HER REVENGE

Chapter Eleven

It has officially been a week since I last saw Joshua or anyone for that matter , I spent every day hauled up in the room under the sheets just thinking , and occasionally Melinda would bring me food before making sure I took my medication and letting me get some rest .
Amber had come up a few times to check up on me as well but I rarely responded so she would leave after a while.
It was now 3p.m on a Saturday and I was still in bed , Doctor Denzo canceled our meeting today because her son had an accident. When all of a sudden the door opened again, no doubt it's Amber to ask how I've been , the person sits on the bed and I hear a sigh before the sheet is ripped from my hands.
"Hey!" I cried in protest and looked at the person , and I'm immediately taken aback as it's Joshua . He hasn't visited me none at all this week and I know it's because I disappointed him, the main reason I refused to leave the room because I couldn't face him .
"Get up," he said or more like demanded, but I only shook my head.
"Get up Clary," he said once again.
"Are you mad at me ?" I asked him my voice sounding weak.
"Mad? No Clary I'm disappointed but not with you , but instead myself I should've seen that you were hiding something, but I was too oblivious, " he said mentally cursing himself.
"No Josh it's not your fault, I just I don't know , I guess it started a few years ago when you stopped writing to me and -"
"What ? I never stopped writing, you stopped writing," he interjected and that's when I realized Melinda and Antonio.
"It's okay it doesn't matter it's gone now," I tell him to which he nods and pull me into a hug , thank god he's not angry at me anymore.
"Oh god go get a shower and wash your hair it stinks," he says scrunching his nose making me laugh and playfully hit him.
"But for real though , get up and get a shower wash your hair I'll get my blow dryer and we are going shopping you need clothes, shoes and some accessories and lets not forget a fucking phone," he says pulling my arm and out of the bed , reluctantly I got up , grabbed a jeans pants and a sweatshirt , alongside underwear and head into the bathroom. Taking a quick peek in the mirror and let's just say I look like shit, my hair was all over the place my clothes was wrinkled , I had big black eye bags, dried tear stains along my cheeks and there was a trail of drool? Along my mouth . I quickly remove my clothes and step into the shower , letting the water run along my skin finally waking me .
Then I squeezed the shampoo in my hands and rub it into my hair , scrubbing to get all the dirt out .
After finishing my bath I got dressed and brushed my teeth , and this time I looked fresh . I walk out into the room and see Joshua on his phone and the blow dryer by his side , so I grab it and quickly blow out my hair . Then I put it in rake my hands through it to try to tame it .
"Okay I'm ready," I tell him which caught his attention as he pushed his phone into his back pocket and place his hand over my shoulder before leading the way out the door and down the stairs.
"Okay so we are going to the mall and well mom gave me this card to give you and so-"
"I don't want it," I tell him before he finishes , they won't win me over with money and I won't spend their money I'll get a job.
"Ok fine but I'll pay for your stuff," he says and when I went to decline he spoke again.
"It's my money I have a job and I have a few thousand dollars saved up , other than the card mom and dad gave me ," he said to which I agreed,
"But I'll pay you back as soon as I get a job," I tell him to which he nods . We soon reach his car and I enter and he enters and start off down the road. Turning the radio on and some R&B's were playing .
Soon we reached the mall and let's just say it's been so long since I last went to a mall that I forgot how big it is.
"Okay let's go , where to first?" Joshua asked me as we enter inside the building I shrug my shoulder and at the same time his phone rang.
"Yo what's up?" He said into the phone, pausing to listen to the person on the other line.
"No dude I'm at the mall with Clary , bur I'll be home a bit late,"
Another pause.
"Wait let me ask her first, "
"Hey Clary would you mind if a few of the guys tagged along ?"
"Oh no it's fine, " I reply.
"Yeah she says it's fine ,"
Another pause.
"Okay then meet you guys at the food mart when you get here just text me ," he says and hangs up the phone , placing it back into his pocket .
"Okay where to?" He asks,
"How about forever 21?" I say to which he nods and lead the way to the store. Soon we reach and we start looking around I went to start picking up clothes when Josh stopped me .
"Clary , pick clothes thst you like and not just because they cover your scars, you're beautiful either way," he said before walking off and that's when I decided, starting today I will no longer hide my scars instead I'll embrace them and let the world know I've been overcoming my demons.
So I quickly start grabbing blouses and for once they were all short sleeved and crop tops.
I then picked up a few denim jeans and high waisted shorts. And also some cute casual dresses.
After that Joshua paid for the stuff I got my bag and we exited the store and I pulled him into another, then another and so forth.
"For fucks sake Clary please stop my legs are killing me ," Joshua complained for the fifth time. Sighing I turn to him .
"Fine I'm getting thirsty anyways," I tell him . He does a small happy dance and we make our way to the food mart where I catch sight of Elijah, Dustin, Justin, Ross and Jermaine. Great he's here, mentally rolling my eyes. We make our way over to them and sit down at the desk they were at .
"Sup guys," Joshua said making his presence known but I simply just made my way to the next available seat which apparently was beside Jermaine. Just my fucking luck.
"Were you guys buying the entire fucking mall or something?" Jermaine asks.
"No I just don't have anything since I left them all in the ho- in Switzerland," I quickly correct myself. Damn that was close . He looks at me for a while before nodding .
"Ooh Clary while you were busy I got you a phone , look ," at this everyone turn to look at me with confusion.
"You don't have a phone?" Jermaine asks yet again making me sigh.
"No Jermaine, I lost mine and so Josh got me a new one ," I tell him taking the phone from Joshua . Even though it's been a while since I've had a phone I still knew how to operate one so I checked the contacts to realize Josh added his number.
"Wait let me add my number ," Elijah shouted from across the table causing a few heads to turn in our direction.
"Me too,"
"I wanna add my number as well," Justin and Dustin also followed suite as the three took my phone and added their number , I hear a scoff beside me but I simply ignlre it with a roll of my eyes.
"Here I already texted myself, " Elijah says handing me the phone .
"Oh ok, well would anyone else like to add their number to the phone ?" I ask sarcastically to which , Ross sighs and grabs the phone from my hand .
"I might need to reach Joshua," was his excuse , and then he handed me back the phone . With that we all ordered something to eat , me ordering a sandwich, I've realized that over the coarse of the week I've started to eat a bit more than usual.
After we finished eating I thought they were going to head home but no, They all started leading me through the mall once again. Well here we go.
