I couldn't sleep. I never really could, and if I did it was broken and uncomfortable.

"Is everything okay darling I thought you were cry - '' Mum began to say. Her eyes focused on my arms and the blood on my thighs. I saw her cave in. I almost felt it happen. The flip of her stomach and the disappointment it settled with. The feeling that she had failed as a mother. "What on earth? I knew something was wrong! I thought just hormones! I didn't ... oh my god! What? What's wrong?"

I fell into her. Crying my eyes out. She wrapped her arms around me and held me close. Moving my head into her lap gently she began stroking my hair. Bring my knees on top of the bed. She began to cry with me.

"We will get you help. You'll be okay. It's okay. Oh darling. My baby girl. My baby!" She cried into my hair.
