"You guys are still not talking?" H asked as she pulled a dress from the rack a examined it.

"No, you ask literally every day" she really has asked me every day since the incident.

"It's been two weeks Al" she pointed out the obvious, something she loves to do every day.

"I know. How's this one?" I pulled out a black shimmering blouse and she hummed in approval, it really was pretty and I'd look hot in it.

"You need to talk to her" she insisted, again, bloody hell.

"My black high waisted pants will be nice with this? Like the ones that are wider towards the bottom" I asked and she nodded again, I knew her mind was still on the topic I so desperately tried to avoid.

"If all my friends found me when a guy was fucking me I'd want him to at least talk to me after that" she kept on pushing, unbelievable.

"You are not her friends, and we were not fucking, I didn't lose myself that much" I insisted.

"Oh you know what I mean, also I am her friend" her tone was the same tone my mother has when she tells me 'but I told you so'.

"You only saw the end of the interaction, everything before that was so different, she was the one in control" I finally gave her a detail, I just wanted to be left alone for Christ's sake.

"What?" She did not believe me.

"Yes, now shut up and try your dress on already, the new years party is tomorrow" I pleaded, trying to knock some sense into her.

"It's a winter ball" she insisted and I rolled my eyes.

"Whatever the hell it is I really don't fucking care, just try on the damn dress so you can stop asking me about Emily" I was desperate, my rudeness was purely a result of the desperation.

She rolled her eyes and finally got inside the cabin, I could finally have a moment of peace.

"I think I like it" she spoke from the cabin, then opened the curtain for me to see.

"Yes it's beautiful" it really was a beautiful peach colored dress with thin straps and a high slit on the right side of the skirt, the back was open with crisscrossed straps keeping the dress together.

"I'll pay for everything while you get dressed" I stayed firmly, not giving her a chance to deny the offer.

She handed me the dress and I went to the cash register, I paid for our things and by the time I was done she had already changed and stood next to me, the silence lasted barely seconds.

"You know she's going with Zach right?" She spoke of Emily, AGAIN, why won't she just shut the hell up.

"I don't give a flying fuck"

"Liar" she was right, I was lying, but I just wanted her to shut up already.

"She should be going with you Aly" she continued.

"No she shouldn't" was this conversation ever gonna be over.

"Alex" her tone again resembled my mother's.

"What do you want from me?" I was getting mad, so fucking mad. "For the last two weeks you've been talking about her, not even one of our conversations not about her, even though I asked a million times NOT to talk about her. I don't talk to her because I don't know what to say to her, I don't even know how to exist in the same room as her so I'm skipping most classes. But whenever we are in class together it's pure torture because my eyes can't seem so find something to look at other than her but I know that if I'll look at her I will cry, or worse, she will cry. So no, I don't want to talk to her, or talk about her, or hearing that she's going to the ball with that fucking idiot. Just let it go for fuck's sake!" I was yelling so loud that everyone around the mall looked at us, I was once again the star of the show. When it happens in school I don't mind it but I hated when it happened outside of school, I just wanted to be normal sometimes.
