Perfect (on hold)

Chapter 5

Today is Sunday, so I didn't have to go working - I usually have weekends for myself unless Mrs. Bailey asks me different.

I was eating, when I remembered how it was last night. Again and I don’t mean in the good way. I never thought that I will say that, but why I didn’t drink anything yesterday? Because then I could say now that I was drunk, that that was the problem or that I don’t remember anything…?

But… how I could forget yesterday? I couldn’t. Because I remember everything... I even repeated whole evening for thousand times yesterday before I fall asleep.

Who am I kidding? I was thinking about it the whole night. I couldn’t fall asleep no matter how much I wanted.

Ugh, why am I thinking about him again?

When I was thinking and zoned out like I always do, I heard loud knocking on my door. So I went to the door and opened them.

It was Mia.

˝Hello, sunshine.˝ Is that a smile? Who is this?

˝Wait..˝

She interrupted me: ˝How about the park? We could go there. Like…. When were we there for the last time?˝

˝Ok… who are you and what did you do to my best friend?˝ Mia was never a morning person. Trust me, before you wake her up, you lose lots of energy or just give up.

˝Oh, come on Emma… it is a good day.˝

˝Yeah… Speak for yourself.˝

˝Woke up with wrong foot?˝

˝How about you? Dreaming about your prince charming?˝

˝Ok, what´s wrong? And don’t tell me it´s nothing.˝

At first I didn’t want to tell her, because she was thrilled about all Aiden thing, but she was my best friend… so I told her.

˝Emma… you can´t say that you were happy about that party. So you probably said something bad... I don’t know…˝ I looked at her like ´you are kidding right? ´ so she came closer ˝Tell me you won´t do something bad Emma… Because I really like Aiden and you know I´m not really ready to be alone with him. And I like you by my side...˝

˝Ok, ok… I will try, but you owe me.˝

˝I love you, Em.˝

Then we went outside and been together almost all day. 

She left me about an hour ago and I finally came home. I had two hours left before Mia came back so I went in my bed. We were in all shops in that town and believe me, I was exhausted. I would never agree if somebody told me that someday I will get tired of shopping… um, until that day. I couldn’t feel legs and I even prayed for a bed before I even came home. It was crazy.

So I laid down and fell on my bed. I looked on my bedside table where was the bracelet old lady gave me. I took it and was looking at it. Why she gave me the bracelet?

Then I saw it. Something was written on the bracelet:

*Wish something*

Wish something? Huh?....Ok… I wish I would fall asleep and wake up with full of energy and without pain in my legs.

******************************************

I woke up hour and a half later… I felt great and ready for everything.

Can this be true? To wish something and then get it?

I didn’t know what to think about this, but I was sure of something – that I would think of this later, because I had to go under the shower and eat something before Mia came back.

So when Mia came she was ready for the party. Since I didn’t know what to do with myself – what to wear, what to do with my hair…. She helped me and when we were almost ready Mia´s phone started ringing.

It was Aiden and he called because they came in front of my apartment and were waiting for us.

So it was time to go. I looked myself in the mirror. Naturally, I have straight brown hair unless it´s raining outside. Then my hair becomes untameable and I really hate it. But that night, I decided to curl my hair.

When I was over, Mia didn’t let me to choose my dress or she didn’t let me wear the one I wanted to. She said that I am like a nun in that one and that I must to wear something else, something sexy. So she came up with idea to go home (she doesn’t live far away from me) and bring me her dress.

When she came back, she bring me one in red colour – my favourite. I tried it on and I could officially said that this dress was a lot different than that one and… if the first one was for nuns, that this one could be for prostitutes. Literally. But you know what? I didn’t care, because I knew something was more important.

He.

˝No matter what you are thinking when you are looking in the mirror… you are perfect!˝

 She took my hand and pulled me to the door. Then I saw my bracelet on the table just the second before I wanted to close the door. So I took it and go outside.

I wanted to call Mia and ask her if I am ok, when I looked up and saw her already standing with Aiden and Jacob… he was… amazing. Really… who could guessed that he can look so good in a dress?

 I mean.. um… he looks really terrible..

I was walking to them and he still didn’t see me.

And when I was almost there, he looked up at me and I got lost in his eyes… His hair… and his dress again… And all I could think of was how amazing he is.
