Little Mix One Shots

No Words

Manchester.
I am so beyond heartbroken with this world.

I woke up yesterday morning and checked the news as usual and my heart sunk to the depths of my toes to see the words Manchester blast: 19 dead and over 50 hurt. Tears streamed down my face as I read about the events of Monday night. Almost immediately my mind flew back to a couple of months ago when my cousin had been saying how she wanted Ariana Grande tickets and I hoped to God she hadn't got them. More tears came as I frantically clicked off the news article and onto our family what's app where my uncle confirmed she was safe and had got back ok but was really shaken up.

My mum then came into my room to make sure I was awake and upon seeing the tears took me into her arms and held me so tight.

We cried together. Tears of relief. Tears of fear. Tears of heartbreak.

I carried on with my day and watched with tears in my eyes as my Mum hugged my brother tight and told him she loved him, he didn't know then. The total had increased by then. 22 dead. 59 injured.
We went about our days with heavy hearts and a melancholy energy. I sat an exam yesterday and came out of it in near tears as I thought of the lives that had been lost. The lives that would never achieve anything they wished and thanked God for my ability to sit exams.

At home we sat for our diner and my dad held each of our hands and said how thankful he still had us, his voice cracking, as tears fell from all of our eyes once more.

What is this world I am living in. Why did this have to happen. No one will ever know.

Despite the heartbreak that had ensued my heart was warmed by the stories of shivelry and togetherness that has emerged from an event like this people offering places to stay, food to eat and a nice cup of tea.
I love you all like my family and my heart is extended to all those who have suffered from this in any way imaginable.
Hug your families if you can, tonight, as sad as it seems you never know when you won't be able to hug them again.
Never forget that someone always loves you. I will always love you.
