His Heart Vacancy Girl

Beauty

Emily's POV:

I've decided tht I won't bring up last nights event because, well.. It would get a little akward and a lot more complicated. I woke the twins up and bathed them while the boys all slept soundly. Then I got them dressed ready for nursery and sent them to play quietly while I got ready. They were good kids, they did as they were told. They understood that we didn't have a lot of money and that's why they couldn't have what the other kids did. I really hated that I couldn't give them what they truely deserved but i'm working on it.

During my shower, thoughts ran through my mind. Mainly about my financial situation but also about my Jay and max situation. I know I need to figure out my true feelings because it is only fair on jay. The sooner I find out, the sooner e can either move on or make a move.

Once I was finished I stepped out and wrapped the towel around me. I dried myself an put my underwear on,by hen walked back into the guest room. I refuse to call it my room. I say infront of the dresser and began sorting my hair out- I didn't dry it because I was afraid of waking the boys up. I applied my make up then went to look for some clothes to wear. On my way to the wardrobe I caught sight of myself in the mirror. I did not like what I saw. It was one if those days where you just feel really ugly. I stared for a moment before something, or someone startled me.

"Crackin body" I looked to the door to see Tom stood there. I squealed then grabbed the duvet to cover myself up.

"How long have you been standing there?" I hissed.

"Not long. Why were you staring at yourself like you're ugly?"

"Because I am"

"No you're not. You're one of the best lookin girls I've ever seen."

"Yeah, sure" I replied sarcastically. "Please leave so I can get ready for school."

"Fine. But just know you really are beautiful no matter what people say" wow. Who knew Tom could be deep? His comment made me feel better though. I looked in the mirror again but this time I saw someone different. I saw an average size girl- not fat, not skinny. She had slightly wavy brown hair that came just below her shoulders and she had one thing I never thought I could have. She had confidence. I smiled. Today will be better than I thought.

I looked through my wardrobe and decided to wear a long turquoise maxi skirt with a white sleeveless blouse. I had my hair down and I curled it. I put in one of those upper arm bracelets that I've only ever worn once. I decided that I would wear some ankle boots to match as well. I was quite pleased with my appearance today. All because of that one little word Tom had said to me; he had called me 'beautiful' and for once I believed it.
