Just Say You Won't Let Go

Getting ready

When I got to my room I started freaking out. I pulled everything I owned out of my closet.

As I'm searching for the perfect outfit something catches my eye. I go in my closet and find a note from uncle Scott.

It reads "Hey. Thought you could use some new clothes. I can't have you in California looking like...well you know..you (don't take it personally). Just trying to help you fit in. Love you, uncle Scott."

After I finished reading it I realized I was smiling like an idiot. I can't remember the last time someone important to me told me they loved me.

I went deeper in my closet to find tons of bags filled with clothes. They all were beautiful. All the shirts, dresses, shorts, shoes, accessories were just... I don't know. Everything I've always wanted. Just something I couldn't afford. I'm grateful for uncle Scott. Not for his money but for his thoughtfulness.

As I searched through each and every bag, I came to the last one. It was perfect. It was a long sleeve thigh length dress with an open back and a deep V in the front. It is very tight fitting, but its good because it shows off my curves. As I looked for a pair of shoes I noticed a Loui Vuitton box. I froze at the thought of how much these probably costed my uncle. I opened the box to find these shoes that were decked out in gold sequence with a bow near the toe. They were so gorgeous. The outfit was just perfect.

I put my  outfit on and went to the bathroom to do my makeup and hair. I left my hair down. I straightened out the waves. My eyes are big and deep, bright blue so I used a dark color to make them standout. I used my Mac lipstick in the color diva. And added my highlighter by Becca in the shade champagne pop. As I walked out of the bathroom I caught scooter coming in.

"Hey. I was coming to check if you found you new clothes. Which I'm guessing you did. You really look amazing honey. What's the special occasion?"

"Yeah I found them. Thank you so much I really appreciate it, but I think my favorite part was the note" we laughed. "Justin invited me to this party thing so I said yes. I mean I had no other plans so why not?"

"I'm glad he invited you to the party because I'm actually going out."

"Good. You need to get out and have fun" I smiled.

"Have fun tonight honey."

"You too uncle Scott" he was almost out the door when I stopped him.

"Hey uncle Scott?" he stopped short. "I love you too" he smiled back and walked out.

***********************************

I heard the door bell ring so i ran downstairs. It was still a little early for it to be Justin so I was curious on who it was.

"Oh Justin?" I wasn't expecting him to come so early

"Hey" he smiled "I just was coming by to tell you that ugh -- well that um"

"What's wrong Justin" I said trying to act normal but I had an idea on what he was trying to say.

"I thought It would be easy to tell you this but I was so wrong. You look absolutely perfect. Wow" Justin said as he repeatedly looked me up and down.

"Tell me what Justin?"

"I'm kind of bringing someone else to the party. It's a last minute thing. Please don't get mad. I just --" I cut him off.

"It's fine I understand" I tried acting nonchalant even though I felt like total shit. I went crazy looking for an outfit and I have no where to wear it to.

"You understand? that's all? I mean you can still come to the party just--"

"Not with you. I get it. It's whatever." I put on a smile to make him believe me when I said I understood. I pushed past him and opened the door to the car when Justin stopped me.

"Yeah that's the other thing. We can't be seen together..."

"Are you serious" I was getting so mad I'm surprised my face wasnt red.

"Yeah. It's just about my image and stuff. Nothing big."

"Yeah I get it. You can't be seen with a normal girl" I shook my head and laughed bitterly. "After everything we all read on social media I actually thought you were decent. But to ask someone to go somewhere with you and then last minute cancel is rude. Especially because you're scared of what people might think. Don't worry I guess I'll just see you there"

I went back inside and asked Uncle Scott if he could bring me before he went out. He didn't ask any questions he immediately said yes and we were on our way.
