I stay sitting as Nadine opens the door, I take a deep breath, hoping it's not for me.

"Yeah, she is in." I just about hear Nadine say. I bite my lip and I hear before walk back in.

"It's your friends, Cianon, Jess and Luca." She says and I sigh a sigh of relief.

"Do you want me to let them in or send them away?" She asks, I smile.

"Let them in." I say and with a smile Nadine lets them in. I stand and in seconds I'm in a huge hug.

"We've missed you so much." I hear them all day in unison, I laugh and turn to Nadine.

"We're going upstairs, if I don't see you goodnight and just let us know if we're too loud." I say and with Nadine's nod I lead them upstairs.

"So what's been going on with all of you?" I ask them as we all sit on my bed. They all have similar stories, they passed all of their A-levels and Luca and Jess are gong to university. Cianon is living with Ryan and is going to work as receptionist and designer for Ryan as she can draw and Ryan gets to do more tattoos then.

"But what's going on with you? That's why we are here." Luca says.

"Nothing much, my therapist says I'm doing really well, I only see her around once every month. I play a lot of instruments, I do yoga classes now and I don't know my A-level results yet, I will soon though." I say, trying to avoid any mention of relationships.

"That's great." They all say and I smile, glad they didn't ask about Darren. Or so I thought.

"Has anything happened with Darren?" Jess asks. I look down and I don't answer.

"What happened?" Cianon asks seriously. I bite my lip.

"I drove over to surprise him, when he answered he was half naked and he didn't speak to me. I told him everything and he just stared. Then this 'blonde bombshell' opened the door more and called him babe and rubbed herself on him, she asked who I was so I just said I was nobody and I left." I say close to tears. They just hug me.

"If it's meant to be he will come to his senses." Luca says, I nod.

"What's this stuff?" Cianon asks, I look over to my wardrobe and see Cianon standing there with my yoga stuff in her hand.

"Yoga clothes." I say with a shrug.

"Where is the other stuff?" She asks.

"I threw most of it away, it reminded me of bad things." I say.

"That's it, we are going shopping." Cianon says and Jess and Luca agree. I roll my eyes but I don't mind, the idea has been in my head but my coping mechanism is to focus on things, the music, studying and yoga for example.

I invite them to stay the night and they do, Jess and Luca sleep in the guest room and me and Cianon share my bed, I admit it is nice to share a bed for once.

I wake up and put on my one pair of jeans and a tank top. I go downstairs and I eat breakfast with the girls that woke up before me. After we wake up properly we all get into my car and I drive.

"First we are hitting the salon, then overall shopping, and at about five I set up a nail salon appointment." Cianon says, typically organized.

We go to the salon and as the others just get trims I get my hair back to how it was before, properly coloured. I do get an undercut, with a triangle design and the triangles are dyed different colours.
