"I got hurt at recess so I washed it in the sink" "okay because for a minute I thought,nevermind,how was school?" "It was umm,it was good i had a lot of fun" "that's good,can you go check on your big brother for me?" I smiled "sure!" I said excitedly as i ran to my big brother Mason "hey sis! Woah look how tall you've gotten!" He said while sitting down on the couch with a girl "thank you big brother,umm whos this?" "Her?" He said looking at the girl, I nodded my head "her name is Madison" she got off the couch and hugged me "hey kiddo" "hey" I said shyly as she sat me on my brothers lap "whats up shell?" I looked at him with a frown "awe what's wrong?" I looked down at my wrist "what happened?" "I hurt my wrist at recess" "awee how?" "While playing with my friends in the play ground" "can i see it?" I shook my head quickly "why not?" "Cause,it hurts" "if we take the bandage off to see the damage i could,we could make the pain go away quicker" she said pulling the bandage back a bit "No!" I said hugging Mason "I'll be back" he said to Madison as he stood up with me hanging on tightly to him.
He sat me down on his bed "let me see it Shelly" I shook my head "please,pretty please?" He said giving me puppy eyes and a frown,i shook my head "does the tickle monster have to come out?" He said in a deep evil voice "no!!" I giggled as he started tickling me "show me the scratch!!" He kept repeating in his deep evil voice "no!" "Then I'll have to just tickle torture you some more!" He said continuing to tickle me "okay stop!!!" I said laughing as he stopped "will tickle monster see the damage?" I nodded my head "but,do not tell mummy" "I won't,i swear on my tickle monster hands" I smiled knowing I could trust him.
As he removed my bandage i saw the sadness in his eyes "huh? Wha,why?" He hugged me and we both cried "why'd you do this to yourself?" He said crying "I-I-I I'm being bullied" he unlocked the hug and placed his hands on my shoulders to look me straight in the eye "by who?" "My friends" "your friends?" "Mmhmm" "what happened?" "I don't know! They just started bullying me! I didn't even do anything wrong,she told me to go kill myself" "so you did this?" I nodded my head "look, I won't tell mum about your cuts but I'll tell her about the bullying okay?" I nodded my head "maybe they'll allow me to stay with you at school" I smiled "I hope so" I said giving him a hug "thank you Mason" "your welcome sis"
*flashback over*
"Mason?? Mason? where are you??" I said as i woke up "hey hey hey what's wrong? What happened?" I shook my head and rubbed my wrists with my fingers "n-nothing just fell asleep, I think" "okay" Michael said giving me a hug "you okay sis?" "Oh Aiden" I said giving him a hug "if you ever need me,I'll be right here for you 24/7" he smiled "same to you sis" he said unlocking the hug "FOOD TIME!!" Aiden yelled as he ran out of the room.
We both laughed "are you really okay though?" Michael said holding my hand "yes I'm good,lets go eat" I said getting up and walking to the dinner table with Michael.
"Would you like to say prayer?" Michael asked me "sure" I thought for a few seconds "dear god,may this food be delicious and may our lives get better and we keep our father happy,say hi to my mum and Mason for me,Amen" "amen" Aiden and Michael repeated after me "lets dig innn!!!" Aiden said like he was starving.
After dinner we all sat down and watched a movie "I'm tired,I'm gonna go to bed goodnight you two" Aiden said hugging me and giving Michael a smile "good night bro,sleep well and sweet dreams" "thank you,you too" I said as he went to his room "yeah I'm gonna head to bed to,it's getting pretty late" "okay do you want me to sit with you until you fall asleep?" I smiled but shook my head "no I'll be okay on my own" "okay sleep well,sweet dreams" "you too" I said smiling as I went to my room.
I sat down on my bed and looked at my wrists,remembering the cuts and all the blood on the bandage "why did you have to listen to those girls?" I asked myself "they were just idiots" I said to myself as I shook my head and started studying again.
I woke up at 7am with my face on my study book and my back covered with a blanket,I got up out of my chair and went to the kitchen to get an apple and a drink of water.

I went back to my room and got dressed 'now it's time that I went to dads house' I thought to myself as i put the apple core in the bin and the glass down on the counter "hey sis" Aiden said sitting at the dinner table "hey do you want to come with me to check up on dad?" "Sure!" We walked out of the house hand in hand and started heading home.
When we got to the house we knocked on the door "who is it?" "Its me Michelle,your daughter and Aiden your son" "Shelly? Aiden?" "Yes dad its us,please let us in,its cold" "okay" he opened the door and gave us a long warm hug "thank god you two are home! I missed you both so so much!" "We missed you too" I said unlocking the hug as he let us inside the house...
