Bumper Cars [Derek Hale]

Chapter 2

So today, I decided to treat myself.

Shopping, with mom of course. Her fashion is impeccable.

Mom got me up about 8, so I took a shower, another one because I feel icky. It took 30 minutes because I lost track of time.  I got out and dried off and put my robe on. I had to dry my hair, then fixed it. Of course I did my makeup so I don't look like a zombie. I was in my closet for forever, trying to find something to wear. I finally decided on a floral jumper and tan ankle boots with a 4 inch heel. I was ready as soon as my mom walked in.

"Ready to go?" I look at the clock to see it was 9:45.

"Yes I am!" I said.

There is no mall in Beacon Hills itself, it's in the Beacon county area but there's a difference between a town and county. The mall had so many stores. There was Victoria Secret, rue 21, American Eagle, sephora, a lot more and even little local boutiques; that was all on the first level. The second level was all Macy's.

We were half way done when we decided to go to the food court.

"How did Kate treat you?" Mom asked.

"Good. But she could never amount to you and dad." I said. We decided on Chinese. "Allison seems different. Yeah yeah she was 11 when I last saw her, but usually she's more happy and bubbly." I said. Mom looked around to see if anyone was near or could be listening.

"She fell in love with a werewolf." She said.

"How could you let that happen?" I whisper shouted the last part, acting like I don't know anything.

"Your dad put a stop to it. But she doesn't seem to heartbroken." She said, I'm going to protect Allison, even if I'm a hunter. 

"Maybe because of the family business she now knows about and what he was." I said. "What was his name?" I asked.

"Scott McCall." She said through gritted teeth.

"He better not cross me." I said.

"I wish we could have been there for your graduation." Mom said, changing the subject.

"It's fine. You were busy. I totally understand." I said.

"Are you sure?" She asked.

"Yes, I'm sure." I said and gave her a reassuring smile.

"I want to get you a real graduation gift to make up for it." She said.

"Mom. It's fine. You don't have to do that." I try to tell her.

"I want to." She said, and gave one of those looks. 

"I'm not going to win, am I?" i asked, already defeated. But I don't mind, free stuff is free stuff.

"Nope." She said popping the 'p'. "What do you want?" She asked.

"Nothing. It's whatever you want to get me." I said.

"I was hoping you'd say that." She said and got up and started walking back up to Macy's.

"Where are we going?" I asked.

"To get you a whole new wardrobe." She said.

"My wardrobe is just fine mom." I said, but that didn't stop her.

It was now about 2. Yes I know. We have been here for a long time. You'll see why.

Mom bought me 3 new rompers, 4 pairs of shoes, 2 skirts, 6 shirts/blouses, 4 pairs of skinny jeans, 2 pairs of black leggings, a new new leather jacket. But apparently we aren't finished.
