“OPEN YOUR DOOR. I know you’re in there!” I pound on Meara’s door and almost fall in when she opens it.

“What the hell is your problem? It’s so early.” She rubs her eyes and yawns.

“It’s not early, it’s almost noon. I need help. Like bad.”

She must sense the desperation in my voice because her head snaps up and her tired eyes are quickly replace with concerned ones.

“Why? What’s wrong? What happened?”

“Travis is taking me to meet his parents tomorrow,” I say nervously.

She looks at me with wide eyes before she starts laughing hysterically.

“Stop laughing, it’s not funny. What am I going to wear? How am I going to avoid questions about how we met?” She’s still laughing, so I hit her with my purse. She rubs her arm and stops, shooting evil eyes at me.

“Seriously, Meara. I’m freaking out!”

“Okay, geeze, don’t get your panties in a wad. Everything will be fine, I promise. Give me like twenty minutes to take a shower, okay?”

She doesn’t wait for an answer before she walks away. A few minutes later, I hear the water turn on. I wander around her apartment and stop to look at the collection of pictures she has on her wall. Some of them are family, me included. Most of them are of her and her boyfriend, Liam. They’ve been together since they were kids, and seeing the pictures of them as teenagers together is so cute. It’s too bad that they don't see each other much since he’s been touring with his band.

“Okay, now sit your ass down and talk to me.” She’s dressed in ripped skinny jeans and a black concert tee so faded you can barely see the logo. Her shoes are high-heeled spiky black boots. She thinks she’s too short at five-foot-four, so you won’t ever find her in anything less than three-inch heels.

I follow her to the kitchen and plop down on a stool. Aside from Dr. Reynolds, she’s the only one who knows everything. I tell her Travis wants to take me to meet his parents, and how nervous I am.

“You need a damn Xanax. Calm yourself, child.”

“No, I can’t calm down! This is huge for me, for us. Meeting his parents means that we’re actually something. And I still haven’t told him everything. What if he decides—”

She swats my flailing hands. “I said calm down. You worry too much, sheesh. Eat this, we’ll go shopping to get you an outfit, then we’ll go to the pub and have a drink to settle your ass down.”

“Okay. Okay.” I can barely swallow the bagel Meara made for me because the knot in my stomach is so large, it feels lodged in my throat.

“I can’t eat right now, I’m sorry.”

“It’s okay. Hey.” I look at her and scrunch my eyebrows at her serious expression. “Everything will be okay. You know that, right? Look at what you’ve already been through. This’ll be a cakewalk.”
