Gone

Chapter 4

We walk into Jc Penny's and we go right to the dress section.

Kim points out a short, low cut dress, that I kindly reject. She gives me a puzzled look.

"You wanna look hot, right?"

"Well yeah, but isn't that a little much?"

"No! We're talking about Niall Horan here. He'll love it!" She smiles and hands it to me pushing me towards the dressing room.

"Now I don't want to hear any complaining." She adds.

I roll my eyes and walk in the dressing room. It's quite big, with a huge mirror and a place to sit. I set my dress down on the seat and start to get undressed. The fact she wants me to wear this blows my mind. I mean, I'm not fat, but I'm not what you call skinny either. I do have curves, so hopefully this dress fits right. I put the dress on. It's a white dress, with lace on top, trailing down to the bottom. Little sparkles sprinkle the sides. It's not as short as it looked, but still enough where it goes above my knees a bit. I have a huge ass so I don't know how I'm going to possibly bend down. The top is cut low, so you can see cleavage. But overall the dress does fit good. My curves fit the dress just right. I'm pleased at the reflection looking back at me. Suddenly, my thoughts are interrupted.

"Nor, lemme see!" Kim yells for the third time.

I walk out of the dressing room, slightly embarrassed by all the faces staring at me because of Kim's outburst.

She stares at me with her mouth gaping open.

"You look gorgeous!" She screams. "We're getting it right now, hurry up and get undressed. I'm starving."

I hurry back in the dressing room and take the dress off. By the time I get back out, Kim is waiting by the cashier. I run and hand her the dress, so I can go fishing for my card.

She stops me.

"Uh, what are you doing? I'm paying for you silly!" She turns back to the cashier and hands her the cash, while handing me the dress.

"You're welcome babe." She smirks.

We walk out of the store and head for the food court. My stomach is grumbling. The only thing I had today was a sandwich and a granola bar. Shopping makes me exhausted and hungry. This party tomorrow better be worth all the shopping I did today.

Kim goes to Charlie's subs and grabs me and her two buffalo sandwiches and cheese fries. After about 15 minutes, I've scarfed down all my food and I'm content. I sit back and soak in the scenery. Lights are dangling along the stands and windows, showing Christmas spirit everywhere. I smile and watch as little kids admire the blow up objects.

By the time Kim is finished eating, it's getting late so we head home.

"Are you happy we got what you wanted?" She asks

"Yes, thanks for paying for me. I'll have to pay you back soon. I'm working on Sunday so I'll see then."

"Take as long as you need." she replies cooly.

We get home and she waves goodbye and I walk inside. My parents are in the living room watching tv.

"How did shopping go today?" My mom asks.

"It went great." I reply, trying to get upstairs.

"Good to hear." She says, and then adds, "Make sure to be quiet when you go upstairs. Your brother is sleeping."

I nod and walk up the stairs. I pad across the hallway softly, making sure not to wake my brother. As I get in my room I lay down in my bed, exhaustion hitting me. I stare at the ceiling, thinking about how this party's going to go. Before I know it, I feel my eyelids getting heavy, and I fall asleep.
