Escaping From Monsters(Stanford X Reader)

7~ Hit The Town! .II. ~7

(Your P.O.V)

   After a while, Stanley woke up and the group arrived at the mall. Time was spent in various stores of all shapes and sizes. The twins even bought you some clothes, which at the moment, you were in the dressing room, trying some on. Despite all of your protests, the two got them...As long as they could pick at least two dresses, one from each. Before they did, you laid down some boundaries, already knowing where Stanley's mind was headed.

   The two left and came back with the clothes. You also noticed they found some shoes and maybe an accessory or two.

   "Since when were you two into women's clothing?" You asked, crossing your arms and jutting your hip out.

   "We weren't," Stanley paused and gestured his head to another isle,"We had help from a woman who knew her stuff." He handed you a long, red cocktail dress that you knew would be pricy. Despite the fact, you still went to try it on. Quickly, you stepped out, feeling sexy as it complemented your body type extremely well.

   The guys looked at you. Stanley stood, clapping and whistling while Ford almost dropped his glasses and the other dress.

  Needless to say, you were flattered and loved the attention.

   After a few minutes of gawking and fumbling with his glasses, Ford nervously walked up to you, handing you his things. "I noticed that most of your clothes had something that...Well, It reminded me of something. So, I got this for you. I think you will look stunning in it." He handed his choice to you and placed his arms behind his back, two rosy circles appearing on his face.

   You smiled and thanked Ford as you went into the dressing room, not hesitant to try on the dress. Once you finished, you viewed yourself in the body mirror.

   The dress came above your knees and had wide straps that stayed on your shoulders. It was striped with shades of pearl and onyx. Wedges complimented the dress.

   You walked out again, gaining a smile from Ford. He took off his glasses, wiped them off, and placed them back on.

  Stanley stood in silence as well. You just smiled and spun, air enveloping the bottom of the dress. Once you stopped, you did a pleà, causing them to clap.

   Ford smiled, and looked you over. "You must truly be an angel from Heaven. For you beauty makes even the reddest of roses shy away."

   "That is why you need glasses, you goof...But, the comment is wonderfully appreciated." You replied.

  "I'm hungry! How about you change, and I'll go pay for the clothes!" He said, scooping up some of the items.

  You nodded, slipping back into the room. "Give me just a second!"

  In no time flat, the clothes were purchased and the three of you went to the food court, stomachs grumbling. Quickly, you all got to and sat down at a table.
  
  While you all were eating, you engaged in conversation. Stanley kept teasing Ford and making jokes. Ford was getting annoyed back at Stanley. You watched the two, making you smile at their interactions. However, you knew that if anything ever happed to one or the other, there would be hell to pay.

  As you put your bit of conversation in, you looked around at the shoppers in the mall. It was amazing how many people would show...Dressed in so many different types of clothes.

  However, as you were looking around, you saw something coming down the escalator. Two people, a bit older. A man and a woman had their gaze locked on you.

The uneasy feeling didn't leave your stomach. Although, it didn't stop you from trying to shrug it off.

  "(F/n)? You okay?" Stanley asked, gaining Fords attention.

   "Yes! I-I'm fine! Just zoned out again, that's all!!" Your heart began to beat faster in your chest and louder in your ears as you watched the couple leave the escalator.

  Ford turned around, looking for what was freaking you out.

  "I hate to be crude," he said, still turned around, "but I am not buyin' it." You watched him. His eyes were squinted through the glasses. If not but for an instant, you could have sworn that his aura was dark and scary for a nerd like him.

  Stanley turned as well.

  You looked up at the strangers. They were a few tables away from you, but then you realized who they were.

  Without a second thought, you bolted from your chair and ran through the mall towards the exits. Despite hearing the guys yell at you.

   Colors of people and building passed you in a flourish. Even the noises seemed to mingle and swirl around in your head.

   You were stopped by a strong, harsh hand that grabbed you and jerked you back. They tried to turn you around to look at them, but you jerked your arm hard forward, causing them to fly in front of you, rolling a few feet.

  After more footsteps sounded behind you, you took off in a sprint. Pushing your body so hard caused pain, but you pushed through.

  You slammed through the doors of the mall, nearly knocking some people over. Of course, you huffed an apology and ran even faster.

   Did you have an idea of where you were going? No.

   All you wanted was to get away from those awful people.

   How did my parents find me here!?
