The clouds were rolling in, and it was unusually dark for the time of day. I felt like there was going to be a storm. I was wrapped up safe and warm in my big sisters coat which I’d pinched from her, seeing as she never wore it anymore anyway. School has been a tough week, but it was Friday at last!454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zCrzog0Xr

I was staring into space, lost in my own thoughts, when I was pulled back into reality by the bus pulling up at school. It was finally time to make my weekly treck home to Daddy's for the weekend, this week had gone so slowly.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJq8K5vVJdq

I go to a boarding school for girls, it’s out in the middle of nowhere, and I hate it. I don't feel like I fit in at all, and some of the girls are so mean. They're all from very well off backgrounds, I am too (my daddy is a world leading surgeon in neuroscience) but I still don't feel like I fit in with the rest of them.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGuaUP16I8

Zosia says Daddy sent me there to give me the best chance in life with a good education, but I feel he wants me out the way so he doesn’t have to look after me as well as for the education.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdWkCRVqa8

I come home on the weekends and holidays, and I've got one week left of this half term, before a week off...but it also means its nearly the anniversary of my mum passing away.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOVZ5bHHsf
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3zb3hKzk6
Sometimes I get to stay with my sister, Zosia, on the weekend, but thats only as a special treat, because she's always very busy with work, but she does try and make some time to see me each weekend I am home. 454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOFwcS5Cky
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8XYSjdWHK
My bus route on the way home from school stops right out side the hospital where my sister works, sometimes I get off and see her and go home with her or daddy, and sometimes I just go straight home, it just depends how I’m feeling…and how much I want my bed!454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41Yr8PUj4P
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3esasIBDRE
It was a cold Friday afternoon this day, but it wasn't any different to any other. It had been a tough week, and some of the girls had been saying some very cruel things to me. I was feeling sad and sorry for myself, and decided I wanted a hug from my big sister.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWP0J99IdkT
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvG9DQWoGdJ
I climbed on the bus, and sat in my usual seat in the back corner with my weekend bag at my feet and put my headphones in, ready for the 2 and a half hour drive back home.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJwZVoCoCB
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsktUH3OHs
I watched the winding country roads become towns, motorways then city, all the time getting closer to home. I like this drive, because it gives me a chance to do my homework, and get my thoughts together. 454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcVkSX2Aey
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFvuTiRkIg
Some of the girls on the bus really annoy me, but luckily most of them get off before my stop.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ519QAjVDsc
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrfMgRa2of
It started to rain while I was on the bus, and it gradually getting worse and worse the closer I got to home.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvOQoAXrsr
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupdCpj7o2U
After what felt like an age, it was my stop, after a particularly noisy bus journey. I stepped off the bus and looked at the hospital. I felt emotional for some reason, maybe it was just the week catching up with me.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9l8cRwZW41
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAupkQHIITN
I made my way across the carpark rather hastily to avoid getting too wet (although I was unsuccessful) and weaved my way through the corridors towards Darwin, my bag seemed to get heavier with every step I took. I had brought a couple of sets of clothes, my favourite pj’s, teddy and blanket and my laptop back from school with me, all the rest of my things come home in the holidays.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vAzJTQfLG
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBycNwTFsCk
Jac was sat at the desk in the middle of the ward as I walked out the lift and up the corridor. I was happy to see her, she used to scare me, but when she got with daddy I got to know her more, and she’s pretty cool…especially when she takes me out for the day on her motorbike. She still does that even though she split up. Plus she’s been really nice to Zosia and looking after her recently.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90KqBQ2Vq5
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBkYzW9Zk1
"Hey you!” She smiled to me as I got to the desk. I sighed.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlVXvRfwDf
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQECMHTdevx
“You didn’t escape this wonderful weather then…” She said.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhrxPGD6bO
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLSGn2HRxt
I shook my head and raised my eyebrows in response.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xNOAPyM75
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuA470MizcH
"You look like you've had a good week…” She trailed off sarcastically. My mood was apparently written all over my face. I wasn’t impressed with the fact I looked like a drowned rat either.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRga37gRH0y
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQ5S9BRZrX
I sighed again, I wasn’t in the mood for small talk.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHF7lrJcWN
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLl305UTem
“Where’s Zosia?” I asked. 454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBx59g12Ld
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBnQ2emf4J
“She is in surgery with Mo at the moment, but she should be out in just under an hour if everything goes to plan.” Jac replied.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJglvXU7Sz
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRpMu5nH7n
I sighed for about the 3rd time in the last minute.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyal8XAB5O
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQn4YpXtDx
“Do you want me to get your dad?” She asked.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVHO8QjM5l
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iqodGJwcu
I shook my head quite aggressively. I didn’t like getting dad involved in anything unless I absolutely had to.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEF4xkHKGf
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtTtX3pbad
“Didn’t think you would, but just thought I would check.” She smiled, trying to lighten my mood.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCTZsAuLTN
