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!408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcmPSmHRMl

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.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlldMzYsRK

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.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZk6pEK60a5

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.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE23q0JmLmr

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.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZl3z1js9X

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. 408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7W7ffu9uh
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4MBxGQWGi
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!408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgEGxSAOsB

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.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu55TBWtLUI
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfRatezgzG
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.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDG4Y6eBgX
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgXnPLidxQ
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. 408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUehGO5fSn
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGJmsTehHF
Some of the girls on the bus really annoy me, but luckily most of them get off before my stop.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5FBfZnO82
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1cuIu8WF4
It started to rain while I was on the bus, and it gradually getting worse and worse the closer I got to home.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8X56E0Fmq
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwr9RZcY2ll
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.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPR3cG2j7Af

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.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVVRVvoWB3
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkebLULiHTM
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.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmlxBLcQRb
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SEbflboG7
"Hey you!” She smiled to me as I got to the desk. I sighed.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1p6ED3aUIA
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡud58aJZ4v2
“You didn’t escape this wonderful weather then…” She said.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBb63uLEW5
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtClhUy8OD
I shook my head and raised my eyebrows in response.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRjszL5n78
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTl8IZXinpw
"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.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMIZ7wNHG5
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGAJjJ7iBA
 I sighed again, I wasn’t in the mood for small talk.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iOYuqx5pd
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAs1Kk704p6
“Where’s Zosia?” I asked. 408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxthMeOpOeI
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbRBx8to0n
“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.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrV6VtxgXT
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rYyAnMasz
I sighed for about the 3rd time in the last minute.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFPs6ORiA8
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDE0BqponSi
“Do you want me to get your dad?” She asked.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDW5yBgz1Qm
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfb2ENJbIgg
I shook my head quite aggressively. I didn’t like getting dad involved in anything unless I absolutely had to.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DQ8lu5xvB
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN96IdH6AT5
“Didn’t think you would, but just thought I would check.” She smiled, trying to lighten my mood.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndfcLgb3xw
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7gZibpo44
“…I want my sister…” I mumbled.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRkXYfSN9k
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulWANFpDbZ
“Will a hug do from me for now to cheer you up until she gets out of surgery?” Jac suggested.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡragN3O0kuv
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHeQfoSdwB
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.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eun6pi7zu
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlryEMaesD
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.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ht9jBAr2S
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzT7FpRwtH1
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.   408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJEmgkE6Dv

“You know you can’t stay sat in the middle of my ward.” Jac said, after a few minutes. 408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRQQUhtQ38
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7d8e0tgzX
I grumbled and scowled back at her.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64wsymcT36
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGxETLJxEj
“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.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYDWX4n4WQ
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDMK7WDhcY
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.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQ3o6hTYPy
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IkfcPlGgA
I nodded at her raised eyebrows.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrWZqAiQac
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyooRC9IWEj
“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.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyDAgpzizF
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmg6mtsR8JS
“Can I go in your office please?” I asked.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbEOrADUJu
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKqIBMi3Rt
“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.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXZgp4YXwj
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9IoS4Siok
“There’s better wifi in your office.” I replied flatly. She smiled at me and accepted my point.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy57vPPPXFE
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdUePGXWxB
“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.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgC7okaSEDu
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmlPQ4AsSu
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.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqAASz1QqZ
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpJi2mSj39
“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.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGfjiVrpkZ
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvhrbbKF37
I could faintly hear the noises of the ward, I put something on on Netfix and curled up in my blanket…408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZAmqMdKrK
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIckDpfbs5
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.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVzzR1AUAB
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJR0ll4esd
“Wakey wakey, sleepy head” Zosia whispered as I sat up slowly and stretched.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRnGiVkdzD
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZrs5cgtlH
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.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBTDaUZ01H
 408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2OYiuKINC
"Princess?" Zosia whispered.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXmb4rc3UU
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRylf59hB3
I was too upset, and couldn’t quite get my words out. 408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhbpm2f1su
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pjDIQEarx
"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.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdow7TpUyzq
 408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQLfS9pTZa
“I-I..." I sobbed, I couldn't get myself to finish the end of my sentence.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnjfiHu650
 408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ674ifJKLrb
“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.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZ2WzdPg2Q
 408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCzdvqWPbi
"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.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFAMJnBErF
 408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwi36hrFYL
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3NwhoVwoh
I took a few deep breaths and shut my eyes.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOK4BsLvBfh
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nF7X8SXDH
“I wish Mama was still here” I whispered.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZTYPwArk6
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTNOYGXsyv
“Would you like to come and stay at mine tonight?” Zosia asked, squeezing me for a few seconds.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbrsiX9hwA
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxwGBYBdS8
I nodded.8964 copyright protection404ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48yzlESMM4 維尼
