My life-coronation street fan fiction

Aftermath

The police arrived and Maria told me to go to take Elsa and go to her house where Audrey was looking after liam. I went but all I could think about was my mum, so hurt, so fragile, so weak.
I turned down Victoria street and saw Frank, I hid behind a car until he passed but that's when I realised he was going home. I went across the cobble to Maria's.
I arrived at Maria's and Liam came running up to me shouting my name. I bent down and picked him up. I walked over to the sofa and sat him on my knee, while Elsa toddled around the room, sleepily. my eyes were red and puffy and I felt tired. Liam shifted around on my lap for a while until he got comfortable. we sat watching TV and eventually I fell asleep with Liam laying on top of me and Elsa next to me.

I woke up the next morning on the sofa and I had a brown fluffy blanket over me. Liam was sitting beside me holding his favourite duck watching the tv. While Elsa was still sleeping on a soft rug on the floor beside me. At first I forgot the whole ordeal of last night, until I looked over at the TV to see a picture of my mum, dad and I at my sixth birthday.

Later that day, Maria came in the front door, I ran up to her from the floor where I was playing with Liam and Elsa. she told me that she had come to get me to take me home, I smiled. she told me that mum was very scared and very fragile. her and mum had decided that they would stay with us for a while. we gathered up our things and walked home. I felt a weird feeling in my tummy, like I was scared to go home.

I had to talk to the police later, tell them what I saw and heard. I told them that I was in my room tidying up mum said there might be some shouting and I should stay in my room. I told them about the bruises that Frank had left on my arms I had some recent ones that they took pictures of. after that they lead me back to reception where Maria was waiting for me. she made sure I was alright and we made our way home.

We got home and mum was sat on the sofa. Elsa was sat next to her watching TV. Mum was sat silently, staring into space.
"Hey mum" I said as I sat down on the table next to her, taking off my shoes. I sat back and she silently put her arm around me, before kissing my hair.
"You alright?" Mum said as she stroked my arm.
"Yeah" I said, "are you?"
"Yeah, I'm fine" she said. The room went silent apart from the noise of the tv. I watched it for a while before mum held onto my chin and pulled it in her direction.
"Love you" she said before kissing my nose.
"Love you too" I replied as a nestled my head in her neck.
