A week had passed since Olivia's first group session. She felt a lot better. Talking to the group had been a relief and Olivia had gotten the support she needed. Today was the session that Fin would be attending. He had agreed without a second thought when Rebecca had called him. Olivia liked that Fin was coming. She wanted to stop her nightmares but she also wanted to have her friend back.
"Good morning Olivia," said Rebecca cheerfully.
"Morning. I hope this isn't too early for you," replied Olivia. It was nine in the morning so that work would hardly be affected.
"Of course not. How are you feeling?"
"I want to have my friend back."
A smile crossed Rebecca's face at the old look of determination on her friend's face. It had been a while since she had seen it. Her musings were interrupted by a knock at the door, which she then got up to answer. Fin walked in a few seconds later.
"Hey Liv," said Fin. He smiled at his friend.
"Hi." Olivia had started to feel uncomfortable.
"Come on, hug time Livia." Fin wrapped his arms around his friend.
Olivia tensed in Fin's arms, but quickly relaxed when she realised who she was hugging. "Thanks Fin. You know, Rebecca, I think I can do this on my own now. Thank you for your help."
Rebecca watched as her friend walked out of the office with Fin, a huge smile adorning her face.
Two weeks had gone past, and Olivia hadn't gone back to Rebecca again. She was happy, and work had returned to normal. Her life was on the right track again and she had her friends to support her.
Hope you enjoyed the story. :)
