My friends are keeping me company most of the time since what happened to Benjamin. Today we decided to go downtown to do shopping for the Christmas Ball. I asked Rob whether he was going to the ball, and he said he will, which excites me even more.
He also said he would check his wardrobe because he thinks his clothes are dull. Benjamin did not bother me for these past few days now and I am so glad, I hope he really stop. I am at our doorway waiting for Missy when the mailman arrived, he saw me and approached me
"For Elizabeth Reed" he said, I nodded and he gave me a red envelope. I said my thanks and he went to the next door, I opened it and it is a Christmas Card that when you open it, it started to play the music, I frowned who knows Christmas Cards like this are still in existence I read the letter
My Elizabeth,
I know you hate me so much and I know what I did is something I will regret for the rest of my life. I will not get tired of asking forgiveness to you, and you will always be my baby girl. You should know that wherever I am my love for you doesn't change, I can't wait the day you will be so successful and I hope I can see that one day. Merry Christmas Eli, and you always take care
With much love,
Your Mother
I stared at the letter my mom gave to me, I don't know if I will believe in every words she said in the letter, how can I forgive her if all my life I had been raise with a lie? I took the letter and place it to the drawer.
I saw the letter my mom gave the day she left the house, I stared at it thinking if today is the right time to open it, but then I heard Missy's car so I closed the drawer and went out to meet my friends.
"So what look are we going to do for the ball?" Ash said as we drive through the mall
"I wanted to look gothic or something along that theme" Missy said
"Are you for real Missy? You always go to the princess vibe theme" Ash turned to me
"Hmm I don't know I think I wanted to do differently as well, it's been always ball gown" I brushed my fingers in my chin
"Yeah me too, but I am deciding if I go to the usual or be preppy" Ash waved her hands
We went to the first store but I really don't like anything from it, to be honest I can always borrow from Missy, but they both insist that we need a change of looks, since this may be our last Christmas ball together. On the second store I tried a few but there's nothing I really wanted.
"This is so hard" Ash complained, I rolled my eyes to her but agreed as well
"I swear if I can't choose any, I will still borrow from Missy" I said
"Ok girls this is the last store, so let's wish everybody good luck!" Missy said, Ash stopped us from entering and held our hands
"What?!" Missy and I both said
"Let's make a deal, we are going to look for our dresses separately, I mean we will not let each other see our dresses until the ball?" She looked at us like she have the greatest idea
"Absurd" Missy groaned
"Think about this maybe the reason we can't choose is because we have lots of ideas and critics to each others choice, so why not we choose what we want without asking any comments from each other?" She grinned at us
"Ok fine, deal" I finally said, because I really wanted to get this done
"Yeah whatever Ash" Missy waved her hands
