Amelia's POV

Thursday afternoon
A few hours ago the long and dreadful school day came to an end, thank god. Besides that I have to wait less than twenty minutes to see Tom and hang out with him again.

I knocked on my brother's door prior to opening it, peeking my head in just enough so that I saw him laying on his bed, "Hey Levi?"

"Yea Millie?"

"Uh is dad home?"

"Nope neither is mom, why?"

"Oh nothing, I'm going out so I'm just basing my outfit around that."

Levi looked up from his phone, "Who are you going out with?"

"Just a friend." I said before quickly making my escape by running out of his room and down the hall, back to the safety of my room. I shut my door and silently waited to hear if Levi had followed me. Thankfully he didn't.

I walked to my small closet and went through the limited options. I run my hand over different fabrics and dresses I owned. I picked up a yellow dress holding it up to my body, it's cute but I don't have shoes to match it with.

I threw it on my bed and picked up a red dress, it was too fancy for my liking.

Moments later I had picked up another dress and finally settled on it. I quickly put on the short blue dress that had three silver buttons at the top, I left the two top ones unbuttoned.

I paired the dress with a little pink purse I found at the back of my closet to hold my phone and some whites sneakers. The dress is way shorter than I remember, it stopped an inch or two above my mid-thigh but it didn't bother me that much. I looked in my mirror and felt decently confident.

I almost debated on changing due to me being slightly embarrassed about my stomach but I figured it didn't matter since it was only Tom. I knew he wouldn't say anything about it yet another part of me wanted to look as pretty as possible for him.

I sat on my bed, pulling out my phone I clicked on Tom's message. He had said for me to wear a bathing suit underneath my clothes, I instantly thought of one of my favourites that I  used to wear all the time when I swam more often.

I stood up off my bed and walked over to my closet again. I crouched down and rummaged through some clothes. After a few minutes I couldn't find it and I started getting agitated, Tom would be here soon and I didn't want to keep him waiting.

Just before I was about to give up looking I saw a box hidden under some clothes. I open it and low and behold my black dinosaur bathing suit. I mean sure it seems a bit childish but I don't mind.

After I finished getting ready entirely I admired my outfit for a few minutes, making sure I looked well put together.

I haven't seen my father since Monday night which is weird but also meant I didn't have any bruises to cover. My phone vibrated, causing me to pull it out once again and check it.

Tommy: I'm here baby, make sure you bring a jacket just in case.

Amelia: Okay sounds good I'll be out
in a minute!

I got up and walked to my closet, grabbing a lightweight jacket. I folded it in my arms and carried it as I made my way out of my bedroom. My pink purse hung on my right shoulder containing some chapstick, cash and my phone. 

I knocked on my brother's door once again before yelling, "Levi I'm leaving now so I'll see you later, I love you!"

"Love you more Millie!" I moved down the rest of the hallway, trudging down the steps as I began getting nervous.
