The group leaves the barbershop.
"Now, the clothes" Scarlett rubbed her chin
Lou looks down at his shredded tux. "Yeah..could use a new one"
"That's nice..LLLL-"
"Lou"
"Lou, but we look at tuxedos as..too fancy for everyday clothes, if people seeing ya wear that
they'll think ya went to the prom or some fancy ball" Melanie explained to Lou
"Really? But-"
"Change out of the suit or people will be giving ya confused and weirded-out looks" Olivia spoke up.
Lou sneered at Olivia
"P-please?"
"I'm sure there's a selection of outfits that ya might like!" Melanie smiled
"...fine"
"Better then a shredded tux that looked like that it lost a fight to a washin-" Olivia's sentence trailed off to silence from Lou giving her a big glare.
Ellen shook her head at Olivia gesturing her to quiet about what happened to the tux.
Olivia gestured her mouth to zip it then looks away from Lou.
~~~~~~clothing store for youth~~~~~~
Ellen was in the fitting room waiting for Lou to come out with the new clothes he chose.
Silence..till it was broken from noise of sniffling
"Lou? Is everything ok?" Ellen stood up and head to Lou's changing room. She knocks on the door.
"Lou? Are ya decent?..will ya have your clothes on?"
"yeah.."
"Unlock the door, please?"
Click
Ellen softly opens the door to Lou turning back around, sighing.
"Are ya going to be alright?"
"Ellen?...you ever felt that you had it all..but lost it all because of your behavior...?"
"..oh..uhm..I'm sorry... but I d-don't.."
Lou looked back at Ellen then sat down at the closest chair. Ellen walked up to him and kneel down to one knee to his level
"But I heard about..fresh starts"
"I helped them.. but I..." He started to feel a pathetic emotion at the pit of his stomach.
"your terrible attitude?" Ellen slightly tilted her head at Lou.
Lou shrugged in response mumbling to himself while looking away.
"It won't hurt..to change your ways.."
Lou stared back at Ellen from hearing what she told him.
"...."
".....you look g-good in the new outfit you're wearing" Ellen softly smiles at Lou.
Lou cracks a small smile and said "thanks, dollface"
~~~~~ back at the town square~~~~~
Lou's new outfit was dark jeans, black vest jacket with purple matching buttons with a white under long sleeve collared shirt and black slip on shoes and socks.
"Ok! ever at least heard of a haunted hotel Lou?" Melanie piped up happily to him.
Lou just shrugged is shoulders in response
