We'll Brave This Storm

Chapter 22: Breathe in for luck.

Open external link at the side to see what they're wearing. And the picture on the side is what Kyle & Daniel look like.

"Do we have to?" I groaned, as Samantha pulled me into the nail salon.

"We must." she giggled.

"Why?!" I asked.

"It's girls weekend. We need to take our mind off of things. Off of everything. The only thing we should worry about this weekend is our beauty & fun!" she answered, smiling widely.

"Ehh, starting with your nails." she said looking at them. "They need to be pretty & feminine." she smiled.

I smiled back, "This really isn't my thing." I said.

"Well it will be! & you're outfit. I'm going to make you girlier." she laughed.

"Ew, no thanks." I said in disgust.

We were picking out our colors for our nails. I saw red.

"I guess I'll get this." I said.

"Hmm. I approve." she said.

She picked a light, glossy pink.

"If you think I'm ever going to choose that, you're mental." I said.

She rolled her eyes while laughing.

These chinese ladies escorted us towards these black leather lean backed chairs with water at the bottom.

They made us put our feet in, I played with the remote, making it massage me.

They started doing crap to my toenails & then painting them.

Samantha was too into the Seventeen magazine to pay attention to me.

Once they finished they made us sit with them at tables & they started to paint our nails.

We sat for a while, waiting them to dry out.

"My hands feel heavy." I remarked.

"Oh, beginners, always complaining." She sighed, smiling.

I stuck my tounge out at her.

"So, what's up with Mason being with a different girl everyday?" I asked, my heart hurting when I said his name & the images popped into my head.

"We shall not speak of boys & problems. Tonight we have fun & worry about us. But trust me, you'll find out soon. Just to let you know, he loves you Alice. He really does. But changing the topic. What time is it?" she said.

I looked at my phone, "8:05." I answered.

"After this we go to the mall! Then, we go eat somewhere & catch a movie!" she smiled.

I nodded, "You're gonna have me dead of exhaustion." I said.

We payed the ladies & went back into my car. Samantha turned on the radio.

We kept flipping through the stations but it was all rap.

"What the hell?" she said, & turned it off.

"So, about Mason..." I started.

"SHH." she said.

"But--"

"NO!"

"Did he--"

"BE QUIET!"

"I just--"

"CHANGE THE TOPIC!"

"But--"

"GIRLS NIGHT. NO WORRIES."
