Miracles

Chapter 28

2 weeks later...

My poor dad is still in hospital. But hey, at least he's awake and he's forgiven me. That made me happy. I'm lying in bed as I receive a text from Alice.

AliceBabee💖: wanna go out today? I know ur feeling down so it might cheer u up seen as it's almost xmas lmao, dw if u don't wanna xx

Me: sure, I'll get ready. We could go town?xo

AliceBabee💖: okaii be ready for 12 x

Me: alrighty thank

I get out of bed and get changed. I don't need a shower, I did yesterday. I throw my hair in half top knot, some up, some down. I do my makeup with eyeliner because I wanna feel good. Brushing gently along my skin, staring into the mirror I tell myself, "it's okay. You look great. Be confident". I throw on some fishnet tights, a black skirt, my 'The 1975' t shirt and a denim jacket. I grab my bag and things and leave to meet Alice at the station.

"Hey!!" She shouts, running over and hugging me. I've missed just being with Alice and having girl time. I smile.
"Wanna go get coffee?" I say, something refreshing.
"Yeah okay." She smiles. We walk to a nearby Costa and grab a coffee to go. We just get there when the train arrives, phew.

The train is quite empty, Alice starts to make conversation.
"Oh my gosh you'll have to see this new range of bath bombs and stuff in Lush, they're adorable, like all the Christmas ones,"
"Ah, we'll have to have a look."
"Yes yes yesss!"
