Sticking with you (bxb)

Chapter 31

Geo's pov.

"Yeah" I said while struggling to put my jacket on

"I'll go to the mall to get something for her"

Tomorrow is Alice's birthday and I'm going to get her a present but I have to say that I really suck on picking ones so I called Arthur to help me. He is way better on these kind of things

"So, what do you say? A perfume or something else like a cloth?" I asked as I took my home keys and headed for the door of my room

"I would say a cloth, like a sweatshirt or a shirt and I will go tomorrow to get her a perfume. What do you say?" he suggested and I stopped to think of it and then smiled

"Yes, I think it's a good idea. She will like both" I said happily and then I heard Arthur chuckling

"How are you doing?" I asked him after a few minutes. I felt kinda bad that this wasn't the first thing I asked but I had called him in a panic and didn't even let him say hello

"Good, I'm at home with Lisa. Our parents had gone out" he said simply and then without waiting for a response he asked me the same question

"Good, you know I'm heading to the mall. My mum is at work so I think I'm going to take the bus. Psychiatry sucks sometimes" I whimpered and Arthur hummed to show me he was agreeing

It's not that I don't love my mum's job. I really do and it seems very interesting. I am really happy that she gets to help as many people as she can but all this doesn't let me see her all the day so I think my behaviour is justified

"Sorry, I'm gonna close the phone because the bus is coming in a bit. Thanks again Arthur!" I thanked him after a little silence and in the end we greeted each other before both ending our calls. Luckily the bus station was close to my house so I didn't have to run and be worried if I could catch the bus or not

I got the money my mum left for me at the counter and got outside before closing the door. I ran to the bus station and after a few minutes I could recognize the bus from afar. It stopped in front of me, I got in and paid to get a ticket from the driver. When I was done I moved behind to one of the many empty spaces. There weren't many people, only a woman with her child, a guy a bit older than me and an old woman. I sighed while I was looking around before deciding to put my headphones on so I could listen to some music and relax. I looked outside the window in order to see the mall when we reach there

It wasn't long before the bus stopped at the front entrance of the mall. I walked out, taking off my headphones and while the bus started I got inside. As on the bus, there were not as many people as on other days. Better for me, it will be easier to look for something good with peace and quiet. I looked around me, searching for the right shops to do my shopping

I found a few that I assumed would have some nice clothes. I went to all of them searching for anything Alice might like. I found some good pieces of clothes for her but for me too. Especially in one specific shop. I liked all of their clothes so I found a perfect sweatshirt with all the colours Alice liked. It was quite colourful. As I took it in my hands and was ready to go to the cashier and pay for it something caught my eye

It was a shirt the same color as my eyes. I walked toward there and admired it a bit. I looked at the number. It was big to me but I loved these kinds of clothes anyway. I was glad that my mum had left me quite some money because I couldn't leave it here. Well, yes I have a strange addiction to clothes

I smiled and took it with me to the store's testing rooms. I searched for it a bit and after a few seconds I found it. I went into one of the rooms and hung up Alice's cloth to one of the hangers. I took off my jacket and t-shirt and wore the shirt that I was still holding in my hands. While I was changing I heard someone outside. I really hope he wouldn't just burst inside and ask if someone is here first. Luckily he didn't do anything. He might have found some other testing room
