Dangerously Broken

End of school year

It's been 2 weeks since Pennywise attacked Patrick and me and about a week since we left the hospital. I haven't gone back to school at all but Patrick went back and today is the last day for the school year. The doctor wasn't kidding when he said I was traumatized by what happened, I can't go outside without having a panic attack, I don't talk very much now, I don't like heaps of people near me. Really the easy way to say is that I'm broken now. Patrick and the boys are trying their best to help by little touches here and there, try to get me to talk and make me walk around the house more.

Today i was walking around the house trying to gain the strength to get better. I made my way slowly downstairs and turned into the kitchen to make a sandwich. I made a ham and cheese sandwich with BBQ sauce for lunch.

The boys came inside after school to check up on me, I was sitting in the lounge room reading a book about how to get better after an attack, like ideas and strategies on coping. like I'm slowly getting there but still having trouble.

"Hey Hayley, how are you today?" Victor asked coming to sit next to me and kissing my cheek. I looked up and smiled at him.

"I'm alright, getting there. how are you boys today?" I replied marking my spot in my book and placing it on the coffee table next to my hazelnut coffee. Patrick came and sat next to me placing his arm around my shoulders.

"Yea we're good. picked on the losers club for a bit." Henry said sitting across the room in a recliner. I gave him a look.

"Not Eddie just the others." he added after seeing my look, I sighed happily and cuddled into Patrick. later on Mrs H made dinner and we ate as a family. I was finally starting to get my family back after so long.

1 month later

I woke up at 5am looking to my side where Patrick laid peacefully asleep. I carefully got up and made sure I didn't wake up Patrick as I silently went to the bathroom to shower. I set the shower to the temp I wanted then stripped and hopped in letting the hot water wake me up. I washed my hair in our coconut and mint scented shampoo and conditioner, rinsed it out then washed my body with my Rose and strawberry scented body wash, then washed it off. I brushed my teeth then hopped out drying myself with the towel.

I put on dark green lacey undergarments, a black plain singlet, some nice short shorts and did my hair up in a messy bun. I decided to go natural and no make up. I left the bath room and saw Patrick just waking up, I went over to him and straddled him.

"Happy birthday Patty." I said kissing his lips softly, he placed his hand on the back of my head deepening the kiss. Patrick swiped my bottom lip asking for entrance which I gave, opening my mouth more his tongue slipped into my mouth. our tongues fought for dominance which he won, Patrick grabbed my ass giving it a squeeze before wee pulled away for air.

"Thanks Princess. I could wake up like this every morning." Patrick said, I hopped off him to finish getting ready for the day. Patrick went to the bathroom for a shower while I went downstairs to see if I could help with breakfast.

"Morning Mr and Mrs H need any help with breakfast?" I asked cheerily coming down the stairs and sitting at the table where Mr H was reading the Sunday newspaper and drinking his morning coffee. they both looked up and smiled at me.

"Morning Hayley." Mr H said, I smiled back in acknowledgment.

"Morning Hayley, could you set the table please?" Mrs H said. I nodded and started to set the table. Soon Patrick came down the stairs in Black skinny jeans, his boots and a plain grey singlet. his hair brushed back neatly.

"Morning son. Happy birthday." Mr H said placing his paper down as Mrs H placed plates full of eggs, toast and bacon in front of us, giving Patrick a kiss on the cheek. We all sat down and gave him his presents. I was the first to give him his present, he opened the smallish box to see 3 brand new lighters and a can of hair spray. he smiled with a small chuckle placing a kiss to my forehead.
