ESME'S POV
FRIDAY 20th OCTOBER 2017
After a week of being Wren Taylor's girlfriend and avoiding Kyle Pierce at all costs I was getting ready for the fancy dress party we were going to. I had finally agreed to be Sandy from Grease and was pulling on a curly blonde wig when Wren walked into my bedroom and wrapped his arms around my waist, cuddling me from behind. "Hi babe," he pecked my cheek.
"I do not look right as a blond," I pouted at myself in the mirror and tucked the brunette strands of hair into the wig. I was dressed in a skin tight black jumpsuit and a leather jacket which really was not me.
"I think you look hot," he smirked at me.
I rolled my eyes and gently pushed him off of me. "I don't know why I even agreed to this, I hate parties and you know that."
"It's good for your anxiety to get out Es, you know that," Wren sighed and slouched down onto my bed.
"Oh and you know what is best for my anxiety? Didn't realise I hired you as my new therapist," I sighed and fiddled with my wig a bit more.
"You know I didn't mean that, we won't go if you don't want to. We can stay here and watch movies," he suggested and I shook my head. I felt bad for snapping at him and so I picked up my black bag and shrugged it onto my shoulder.
"No, it's fine. Let's go," I sighed and headed for my bedroom door. Wren got up from my bed and followed me out of the bedroom where we bumped into Penny and Kyle who were leaving his bedroom. She was dressed up as Cinderella and he was dressed up as one of the Men in Black, when she saw me a smirk spread out on her lips.
"You look so precious - trying to look hot?" She giggled at me and I immediately looked away.
"Leave her alone Penny," Wren snapped at her and placed his hand on my hip. "Esme is beautiful, maybe that's why you're so jealous of her," he continued to taunt her and then lightly pushed me towards the stairs to get away from her.
"The most pathetic couple," Penny muttered to Kyle who remained silent behind us. We both started to step down the stairs and when we got to the bottom I put on some of my black heels and then accepted Wren's hand to help me out of the front door in my heels.
The house was only down the road and so we were walking and then both staying in my bedroom afterwards, I had checked with Danielle and promised her that we were not doing anything "adult like" and so she trusted me and accepted. "I'm sorry for upsetting you in there," Wren said to me quietly.
"It's okay," I smiled up at him. "I'm sorry for snapping, I know you're just trying to help. When I get anxious I get snappy and I know that getting out and about is good for my mental health, I just hate doing it and getting myself worked up," I shrugged it off.
