Alycia's POV

Today is Scarlet's friendsmas celebration party with a number of her friends, I'm not really sure the exact number and the exact people coming but she said it isn't much. What I do know is the Olsen's are coming, meaning, Lizzie is also coming and I have been warned by Scarlett that Robbie will also be tagging along. 

I know that Scarlett, the twins, and a few of our other friends are worried about me and my achy heart but I assured them that I'm doing well. I mean, I am technically doing better, the few weeks of no contact with Lizzie did help. My no contact with her wasn't enough for my feelings for her to disappear but at least I'm not having a mental breakdown about it that often.  

Speaking of Lizzie, she's been in town for some time now and she's been over to see Scarlett and her family and even though I have been staying with Scarlett, I haven't seen her yet. That's because I've had a few more work things that I had to attend to and while I was working that's when she visited them, therefore tonight is my first night seeing her. 

I'm not really sure where her head is at, I'm not sure if she took what Scarlett told her and has reflected about it or if it had opened up anything in her head. I doubt it though, I heard she's basking in the newly engaged feeling which is totally understandable. I'd probably have to apologize for not being there for her, especially after she reaches a new exciting chapter in her life. I hope she understands my reasoning one day and hopefully forgives me for my lack of presence. 

Anyways, I'm currently going through some outfit choices for tonight and I'm contemplating if I should wear pants or a dress. People should start arriving in about 30 minutes and I've gotten my makeup and hair done, I thankfully only need to figure out what to wear but that's seeming like the most difficult part of this whole process. 

"Ugh," I groan throwing myself on my bed. A knock startles me, "come in," I grumble out and Scarlett walks in wearing a beautiful dress with an amused look on her face. 

"You look like you're having trouble," Scarlett teases as she makes her way towards me. "Really? I didn't think it was that obvious," I tell her before platonically checking her out, "you look beautiful Scar." 

"Thank you bestie," She smiles and sits beside my legs and taps my knee, "come on, get up and get dressed." 

"Ugh, I don't even know what to wear. I'm trying to decide between a dress or a pantsuit type of outfit," I complain to her and she nods in understanding. "Okay, show me your options in both category and let's see what catches my eye," she teases and I chuckle as I sit showing her the options I had. 

"Oh okay, I'm kinda in love with that floral tube top and pants set as well as the polka dot dress."

"Scarlett that's not helping," I whine holding the two choices up. "Hey, at least I narrowed it down to only two choices," she concludes and keeps darting her eyes between the two outfit choices. 

"Hmm, I think you should wear the polka dot dress. I really like it, but you definitely have to wear that floral set one day. I can already tell you'd look amazing in it," I smile at her. "Thank you bestie. Okay great! The dress it is," I announce while I throw the pant set on the bed and take the dress into the ensuite bathroom to get changed. 

The doorbell goes off and I hear Scarlett get up, "seems like the guests are arriving. I'll see you downstairs in a bit, yeah?" 

"Yeah, I'll see you in a bit!" I yell at her as I get myself in the dress and I hear her leave my room. I look into the room and adjust the dress with some double-sided tape so I don't accidentally have a nip slip.
