“He doesn’t love us anymore, or he wouldn’t have left us here by ourselves,” her hands found her face in the darkness and she rubbed her eyes, colours spewing into her vision. A yawn escaped her throat.
“Were not by ourselves, mum and dad are here.”
“Like I said, by ourselves,” she rolled over, making the bunk bed sway. They didn’t say anymore, it was late and they had school in the morning. There was homework she had to do, it wasn’t hard or anything, she just had pressing things on her mind.
