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!417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKdeMNE7xY

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.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMsCDtduLu

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.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dOYbzrBRF

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.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAm8S0WfuH

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.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5H2GWFuvEC
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqAsg5wEh6
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. 417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡza8WxYTaPa
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdj2QCEPb0
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!417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFhdYbqPqF

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.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vUO5Rzo0p
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1cvl7TFqF
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.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1So5nSUqFj
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyD0USQl7Ge
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. 417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqV0gn0ZQDM
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzotlMyUka
Some of the girls on the bus really annoy me, but luckily most of them get off before my stop.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUTl1GkYUk
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamsvSRhpVI
It started to rain while I was on the bus, and it gradually getting worse and worse the closer I got to home.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFsfgfMd17
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqfgfYp45L
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.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNReuUPuaPV

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.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzK8znY1HL
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNOWTnMY6l
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.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QNnKgG9Js
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrpmPTr48Y
"Hey you!” She smiled to me as I got to the desk. I sighed.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZB3jNHMgzl
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMkldFZ6X9
“You didn’t escape this wonderful weather then…” She said.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZqhnOI1Xa
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0ahI8FnUZ
I shook my head and raised my eyebrows in response.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYT38eFHQsc
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdA1aJTHE0
"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.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkLr2eUP8W
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4ReyRBR9t
I sighed again, I wasn’t in the mood for small talk.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiT5dGoDwB
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLwekRD760
“Where’s Zosia?” I asked. 417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfm2Bo8oLb3
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWCrVcOo1w
“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.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JfSfXQfKC
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSbYWCqK4W
I sighed for about the 3rd time in the last minute.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCB4vqSV5Wq
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPlZP2Nhlo
“Do you want me to get your dad?” She asked.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQs9X7Ja29
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgw6bOp9oqz
I shook my head quite aggressively. I didn’t like getting dad involved in anything unless I absolutely had to.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡER35MXTNzT
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrWOxERCdU
“Didn’t think you would, but just thought I would check.” She smiled, trying to lighten my mood.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VCcbuTxKl
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxR0UYFtrw
“…I want my sister…” I mumbled.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPoGDW5HeU
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZfkikvsE3
“Will a hug do from me for now to cheer you up until she gets out of surgery?” Jac suggested.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4yjDIioR2
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOCsQn9YBu
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.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwqUh71WUQ
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzt2b24DKu
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.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDiVYq5ZrU
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajACkm2O6c
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. 417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNym6GN7pH2
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5A8YtSLwKU
“You know you can’t stay sat in the middle of my ward.” Jac said, after a few minutes. 417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJC401Dpi0S
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMD6p2tqv5b
I grumbled and scowled back at her.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sJMbAUsma
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qkh5Z7yDi
“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.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyrQ2eoCCv
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSZzj2cvPy
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.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1K6yECzhik
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBznYczssNa
I nodded at her raised eyebrows.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIO0YadoeeN
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBB2uHkCdq8
“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.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyKv9wCczT
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ole5m55K0
“Can I go in your office please?” I asked.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmDtoM4y5C
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeoJP8dFoh
“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.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCsKz22JlP
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJVZNOgAU6
“There’s better wifi in your office.” I replied flatly. She smiled at me and accepted my point.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkpsdCgPQd
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTrHmzmJI9
“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.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVM4LDRX92u
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvJJLHrhlo
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.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8qnaBRSUL
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXIvznDKZR
“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.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHcvRqktxx
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82J1s6rmMi
I could faintly hear the noises of the ward, I put something on on Netfix and curled up in my blanket…417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWvIhqw3dx
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuHrtrYAzP
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.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypV6C4lTHl
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBrZpSe9xw
“Wakey wakey, sleepy head” Zosia whispered as I sat up slowly and stretched.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayTfszBM9v
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWyVeBOede
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.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lsXinJvWT
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4Sw78FiLs
"Princess?" Zosia whispered.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGe2qZnMh4
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiwkvab9NW
I was too upset, and couldn’t quite get my words out. 417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9I5GM4m5nO
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJk2R8cj868
"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.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpvy9f6wQh
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXUJUJNisO
“I-I..." I sobbed, I couldn't get myself to finish the end of my sentence.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9E1ank64w
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZz4AVdcP2
“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.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGkquI3P1T
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sqkoszzHf
"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.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd34fhtNnlE
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRS4wWIkD5T
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVBwr6841X
I took a few deep breaths and shut my eyes.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82IqhYlTnX
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofQB2JwitP
“I wish Mama was still here” I whispered.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9p5N7phklG
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3RLLXzzIQ
“Would you like to come and stay at mine tonight?” Zosia asked, squeezing me for a few seconds.417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2b3QKTDu3
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtJOlCJ0rR
I nodded.