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMKu4aVUI1
“…I want my sister…” I mumbled.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCJ9ON6jjH
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5sYVCDWYh
“Will a hug do from me for now to cheer you up until she gets out of surgery?” Jac suggested.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5X0ixlkqR
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSt1MmAO8a
I nodded and sat on the desk, lent against Jac’s chest and let her wrap her arms around me and squeeze me tightly. Her long hair was tickling the side of my face.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSAhY5gLD0
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQp7OWWbXN
Once I was released from the embrace, I slid off the desk, lent against the inside it and allowed myself to slide to the floor.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡact15Q01Ph
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMA3hZv0I8
I leant my head on the edge of Jac’s knee and closed my eyes. She gently traced the edge of my face, and allowed me to zone out into my own little world for a few minutes. 454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNDe3GSgu6
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qzBcd5rZx
“You know you can’t stay sat in the middle of my ward.” Jac said, after a few minutes. 454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCToDZVjg1
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgg90sb9ctU
I grumbled and scowled back at her.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADi2Bd2ttK
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbkiAlHG68
“How about my office?” Jac asked, she was trying to be as accommodating as possible, even though I wasn’t really supposed to be there at all.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6cixBuSBK
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEnUOz15es
I didn’t reply and she raised her eyebrows at me, I wished I could stay here in my bubble until my sister came back.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAJfVZpd4Z
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTai1GeD4F
I nodded at her raised eyebrows.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkfsJlpnEY
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwsqzRzTIQ
“You can go on the comfy sofa in my office, or the staffroom if you would prefer? There won’t be people coming and going from my office, it’ll be quiet if that’s what you want?” She said.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4aSnpXhkP
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfeV4x4SLD
“Can I go in your office please?” I asked.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJBzy6wxgh
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaDfWTFtw3
“There’s food and a TV in the staffroom?” She checked, normally I wouldn’t have turned that offer down, but I didn’t feel like socialising today.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0zSelDfzc
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXg9VxAotb
“There’s better wifi in your office.” I replied flatly. She smiled at me and accepted my point.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWl7rKrKG9
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLQ7LFmMau
“We’ll go to the staff loo’s and you can put your PJ’s or comfy clothes on, then I’ll leave you in my office. I am sure Mo won’t mind you munching on some of her chocolate stash.” Jac said.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgt1oRWLuKw
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jOBii27Sa
She picked my bag up, and held out her hand to me to help me up off the floor. I went and got changed and settled myself with my blanket and laptop on the sofa, with my back to the door.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvQzXpQfyw
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbUoVWYOSW
“I’ll send Zosia in when she’s out of surgery, rest up lil’ un” Jac said as she closed the door to her office.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbumdlZmKoG
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8fmgMfVnn
I could faintly hear the noises of the ward, I put something on on Netfix and curled up in my blanket…454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIP4X53g1r
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvR6Cg4lID
I must have fallen asleep, because the next thing I knew Zosia was sat on the sofa next to me, gently playing with the ends of my long hair.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdI0yNreXpR
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETN7R9o5m5
“Wakey wakey, sleepy head” Zosia whispered as I sat up slowly and stretched.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUs1HeEgZ7W
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcuIv14Pzl
I crawled closer to her and wrapped my arms around her, I couldn't take it any longer. Tears started falling down my cheeks, and there was nothing I could do to stop them. I needed a cuddle. Zosia might have her flaws, but I loved her and I wouldn't want her any other way.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmZqpURy2p
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFP0TfrWTz
"Princess?" Zosia whispered.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdI5ChsFuIp
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLY0LvZDRPe
I was too upset, and couldn’t quite get my words out. 454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIqWM3ZGi9
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvE0zTw5GDZ
"Princess? What's wrong?" Zosia fussed. She was good at fussing. She kissed my forehead and pulled me into her chest, giving me a massive cuddle. She sat and held onto me while I sobbed, making me feel safe.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWiCBIQ0YD
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSEQifB5m6
“I-I..." I sobbed, I couldn't get myself to finish the end of my sentence.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQazOObqC1
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2suQO9MBa
“Ssssh, calm down before you try and speak" She whispered to me. She pulled me over her lap, so my bum was one side and my legs were over her lap. I curled into her with my head in her neck and started playing with the tips of her hair.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyl3579YXw
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4L5Pgxs6c
"Whats wrong? I know something is up because this isn’t like you..." Zosia told me, I couldn't avoid it any longer and we both knew it.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxilbxsS1d
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIwj7PQKzJ
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCu7qLrH4f
I took a few deep breaths and shut my eyes.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZcm1kX2Bl
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3pVLn9egv
“I wish Mama was still here” I whispered.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTCvdiOxdP
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYtopmqxuf
“Would you like to come and stay at mine tonight?” Zosia asked, squeezing me for a few seconds.454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmCjYPU28o
454Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDayEMOxrR0
I nodded.
