We walked through the halls,staring at the different goods on display in each shop, wondering which one to enter first. Some people walking passed us stared, I can't really blame them. When you have three gorgeous ladies walking side by side what do you expect? "I think I've lost my touch,I can't decide which one to enter" Gera sighs,"let's let the fashion designer take over" I smirk staring at Sarah. "Don't think for a second I don't know what you're doing" Sarah rolls her eyes but pulled us into a shop. "Welcome" the sales attendant smiles, approaching us,"don't worry ma'am,we don't need a guide" Gera says nicely and the lady smiled. Gera was the nicest one among us. "So how is work Sarah?" I asked, scanning through the dresses on display, "fucking awful,dad says I should just quit but I'm like,no I want to prove I can do this " she sighs, pulling out a dress,then with a frown placing it back. "To be completely honest,I want your parents,my dad won't necessarily hate me for quitting my job but that man can't hide his emotions to save his life and I know he'll be disappointed" I pout. "Your job can't be that bad,you said you were loving it?" Gera stops to stare at me. "Yes I am, but my boss is a dick," "his a Kwin get over it" Sarah chuckles,like being a rich elite gave you the right to treat people rudely. Taking out a black gown from the hanger,Sarah faced me again. "That doesn't necessarily mean they should treat people like shit," I tell her with a grumble, "big words Lizzy, I thought we agreed no boys talk today". "Oh! Sorry Gera" I gave her a sheepish grin, "forgiven" she shrugs. "I should try this on" Sarah raised the black gown for us to see,"I think it would look nice on me what do you guys think?" "To be honest Sarah black isn't your color it's Gera's ,she's the pale one here". "Okay try it on the " Sarah shoved the dress into Gera's hand,"I don't wear shit like this it's too short" Gera holds the dress to her form with a pout. "Maybe that's why Matt hasn't banged you yet,tomboy" I teased. She rolls her eyes but I could see her considering my words sarah must have seen it too. "She's joking Gera every guy wants to bang a red headed," "I know it's just... " She strails off,"no boy talk remember" I gave her a small smile. A blue lace gown called upon me from the rack,before I knew it I was running my hand through the transparent material. It had a small cloth covering the privates but the rest were bare. "This is definitely club material and I'm so getting it" I pulled it down to show them. " It's beautiful,just don't let your father see it" Sarah shrugs searching for something else to try on,"let's go find the changing room together" Gera says,still holding the black gown. "Sure, Sarah will you be okay alone?" "yeah whatever" she waves us off staring at a gold sleeveless dress. I rolled my eyes while Gera chuckles pulling me away, in the direction of the changing room I hoped.
Endless hours of shopping later and we were seating in a food court with thousands of shopping bags by our feet. "I can't move, everywhere hurts" I groan,"we should definitely cancel beach plans" I add with a pout,"I hate to say this but I totally agree" Gera groans, leaning back into her seat. Sarah sighs but nods in agreement,then we sat in silence stealing glances at each other. "We've being distant lately" Sarah speaks up,I hate to admit it but it's true,we've all being focus on our own lives. "We promised this won't happen" Gera says,"that's why we all took this one year break together" she adds. "I think we made a rash decision concerning this break and I know it's my fault" Sarah sighs. "No one is pointing fingers Sarah" Gera pats her hands that were folded on the table. I smiled at the love,we weren't the most emotional pair so this discussion was a big deal. "I miss sleepovers and movie nights" I voiced out,"me too" they chorused. "If being an adult means losing my friends then I'm not in" Gera groans childishly and I chuckled,"we can make this work Gera,we just need to form a routine" I say deep in thoughts. "I wish it was that simple Lizzy," Sarah frowns, "nothing in our lives has ever being simple as opposed to popular believes,we can make this work" my voice wavers towards the end. "I feel like crying but they're alot of people here and their staring" Sarah says looking around and I do the same sighing. You will think I'm exaggerating but the stares can be unnerving,dad says get use to it and I just have to. I know I've being painting my family perfect but we're not. We don't have family time unless during dinner,I hardly have a mother and daughter chat with my mom because she believes I'm happy. Maybe I am but I highly doubt that,I'm not in the place I'm meant to be at 18. Nothing makes me feel alive, helping others is more of a distraction than a passion. I will gladly make a living out of it but I don't love it as I should. Sarah is crazy about clothes and designs you can see it makes her really happy,Gera has always being leaning more on the boyish side aspiring to be a mathematician. But what about me? Nothing, nothing gives me that motivation to get up everyday and it's really depressing when I think about it. "Hey Liz you okay?" Sarah pats my arms softly with a concerned look on her face same goes for Gera. "Yah I'm fine why?" I throw in alittle chuckle for dramatics,"you were crying". "I was?!" I wiped my cheeks to indeed find them moist,"umm... something must have gotten into my eyes" I maintained eye contact. It's the first skill in making people believe you're telling the truth,I might not lie often but that doesn't mean I don't know how to. "Okay if you say so" Gera drops it with a sigh, "ofcourse I am so what's the plan?" I divert to another topic,another thing I'm a pro at. "Let's revisit this topic again,it's almost dinner time" Sarah looks down at her watch. "You're right" I pushed my chair back standing up,"we still have to go back to my place so you guys can get your cars" Gera adds. We reached down for our bags before cat walking out of the food court, Gera's car wasn't parked far away from the entrance thankfully. After loading the boot,we climbed in and Gera turned on the music to drown the tense silence.
♥️♥️♥️I hope it's not too sappy,I admit it sounds like your typical rich girl crisis and I'm sorry but it gets better, swears.
