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!459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZiBGaTkZU

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.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWC25CrWSL

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.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzBZEoL7hl

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.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvpqNHmlaG

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.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWdmW51yVm
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTC9UZ6sW92
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. 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJfoXhpvMj
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAqA9FXUxK
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!459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzVQZ92CRN

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.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqTK6iZPzF
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXxVibP3Ag
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.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXeEZajIQu
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQPQ2LfIx6
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. 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7hFKktxzU
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFtXrZqhyy
Some of the girls on the bus really annoy me, but luckily most of them get off before my stop.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHm5o8WpkXu
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4WYAsETpf
It started to rain while I was on the bus, and it gradually getting worse and worse the closer I got to home.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHZNWJoMDP
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6U4HrOsk4
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.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKyfXxPe2e

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.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKez4BQLLB
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOeiDwB4ok
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.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfEHWl2fZ4
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTVmgMxYPk
"Hey you!” She smiled to me as I got to the desk. I sighed.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9litSPjzIN
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblhjKssUaO
“You didn’t escape this wonderful weather then…” She said.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrSplBpI5u
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuB7oe8MfYI
I shook my head and raised my eyebrows in response.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOZUXcF8rS
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOo7COSgkR5
"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.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILpfCECJGF
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh82Sj1lY5P
 I sighed again, I wasn’t in the mood for small talk.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFnwHarVnf
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEe1s57OiF3
“Where’s Zosia?” I asked. 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdV2kW6UAq
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPbPoWp0Ba
“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.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDwznCmOMn
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwxP3c4nFY
I sighed for about the 3rd time in the last minute.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo29tr7KbIe
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElKDhL60SP
“Do you want me to get your dad?” She asked.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCThnf7g2rK
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzAeIqw2GA
I shook my head quite aggressively. I didn’t like getting dad involved in anything unless I absolutely had to.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKja9iMIlk7
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4zJuSPtat
“Didn’t think you would, but just thought I would check.” She smiled, trying to lighten my mood.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpiEzjOsGS
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMIpdSKScG
“…I want my sister…” I mumbled.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyZCBkPVv2
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZ61ZqeWj9
“Will a hug do from me for now to cheer you up until she gets out of surgery?” Jac suggested.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnBSm5AAz2
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqghsdc6AH
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.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9dHgwz9T4
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRO3XA6ytn
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.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKhdEJI95K
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfXxhitFDj
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.   459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmLmIKEIQZ
                                                           459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUuVss2KTp
“You know you can’t stay sat in the middle of my ward.” Jac said, after a few minutes. 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2G43Sz9R7K
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlGarqImb4
I grumbled and scowled back at her.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NGtqWFPCe
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3J0sWrEX9
“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.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZg2kP9Hu0
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qtxxvQ8CV
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.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RK5BEttjP
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHE1pKKMtt
I nodded at her raised eyebrows.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NUMUui0tA
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB76dHLbJQn
“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.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdDuybNLT6
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3w754RA3eJ
“Can I go in your office please?” I asked.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsOiD3q554
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuP7azUiWAP
“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.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjxEHJhMSp
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQb90L0q0tf
“There’s better wifi in your office.” I replied flatly. She smiled at me and accepted my point.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGmU6iB14v
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3XSVu42rE
“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.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwm9W2UhSGD
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5TlzTqHqn
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.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4bw88PivA
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaW5N03UfLl
“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.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEAk5DIj7p
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89AjezP54K
I could faintly hear the noises of the ward, I put something on on Netfix and curled up in my blanket…459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQRS0XQEbL
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSPO2D6cyU
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.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1YXGP9Y9t
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWX8ZxI5eqY
“Wakey wakey, sleepy head” Zosia whispered as I sat up slowly and stretched.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Sda7L1PbZ
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71ObL49dXJ
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.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VOCAyLjsT
 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtH3KIF21X7
"Princess?" Zosia whispered.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpg5qUkcUy8
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vVJoO72sY
I was too upset, and couldn’t quite get my words out. 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uQq2eWBn5
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIz6upu7fU
"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.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMwJ7TZnNZ
 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7cYzrKIie
“I-I..." I sobbed, I couldn't get myself to finish the end of my sentence.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQtY5itT5p
 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnd8JlhywzG
“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.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgF8gm8F4et
 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPDOr97r0d
"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.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDUALo8jva
 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQsoCenBv1
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAIvsCYDWU
I took a few deep breaths and shut my eyes.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gzDgBz89X
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1otcfzA5Qh
“I wish Mama was still here” I whispered.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmDYZzV4q9
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0W532yOdxb
“Would you like to come and stay at mine tonight?” Zosia asked, squeezing me for a few seconds.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBd74mCgEO3
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXPN4EEDVQ
I nodded.8964 copyright protection455ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2yGieb181 維尼
