Over and Over

Chapter 3

(Holly's P.O.V):

I flickered my eyes opened, I sat up on my bed; 9AM, My head feeling heavy. Was last night a dream? How did I even get here? Everything looked the same but felt so different. So empty. I hated this. I hated myself. I wish, I didn't argue with her. But what's the point now?

I got myself up and didn't even look down the corridor of rooms filled with silence. I headed towards the stairs, but it felt like I was just falling into a pit filled with blankness.

I got half way down the stairs, I heard hushed whispers, I leaned over the staircase to see if I could see anyone inside, I saw Ben sitting with a large man, sitting on the couch, but I couldn't quite see his face. I tried to work out what they were saying but they were too quiet. Gosh! Speak up, people! I steadily got to the bottom of the staircase, trying my best to make the minimum amount of noise, so nobody would notice me.

I tiptoed over to the kitchen as quick as I could, as soon as I stepped in, "Holly?" He sounded familiar, I took a step back. Black vans and chinos with an off white tee, Muscular build;

"Uncle Danny!" I ran towards him and he picked me up and I hugged him as I put my arms around his neck. He still had his sweet vanilla aroma. My tears began to shed tears once again, He reminded me of Dad and Mum and how we were all happy when we were younger. I wish I had a time machine! "When did you get back from Afghanistan?"

"There's more important things to that, I'm really sorry Hal. I came as soon as I heard."

"I'm sorry too." He hugged me again, picking me up. I could hear him sniffle. Danny is apart of the British army, was along with my Dad. He had died, when the opposition had shot him in the back and by the time help got to him, he already had lost too much blood. I miss him so much, I wish I had gotten to know him more, but I'm still proud of him and everyone who puts there life at risk everyday for the nation. But I guess that's why we moved away from London to Australia. To get away.

He's my mum's brother.

He put me down, He kneeled to the ground and still was about 4ft, I wiped his tears and shook my head looking into his hazel eyes, similar to mine.

"Hal, go get dressed. We got to go to go to the hospital as well kid." Ben said, leaning over the side of the door.

"Yeah." I breathed out. "Where's Liz?" Danny stood to his feet.

"I think she's with Liam."

"How is he? Has he woken up yet?"

"No. I know as much as you do. Now go. We got a long day ahead of us."

"We'll talk properly later. Okay? I nodded as Danny rubbed my arm.

I grabbed my phone from my bedroom and I came back downstairs, still avoiding the void of rooms after taking the longest shower to take my mind off things. Didn't work.

I sat on the couch with my feet up so my knees were hiding my face, I put my phone on charge and waited for it to switch back on. Finally! It's on! 7 miss calls from Kirsty and spam of texts and other notifications. I ignored it. i can't be bothered with anything.

"Babe, Breakfast?" Danny put toast on a plate for me on the dining table. But it just reminded me of family and I also felt a little sick.

"Not hungry."

"Hal, you need something. You should eat." I shook my head. I didn't want to speak either.

"Have this glass of juice then?" I listened to Ben and I went over to the dining table to pick up the glass of juice. I drank half of it and went back to couch. My stomach started to feel weird, my mouth became stiff. Next thing you know, I'm running towards the bathroom.

"Take it easy." Danny rubbed my back and tied my hair. I could sense Ben and him looking at each other saying, What the fuck?

I slanted against the cold bathroom wall, dropping my head backwards; "I want mum. Why has she died? Why can't they come back?" I cried.

"I know. I'm sorry...I'm sorry." He brought me closer to his chest as he whispered 'sorry' over and over again.
