Chapter 6

The following morning, Vivian attended the women's shelter with her counsellor that had been doing the best she could to assist her with her traumatic past and guide to rebuild or create a new beginning. Waiting to be invited in the room as she waited, whilst the receptionist answered the phone. Took messages, made bookings and filed folders when suddenly the door finally opened and the patient that walked out, shook the doctor's hand and left. Looking to her right before making her way to the reception desk and requested for the file before calling the name of the next patient which was going to be Vivian.

"Ms Vivian kendricks." Dr Andrea Wyatt gently called, smiling tenderly as she waited by the opening of her office. Hearing her name, immediately stood up and walked to the doctor and was quietly gestured in the room as the doctor followed and closed the door behind them. Opening her hand out to gently insist her patient to take a seat. Which was obediently taken and instead of sitting, comfortably laid on the lounge chair. "It has been some time since the last session we had, Vivian. What happened?" Dr Wyatt asked, taking her seat beside Vivian and opened her notepad as she prepared to write down what is going to be shared.

"Those terrible dreams had came back." Vivian replied, with a soft tone in her soft spoken voice as she laid on the lounge chair, staring at the ceiling above her. The doctor wrote down the first of many what is going to be heard and discussed throughout the session. "I see. Have you been taking the medication I have given you for your reoccurring nightmares?"

Shaking her head then softly answered. "I ran out." Noting down the prescription for anit-depressants with anti-anxiety and sleeping pills. "When was the last time you've attended a support group, Vivian?" Dr Wyatt asked gently. "One year ago." Vivian replied, rubbing her forearm. "I suggest you attend another this week and take these medications again. And I shall see you in three months." Dr Wyatt suggested, handing the prescription to her. Taking the prescription and stood up slowly before leaving the room as she was instructed to make another appointment in three months prior and made a booking for a support group.

Once completed, taking her card of when is the next date for the upcoming session for therapy. Going back to her car, placing her bag aside as she got in and inserted the key in the ignition then leaned her head back and deeply sighed. Looking into the mirror and adjusted it, glaring at herself for a couple seconds then looked before her as she started the engine and buckled up then reversed out of the parking space before turning around and exiting the car parking lot. It was one later when she finally arrived home and parked her car in the private parking of the secured building she rented. Slowly getting out of the car, locking it then made her way to the elevator when she was beginning to have a panic attack. Leaning against the wall, holding herself up and doing her breathing exercises to calm herself as she was having flashbacks in awakening.

It had been five years since her attack and still, had affected her as the memory felt as it were only five minutes before. Forever telling herself, that her attackers will never be released for what they had done unto her and what they had infected her with. There had been times she wished, that if she had taken another path that day, maybe it could had been prevented but seem all the same as she realised. Either path or way she may take, someone else may be in her very place if it weren't her. But then, no matter what or whom or how, the event was inevitable and is something that should never ever be wished unto anyone no matter the reason.

Whence her breathing was finally balanced and her panic attack finally asided, she was able to walk normally and unlock the door to her apartment soon she had finally gotten to it. Opening the door when hearing a big thud that had echoed in the hall, standing in the doorway of her apartment when another door had opened, and a scrawny man stepped out as the door slammed shut behind him. Staring at Vivian with deepening angry glance and breathed heavily, she felt uncomfortable and hurried inside as the man walked in the other direction, followed by the woman in tears calling out to him. Pleading him to return inside with her, as he continued to ignore her and disappear down the stairway around the corner of the corridor. Leaning against the door, gently inhaled then sighed as she listened to the echoing shouting of the couple fighting. Locking her door, as she turned her stereo on and played Mozart music to hopefully calm herself and went to turn her laptop on when had realised it was in the repair shop so she got her tablet instead and logged in to the site.

Nervously exhaled as she wondered what she was going to say to Donatellotechgeekprofessor but had to see if he were online first. Taking a few deep breathes then logged in, looked to her messages and read them as she looked to his profile, and see if he was online.

Nervously smiled as she found that he was and sent the first message then waited. "Hi, donatellotechgeekprofessor. How are you? How was your day? Mine was quiet and busy. Hope to hear from you soon."

The purple clad terrapin walked in his lab, placing the hot brewed coffee down on his desk then sat down as he exhaled softly and pressed the enter key to turn his computer on and checked his messages as he automatically ignored the other messages and smiled with glee when he saw friendlyangel's message and immediately replied.

"Hi friendlyangel, I am doing well. My day was pretty full on and busy too. And how are you?" just as when he sent the reply message, a knock at the door had distracted him. Exhaling a deep sigh then pushed himself out of the chair and walked to the door, opening it. "Hungry?" mikey asked, smiling happily and hopeful as he held a large tray of hot food for Donnie. "What is the occasion? Did raphael set you up to this?"

Tilting his head confused and replied. "No why would he? I thought you'd be hungry." The purple clad terrapin suddenly felt guilty and took the tray then said with a soft tone in his guilty voice. "I am sorry mikey and thankyou. It looks scrumptious."

