Chapter 2

Tara's P.O.V -
It's been five days since the incident and Gracie's still in hospital on life support. She's not doing very good. The terrible moment keeps replaying in my mind all the time leaving me traumatised after each time. I can't believe it though how could her brother just bash her up, I know her mother and father divorced, then her mother unfortunately died but it's not her fault, he should be there for her not beating her up! I'm just lucky she has Ally and I to look after her. She was living with me for a few months before her brother did this. I mean she feels safer with somebody who truly loves her cares for her which is better than living in danger. "Dinner's ready." Mum calls out from downstairs interrupting my thought. My personage ascends leaving me on my feet. I walk out the door and head downstairs. As I get to the last step I see mum placing blue plastic plates on the side with chicken and mashed potato on them. Her face drops as she she's me. She walks over and hugs me giving a tight squeeze I winch in pain. I take a deep breath, tears breaking though as she releases her touch, "she's gonna get better." Mum says walking back to the bench "I know," i reply following her foot steps into the kitchen , I sit down on the white metal stools. "It's just I miss her, I wish it could go back to old times when she was actually happy and social, and when her thoughts didn't consume her body. I want it back to old times when she would come over my house for a sleepover not to get away." I pause and sit there "I'm not hungry." I say "you've got to eat Tara, you haven't eaten since the incident, I know it's tough but you've got to pull through." "But mum she's on life support with internal bleeding to her liver plus a broken rib. How can I ever pull through." I say harshly, mum sighs in agreement. "I know honey, maybe we should go see her tomorrow, it may help you.
"I guess so." I get up and push the chair in , then start walking back up the stairs to my bedroom.
