ass long enough to be aware of what’s happening with everyone else.”  The emotional bitch slap I received from Cheri was deserved. 
    “What was that about anyway?” Cheri asked, pointing upstairs and referring to the quickie with the mover, and I really don’t want to talk about it.
    “It’s nothing” I say turning away.
    “Don’t forget Viv, we know you too.  If you don’t talk to us, we can’t help. Tell us how to help you.” 
    “If I knew how to fix myself don’t you think I would’ve done it already? I’m not hurting anyone.” Except me, I think to myself.
    Cheri walks over and grabs my shoulders and shakes me.
    “We won’t stand by and let anyone hurt you Viv, not even you.  That’s what friends are for.” 
    “There’s nothing to talk about, besides I have boxes to unpack.” I say.
     
    I go back upstairs to my loft.  The door to my large walk in closet is open, and I peek inside to see the boxes marked with blue X’s stacked neatly in the corner.  I stand there staring for a few moments before shutting the door.
    I gasp as I feel a sharp pain like someone has just ripped my beating heart from my chest.  I feel a veil of despair and anger start to fill me and I need something to drive it out.   I need more than meds or alcohol to ease this deep pain.  I need the carnal pleasure of sex to make me forget; and from the way I’m feeling now I would say I need lots of it.
    I look at the boxes in the room trying to find a place to start.  I turn around surprised to see Cheri and Lauren outside the doorway. 
    “We came to see if you need help unpacking …and to apologize.” Cheri says looking anywhere but at me.
    “I shouldn’t have hit you wi th the cheap shots.” Lauren adds.
    “It was wrong for me to judge you.  We both promise to be here to support you.  Can you ever forgive us for being stupid?”
    “You’re forgiven.”  I say with a smile as I bring my friends in close for a hug.
    “I guess I am jealous.”  Cheri mumbles as she grabs a box and opens it.  “I haven’t gotten laid in so long.  I don’t know if I remember how it works with something that doesn’t run on batteries.” She continues, and then we all start laughing, it feels good to laugh with them.
     
    “Well I’m going to head out later and you are welcome to come with.” I mention as we finish unpacking the last box.
    We have no secrets; they know where ‘out’ is.
    “Club Xc ape?! That’s so gross to me.” Cheri says and makes a face like she’s just tasted something sour.
    “I don’t think I want to spend my ev ening with a bunch of perverts” Lauren quickly adds.
    “No offense Viv.” Her hands are up, showing surrender.
    “None taken.” I shrug.
    W hen I notice the sky getting dark, I look at the time and see that I need to start getting ready. 
    “Thanks for the help guys, I love you.”  I say to my two best friends.
    “ We love you too Viv.” Cheri and Lauren both say simultaneously.
    “I’ll be out late, so I’ll just see you guys in the morning.” 
    “Ok, be safe Viv.”  Lauren says and walks out the door.
     
    What to wear , what to wear.  I search my closet for something to put on and nothing catches my eye. I come to the conclusion a shopping trip in order before heading to the club.
    On South Street , I see a lot of college age girls going into a new shop on the corner, so I make my way in that direction to take a look.  In the window, a black leather outfit catches my eye; I go inside to try it on.
      I n the store I browse around for a few other things to take with me to the dressing room, I hate the ordeal of getting naked to try on just one thing.  I pick several other sexy dresses and make my way to the changing room.  Everything looks and fits great; I save the leather outfit for last.  The shirt, if you can call it that has a solitary studded button in the middle holding it together and the bottom flares out at the ends showing off my belly
