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!410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJmngZzT5v

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.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7znptlFJY

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.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYAAVTJ9tl
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMO9aCXfQp
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.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtufPOiRZE

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.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMN8uiixgBj
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoq6xXlD1c
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. 410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVdNBUmMLF
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4UN7EwxwB
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!410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2awQhKMY4
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdYj9Pc2Pe
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.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kCjnDw7em
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNqjhTqheW
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.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqqtPunedV
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrpz6xli24
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. 410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCqCkaf5in
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2dv6BMAJQ
Some of the girls on the bus really annoy me, but luckily most of them get off before my stop.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIjSdSyfry
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOQzNF9trS
It started to rain while I was on the bus, and it gradually getting worse and worse the closer I got to home.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOuDkMhQUP
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbEJO48BIp
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.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKiyWIWsfF

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.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWobs9Aqj2D
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawuKyvOFb5
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.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfOjB1d9ti
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9h8dQzZxu
"Hey you!” She smiled to me as I got to the desk. I sighed.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldmEdjrjq1
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBg4Iw6Auk
“You didn’t escape this wonderful weather then…” She said.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxh7CYVn4xb
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhqyR5JzNU
I shook my head and raised my eyebrows in response.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVN7FiwLepl
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOqlp0HKRi
"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.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPu3wFlk5T
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqVRc5KqZW
I sighed again, I wasn’t in the mood for small talk.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrfP8NA5Ax
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4dIgdYQlK
“Where’s Zosia?” I asked. 410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhXvJOTzlV
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkXjV33ixf
“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.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS95KW5rTbA
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhFvcubji8
I sighed for about the 3rd time in the last minute.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVGrVNxwVD
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oyniTjnxC
“Do you want me to get your dad?” She asked.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTU659D9PvF
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ai4Pe6ZFh
I shook my head quite aggressively. I didn’t like getting dad involved in anything unless I absolutely had to.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31t2Ua71LC
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4Eh6G1xL4
“Didn’t think you would, but just thought I would check.” She smiled, trying to lighten my mood.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyIHf3hyme
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3L9lUzyDu
“…I want my sister…” I mumbled.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohruzvcTNV
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTe7omlnPD
“Will a hug do from me for now to cheer you up until she gets out of surgery?” Jac suggested.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FPVNjeOlb
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Dy1NvkUds
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.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZdXFAQc4x
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29PgPfKzXk
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.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjuU8PDraK
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHIxSNI4kO
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. 410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdEsyK2CiM
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkwLvXP7Fa
“You know you can’t stay sat in the middle of my ward.” Jac said, after a few minutes. 410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6b4NvApQ7
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfibKrwrVKr
I grumbled and scowled back at her.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOL2bBqbxx
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLzoZ6te7F
“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.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLu9smawDh3
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1CAp0IE8W
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.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFN9Kr4QgA
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJZ9wYbdOG
I nodded at her raised eyebrows.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXv3nsdJ6ew
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmShzJhJXwU
“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.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlhbIRe3um
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCAXlTcEr5
“Can I go in your office please?” I asked.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNE69rmf9SX
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUYlWr81zR
“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.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt49ifKucx1
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeo0eOp79ih
“There’s better wifi in your office.” I replied flatly. She smiled at me and accepted my point.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwSLqg7ZtZ
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGseTm76Smf
“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.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCFrNwKo0w
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrS4SHiQth
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.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyN02HF3tho
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWA8rkZ5QD
“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.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOiFg6ouBH
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphWY0qyS2U
I could faintly hear the noises of the ward, I put something on on Netfix and curled up in my blanket…410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84wsPloznt
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzF3CXJuDN
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.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpUmCWXdWU
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NyhqJBVuY
“Wakey wakey, sleepy head” Zosia whispered as I sat up slowly and stretched.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrj5M7SbY0
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2Kbp8xfZE
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.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBvQe3nAB8
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7Nxt26Auy
"Princess?" Zosia whispered.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyd9sSftff
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcI3YANH5lD
I was too upset, and couldn’t quite get my words out. 410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5bIcun7Bk
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3unUCBSIr
"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.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkaM65BhQj
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNHXTrEukY
“I-I..." I sobbed, I couldn't get myself to finish the end of my sentence.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmsiSZOmnG
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4gXzM2cp1
“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.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnsrV27phJ
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqEtB5SD8m
"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.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEjz8vDFmz
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4DYUHb6n5
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1P9nue3k1
I took a few deep breaths and shut my eyes.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OG6luMne0
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNVk0QKO2B
“I wish Mama was still here” I whispered.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiGZslZtel
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTKMuVkiB7
“Would you like to come and stay at mine tonight?” Zosia asked, squeezing me for a few seconds.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MRzHq0gGw
410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFx1A39d07
I nodded.