Mikey smiled happily and held his hands behind his shell, lightly shuffled his feet. "Can I come in?" Swallowing the first mouth of fried rice that his little brother made and replied. "Why would you like to come in? I have nothing to give you to do mikey." Lightly shrugged and answered. "What about just sit with you while working on the blueprints." Sheepishly grinned. "Why the sudden interest, mikey?" Donnie gazed with suspicion.

"No reason, Donnie. Just wanted to spend time with you." Mikey glared with puppy dog eyes and clasped hands together beneath his chin with a sheepish pleading smile. He sighed in defeat and invited him in then asked. "Don't touch anything and no silly business or you will be out."

Mikey smiled then skipped in like a kid in a candy store as he nodded and said. "I'll be good, I promise." Rubbing his temple and sighed. "I hope you do mean you will be good mikey." With a instant reply as he quickly knelt down. "I promise I will be good."

"Ok mikey, sit there. No touching." Donnie instructed as mikey smiled and nodded when saw the messages in the inbox from friendlyangel. "Oooo who is the hottie?" mikey asked. "She is a friend." Donnie replied. "She is hot." Mikey commented. "Behave mikey." Donnie requested. Zipping his lips then smiled as he sat quietly when the inbox tone rang.

Friendlyangel: I am well, donatellotechgeekprofessor. Just tired after work and now my kittie is hungry, lol.

Donatellotechgeekprofessor: haha, please call me Donnie. And what type of kittie do you have?

Friendlyangel: She is a ginger and white, a Turkish flan. Do you have any cats?

Donatellotechgeekprofessor: no, I don't have a cat but my younger brother does though. And he is ginger and white short hair. May I ask what is your name?

Friendlyangel: oh aww how cute, and what a coincidence. And my name is Vivian. Nice to meet you.

Donatellotechgeekprofessor: yeah likewise. Never thought we'd finally have the chance to chat as since we were relaying reply messages to each others inboxes. Lol.

Friendlyangel: lol yeah, I know what you mean and it is good that we can chat like proper people. So how old are you? I am 20. And what are you exactly searching for on this site? Youre the first that hasn't asked for pornographic photographs.

Donatellotechgeekprofessor: I am also 20 and I am looking for a friend, but open to relationship though. And I know exactly what you mean about the pornographic photograph thing as I have had the same requests by countless of females myself and even received unimaginable amount of pictures from women, showing me of their glory. –blush-

Friendlyangel: wow, cant imagine how many women could be so vulgar and low with self esteem. Whatever happened to old fashion chatting and grow friendship?

Donatellotechgeekprofessor: I know how you mean and what you mean. It is sad, that some would go extreme lengths for attention. What about you? What are you looking for? Whoops silly question as you already confirmed what you are searching for as I am searching for the same.

Friendlyangel: LOL. What do you do for a living?

Donatellotechgeekprofessor: I am online IT tech assistant. How about you?

Friendlyangel: I am a support worker for youth. I work from home.

Donatellotechgeekprofessor: I see, not enough space in the office?

Friendlyangel: you can say that. The office is been renovated at present time. –yawn- I had a big day, today and hoping to get to my gym lesson in the morning so I better get to bed early. Nice to finally meet you and chat with you. Ill be back soon I get home.

Donatellotechgeekprofessor: likewise Vivian. Hope to chat soon and sweet dreams, sleep well.

Vivian smiled as she wanted to stay online alittle longer but was feeling tired after the day she had and weren't in the right mind to continue chatting after the evening before as she had been having nightmares of her past since it had been five years. Logging off and turned her tablet off, then had a warm cup of tea then went to bed, with a happy smile on her face and pure joy in her heart that she had been for a long time. Meanwhile, mikey looked to his older brother and chuckled as Donnie looked back and said. "What?"

"Nothing." Mikey replied. "No there is something what is it?" Donnie asked. "You're in love, Donnie." Mikey stated. Donnie blushed and replied quickly. "I think it would be way too early to say im in love just yet, since we only just got the chance to chat after relaying reply messages."

"Sorry Donnie." Mikey apologised softly. "It's ok mikey." Donnie replied, forgiving his brother. "So how long, have you kinda know this lady?" mikey asked, curiously wondered. "Two weeks off and on."

"Cool. Would she have any lady friends?" mikey wondered with a big smile. "I don't know, mikey. You want to know if you can find a lady friend, right?" mikey nodded fast. "I must warn you mikey that you may get yourself in too deep here." Donnie explained with a gentle warning. "Least I get to meet new sexy ladies, whats the harm in that?" he instantly replied, grinned.

The purple clad terrapin sighed and replied. "Alright then. Don't complain later when I did warn you." Handing the web address to him, and before he could say anything. Mikey rushed out the door and said as he popped his head in the doorway when realised he had shot off. "Thanks Donnie. You're the best." Then disappeared as Donnie blinked stunned then smiled and chuckled, continued on with what he had to do then logged off, then turned his computer off before heading to bed.
