Chapter 54: 4 moms and a aunt

-Rose pov-
"Anyone else find it odd we are alone today?" I look at everyone else confused "I mean..we never get to be home alone!"

"I wish we could capitalize on it but we have shopping to do" I groan and Debbie smacks my arm "I'll group up with Debbie and Janine takes Rose"

"Now hold on just a minute" We all look at Janine confused "Rose and I always get put into a group. Why can't it be Debbie and me?"

"Well" Mary is silent for a minute then sighs "Fine! You win! I will team up with Rose today"

I try to hide the hurt "Alright!" I give a fake smile as I stand up "Let's go get our shopping on!"

-Dee pov-
I have been looking at this list for hours! It is like I expect it to talk to me. I sigh and put it back down. I knew this was gonna be harder this year.

I wanted to be apart of the family Christmas and family in general. I got this list from Madison a few days ago. Now I'm just stuck looking at the stupid piece of paper.

"It shouldn't be this hard" I pick up the paper again and stand up "I am at least going to try and find some of these things"

I walk to the front door and grab my keys. This is going to be a good trip. I will make it a good Christmas for the girls. If anything all I have to do is call for help.

I can do this.

-Time skip-Rose pov-
It has been a quiet trip to the mall today. Mary seems so angry I'm with her. Does she not like me that much? Do any of them really like me?

I thought we hit it off really well. I mean our first date was great! I thought our second one was great too. Apparently that was false hope on my side.

Maybe they just put up with me. They don't want to be the people who kick a hurt pup. But I am not sick anymore. So maybe I am getting closer to being left alone?

I don't want to be alone now. I enjoy being with these girls so much. They are the best people I have ever met. The best girlfriends too.

"Rose!" Was that Mary? "Rose watch out!"

"Huh?" I figure out when I smack into a sigh "Ow!"

"Jeez" Mary comes over and helps me up "Watch where you are going! You are just as bad as the kids sometimes"

"Why don't you just leave me then?!" Nice way to stay calm Rose "You obviously don't want to be with me....why do you not want to be with me? Was it something I did? Something I said? Is it just me? I can change Mary! Please! Tell me what I need to change so I do not lose you three! I-I can't lose you three!"

"What are you talking about?" Mary looks genuinely confused "We aren't going to leave you. Is that what you were in your head about?"

I sigh and nod "Yes" I look up and meet her eyes "You just seemed to hate having to be with me...I figured maybe..maybe you and the other girls don't really wanna be with me"

"That is not the reason why" Mary shakes her head with a smile "I do not like shopping with Janine cause she gets sidetracked by everything and honestly you do too"

"I do n" I think back to just running into the sign "Ok maybe I do"

"It has nothing to do with if I love you or not" Mary cups my face "I just enjoy getting shopping done because it means I have time for other things"

"Really?" She nods and I smile "Thank you"

"Now no more doubts" Mary gives me a chaste kiss "We have gifts to buy for the girls"
