Shopping days

We leave for Paris in two days so I'm spending the entire day packing bags and me and Teresa are going to go shopping later for anything else we might need. I pack almost my entire dresser. It is an entire week! I pack a few phone chargers and my I pad. I'm bringing my phone on the plane so I put it in a separate bag. I stop dead in my tracks. I completely forgot. I'm deathly afraid of planes. It didn't hit me I would be going on one right until right now. My parents are the only ones That no why. I decided I can't tell my friends. That would ruin their trip. I can't be selfish. This is about all of us. Not just me.

I text Teresa and she's at my house in five minutes. She does live in my neighborhood so I guess it doesn't surprise me she can come over so quickly.

My mom drops us off at the mall. I won't be able to get my drivers license until next year so until then my mom will have to drive me everywhere.

We start with bathing suit shopping. Most of my scars have healed. Other than my most recent ones. Small but deep scars across my wrists, a deep scars across my head but that is covered by my hair and a long scar covering my left shoulder and my back. It's hardly noticeable now it's just a thin scar that only if you knew about me you would notice. I first try on a black bikini and Teresa try's on a pink one. We walk out of the dressing room to show each other. Teresa smiles. Her smile fades when she touches my scar on my back which is now visible.

"It's been so long." She says. "When do you think they will heal?" She asks.

I shake my head. "I don't know if they will ever heal." I will be stuck with this dark memory forever.

I try on a few more. I end up buying a lime green bikini and a light blue two piece bathing suit. Teresa buys the same! #TWINSIES!

I buy a cute pair of sun glasses and a pair of shorts and a few tank tops and t-shirts. My mom picks us up and drops Teresa off at her house.

I put all my new stuff in my suitcase. This is going to be a fun week but I'm not sure I can make it through the plane ride. I need to tell someone.
