wondering where I would go in public dressed like this. I lift the top back up over my shoulder where it has slipped once again and stand there uncomfortably.
                  “We’re going to town?” Cat asks me not picking up on the awkward situation.
                  “Yes” I snap at her then calm my voice down “I have some things I need to pick up and I’m sure there was a reason for you to drag me away from what I was doing”
                  “Right, yes we should be making a move then” she smiles back at everyone.
                  “It was lovely to see you all again” I lie and seriously consider the benefits of locking myself away and never coming out again, fresh air isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.
                  Everyone says their goodbyes to us and we start out walk back up the beach towards town.
                  “Oh Louise?” I turn when I hear Anne calling after me “It would be lovely if you and Chris could come over for dinner some time”.
                  I smile back and nod my agreement “Never in a million years” I say through my smile.
                  “What did she say to you? It looked like you wanted to slap her” Cat asks stopping when we reach the steps that will take us into town.
                  “She jus wanted to make sure I’m not going to turn up at the wedding and declare my love for her son” I shrug holding back my anger.
                  “Your not really going to go into town are you?” she asks me ignoring what I just told her and taking in my outfit.
                  “Why the hell not? Maybe then everyone will stop worrying about me and just think that Kyle would never leave the lovely Amber for someone who walks around looking homeless” I grumble climbing the steps.
                  “You know she was out of line for saying that to you right?” I hear behind me.
                  “What can I do about it? Drop down on my knees in front of him and everyone else and beg that he comes back to me? Maybe I should … just for entertainment purposes” I smile to myself imagining the look on everyone’s faces, they all say these things but I don’t think any of them actually expect it to happen.
                  “You’re loosing it, have you spoken to Chris today?” she asks looking truly worried. I roll my eyes at her; I would never have the courage to do something like that.
                  “No I haven’t spoken to him since yesterday afternoon” I admit on a sigh.
                  “That’s why you’re so bitchy and snappy. You need some loving” she winks at me and I snort. I am defiantly not in the mood for sex right now.
                  “Yeah that’s just what I need; I think I’m just a bit hormonal”
                  “Alcohol or coffee?” she asks morphing back into the best friend that I know and love.
                  “Coffee” I really could do with a drink but I have to be there to help the nurse later.

                  Later that night while I’m sat in the kitchen finishing my dinner silently crying I’m distracted by a knock at the door. I answer hoping it’s not Chris; I can’t deal with him right now.
                  “Hi” I frown wiping my wet cheeks with the sleeve of my oversized sweater.
                  “I came to see your father sweetie” Mason says pulling into a comforting hug.
                  “Umm  ... he’s not … you can’t” I stutter still crying.
                  “I know, Kyle told me” he says rubbing my back soothingly.
                  “Let’s go see if he’s awake then” I turn
