The truth is best left hidden

It was all quiet in the dingle house when Debbie crept downstairs at 5am. She poured herself a glass of orange juice and sat quietly on the sofa, re-playing events in her mind. after she had been sitting down there for what seemed like ten minutes, she heard a creak from the stairs. she turned around to see who it was up so early, and to her surprise it was Chas.
"What are you doing up this early?" She asked.
"Putting the emersion on so I can have a bath before work. Anyway, I could ask you the same question!" Chas replied, flicking the switch on the wall.
I was erm.. just thinking, you know. About..." the silence seemed to echo in Debbie' mind.
Chas sat down next to her. It seemed to bring Debbie back to reality.
"About school.. yeh school" she said quickly, the words tumbling out of her mouth.
Chas eyed her suspiciously. Debbie was starting into space again.
"How long have you been down here?" Chas asked.
Debbie glanced at the clock.
"if that clocks right, an hour, but it only feels like a few minutes to me" she said softly.
"What was so interesting at school that it's had you down here for an hour?" Chas asked.
"A project" she said, smiling to herself - she was becoming quite good at this lying lark.
She could tell Chas didn't believe a word.
"Andy was it?" she asked.
"No, he's the last personI would want to think about". She stood up. "If it wasn't for him I wouldn't be in this mess" she said. She thought she had said it to herself until she saw the worried look on Chas's face.
"Well best get ready for school" she said making a run for it before Chas could ask her anything else about it.

Viv was opening the shop when Donna came down humming to herslef and grinning.
"What's made you so happy this morning eh?" Viv asked, setting out newspapers and magazines.
"Nothing" Donna smiled walking through to the cafe to open up.
"Hopes it's not that Marlon!" Viv moaned, but Donna was so occupied she didn't notice.

Yep, that is very good. Waiting for more soon. I'm guessing Donna and Debbie are pregnant?

Debbie got on the bus as Normal. When the bus stopped outside the school she hesitated in getting off.
"You coming?" Daz asked her.
"I've erm.. forgotten my folder, got to go back and get it" she said, sitting firmly on her seat. She went into town. She wanted to try and find a chemist, so she could be back at school by the afternoon and pretend to her family she had been there the whole day.

Back in Emmerdale, The Kings were having a meeting at Tom's house.
"It's not a question of when we can buy the land" Jimmy insisted. "It's a question of for how much"
"That’s true Jimmy, lad" Tom said, scribbling something in a notebook.
"Is that meeting over?" Max asked. he didn't wait for a reply. "good, right then, I’m off to the pub" he laughed, and got up and left.
"I that boy for real?" Carl said, leaving to take Fenella for a walk.

Meanwhile, back in Hotton, Debbie was making her way to the chemist. What she didn't know was, Chas was in town doing some shopping. She decided to quiz Debbie over this later, see if the truth comes out.

Over at the woolpack, Donna was chatting to Marlon, behind the bar. They kept kissing each other, which got some disapproval from Viv when she entered. She rushed straight over to them. "Donna, stop that at once" she commanded. "It's ok for you to knowthe gossip, but not be it" she said in an angry whisper.
"Mumm" Moaned Donna, giggling.

Later, back at the Dingles, when Debbie was home from school, she hoped no-one was home. Lisa was watching television, and Chas was in the Kitchen.
"Oh Hello Debbie Love. Did you have a good day?" Lisa asked.
"Fine" she said flatly.
"Well, I must go and get Belle, see you later" she said leaving. Debbie was about to make her way up to her room.
"Debbie” Chas called, walking over to her.
“Oh, Hiya Chas” she said.
”Good day at school?” Chas queried.
“yeh, great. The morning could have been better, but oh well”<br>“Oh right, and what lessons did you have this morning?” Chas asked.
“Erm.. games, and erm.. Science” she said. “Can I go now, I’ve got homework to do”. Chas’s worries about Debbie increased.
“Before you do, I think you and me need to have a little chat, don’t you?” Chas said. Debbie felt trapped.
“At least let me gate changed first, I hate this school uniform”.
After a few minutes, Chas went up and knocked on Debbie’s door.
“Thought you were going to get changed?” she said. Debbie was leaning on the windowsill looking out of the window.
“Changed? Oh right yeh. Changed” she said.
“Debbie, stop all this” Chas said. “Come and sit down, I want to have a little chat with you”.
“About…”
“Why the school rung this morning to ask where you were? And why I saw you in town, in the chemist, and … Look Debbie” Chas put her arm round her.
“Tell me what’s going on” she said gently. Debbie had a look of horror on her face.
“Going on?” she said. “Nothing”.
