Broken
Chapter 6
Dream
’Maddie give me back my Barbie’ I whined as I tried to snatch it back from her
‘No I want it’ she huffed
‘Girls would you stop fighting’ Daddy yelled as he turned around to tell us off
‘Daddy there’s a Big truck….’ My sentence got short as the truck collided with the side of the car.
‘DADDY’ I screamed in panic before everything went black
I sat up in a panic sweating, I felt a hand grip my shoulder and I turned around and saw Harry.
‘Fran?’ He asked with a puzzled look on his face and I just collapsed back into his arms sobbing. He rubbed small circles on my back attempting to calm me down. I was shaking and no noise was coming from my mouth and it was exactly the day I woke up.
Flashback
It was black but I could hear beeping and I could feel someone squeezing my hand, I opened my eyes and adjusted to the bright light. I could feel myself starting to shake with fear, I had no idea where I was.
‘Frannie, Its okay sweetie I’m here, I’m here’ I felt my mummy’s arms around me hugging me and calming me down. Eventually I sat myself up and I looked round the room.
‘Mummy, where’s Maddie I want my Barbie back’ I asked and I could see her eyes filling up with tears.
‘Mummy?’ I asked again
‘Sweetie Maddie is still sleeping, she’s going to be asleep for a long time my love’
‘Will she wake up soon though?’ I asked, I didn’t understand what she was saying
‘I’m so sorry baby but Maddie Isn’t going to wake up ever again’ My mummy answered as the tears fell down her cheeks.
‘But why I want my Maddie’ I shouted as I started to cry, I didn’t like seeing my mummy so upset
‘She got very poorly from the crash and she didn’t recover and right now she’s sat up there with the angels and your gramps looking over you and making sure you get better’ She explained and I finally understood what she meant, I’d lost my Maddie and she was never coming back.
End of flashback
I could feel myself sobbing even harder now as the memories of that day came back to me, I don’t remember much after I worked out what my mum was saying but apparently I scared half the hospital with my screaming and crying. Madeline, Maddie for short, is my twin sister and we were going to meet our mum after she’d finished work for our 8th birthday when we crashed. Today was the anniversary of the crash, 9 years was a long time but it still hurt a lot. Maddie died a few minutes after the truck hit us because she’d taken her seatbelt off to reach for my Barbie and never put it back on, she wasn’t flung for the car but she hit her head badly when the car flipped and rolled. I escaped with a minor head injury and a broken leg, my dad broke his back and leg but it was nothing more than that and we were lucky that we both got out alive.
‘Fran, Talk to me love’ Harry spoke.
‘I don’t think I can Haz’ I sobbed and I felt him wrap his arms around me tighter if possible, He kissed me on the forehead and carried whispering things to calm me down and it worked eventually. My tears stopped coming and my breathing returned to normal.
‘Better?’ he asked and I just nodded against his chest, I was still shaking though something I always do when I’m scared or upset, something to do with the effects of the crash I never really understood it.
‘You’re still shaking though’ He pointed out as he took off his hoodie and put it on me, it was about 2 sizes too big but I didn’t care it was warm and smelled like him, I sucked in a breath before answering
‘I know, I do it when I get scared or upset its and after effect if you like’ I explained
‘I knew you lied that night when I asked you if you were scared of me and after effect of what?’ he asked and I knew he was desperate to find out what all this was about but I Just wasn’t ready to talk about it.
‘Not just yet Harry’ I mumbled and his response was cut short as I leaned up to kiss him, I moved so I was straddling his lap, I ran my fingers through his soft curls tugging on them lightly. I felt the cool metal of his lip ring against my mouth and the sensation gave me shivers of a good kind, I could feel his hands on my hips playing with the hem of my T-shirt and I could feel him growing harder and I started grinding my hips against his lightly. He ran his cold hands under my shirt making me shiver at his touch, He rested his hands on my hips and started rubbing small circles into them with his thumbs as I started kissing his jaw and down his neck along his collarbone before resting my lips on the tip of the wing of one of the birds inked into his chest. I found his amount of tattoos strangely attractive and I was curious to know the meaning behind most of them. I sat back and looked into his eyes, in that moment I had the feeling that he too had a reason or reasons behind the way he was and I wanted to find out what it was that caused him to be the way he is, I knew also that I wanted to fix whatever was broken about this boy.
