~ Start Of Day 18 ~ November 25 ~
I woke up around 11:00AM, walked out of my room and saw Alice cleaning up a bit around the apartment. I smiled at her, we talked for a bit then I walked outside to see Amethyst sitting down on the sidewalk with a sketchbook and a few pencils and erasers. I walked over to her.
Claire: Hi Amethyst! What are you doing?
Amethyst: I'm just making a sketch of the next dress I'm going to be sewing!
Claire: You sew?
Amethyst: Yeah! I also work as a model! Although most of the dresses and things I wear are things I make!
I stand there thinking for a bit then I speak again.
Claire: Could you teach me how to sew...? I was thinking of doing something and I wanted to get someone a gift like a dress, and I feel like it would be a better gift if I made it myself, but I don't know anything about sewing...or maybe I could draw a design and you could make it...I'm not sure...
Amethyst: Of course I can teach you! Might take at least a few hours though at most a few days. It's not something you learn easily. Unless you just want to draw it so I can make it, or we can do it together!
Claire: I think doing it together is the best option so I don't end up messing it up completely-
Amethyst: Alright! Let's head over to my place! I can teach you there!
We walked around for a bit and eventually got to Amethyst's House! It was a big house that was painted white and light blue with little red heart designs on it. We walked inside and she took me to a room that I could only assume was a sewing room with the amount of sewing machines, mannequins and fabric options there were there. Her house was clean and everything was organized in a specific way.
Amethyst: Alright! Let's get started!
Claire: Great! What do we start with?
Amethyst: Well...
She started showing me the basic things needed to start sewing and how to use them properly. I helped design a dress with the top being mainly blue and pink with cloud and rainbow designs on it and a pink heart where the chest area would be! I started to sew it together with the help of Amethyst. It took a few attempts and a few hours to do but it was worth it in the end! I thanked Amethyst for the help and she gave me a box to put the dress in until I was ready to give it to the person. It was a purple box with white hearts on it and it had a pink ribbon on the top of it as well. I waved goodbye to Amethyst and started heading home. It was around 2:30AM when I got home.
When I got home, I saw Crimson outside near a mailbox. He looked a bit drunk...
Claire: Um...Crimson? What are you doing?
Crimson: Fuck...Y-You weren't meant to see this...but...I'm moving my mailbox back...
Claire: Wasn't it moved because you kept running into it while you were drunk...?
Crimson: I r-run into a lot of th-things while drunk...a mailbox is n-nothing new...
Claire: Ok then...
I decided to sit down on the stairs to the apartments with the purple box, watching as Crimson ran into things constantly trying to move the mailbox. After a while of laughing at him a bit, Pierce walked up to us, the thing on his chest was red.
Crimson: F-Fuck...
Pierce: Crimson. Inside. Now...! You're going to end up hurting yourself...!
Crimson: Fine...s-sorry...!
Crimson walked away back into their apartment and Pierce turned to look at me.
Pierce: Why weren't you stopping him?...
Claire: I'm too tired to do anything about it, plus it was kind of funny to watch...!
Pierce sighs
Pierce: Alright...whatever...
I watch as the thing on his chest turns green. He looks at it and smiles.
Pierce: Well...my job is done for tonight...! Goodnight Claire...!
Claire: Goodnight Pierce...!
I watch as Pierce walks away back towards his home. I walked up the stairs and into my apartment to see Alice sitting in the dining room just looking at the knife set...she had her sleeves rolled up but it was dark so I couldn't see much.
Claire: Alice...? You ok...?
Alice jumps a bit when I speak and quickly rolls down her sleeves.
Alice: H-Hi Claire! Uh...Y-Yeah, I'm fine...!
She gets quieter.
Alice: P-Perfectly fine...
I walk into my room to put the purple box on my bed then I walk back out of the room.
Claire: You sure...?
Alice: Y-Yeah...!
She looks like she's about to cry...I walk over to her and gently grab her arm, rolling up her sleeve again to see a lot of old cuts...We both go silent for a while.
Alice: It's just...old scars...it's nothing important...
Claire: You...were looking at the knives...were you...thinking about grabbing one...?
Alice goes silent.
Claire: You know...you can talk to me if you want to...it's not good to bottle things up...!
Alice: It's nothing important...just...am thinking about everything Andrew has told me over the years...
The mention of Andrew's name makes me angry, but I know she doesn't need me hurting Andrew more than I have, she needs someone to rely on that won't hurt her...
Claire: You need to stop thinking about what he says...he's just a bitch, he doesn't really care about you...you need to stop thinking about all the bad things he says and think of all the good things other people say...Andrew wants to break you...he wants to bring you down...but other people want you to be ok...they want to help you...
Alice starts to cry again and she hugs me.
Alice: Th-Thank you for being there for me Claire...
Claire: You're welcome, Alice...
Alice lets go of me and walks back to her room, a bit shaky. I walked into my room, took the purple box off my bed and placed it into the closet. I lay in bed thinking about what just happened, I was just lying there awake for a while. It was around 4:45AM When I finally went to sleep.
