Saving Conner

Chapter 11

Sitting on my bed praying for a text that doesn't seem to be coming is bumming me out. I mean I know some days he isn't able to call or text, but I really just want someone to talk to right now and Conner is the only one I have right now.

"Knock knock." Someone said through the cracked door. "Mind if I come in?"

"No I don't mind." I said scrolling through my phone. I didn't even care to look up and see who it was.

"Want to go with me to pick out an outfit for Parker's party."

"Oh hey, you don't sound like yourself, but yes just let me slip my shoes on.

"Yeah I haven't been feeling like myself lately."

"What's wrong?" Kenzie and I have never been that close. We talk here and there when she is over and from what I know of her she is extremely nice.

"Just a fight with Parker is all. Nothing to really worry about though. I just need some girl time and your the only girl I know." She said looking at her phone. "Oh I don't mean that in a bad way. I just don't have any girl friends."

"None taken, it is cool. I need to get out of the house anyways."

When we got to Gordmans the walk into the store was awkward. We haven't said a word to each other since we was in my room.

"So are you planning on going to Parker's party?" Kenzie said breaking the silence.

"Yeah I'm just not looking forward to seeing Lexie there."

"Oh thank goodness I'm not the only one. I literally hate her, but don't worry she won't cause any problems because it's my boyfriends party and I'll kick her out."

I coulnd't help but smile. Nothing brings two girls closer together then hating the same girl.

"So do you plan on wearing shorts or a dress? You looked really pretty in that dressyou wore last time."

"Thanks, but dresses aren't really my thing. So I think I'm going to go with shorts."

"Suit yourself, but I'm trying on this." Kenzie said while grabbing pink dress off the rack.

I borrowsed through the shorts section before finding an outfit. It was on a pink manicin and grabbed my attention. A white crop top that formed in a V line at the bottom and a pair of washed out blue jean shorts with small holes. It was so simply yet so cute.

I walked to the changing room and tried it on. I never imagened stepping out of my comfort zone would feel so right. I'm use to a T-shirt and sweat pants thing, but now I question myself on why I never had the confidence to wear something like this.

*Ping* I heard my iphone go off.

What's up beautiful?- Conner

Shopping with kenzie for the spring break bash.

I don't get girls

Why??

You all go shopping for an outfit to wear for one night. Wouldn't it be so much easy to just pull something out of your closet?

Yes but no guy has ever said you would look better in sweats and no make-up on then like that.

Well they have now.. you would look better in sweats and no make-up. ;)

Nice try but I'm not wearing that to a party.

Suit yourself. I'm going to call in a hour. Bye babe

Not sure if I should take that as a compliment or not but knowng Conner he didn't mean it in a bad way. He just wants to cheer me up.

"Alright step out together in three seconds." Kenzie said in the dressing room in front of me. "1...2...3..." The doors flung open revealing a gorgous dress.

"Woah you look gorgous."

"Kenzie please have you seen yourself? You look great."

We both looked in the big mirror. "Honestly I think we'll be the hottest girls at the party." Kenzie said checking out her butt.

"I'm picking you up the day before the party to get our nails done don't make plans." Kenzie said when we pulled up at my house.

"How could I make plans when you made them for me." I couldn't help but smile through out all the crazy drama in my life Conner was the only one worth it and now I have Kenzie.

Walking up stairs I couldn't wait for it to be friday. The day Conner will be back here with me.
