It had been two weeks since what happened with Damon he didn’t or wasn’t allowed to see me at all since I hadn’t left the same room for that time. I sat up and ate the piece of toast that was now cold since I wasn’t hungry two hours ago. “Maia please get out you need to get out.” Tammy had been trying to get me to go to the mall for a week “I’m not in the mood Tam” I finished my piece of toast and curled back into a ball “Maia it’s been two weeks, you can do it you’re a strong girl! Just please for an hour please for me?” she put on her puppy dog pout I groaned and got up the bruises on my wrists were now an ugly brown green. She jumped up excitedly and handed me a pair of jeans and a long sleeved shirt that would cover my wrists once I finished she combed my ratty hair and pulled it back into a ponytail. I suddenly got really scared and tried talking Tammy out of taking me, she ignored me and gently took my hand and led me to the living room to say good-bye to Kyle who was watching ESPN. “Love you two.” He said as we left, my gut was churning. “C’mon it’ll be fun!” Tammy tried pointing out.

“I’ve got a bad gut feeling about this Tam” I said as she started to pull out of the driveway with her blue Mercedes I pulled my knees up to my face as we listened to Mario- Stranded on the radio. “What’s really bugging you Maia?” she asked while making a right turn “I’m fine Tam” she sighed hoping for a better answer but continued on with driving towards the mall.

Tammy found a parking spot on the far left side of the mall and she sighed as she realized she was going to have to pull me out of the car. She pulled on my arm and finally managed to get me out of the car dragging me towards the entrance, I wanted to run away so bad. She led me to an Hollister store pulling out shirts and pants for me to try on, she bought me a pink tank top and a light grey ripped up skinny jeans that complimented my shape wonderfully but I still didn’t like it she bought it anyways.

“Could we stop by that store Tam?” I pointed towards a dark store with bright red writing, Hot Topic; she looked at me with a sad expression and nodded. Once we entered I was like a little kid in a candy store I smiled at the black clothing the black jewelry I loved it all. I bought four tee-shirts, two bags, three sets of earrings and one pair of black skinny jeans that were paint splattered. Tammy looked terrified of the store but she finally talked me into buying some feather earrings that she thought would look nice with my hair style. We left and I turned around with a frown, I was leaving the place where I had smiled. “Why that store though Maia?” She asked me while we headed towards Macy’s “I don’t know Tam… It just kind of drew my attention.” She sighed while she handed me a couple of purple like shirts and dark jeans and shorts. I tried them on and liked the one purple top that was ripped up with small chains on it, and then I tried on a black pair of jeans that had writings on them. I loved it.

“Look at that Tam!” I yelled pointing to a purple stripped hoodie that I NEEDED I could sense a smile pour on her face finally seeing me excited over a piece of clothing. “That size is a little too small for you Maia” she said putting her Victoria Secret and Hollister bags. “What? That can’t be right” I laughed and saw that it was an XS, it felt strange to laugh. Tammy pulled out a medium hoodie for me it fit perfectly “Looks great on you Maia” she smiled at me I looked over at her and noticed she was glowing. “Tammy your glowing” I just randomly said she laughed “Yeah Maia I know I am” she rolled her eyes “No I’m serious Tam your glowing!” she just continued to laugh while picking up her bags “Maia, I’m pregnant” she said to me I couldn’t help but scream with joy for my best friend.  “Is it Kyle’s?” my first question she gave me the ‘Duh!’ look. “Oh my god Tammy! I’m so happy for you! And my brother! Oh my god that makes me an aunt!” I screamed again getting weird looks from some of the women at the cash register.
