Tennis Shoes are my Glass Slippers

Chapter 34

I smiled and pulled out the two necklaces. They were best friend necklaces. They were gold with little diamond hearts. They were absolutely beautiuful.

"Lucy, they are just beautiful!" i exclaimed. Lucy blushed. I slipped one on over my head and then handed the other to Lucy, and she slipped her's over her head as well. I gave her a hug, and smiled. There was a knock at the door. A nurse with a clipboard walked in.

"Another person is outside waiting, he wishes to come in and see you. Should i allow him?" i looked longingly at Lucy, and shook my head. I just couldn't face Jullian now, not even ever, just because of his little secret that he never thought to even tell me. I closed my eyes and drifted off into sleep, even though i was sleeping, i felt Lucy pull the covers up on me, and kiss my forehead. I had no dreams, just the floating image of Noah, and warmth.

I heard the door slam, and Lucy's voice.
"You're not allowed in here!" she yelled. I didn't open my eyes, too nervous to see who it was. But i already knew.
"Let me just look at her! I need to talk to her, or atleast look at her!" Jullian yelled back. I heard the door open again, this time i opened my eyes, a nurse walked in.
"Is there a problem in here?" she asked softly. Lucy nodded.
"He isn't supposed to be in here, he gives this patient anxiety!" Lucy explained. The nurse looked at Jullian, who looked at me (he finally noticed that i was awake) The nurse tried to pull/push him out.
"Poppy! I am so sorry! I will explain everything-" he was finally gone. I pulled the covers up, and over my head. I couldn't stand the site of him. I just couldn't. Lucy came over and rubbed my back for a moment.
"I am so very sorry." she murmered. I know, but i just couldn't handle his presence.

When Aunt Mindy came to my room, it was time to go. I couldn't wait to get to the house. I have missed home. Lucy brought me clothes to change into, and they both helped me to the car. I sat in the backseat with my favorite book in my hands. I read. Just silently. When we finally got to the house, i smiled. The house looked wonderful. It had the christmas decorations still up, and the whole place was covered in glistening frost. I was filled with joy at just the site. Once i was inside, Mindy went to her room in the floor below mine. It was just an empty floor so Dad is letting Mindy live there. I just walked with Lucy to my room. It felt good to be home, especially with Lucy and Mindy. They are my family, along with Dad. I layed down on the bed and Lucy layed down right next to me. We sat in silence for a while.
"So, Lucy, how did you know about me and Jullian?" i asked her. She sighed.
"I didn't really find out, i assumed. You went on and on about how excited you were about Christmas with him, and then all of a sudden that same night you were found passed our (near frozen to death) on the side of the road. I basically had to assume that something went wrong." Just like any best friend, Lucy knew. I sat on my mini bingbag, and sighed. Lucy pulled out the sweater from the Christmas dinner. I took it from her and tossed it into the garbage tin next to me. I couldn't look at any of the clothes that Jullian had ever gotten me.
"Lucy, do you feel like helping me get rid of some of my clothes?" i asked. She nodded. We stood up and went to my closet. I basically looked at all my clothes and frowned. There are memories in almost ever shirt, jacket, and dresses that i own. The jeans i can't tell apart because they are all the same, basically. I took off shirts and jackets. I pulled off my flannel shirt and smirked. This was the shirt that me and Jullian had our first kiss. When we just were in the rain, and we were getting soaked. I pushed the thought out of my mind.
He is already engaged, i thought to myself as i placed the flannel into a large black garbage bag. I took down atleast 4 other shirts and the letterman jacket that Jullian had given to me when we first started to date. I took the jacket and placed it on the bed, i was going to return it to him. We finally done with the shirts and jackets. We have all the dresses to go through now. I took down the strappy silver gown that i had worn to the 3rd date we went on when he took me to a fancy pants restaraunt. I placed it back in the trash bag. As i went through dress after dress we finally got down to the last one. The blue dress. I smiled. I got this dress in the mail a while a go. Linda mailed it to me, the card said that she wanted me to have it. I thought about discarding it, but i couldn't bring myself to do it.
After all, this dress was the dress that held the magic in it.
