Thanks for reviewing. I am so sorry for the long wait with the update I have been so busy and working full time but at the end of the month I go back to part time so I should have more time to update.

Sophia's POV

It's been over a week since the incident with Ms Burns. My nightmares have been worse this last week but I have been hiding it well but my dad keeps talking to me about going to see Dr Flynn and I keep refusing but if he finds out about the nightmares he will force me to go and I really cannot be bothered with all this right now. I am still volunteering at the hospital although I had to take a few weeks of due to my dad insisting after my own time spent in the hospital but I cannot wait to return to it today. I went to busy Sam one day and he was doing amazing he has actually been discharged which is amazing. I am so happy for him and his parents but I am actually a little disappointed that I won't see him every weekend which is really selfish of me.

"Sophia sweetheart are you ready to go I'll be dropping you today." My dad says as he walks into my room.

"Ye dad I'll just be a minute."

"Oh right sweet pea I'll wait for you downstairs."

"Yeah that's fine dad I'll be down in just a minute." I say as I finish packing my bag for work.

Once I am done I head downstairs and my dad and I make our way to the car.

"Is sawyer not coming today dad." I ask him as we get into the car.

"Sophia what do you think the answer to that will be." He says looking at me with an amused face.

"Well it could be no you know you might actually be able to trust me to go into work on my own dad." I say smoking at him.

"Well I hate to burst your bubble but you are wrong and he is coming and sweet pea I don't know how many times I have to say this but it's not that I don't trust you it's that I don't trust the people around. You would think you would be used to this by now since you have had security basically since you were born." He says to kind of sternly.

"I know dad I was inly messing with you but a girl can dream." I say laughing.

"Well you can keep on dreaming because as long as I am around you will have security with you." He says seriously.

"Ye ye dad I know I have had this speech of you multiple times. I can't wait for teddy and Phoebe to get older and start trying to sneak away from security it will be so entertaining." I say laughing but my dads face goes all serious.

"Don't even joke about that Sophia." He says.

"Will sawyer be dropping me home dad afterwards."

"Yes he will your mother and I have a meeting me have to attend but we should be home soon after you."

"Okay dad."

"Sophia I was meaning to talk to you about something." I already know what he is going to say.

"Dad if you want to talk to me about going to see Dr Flynn I have already told you I don't need to and I don't want to." I say looking at him seriously.

"Sophia after the Incident at school last week I think it will be good for you." He says.

"Dad I won't change my mind on this matter." I say.

"Well I'd anything else happens or if your nightmares return you will not have a choice in the matter." He says sternly. I start freaking out inside If he finds out my nightmares have returned he will definitely force me to go and see him.

"Ye whatever dad." I say sounding annoyed but in reality I am freaking out.

"Sophia you have had a lot of things going on recently like being in the hospital and the incident last week I just think it could do you some good."

"Dad I have already told you my answer I'm not going."

"Alright I will drop this topic for now." He says as we arrive at the hospital.

"Have a good day sweet pea. I love you." He says smiling at me as I get out.

"See you later dad I love you to." I say and then shit the door and then I make my way into the hospital and get ready for my shift to start.

The day is going pretty quickly I miss playing with Sam but it is an amazing this game for him to be discharged. He has basically beaten his cancer and I am so proud and happy for him and his family. I go around to the rooms and introduce myself to some of the new family and their kids and start playing with them to give their family a little break and allow them to go down to the cafeteria and get some coffee or whatever. When my shift is almost over a new little girl is taken into one of the rooms she had just been brought up from the ER. There are a load of doctors and nurses around her and as I am walking by the room my heart drops.

The little girl looks four or five and she has bruises all over her and what looks to be cigarette burns and other types of burns all over her. She looks extremely malnourished as-well. I hear the nurses talking and I also see some police officers around. The little girls neighbour rang the police after they heard the little girl screaming and it appears her mother and her mother's boyfriend has done this to her and I also find out that she is actually seven years old. I can't believe my eyes how could they do this to her. That poor little girl. It takes all my strength to not run in there and hug the little girl and I do every thing in my power to hold in my tears. I keep getting flashbacks to my own kidnapping and Sarah's and Ryan's abuse. I run into the bathroom and get sick. I hold my tears in though and get daft to go home. I try to get the images out of my mind but they just won't go away. I wave goodbye to nurses and then make my way to sawyer who is unaware of what just happened as he was not there. We make our way to the car.

"Sophia are you okay you seem a bit upset." Sawyer says when we are in the car. When he says this is start crying.

"Sophia are you alright what happened." I don't answer and continue crying.

"Sophia please talk to me what's the matter."

"I just saw something that was really upsetting. I say through my tears." I want my dad." I say.

"Your dads meeting Finished early he should be there when you get home." I just nod my head in reply.

I can't believe I get still get so affected by these things to this day.

When we get home I see that my dad isn't home yet so I run straight up to my room. I lie in my bed and just start crying even harder.

After a few minutes I hear my dad come in.

"Sophia sweet pea what's the matter." He says as he comes over and engulfs me in a hug.

"Dad it was so horrible." I say.

"What was sweet pea." He says sounding very concerned.

"A little girl came into the hospital today dad she was so badly abused. She was covered in bruises and burns dad it was horrible." I say holding onto him for dear life.

"Oh Sophia I know that must have been so hard to see. It must have remained you if many things from your childhood." I just hid him tighter and nod my head.

"Sophia don't worry you are safe and so is that little girl." I just continue crying and after ten minutes of my dad hugging me and telling me that everything will be okay he starts asking me about Dr Flynn again.

"Sophia I am going to arrange an appointment with Dr Flynn for you." He says.

"Dad honestly no I'll be fine."

"No Sophia I have let it go on this long and I have let you make your own decision but I'm your dad and I know what's best for you. I know you don't want to go see him but I think it will be on your best interest if you do. I love you to much sweet pea to allow you to continue on like this. This is a very hard thing to come across and doctors and nurses always go to council long after coming across stuff like this and taking into account your past and recent events I fully believe it will do you some good." I know that there is no point on fighting with him on this. He has let it go on this long. I know I was lucky enough to get away with it for this long.

"Fine dad." I say. Just because I have to go and see him does not mean that I have to talk to him.

Please review. The next chapter will consist of Sophia's appointment with Dr Flynn. Sorry again about the long wait.

If you have anything you want to see in the story just comment it and I will do my best to include it. The next chapter will be up in the next few days.
