Saving Aliyah

37

-Aliyah Cameron-

Alastair and I have been engaged for six months already, ever since then we've planned a lot, today was dressing shopping, I was debating on having Carter's girlfriend be my maid of honor, or Claire.

I asked Selena to be in my wedding, even though muffin doesn't real agree with it, I want to try and get her and I on good terms.

I'm not sure why she doesn't like me, but I'm hoping this could fix it.

I look through the dresses as the lady who owns the shop walks us through the wedding dresses "Their all so pretty." I say and Chloe hummed "I can't believe you're getting married before me!" She smiles and I shrugged.

I knew she wanted to be married to Carter, but he told me he didn't have enough money for that yet, I understood what he meant by that.

Chloe helps me zip the dress to show everyone it, I really liked it, there were flowers on it, and the corset top was my favorite.

She helps me walk out of the room and I stare at it "How do you feel?" Claire asks me and I shrugged "I like it."

"You look like you're going to flash everyone." Selena says, I turn around and stare at her with wide eyes "Really?" I asked, she shrugged "Don't worry, I'm sure Alastair would love it." She says "Selena, shut your bitch ass up." Claire says before looking at me "You look beautiful, and Alastair shouldn't have a say in what dress you get." Claire says, Selena rolls her eyes.

"It was a compliment." She tells us, Claire scoffed "How would you know what that is? You don't get any." Claire says crossing her arms sitting back in her seat, Selena's mouth parts as she stares at Claire.

Chloe clears her throat "I agree with Claire, you look beautiful in it." She smiles, but now I have my doubts about the dress, was Selena telling the truth that I was going to..flash everyone?

"Something's holding you back?" Chloe asked and I nod "I hope it's not expensive.." I say, I knew Alastair told me I could use his card for today, but I felt bad.

"Aliyah, don't worry, Alastair says he'll pay for it." Claire said "Yeah, you probably just want to spend-" Selena gets caught off by Claire "Can someone please uninvite this bitch?" She says, I swallow the lump in my throat "I want to get out of the dress." I say feeling my chest close.

Chloe nods "Okay, do you want-" I cut her off "Can I just please get out of this dress, now." I say feeling myself getting overwhelmed, Chloe nods and we go back to the dressing room.

She helps me out of the dress and walks out, I frantically change into my clothes before sneaking a peek at the dress price.

Twelve thousand. There was no way I'd allow Alastair to waste that much money on me. Not on a piece of frabric.

I walk out of the room, Claire looks at me "Where's the dress?" She asked, I shook my head "It's too much money." I say, she frowned.

"Well, I guess I'll pay for it." Selena says after a moment of silence "Wh-What?" I say, she shrugged "You like it, Alastair likes you, just get it." She says.

I stare at her, my eyes moving to Claire who's looking at Selena cautiously. I nod my head slowly, walking back to the dressing room and getting the dress.

Claire and I are now home, when we walk in we're welcomed with arguing "You're not being the flower girl, Leo." Alastair grits "Why not, I'd be amazing." He claimed, I sit by Alastair "Hey, sweetheart." He says wrapping her arm around my waist "Hi, muffin." I smiled
