~ "Bearing the burden of a secret storm." ~

Sonny opened her eyes slowly, groaning loudly in pain as she looked around, her eyes settling on the woman laying close to her. She shook her head, crying out for her mum. She looked up at the man that was standing above the woman she loved so much,

"Mummy?" Tears ran down her face when her mother didn't move, crawling over to her and biting down on her lip to try and stop the tears. She carried on calling out for her, panicking when she didn't get an answer – she wondered if all her nightmares had come true.

She shook her body lightly,

"Wake up mummy." She whispered, the tears wouldn't stop falling from her face as she carried on shaking her, looking up at the man and shaking her head,

"You killed her!" She screamed at him, standing up, ignoring the pain that was shooting through her body.

"N-No!" He moved towards her but she took a step back,

"You're the one who should be be laying there... not her!"

"She's going to be fine."

"I hope you die daddy, I hate you." She lay back down next to her mum and put her hand in hers, wishing that she would just wake up.

"I hate you." She whispered over and over again, watching him as he walked away from the two of them and slammed the front door behind him.

"Please mummy, never leave me alone with him." She croaked out, wrapping her small arm around her mum's waist, pulling herself closer as she huddled into the woman she had no idea what she would do without.
