Promises | l.t

Thirteen

Here I stand, in the middle of a crowded shopping mall with my tiny green purse in hand and a confused expression on my face. Yes, I agreed to go shopping with Louis' hyper sister Charolette Tomlinson. And yes again, I hated shopping. But I also wanted to prove to Louis that his sister and I got along.

"Alivia?" I hear a few British girls shout. Turns out American and British girls are a lot different than you'd expect. At least in my opinion. I always get confused when Louis, or any girl says words like Lou, or bin. It confuses me.

"Alivia. Yeah, that's me," I awkwardly raise my hand and narrow my eyebrow as they rush towards me.

"You look so beautiful today," Lottie cheers, and starts to play with my hair, "You should let me do your makeup someday."

"Uh well.. makeup isn't really my thing," I force a smile.

"We can see that," another girl states.

Well.. here goes nothing.

We start to walk, and all I could hear the girls talk about where different makeup products and clothing brands. Which I didn't understand at all.

We reach the adidas store, and I kid you not they ran around it like two year old kids at a candy store. I watch as Lottie grabs almost everything in the store in the amount of two minutes.

The only thing I grab is a phone case..

"Is that all?" a blonde girl raises her eyebrow. She had so many items, that she had to throw stuff on top of her head.

"Yeah.. that's all I wanted," I widen my eyes.

The same thing happened to the next five stores we went to. No conversations, just buy, buy, buy. Even at Starbucks. Which brought back memories of the time I met Louis.

I became extremely tired. And insisted on going to the restroom, when I really wanted to chill out on one of the vibrating couches.

I may have fell asleep while my body jerked back and forth. The next thing I remember is hearing a ton of people's obnoxious laughs. When I opened my eyes, the whole damn mall was circled around me recording like it was the funniest they had ever seen.

I'm so stupid.

"What happened to going to the Lou?" Lottie chuckles, and turns the chair off for me, "You are clearly tired, let's take you back to Louis."

I anxiously stood up, glaring at the tons of people who continued to point and laugh at me. I was literally a laughing bean stock. 

The girls then drove me back to the apartment complex, and I wouldn't speak to them the entire time because of how mad I was. I'm sure the first thing any of them would do was show Louis the video. Unless it's viral.. then, I'm sure he's seen it.

"I'm surprised you haven't puked yet, that looked like one bumpy ride," the brunette, or 'Veronica' comments, and I grimace.

Of course I don't respond. And patiently wait for them to find a parking space so I could book it out of the bright pink Cadillac. I planned on running straight to my bed, and sleeping.

"Here we are Ali—" she didn't have time to respond before I jumped out of the car and raced towards my dorm, hoping I had my keys somewhere close. "Where is she heading?"

I reach the red door and knock repeatedly while trying to fish for my keys somewhere inside of my green purse. Until suddenly Astrid opens the door with her eyebrow rose.

"Damn girl, what happened to you?"

"Too much to explain," I cough, out of breath and collapse on my bed, "I'm never going shopping again."
