Chapter 16

                           Aurora

I look through my closet for an outfit but give up finding one when I can't. I frown and sit on my exhausted from walking and searching through my closet.

My phone begin to ring, I look around and remember I left it in my bag. On the other side of the room. I get up and grab my bag searching for my phone. I rarely use it only to text Alex and Hu. My brothers know I don't use it but try to get me to.

I se that Alex is FaceTiming, my lips turn upward into a smile as I answer the phone. I walk over to my bed and sit down.

"Hey Rora."

"Hi Alexx." I say dragging out the X.

"I'm calling because I already know you need help picking out an outfit." How did he know? But I really did, I was in desperate need.

"I actually do need help. I have nothing to wear." He smiles through the phone.

"I saw your brother Andres today and handed him a bag, I specifically told him not to open it. Has he given it to you?" A bag? What bag?

"Judging by your face he hasn't I see." As if right on cue Andres barges into my room, I nearly fall off my bed.

"I forgot to give you this after school R," He says. I look at him and he hands me a bag. A big bag. "And for your information that shit was heavy! I had to carry it all day thanks to your friend!"

"Language Dres." I scold him for the third time today. I hear Alex laugh, Andres rolls his eyes and walks out the room. He does close my door though.

The bag was actually heavy, it's like Alex packed me millions of clothes. It's like he's filled it up like Santa's sack.

I wonder if he'll come give me presents this year.

"Honey Santa's not real." I gasp.

"B-but my mama always said he was. He even came to see me at my house when I was 10! We made cookies together.." He laughs and nods his head once his laughter dies down.

"It probably was someone they paid to act like him." I frown. They lied to me?

"Don't take it to personal, it's what parents say to kids to make them be good throughout the year." I nod my head slowly.

"S-so he was never real?" I ask. Alex nods his head yes.

"Now enough about Santa. Check the bag, I know you like dresses. More specifically light dresses, so I bought you some to choose from. But then I went a bit over board- all the dresses were so cutee!" I giggle, he went way over. But he thought about me and it made me happy.

"Now pick one and send me which one you got, I got to go pick up my little brother from practice."

"Bye Alex and thank you so much, this means a lot to me.

"Anything for you Rora, now have a good time and tell me everything tomorrow right when you wake up."

I nod and I wait till he hangs up. I find it rude to be the first to hang up, what if the other person wasn't done talking?

I look through the bag looking for a dress. All of them were so beautiful it was hard to choose. That was until my eyes landed on a specific. It was a beautiful dark pink right dress, when I tried it on it fit my body so well.

I fell in love with it right then and there. It was beautiful. It was short but not to shot a little bit longer then mid thigh. It was just right. The middle was v-shaped, it showed a little to much but it wasn't much. I really didn't want to take off the dress, it was a beauty.
