Reassurance.

chapter seventeen.

I arrived home and went to eat dinner in the dining room with Adam and Luca. Luca had cooked us a lovely meal of cajun chickcen with a ceasar salad.

"Hey zee, successful shopping?" Said Adam.

"yeah thanks, got loads of things."

"Good. So I looked into the therapy thing, theres a lady who has an office in knightsbridge if that sounds good?" Said Luca.

"Yeah, thanks that sounds great."

"Okay, good. She does a free first meeting where she will talk about your family life and what its like in the family home, something about feeling secure and how it affects the nightmares, and then its £50 for the first session which mum is funding for you, she asks you questions about the ordeal and then at the end she concludes a rota and decides how often you see her."

"Okay, I can go through with that, doesnt sound too bad." I smile at him across the table and we each continue dinner in silence. When we finish I load the dishwasher and get ready for the cinema.

"We're leaving at half eight okay Zara?" Adam sais.

"Yeah meet you down here then."

I run up to my bedroom and into my walk in closet. I decide I want to look nice as Jamies coming. I shed my skinny jeans and top and opt for black leggings instead, I then discover and loose top that hangs down to the back of my knees at the front but rests on my waistline at the front. Its silver at the front and a nude pink at the back, I slip on to a pair of nude dolly shoes to match.

I go over to my dressing table and release my hair from its ponytail then run the straighteners through it and let it cascade down my back in long, blonde waves. I add a little more foundation on the top of my earlier make up, touch up my mascara and eyeshadow and leave to meet the boys.

I get into the entrace hall where Luca and Adam are waiting with Jamie, Mason, Alex and Ed.

"Hey Zara" They each chorus, I give a shy "Hi" back to them.

"Right then, cars. Luca youre driving Mason Alex and Ed, picking up Max on the way and Jamie and Zara, youre with me. Ready?"

When everyones ready we leave the house and get into the cars, Jamie sitting in the passenger seat and me in the back. None of us speak but the car is filled with the sound of the radio.
