of the road to die. She's not a victim, I love her and she loves me. We have a relationship together. That's about all there is to say." I snapped, leaning across the table and getting into their faces to make the point that I wanted to make to them.

"We haven't got time for games here. Did you really think you'd be able to have a proper relationship with Miss.Brown?" PC Webb asked, looking at me intently and with a serious look on his face.

"We've managed it for the past few months now. Guess it's not that difficult to maintain a relationship with her." I shrugged.

"Mr.Parker, you need to let go and you need to let her be free. You're never going to be able to have a relationship with her, no matter how much you love each other." Officer Jones said, but I didn't really care, my mind was in other places right now and I was distracted by my thoughts.

"PC Jones, you need to leave me alone and stop telling me what to do. It's my life and I'll do what I like because we love each other." I replied sarcastically.

"You will never be able to have a relationship with Miss.Brown after this, I'll make sure of that one. Now, have you engaged in sexual relations with Miss.Brown?" PC Jones repeated, but I wasn't in the mood for this anymore and I just got up from my seat, walking out of the room, ignoring the shouts which were now coming from behind me.

"Tom, don't be stupid, just stay away from her." Jay said as he appeared in front of me and tried to stop me from what I was doing, like he suddenly cared about me and didn't want anything to happen to me because I was being like this, but it was too late for that.

"If you loved someone the way that I love Rachel, then you would understand and you would do the same. I have to see her, I can't lose her again." I snapped pushing him out of my way and walking down the corridor, seeing Rachel in a room with two other officers and, as soon as I saw her, I was overwhelmed with emotions and the sadness took over me again.

I suddenly lost all the fight that I had before and tears filled my eyes as I saw her sitting there, having to be put through all this because of me and I hated it.

"RACHEL!" I shouted and then started banging on the door to get her attention.

She turned around and looked at me, clearly not wanting to be there and wanting to avoid all of this right now. But that wasn't going to happen, this is where we were now and this was where our lives were going to change.

She only looked away when one of the officers interviewing her clicked his fingers in her face, while I was trying to fight off Jay, PC Jones and PC Webb, just so I could get her to look at me because I needed to see her and speak to her one last time.

"Tom, just leave her and come with us. This is just ridiculous now and you're not helping yourself here." Jay said as he grabbed hold of my arm and attempted to pull me away, but before he had a chance to do that, Rachel had opened the door and stood there looking me in the eyes with tears in her own.

She just stood there, not saying anything, then turned and went to walk away from me. She was going to just leave me, after everything, and I wasn't going to let that happen.

I managed to pull myself out of Jay's grip and grabbed hold of Rachel's arm, pulling her back round so she was now looking at me again.

"I'm sorry." I muttered.

"Don't be sorry, this is partly my fault. I never should have got involved with you again, I should have just ignored you and forgotten about the way you make me feel. We wouldn't be here now." she replied as I took hold of her free hand with mine, not wanting her to go before I'd said what I needed to tell her.

"No, I'm serious Rach, I should have left when I found out you were a student here, but I let my feelings get the better of me. I just, when I saw you again, I couldn't help it, I still loved you and I hated myself for leaving you, I needed you back in my life. Now, here we are, in this position and I wish we weren't. It's going to be better if you move on and forget about me. I love you Rach, never forget that." I said as I gave her one last kiss on the lips, wanting to give her something good to remember once I had left her. I then decided I was going to walk off with Jay and the two officers, sharing one last glance with Rachel as I did so.

"Better for who Tom? Better for who?" Rachel shouted after me with tears rolling down her cheeks and sadness written all over her face because of what I had said.

"Both of us, just, trust me please babe. Move on and be happy." I replied with a half-hearted smile, trying to make the situation seem slightly worse than it actually was.

"I can't move on, not when I'm pregnant with your child!" she cried, causing us all to turn around in total shock because of what she had just informed me about.

"W-w-what?" I replied.

"I'm pregnant Tom. I found out yesterday and I was trying to find the time to tell you."

"You told me you weren't sleeping with her?" Jay shouted, like he was surprised that I had lied to him about that.

"Of course I was going to lie to you. Use your brain Jay." I replied sarcastcially.

"I thought you would actually have told the truth." Jay shouted.

"Oh, just leave me alone, for God's sake!" I snapped in response.

"Look, I'm just going home. I guess I won't get to see you again after all this is done with..." Rachel sighed as she looked at the ground; I could see the tears falling from her eyes as she did so.

"Are you just going to give up on us? Just like that?" I questioned her.

"Is there any point in fighting anymore?" she replied, answering the question without even meaning to.

She was going to give up everything and she was just going to stop fighting, just like that, everything we had gone through was going to be for nothing.

All because of a small bump in the road and something pulling us back to where we started from before.

"So you are giving up?" I asked.

"I suppose that's exactly what I'm doing Tom. I hope that, one day, you can forgive me for walking away and never looking back. This is for the best though, especially since, once my parents find out, they're going to make sure I never see you again and they're going to make sure that you pay." she sighed.

"But your parents don't care about you any other time, what's so special about this time around?" I snapped angrily.

Her parents didn't care about her, they never had done and they never did, unless there was something which risked ruining their name.

This was something that would do that which is the only reason why they were going to give a damn this time around and why they were going to make sure I paid for this happening.

"Because I'm pregnant and my parents have never liked you, they always thought you were going to destroy my life is some way." she shouted with a tone of annoyance and she had the right to be annoyed, I had just been rude to her and wanted her to tell me everything that she should have told me before.

"Then why did you go off with me if I was going to 'destroy' your life and your parents didn't like me?" I asked, walking over to her and lifting her head up so that she was looking at me again and wasn't just staring at the floor as she spoke.

"Because my parents have always wanted me to be perfect. They made me study the subjects that they wanted me to study, made me pick the University that they wanted and they have always made sure that I remained single so that I didn't screw my life up. You were the one thing that my parents hated and I loved that fact; I loved that, for once, I was happy and doing something that I wanted to do, even when I knew we were breaking the law by even being together. I've never wanted anyone other than you, even after you left me and broke my heart. I hated you, but I couldn't just turn my emotions off when I felt like it. I love you Tom and you are my everything. I need you in my life and I've got no idea what I'm going to do without you. You've always been my strength, you're the reason for my smile and you make me happy. I don't want you to ever forget that." she replied as she cried even harder, the tears falling onto my hand as I held her face and rubbed her cheek with my thumb.

" Move in circles at night, you've given up the fight, like the streets that you're always walking on, you died inside, and you don't know why, so you try to turn the light on, but stand up and never say never, 'cause this life is gunna get better, take a breath, shake it off and say, I'm on my way..." I sung softly in her ear as I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her in close to me, my chin resting on the top of her head before I placed a kiss on her cheek.

"...you've been down and feel so fed up, when they tell you, you might not get up, might not be on top of the world but hey, here's what you say, you might work but I work harder, you might fight but I fight smarter, might not be on top of the world but hey, I'm on my way, you might fly but I fly higher, you're so hot but I'm on fire, might not be on top of the world but hey, I'm on my way..." Rachel muttered into my chest, her tears leaving a wet patch behind on my shirt as her arms found their way around my waist and she resumed her previous tight grip around me.

"Me and you, forever and always babe, no matter what happens." I replied.

"And what about the baby?" she questioned.

"I'll do what I can, I'm always going to be there because this is down to me as well. We're in this together now." I replied with a smile as I hugged her and held her close to me for what would be the last time for a while.

"I've got an idea..." Rachel whispered excitedly as she pulled away from me slightly, a smile on her face and her eyes suddenly full of hope and excitement.

"Well, tell me then." I chuckled.
