Missing them.
"Hey Matilda. Are you ok?" Sally asked the young girl. Sally had been walking down the corridor when she found Matilda sat against the lockers with tears streaming down her face.
"I'm scared" Mattie admitted.
"About Ric?" Sally asked her gently as she sat next to her.
"Yeah, it's just so hard. I lost Dad, then Henry, then, Kit, Scott, Granddad, and Robbie. Now Mums gone as well. What if Ric leaves me too?" Sally wrapped her arms around her.
"You know that if you ever needed them they would be here as soon as possible without even asking any questions. Besides you have a family here as well. You have Tony, Jack, Lucas, me, Mr.Stewart, Martha, Brad, Morag and Cassie. And I know Kim, Rachel, Belle and Drew are always here for you as well. You need to make the most of your time with Ric and not push him away." Sally told her.
"You guys all mean so much to me but sometimes I just wish I had my real family around"
"I know and if you ever need someone to talk to, I am always here for you."
"Thank you"
