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!412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cPyCkCQyD

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.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBmQtZDBvu

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.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAEBbUKlM0

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.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXOgJ1Xf92

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.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNWzYoY5WV

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. 412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxcvi41ycZ
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXW53VZRzqT
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!412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6hogLt1YI

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.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuiJxWxMwc
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTNSCCEZsI
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.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlmVncrHLo
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAsjqPYzAV
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. 412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4wZFWMHyR
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnipPZfaegf
Some of the girls on the bus really annoy me, but luckily most of them get off before my stop.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRT0FrnPLaW
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgypPerEHS
It started to rain while I was on the bus, and it gradually getting worse and worse the closer I got to home.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRSbZVrjLa
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQgapTcluw
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.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeZQrnwv1S

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.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxp1aNbdjv6
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CX8QkEiZD
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.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQZ4uCiEwv
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4khElD5ys3
"Hey you!” She smiled to me as I got to the desk. I sighed.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDN4GYTax40
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDMDGVJXMl
“You didn’t escape this wonderful weather then…” She said.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtkk7CUD8W
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN91sofoSvb
I shook my head and raised my eyebrows in response.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1bxjPcaU9
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmekp7SG9K
"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.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0q4XZGuuD
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QOFV7SStj
 I sighed again, I wasn’t in the mood for small talk.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgU1BQZvvRb
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweXHfdQaV9
“Where’s Zosia?” I asked. 412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQHIbVCQKo
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOxtTF4mTz
“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.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUfy6UPS7j
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLBu3LmOSZ
I sighed for about the 3rd time in the last minute.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoW37atN0y
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVus6BNkK5
“Do you want me to get your dad?” She asked.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDv1Qgu1SxZ
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1QCdt9qZp
I shook my head quite aggressively. I didn’t like getting dad involved in anything unless I absolutely had to.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3E5r6wIom
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3AOpD6gbN
“Didn’t think you would, but just thought I would check.” She smiled, trying to lighten my mood.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MSExXmTou
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCNk1jG52r
“…I want my sister…” I mumbled.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvg8mhtcbyI
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBD1Qw6kI0
“Will a hug do from me for now to cheer you up until she gets out of surgery?” Jac suggested.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqS2KahfwMt
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHx9B6h5MO
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.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHE6PiXjlC
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9841Svldpg
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.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGPceab36h
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡki4cIshYsL
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.   412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eircmnW2O
                                                           412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxl0UI7KGUc
“You know you can’t stay sat in the middle of my ward.” Jac said, after a few minutes. 412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5TTKS8PDm
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGyn5HLqvX
I grumbled and scowled back at her.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lu4DQT4cY
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLLmYN4dW8
“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.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8H4tLwzvJn
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCZzZzSxzF
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.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyLnnWiBkF
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMROYCWqpj
I nodded at her raised eyebrows.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaKBxPV1Lo
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOe8ycEqU16
“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.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqteQKycjUP
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNImkWAEwOl
“Can I go in your office please?” I asked.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mWKwSqzm5
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgfGo8iolK
“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.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHzjA5cNgZ
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrLjsEZZnH
“There’s better wifi in your office.” I replied flatly. She smiled at me and accepted my point.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebYln1WhqO
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOx9je0mEgm
“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.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OtrIHM63f
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ028VRbqttq
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.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIB43LRiYXg
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5GJ3ayVqT
“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.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccWX9R0La5
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEfZJWjE1C
I could faintly hear the noises of the ward, I put something on on Netfix and curled up in my blanket…412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURFhsqy5mk
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyby2F932Dw
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.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJzFPOw08E
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKw0GWYqJFs
“Wakey wakey, sleepy head” Zosia whispered as I sat up slowly and stretched.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsK5FkROstx
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMpM8gMpGA
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.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIqvExQbz5
 412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTHWtBWYii
"Princess?" Zosia whispered.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJpfO2MSq2
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUmk0sA1rV
I was too upset, and couldn’t quite get my words out. 412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpKeB2gIxs
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaxRJ98VCs
"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.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kIsjq7j3I
 412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubv4rvVE78
“I-I..." I sobbed, I couldn't get myself to finish the end of my sentence.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiETzgJWOl
 412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQHtmTYrGp
“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.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKbtW3qscv
 412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpKzq7fn4o
"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.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMct1TZ1Zq
 412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6o2VlRmkmn
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsj1ywejvm
I took a few deep breaths and shut my eyes.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEvOacdhme
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06NhuK4KRg
“I wish Mama was still here” I whispered.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgtFQMuJyU
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmZIr7tDmt
“Would you like to come and stay at mine tonight?” Zosia asked, squeezing me for a few seconds.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRn8UShtxSq
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTuz3E5XZo
I nodded.8964 copyright protection408ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVlp1GGamx 維尼
