Lauren pulled herself up from the floor and moved over to her bed, falling exhaustedly onto the sheets. It wasn't late, half 1 at the latest and yet she felt as though she could sleep for weeks. There was a silence again, the silence that had killed her for months whilst she'd been locked in a room. The tell tail sign of the door being unlocked was what woke her an hour or so later.
"Lauren, sweetheart , I brought you food and tablets" her Mum informed her, her tough exterior from earlier having vanished once she saw the state her daughter was in "come on, baby, you have to eat"
"I'm not hungry" she whispered, pulling the duvet around her in order to create some warmth.
"Lauren, come on, for me" she begged, running her hand through her daughter's hair
"For you?" Lauren questioned, bitterness running through her words "why would I do anything for you? It's not like you're doing anything for me, is it?"
"When will you see this is best for you, Lauren?" Tanya asked, sighing heavily as she placed the food on the desk along with her tablets and a bottle of water "eat, Lauren, you'll get ill. And just so you know, your Dad, Abi and Oscar and I shall be out tonight, so behave yourself"
"How much trouble can I get into locked in a room?" she hissed as Tanya shook her head and walked out of the room, locking the door behind her.
something must have gone on right ?
So sorry for the later post I've been in hospital all day... I have re-torn my barely healed tendons in my ankle :(
But anyway better later than never and I may post again later...
