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!458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpAe5RLY7w

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.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IHbVcc7Nb

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.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJWlHsN8KF

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.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoSl2f5RIC

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.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvBP4P2RlM
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ904SWRRgqF
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. 458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqkw7yUbLH
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lYYKoROl0
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!458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3H41CiQVZ

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.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEkxoiNBBT
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOpJ9gHcJ8
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.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0iVcfbelB
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNNi4HQTqD
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. 458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHkFbnperR
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtGErSabOg
Some of the girls on the bus really annoy me, but luckily most of them get off before my stop.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLerfimWXTA
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tZEW3IIGB
It started to rain while I was on the bus, and it gradually getting worse and worse the closer I got to home.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcotcPUQSP0
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3URBSRu3dI
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.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuLuFo745n

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.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZhp2SLrAg
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1R3LPFD8th
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.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauYkndTWoT
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObmh2mLMqz
"Hey you!” She smiled to me as I got to the desk. I sighed.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cHYAjL90I
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83ftb3ETsc
“You didn’t escape this wonderful weather then…” She said.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BcQgXztWV
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalYIYCeH3k
I shook my head and raised my eyebrows in response.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRU7EJMqPF
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYA8oGOOFUb
"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.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElQ7vGsXit
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Idd1WUX4E
 I sighed again, I wasn’t in the mood for small talk.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEnk8FtT4Z
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgnmUbphX7
“Where’s Zosia?” I asked. 458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneuuOzFHa3
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmfZ7WSXP1
“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.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiB2LhjY9y
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpHKL3W11i
I sighed for about the 3rd time in the last minute.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEX7u4m5vVw
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCYUoOpM0m
“Do you want me to get your dad?” She asked.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWTMZGapP2
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRXOGnsw3E
I shook my head quite aggressively. I didn’t like getting dad involved in anything unless I absolutely had to.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBejrME2xtC
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkdmmUzIAu
“Didn’t think you would, but just thought I would check.” She smiled, trying to lighten my mood.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhVnOAuwnL
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSDV2Ubc8F
“…I want my sister…” I mumbled.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMBTVvS05j
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Nc8iJAkVQ
“Will a hug do from me for now to cheer you up until she gets out of surgery?” Jac suggested.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaMtk7rES1
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGU77Qkk7o8
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.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUGP67b2jo
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxr8I3gsaw
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.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3NhjR89DE
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4x5cowTL7L
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.   458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCXJPAEiQG
                                                           458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneM92fxIPq
“You know you can’t stay sat in the middle of my ward.” Jac said, after a few minutes. 458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyucn5bsSUD
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOK5NDgiwS
I grumbled and scowled back at her.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNVr5QjJxo
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmt8YkzaCXo
“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.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3h0Pjpvqjl
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFktll4vC0E
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.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wOWR74yTc
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCY39qkdwKY
I nodded at her raised eyebrows.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyW8psKLjqw
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ698AgSq0Q7
“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.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jCOVQ1aKJ
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhrIugnOvs
“Can I go in your office please?” I asked.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2s17bby3f
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpclaC1eFf
“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.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlG5KpTRkFt
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7WVlM3RjU
“There’s better wifi in your office.” I replied flatly. She smiled at me and accepted my point.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQR79b6ZUBW
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFl0TBIKvgS
“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.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zwNyhDhp9
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡby95SX5Vxf
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.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1z8C71iCk2
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwF6yqjYn5h
“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.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0MfhYDIqW
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrq4cmM0tKp
I could faintly hear the noises of the ward, I put something on on Netfix and curled up in my blanket…458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFKW06wG3z
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt92LgX05hj
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.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghO2ijlSuh
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2KC3LqIg7
“Wakey wakey, sleepy head” Zosia whispered as I sat up slowly and stretched.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdrpRCw5Eo
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDljoNllIZl
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.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnykD0YAIc9
 458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vAXyllMcD
"Princess?" Zosia whispered.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxlyCm31WL
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCuf2Em3nv
I was too upset, and couldn’t quite get my words out. 458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOg43VMriY
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡga3pLuy8Fh
"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.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡff4uTzZVsW
 458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hGB18S6UJ
“I-I..." I sobbed, I couldn't get myself to finish the end of my sentence.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvY5fEeyJ6
 458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡin2CJwxcmc
“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.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqbXD0LPHj
 458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIU6ucfEXjw
"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.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHG3Dd4yhH
 458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfjJOfqeOW
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUz1a4eZcZW
I took a few deep breaths and shut my eyes.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZUeqTW12L
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwwbfqzthm
“I wish Mama was still here” I whispered.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3W2nY2zTU
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVLohgMziV
“Would you like to come and stay at mine tonight?” Zosia asked, squeezing me for a few seconds.458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsO9AMeRDl
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLk5BvVEq6V
I nodded.8964 copyright protection454ＰＥＮＡＮＡadNpYAlZzd 維尼
