I wake up slightly disoriented, I fell asleep on Sophie's shoulder and I am in my bed, in my pyjamas. Probably Soph's doing. I get up and stretch, hearing the crack of my bones. My black cat, Sylvester jumps up and mews, butting my arm with his head.
"Hey, Syl, how're you this morning?"
He meows in response and purrs as I scratch behind his ears. I grab my phone that's charging, smiling slightly, Soph must've plugged it in, I love her. I notice a note on my bedside table.
"Raven,
Well, good morning! Call or text when you get up, we have to talk. Nothing bad, I promise. I changed your clothes, I know you wouldn't mind, I fed Sylvester and I plugged in your phone. Endymion feels terrible not telling Mathias about your scars. Okay, I love you!
-Sophie"
I smile and get up, Sylvester following me, slightly pissed off that I stopped petting him. I take off my shorts and shirt, folding them up and placing them in the drawer before putting on a bathrobe. I grab my phone and speaker and head into the bathroom.
"Burn, baby burn,
She's a witch, she's a witch,
And I'm a hieratic..."
I call my best friend after taking a shower and putting on black skinny jeans and a white tank top that's open in the back. I make myself some yogurt and cut up peaches and sprinkle chopped almonds into the yogurt.
"What's up, bitch?" Sophie says.
"Hey, what's shaking?" I reply, sitting on the couch, cradling my phone to my shoulder with my chin.
"Oh, nothing much. Endymion feels terrible, he is practically beating himself up."
I frown, "Soph, tell him I don't blame him. I wasn't counting on him seeing them, you know how you can barely see them in low lighting."
"I know, but, he should've warned Mathias," she says.
"Look, I don't want Endymion to feel guilty. I hardly think Mathias is the one for me, anyway. Don't get me wrong, he's a great guy and a good Dom, but I want to keep my options open."
Sophie sighs, "I understand. Anyway, Endymion gave me permission to go shopping today. D'you want to come?"
I grin, "Yeah, sure. I'll meet you at your house, alright?"
"Okay, see you then. Bye, Raven!" She sings before hanging up.
I finish eating and feed Sylvester, emptying his litter, also. After, I brush my teeth and put on some black wedges and putting on a heart necklace and earrings. I tease my hair a bit, making my red streaks show a bit, and get in my car.
Soph opens the door of her and Endymion's little house, bouncing up and down. I chuckle and she pulls me inside, where her boyfriend is in the kitchen.
"Please tell Endymion what you told me," she demands.
I cower away from her, "Jesus...okay, Endymion, I don't blame you, it's okay. Mathias was nice but not really my kind of person." I turn to Sophie, "Happy?"
"Yep! Now, let's go!" She pulls me into the hallway again.
"Try not to break her, Sophie. Then you'll have no friends!" Endymion calls after us.
She rolls her eyes and gets in my car, "He's just jealous because I'm going shopping with you instead of him."
"He hates shopping," I remind her.
"Oh. Right. Then I don't know what he's bitching about," she says giggling. "Alright, bitch, drive! Go!"
I laugh and roll my eyes as I pull out of her driveway. I put on my music so it's blasting and I lower the roof of my convertible. People stare at us in shock and disgust as Motionless in White plays, but we could give a fuck. Soph just jams out, her middle finger high.
We get to the mall and run inside like little kids on Christmas morning. The first place we go to is Hot Topic to see if they have any band merch. The woman behind the counter smiles at us when we come in.
"Hello, how're you?"
"Good," we reply and go to the back wall where the shirts are. I get a Green Day shirt with the cover for their American Idiot album on it. Soph gets a Nirvana shirt. Then we get a couple of corsets and some earrings. We pay for everything and walk out. Soph looks around.
"Where to next?"
"How about the skate shop? I need a new board," I reply.
We walk into the store and a guy with dreads and piercings greets us, "Hey, dudes. How can I help you?"
"I need a 7" board, the one I have is too big for me," I say.
"Okay, any brand in particular?" He asks me.
I shake my head, "Nope."
He gets me a few boards and I find one I like, it's white and has a hand with an eye in the centre as it's decoration. It's pretty trippy. We thank him and go get some lunch. As we walk into the food court, I see him...
