*After A Week*
Madelyn's POV
It's been a week and I haven't seen or heard from Niall. Glad to know he's even trying. Note the sarcasm. Things have been so hard for the past week. I haven't talked to Niall, Karlee, or Emmalee. I'm home alone again. Today is the big day though and I should be excited!! Mom and dad goes on their date. I'm taking mom to this really fancy restaurant downtown. I bought her a dress and everything. Dad is going to be "bumping" into us.
Mom gets off work at 4 so I have to wait until then. Oh which means, I have to go buy a dress. Blah. I'm not really big on dresses and stuff like that, but I'm only doing this for mom and dad. Which means, I have to get ready. Blah. I slip on some Kentucky basketball sweatpants, a Kentucky blue T-shirt, and some vans. I tie my hair into a messy bun and go. Yeah, lately I haven't really cared about what I look like going in public, I mean I'm not trying to impress anyone. All that matters is I'm being me. At least that's what my dad says.
I hop into my rented car and go. Yeah I can't afford one that I can own so I just rented one for a few weeks. I get to my mom's dress shop. As I walk in, a woman with long ginger colored hair, a petite body, and glasses comes running to me.
"Madelyn! I haven't seen you since you was just a little girl!" She squeals with her country accent.
"It's nice to see you, but what's your name?" I ask while she's hugging me so tight I can barely breathe.
"Oh I'm sorry. You probably don't remember me but I'm Renee. I've known you since you was a small little kiddo." She lets go of me.
"Oh wait I do remember you! Wow it's been forever since I've seen you." I smile.
"I know! So what are you here for today?" She asks.
"Well you see I'm taking mom out to dinner and I need a dress. We are going to that fancy restaurant down the street. I have no idea what to get." I say.
"Don't worry. I will help you. Come with me." She says as she takes my hand and guides me to the back of the shop into this big room.
As we get in there, I'm in complete awe. There are so many beautiful dresses hanging everywhere.
"Wow they are all beautiful!" I squeal.
"Your mother made them all. She designed them too." Renee says.
"Wow." My mouth drops.
"They probably cost a fortune." I say.
"Well pick out which one you like and we'll see how much it costs." She smiles.
I look around at each dress eying them closely. There is a purple one with glitter on the bottom, a strapless orange one with glitter on the chest part, and....yes that's the one!! A sky blue and silver glitter dress with glitter from top to bottom and ruffles. It is strapless as well.
"That's it." I say pointing to the dress.
"That is a great choice. It's beautiful." She says as she gets it down.
"How much does it cost?" I ask.
"Well it costs, $200." She says.
"Oh darn." I sigh.
She hands me the dress and smiles.
"Keep it for free. It's on me."
"Thank you so much Renee. I will pay you back soon." I grin.
"Don't worry about it. Just pay me a visit every day okay?" She asks.
"Ok I will." I smile.
"Go get ready!" She squeals.
