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!551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4m9yDn5cFV

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.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjj304WtaAy

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.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1p7REOTeYw

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.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7X8UP79YRh

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.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1rKK9kPlH
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPLiLb8U7C
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. 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqRSjZmm9b
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhfNZ3zDcU
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!551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GkmYRXIgt

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.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR25HKR8K6O
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qW2UoBhzU
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.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxUDVHOz1d
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRt6Kj7QkSd
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. 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpo6OtJSIHD
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNiYq8REV2
Some of the girls on the bus really annoy me, but luckily most of them get off before my stop.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjAQ5ekXTL
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAMOQ0WOju
It started to rain while I was on the bus, and it gradually getting worse and worse the closer I got to home.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlbHUTPF9U
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1H3oDmzZdj
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.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGn472yVbb

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.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJJFaU26Fo
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPe8Aku1VCR
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.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyePCisyQ0V
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EhmfgDC8G
"Hey you!” She smiled to me as I got to the desk. I sighed.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYKSUzIqux
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7zxeycEk2
“You didn’t escape this wonderful weather then…” She said.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6y5xwQzKMd
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dGD9tSWED
I shook my head and raised my eyebrows in response.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkhjPwy4DH
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTmnnH2iYk
"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.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGiLhbu6qZ
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH64t5EkyLY
 I sighed again, I wasn’t in the mood for small talk.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76tE69c8ZF
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCtYcTJ5En
“Where’s Zosia?” I asked. 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyKZoS8Z6I
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡritEzM06oi
“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.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7T9ZgTp2S
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3NtYbs0KJ
I sighed for about the 3rd time in the last minute.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2U7QDCLIt1
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43dsKvM48w
“Do you want me to get your dad?” She asked.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUlUKCEgfY
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisKTNX5pI9
I shook my head quite aggressively. I didn’t like getting dad involved in anything unless I absolutely had to.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qj63W1beN
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4ynkRHnbG
“Didn’t think you would, but just thought I would check.” She smiled, trying to lighten my mood.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKaXiQmsAu
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aHLDmJJXz
“…I want my sister…” I mumbled.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPL3xx5LB7
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoWck2jJbc
“Will a hug do from me for now to cheer you up until she gets out of surgery?” Jac suggested.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbSOvb1s7B
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMSqllPH7I
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.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwJdmwt8MK
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0XPtPtJ3O
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.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZprZpAS8oe
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3gPsNg93p
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.   551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTAVaZWR4U

“You know you can’t stay sat in the middle of my ward.” Jac said, after a few minutes. 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAgASGYFMe
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkNiKQOhcQ
I grumbled and scowled back at her.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrMbkEnVvN
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yI4VhNIre
“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.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcqBYd6ghL
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA48nBgFMlY
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.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBjWQVIggX
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQCkLf9RPm
I nodded at her raised eyebrows.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1FIxz8RIV
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMhHNZnz0A
“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.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGPHPllqy4
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmzMfM49wT
“Can I go in your office please?” I asked.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8msZAVz06
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdefRKoVBhx
“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.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhV3dPOOu7
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11IAdDVjsc
“There’s better wifi in your office.” I replied flatly. She smiled at me and accepted my point.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvE9JNO9xur
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMxHlqpDyn
“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.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVe2j2wqpAd
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RkEAaDNll
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.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsLsCDERha
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nCZ9PxZvI
“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.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89sr7ing0a
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDpDLa4FGd
I could faintly hear the noises of the ward, I put something on on Netfix and curled up in my blanket…551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvpDEt2D48
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAGaD62U05
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.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7s0vhHnQIA
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ORpgVfev0
“Wakey wakey, sleepy head” Zosia whispered as I sat up slowly and stretched.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhqqQuBCXD
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kLdooqIGx
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.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpEOrfzDLu
 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ueUGK0C3L
"Princess?" Zosia whispered.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHka4ywZoO
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCOD8a92Ky
I was too upset, and couldn’t quite get my words out. 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgs23vbJa8
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDJj0n7dR6
"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.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTsZSFCFUt
 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLQwbk0hEd
“I-I..." I sobbed, I couldn't get myself to finish the end of my sentence.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Y3CRm9cuQ
 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gzNBTIxgV
“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.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmeV5ckw01
 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWvb8VACte
"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.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0rQ98bBy4
 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS15EAQxdl3
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGW8kXipIZ
I took a few deep breaths and shut my eyes.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSo7b1uOYEm
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FLMsvjCpb
“I wish Mama was still here” I whispered.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuxDYyJPD0
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnj1MZ0s5XB
“Would you like to come and stay at mine tonight?” Zosia asked, squeezing me for a few seconds.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkJHlGmRRr
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEwS66wuZ6
I nodded.1234 copyright protection547ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLkmqtZv8T 尼
