Great update hun, you are so strong for writing this
Thank you for your comment, I'm sorry though, I don't want sympathy. I tried hard to avoid linking myself with my characters. I'm really sorry but if people are going to find it hard to be objective I don't want to continue with the story.
I've already written two endings, if anyone wants the story discontinued I am more than happy to PM them to you.

Sorry for that, I really do like your story, and I will view more objectively from now on. Again, I am sorry
It is sixteen forty-two. I am five years old. Mummy is back at home now. She stays in bed a lot still and the doctors have given her some medication to make her feel better but all it does is make her feel sleepy, or sick. She and Daddy don’t sleep in the same bed now. Daddy sleeps downstairs, he says it’s because the medication makes Mummy a restless sleeper. Mummy has dark eyes at the moment; she just went downstairs to make some tea for herself. She hides in her room in the dark a lot recently. It sorta feels like she’s not a person anymore, she only comes out at night, doesn’t really eat much, or talk. I’ve seen her talking with her doctor before, the one that comes to our house to make sure she stays better.
Daddy says it will take her a while to be back to her old self and I think that is okay. He says it’s okay to be angry with her but I’m not angry with her. I am jealous of her. Mummy got to find a way to make all of the bad stuff stop. I want to be okay soon.

It is eight fifty-four. I am nine years old. Sam and I are talking again, we’d had a really big fight. A boy in the playground had tried to hit me and Sam told him not to, the boy hit Sam. Sam started yelling at him and the assistants had to break them apart, Sam’s parents got called down. They thought he started a fight. He didn’t. I did. We fought for a bit, he kept telling me how bad it was that he got told off when he was only trying to help.
I told him to let them hit me next time. Eventually we stopped fighting. He’s still mad with me but he said that we can share being hit. That sometimes he can stop them, other times he can run. That way I don’t get hurt so much but he doesn’t get hurt all the time.

“The good things don’t always soften the bad, but vice-versa, the bad things don’t necessarily spoil the good things and make them unimportant.”
“Nobody important? Blimey, that’s amazing. Do you know, in nine hundred years of time and space I’ve never met anyone who wasn’t important before.”
“If it’s time to go, remember what you’re leaving. Remember the best. My friends have always been the best of me.”
It is eleven fourteen. I am thirteen years old. I am waiting for that last minute to tick over, for it to be break-time. Sure enough, it does, I sit quietly until she decides it’s time for us to leave. It’s my time to show them I’m not ill, I want people to know that I’m okay. I need people to at least pretend that I am normal.
I walk out of French, hold my breath for one minute and then walk up to Ed, a boy who I have had only a few meaningless conversations with in the past.
“Heya Ed.” I say suddenly, he turns. Ed smiles down at me, I notice the large gap between his two front teeth and I inwardly wince. “Do you wanna go out with me sometime?”
His gap toothed smile grew ever wider and he stuttered “With me?” Reluctantly, ever so slowly I nod my head. I look around nervously. There is a crowd of three people watching us, listening intently. I watch as one leans in to a friend. Whispers. And I smile too. I am alive, I am real, I am, well, gossip.
