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!409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSErXJRa3x

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.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74OBjxuouK

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.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwhsYGPmRP

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.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDxMvWKr1C

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.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtCh9og7Z7

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. 409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjCtuskWQy

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!409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtm18YUzkUq

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.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNCb8dEnpI
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5lMVaOtFf
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.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQuXDDiK8Y
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFJ6jjLzie
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. 409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8j0ZvNM1Gv
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlnNtNs2J6
Some of the girls on the bus really annoy me, but luckily most of them get off before my stop.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Xk0PdlhQ2
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3BKDwt9PB
It started to rain while I was on the bus, and it gradually getting worse and worse the closer I got to home.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpmXST6NL8

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.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvosaN8H3P

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.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxjIfuaGlg
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4el674rIbJ
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.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHIUsDhfYP
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxjWZXfYiR
"Hey you!” She smiled to me as I got to the desk. I sighed.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lmA9orqwJ
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeEWe4UDZa
“You didn’t escape this wonderful weather then…” She said.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuBAaonAU2
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPaLH55dyV
I shook my head and raised my eyebrows in response.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3JopTYxrz
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6pkGp9PFl
"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.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMcqt0avwt
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyO3MyJH27
 I sighed again, I wasn’t in the mood for small talk.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVrNq03QZn
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsi6Nt0mNMx
“Where’s Zosia?” I asked. 409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlJApzEYhF
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgLnmf0AtS
“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.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmN0RJFPAGy
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmURHHfwCIi
I sighed for about the 3rd time in the last minute.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uVnHGpiSa
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPisC9fLtl
“Do you want me to get your dad?” She asked.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAJTihRyJy
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSrwSDNWs1
I shook my head quite aggressively. I didn’t like getting dad involved in anything unless I absolutely had to.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmlWOyhh9M
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbY0rWSc7IU
“Didn’t think you would, but just thought I would check.” She smiled, trying to lighten my mood.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7X7OZQdqI
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wCWKlc3Oz
“…I want my sister…” I mumbled.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsirMB0xW07
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLLymZfTAy
“Will a hug do from me for now to cheer you up until she gets out of surgery?” Jac suggested.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4k0KpI1CZu
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzk6US2ztYZ
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.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UpMBBoer7
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pWfozxU79
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.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWvDeg7nzV
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hxzRpVEHO
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.   409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXR5K3P8Mrj

“You know you can’t stay sat in the middle of my ward.” Jac said, after a few minutes. 409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7louXVUpd
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VYHrsPh6a
I grumbled and scowled back at her.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVdGSDDn7K
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5LMlFSDSl
“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.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rl0uqzQ8m
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcC69SaUYhf
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.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQVLEa0d2Q
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGcy1uB6p3
I nodded at her raised eyebrows.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGRxIE3vcI
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkztXCCRgAM
“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.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Oou31M4fJ
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpdyRr3OAI
“Can I go in your office please?” I asked.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyRzMvEznX
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73TiFq4qKd
“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.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGICcwEeWB
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtnfkm8pvZ
“There’s better wifi in your office.” I replied flatly. She smiled at me and accepted my point.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkY97LBG3o
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeANjd5yPO
“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.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4T8GhzbzE
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96BwNya9p8
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.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyH61GULaR
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqWsVt5Rro
“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.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjJbmwtIVk
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqsvIRIBIV
I could faintly hear the noises of the ward, I put something on on Netfix and curled up in my blanket…409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPQLctPjkq
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KhLLnqy2c
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.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkN4FQ0Ib5j
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxyamONnbU
“Wakey wakey, sleepy head” Zosia whispered as I sat up slowly and stretched.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEkyIvHqrK
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HEwrBwmbm
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.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwtMbS9z0g
 409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0vVNUVxMr
"Princess?" Zosia whispered.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qBTBSKNaD
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cUGgdfUN7
I was too upset, and couldn’t quite get my words out. 409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5WBck4Shq
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSf65Gilcj
"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.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxxO83mOLU
 409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1W2H0zwVfl
“I-I..." I sobbed, I couldn't get myself to finish the end of my sentence.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsMAXeMa7B
 409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDNPZN8ImY
“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.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdVwEl28FI
 409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJ0CTU6mTP
"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.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRidiNvq4yN
 409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtI95RHNb7w
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdw8QyVAhhj
I took a few deep breaths and shut my eyes.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMfUacxAdK
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUxNejBhpg
“I wish Mama was still here” I whispered.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBExgUCAcmu
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1p022zVVM8
“Would you like to come and stay at mine tonight?” Zosia asked, squeezing me for a few seconds.409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiP4jhOJrB
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ49KeWBic8
I nodded.8964 copyright protection405ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyrSRAa71o 維尼
