I don't want to turn around. I'll see the pity in there faces."you can join us if you want." My Dad spoke. Turning around I was looking down I sat on the unoccupied sofa. Everyone instantly began chatting again.

A smile made its way up my face again. Things are definitely getting better. Looking up to Watching the TV there was a car crash scene. My breathing became uneven and harsh. Breath in and out. I can control this.

My breath slowly caught its normal pace. My hands shivering. But I couldn't seem to stop them. "Honey everything ok."mom said holding concern in her voice. "Uh...no... nothing for you to worry about"I replied in merely a whisper.

She looked up at the TV and saw the scene play. Harshly she grabbed the remote and switched the TV off. "Hayley I'm...sorry I'm so so so sorry. I didn't realise." She said with guilt prominent in her voice "it's all good don't worry so much." I relied calmly. Trying to give her a reassuring smile,but failing miserably.

"I'm going to head to bed."
"Goodnight." Everyone said in sync. I walked up the stairs. Opening my bedroom door I saw my bed. Immediately jumping into the soft black covers. I wrap myself around them. Holding onto the warmth of the covers.

I hear a knock on my bedroom door. But before I could answer someone barges in."YOU BI*CH YOU MADE MOM AND DAD ARGUE OVER YOUR DUMB AS*!"Noah screeched at me. He slammed the door and left without another word. Guild began to creep up on me

Steadily I walked towards the steps. I could hear the shouting."she's blocking us out. How can we help her for god sakes. She needs space." Dad said calmly. "Haven't we given her enough space already. She needs help. Did you see her today? Did you see her reaction? How.. how can I not help her. She needs us the most we can't just leave her be... please."

I could hear mums sobs from where I was sitting in the stairs. I hauled myself up from the stairs and got back in my bed. I've officially decided I'm going to act normal and happy around my family. If I'm not happy doesn't mean that my family has to be all sad too. It's the least I can do for them.
