Not Gone

Chapter 19

Someone covered my mouth almost instantly. I tried to bite the person's hand but someone pushed me onto the bed without hitting my broken arm.

"Shut up!" a familiar voice whispered loudly.

As the lights turned on I could see I was in front of Alissa, Emily and Vanessa.

"What the hell?" I almost yelled.

"Shut up!" Emily said as she came over and sat on the bed next to me. "It's Friday idiot"

"And that means you can come break into my house at like 2 in the morning?"

"That's exactly what it means." Vanessa said going over to my closet."So about this date tomorrow, what do you want to wear? Also where are you guys going?"

"What date?" I asked.

"You and Austin have a date at seven to some party. It's a formal party though, like for a business." Alissa said going over to help Vanessa in the walk-in closet.

"Look, I love that you guys want to help me but can't we just wait till morning?" I asked standing up.

"We do this every week!" Emily said loudly.

"Oh" I whispered.

"Are you sure you are okay Britney?" Emily asked looking at me oddly.

"Ya. I'm fine." I said trying not to talk about it because I didn't know who the enemy was here. The only person I've told so far is Austin because he was my boyfriend.

"You've been acting really weird today." Emily stated.

"Ya. Like you walked the wrong way to your seat, you didn't remember that we get together every Friday night and you kept only saying Ya." Vanessa added. I walked over to the closet hoping they would just drop the topic.

"It was last night that made me a little off." I said remembering what Austin had said this morning.

"The party?" Alissa asked.

"Ya"

"I don't believe you." Emily said getting off the bed. She closed the window that they used to get in here.

"Believe whatever you want, but I'm just telling you the truth." I said

"OK! Let's pick out a dress!" Vanessa said obviously trying to change the topic.

I looked through all the dresses, most of them were expensive designer that my mother would probably never let me buy me.

"Ooooo! This one is cute!" Alissa said holding up and orange dress that was strapless and had a huge bow on the back.

"No, she is going to a dressy dinner. That's more of a fancy brunch." Alissa answered for me as she looked through the dresses.

"Britney, do you like this dress!" Emily asked.

"Umm, I don't think that's the kind of dress for a dinner party." I answered. Emily held up a dress that had the whole bodice covered in rhinestones. The skirt of the dress was fluffy, purple and it was extremely short it would probably barely cover my butt.

"I was asking whether you liked it or not because of you don't, I want it." Emily said holding it up.

"You can have it." I said laughing.

"I FOUND IT!" Alissa exclaimed throwing a dress at me.

"SHHHHH!" we all said.

"Sorry."

The dress I was now holding was mint green and absolutely gorgeous. It had a of rhinestones above my waists, kind of like a belt. The bottom was ruffled but not too short.

"I love this!" I said getting excited "It's perfect!"
