"Maddie has the slightest of fractures on her wrist which should heal it's self in a month or so and a few bruises but she's fine and she can go home" Robyn said cheerfully before give them a small smile and walked to the nurses' station.

"Oh my poor baby" Dixie said kissing the top of her head and wrapping her arms round her daughter.

"Are you alright Princess?" Maddie nodded before she got up and wrapped her arms round her father's waist. Jeff kissed the top of his daughters head when the curtain was pulled back and Olivia appeared as she rushed over to her parents.

"Mum, dad" Olivia said cheerfully before hugging them both and they both kissed the top of her head.

"Maddie, why is your arm wrapped up like that?" Olivia asked pointing

"I fell over at school and I have broken it a little bit" Olivia walked over to Maddie and hugged her and Maddie hugged her little sister back.

"Let's go home kids" Dixie said as they all started walking through the ED saying goodbye to friends. Robyn rushed over to Maddie and handed her a little card which had her mobile number on.

"Give me a call sometime" Maddie hugged Robyn and then walked out of the ED with her parents. They drove home with a comfortable silence. Once they arrived home Maddie went up stairs and had a shower with her arm wrapped in several carrier bags. Maddie watched as the mud washed away the dirt and hurt from today leaving a clean and happier Maddie. Once she was out of the shower she dried herself and dried her hair when Dixie called to let her know it was dinner time.

"Maddie Dinner sweetheart "Dixie called up the stairs and a few moments later Maddie came down stairs in her Pj's and joined them at the table.

Maddie took a few bites but once again she pushed her food about on her plate. "Maddie sweetie please try and eat a bit more" Dixie said gently.

"Mum I'm just not hungry, please don't make me eat anymore" Maddie looked up at her mum with pleading eyes through her glasses.

"Alright sweet pea" Dixie said weakly.

Once they finished eating dinner Olivia went to bed leaving Jeff, Dixie and Maddie staying up late.

"Maddie, if there was something wrong you would tell us wouldn't you?" Jeff said gently.

"Yeah of course I would" Maddie said lying through her teeth.

"Dad?" Maddie asked softly.

"Yes princess"

"Can I sit with you and mum?" Jeff patted next to him and Dixie where there was a free space. Maddie walked over to her mum and dad and climbed between them both and they both cuddled up to Maddie who rested her head on her mother's shoulder.

"Mum? Dad?"

"Yes princess"

"Love you dad, love you mum"

"We love you to boo" Dixie said kissing the top of Maddie's head .an hour later Jeff looked down to see Maddie and Dixie were fast a sleep with Maddie's head on her shoulder and Dixie's head rested on top of hers. Jeff lifted Maddie into his arms and carried Maddie to bed and placed her into her bed and tucked her in and placed her glasses on her table beside her bed before he placed a soft kiss on her forehead before he left the room. Jeff walked back down stairs and woke Dixie up and they both headed up stairs to bed where they changed and climbed into bed. Dixie cuddled up to Jeff and fell asleep.

"I love you Dixie" Jeff whispered to see a slight smile form on Dixie's lips and she wriggled closer to Jeff.

Maddie woke up with her alarm glaring with its might at 7am in forming her it was another day at School and another day of hell a head of her. Maddie let out a grown and didn't want to get out of bed knowing something was going to happen to her like always.

Maddie stretched and yawned before she climbed out of bed grabbed her glasses and made her bed like she always did and then she took a quick shower with bags on her arms again. Once she was out of the shower she got dressed into her clean school uniform and styled her hair with the front bit clipped back. Once Maddie was pleased she headed down stairs to see her mother putting yesterday's school clothes into the washing machine.

"I'm sorry I ruined my uniform mum" Maddie said with tears in her eyes.

"It's alright sweetie, it's nothing a good wash can't sort out, so don't worry about it baby" Dixie walked over to Maddie and gave her a cuddle. Jeff walked into the kitchen and kissed the top of Maddie's head before he took his usual seat at the table and started eating his breakfast.

A few minutes later Olivia came skipping into the kitchen taking a seat the table. "Morning bubs" Dixie said to Olivia who smiled at her mother.

"Morning princess" Jeff said winking at Olivia who giggled and took a large mouthful of cereal.

"Morning Livvy" Maddie said smiling at her little sister who rushed up to Maddie and hugged her before she took her seat back at the table.

Once they had their breakfast Jeff and Dixie and both girls headed to the car and drove to school where they parked up and said their goodbyes to Olivia who rushed off to her friends skipping at she reached them.

"Bye sweet pea, it will be me or your father who will pick you both up today alright" Dixie cupped Maddie's face and looked into her hazel eyes before she pulled her into a tight cuddle. Once Dixie let go of Maddie she walked round to the driver's side of the car and kissed her father on his cheek before she called out goodbye to her parents who drove off. Maddie looked round nervously hoping Emily wouldn't appear but Luck was on her side this morning Maddie thought. Maddie walked into the building wondering if summer was going to be there this morning. Maddie scanned crowds of people hoping to see summer but no sign yet. Maddie went to her locker and got her sketch book ready for Art which was her first subject. Maddie hung her bag into her locker locked it she then carried her sketch book as she walked down the long corridor passing people. She rounded the corner and slipped sending her book flying into the bin and at that second Emily threw her smoothie into the bin with the lid off which splashed all over Maddie herself and landed all over Maddie's sketch book.

"No, please be ok" Maddie rushed over to the bin and at the moment Emily said "she obviously doesn't get fed enough at home or allowed to wash often at home, poor thing" just as Maddie fished out her sketch book from the bin seeing the contents of smoothie dripping as she held her book in the air above the bin and the smoothie contents continued to drip off the book and herself..

"Aww poor Muddy Maddie" Maddie wiped her glasses the best she could but it just smudged all over the lenses.

A group had now formed and stood there laughing at Maddie covered in smoothie from head to toe. Maddie looked round at the people laughing and pointing for a second be for she rushed off towards the toilets and to add to Maddie's embarrassment she slipped a little as she reached the bathroom sending her skidding it to the door which sent a loud roar of laughter from fellow class mates.
