22-alex-just before but better

Chapter twenty two, I like that shoe

   Me and oli parted ways as I walked into Lizzie's dressing room. "Alex thank god you're here!" Lizzie said, standing up "help with my eyeliner!" I wanted to laugh at her absolute need to have her eyeliner done. I walked over and dabbed off the failure she had as a wing. Eyeliner is an art, and winging it is for special occasions only. I carefully flicked it out and coloured it in. Life hack: pretend you are a colouring page.

    Lily sat in the corner, flicking a fidget spinner. I feel like that's making a cosmic connection to something else, but I don't know what. Maddie and her mom came in the room every once in a while, and so did a couple other girls. Jess and Tiff chatted away about some things, so that left Lizzie and me by ourselves. But hey,  She looked gorgeous standing in her dress. I'm so glad Margret helped her with it.

     Lizzie still hadn't done most of her makeup so I took care of that. I pinned her hair back and started working on my canvas. I mean I won't go too far, I just want to make sure that she looks perfect for today. I put on the foundation and highlight then blended. No contour, just highlight. Then I redid the eyeliner because I am a fool and covered it up, and put on white eye-shadow. When I was done, she still looked gorgeous. And that's surprising because I can't do makeup worth crap.

   "Alright Liz, so what are we thinking about the hair" I asked her, wanting to know before I did anything extreme. She pulled out her phone and showed me a couple pics off of tumblr. I decided that all of those where way too much for me so I just pulled the top layer into this loose braid thing. I have no clue what its called but it's.. It's that thing. I kept her bangs out while I did because I figured it added to the affect.

     When I was done she looked like the princess she deserves to be. I shoved her in front of a mirror and she looked beyond happy. "Thanks Alex, I don't know what I'd do without you!" She said, hugging me. We chatted for a couple minuets and she got out a bottle of wine from a box. "Um Lizzie, aren't you supposed to wait until after the wedding for that?" I laughed and she shrugged. I asked her if she had any cups and she, once again, laughed. I wasn't quite sure, but I think she already had some.

    So since we didn't have any cups, we took turns drinking from the bottle. I'm sure the guys were already doing this, so it's fine. Yea. A couple minutes in, I actually died. I spilt it on my dress and... My life is over isn't it? Both me and Lizzie freaked the heck out because.. well what can you do? "Listen Lizzie, if we can run back up to my room I have a dress I can change into." She nodded and I looked out of the door.

     The coast seemed clear so me and her ran back upstairs. A few feet away from my door she tripped and yelled "Alex! I have fallen!! Carry on without me!!!" I dove to get her and and yelled back "NO MAN LEFT BEHIND!" I then proceeded to lift her up bridal style (ba dum crash) and carry her into the room. "Get the dress, hurry" she sighed from the corner I left her in.

     I dug through my bag and I couldn't find it. "Liz it's not in here" I began panicking. But then it hit me: just get something that looks like a dress. I reached into Oli's bag and grabbed one of his flannels. He's a bit taller than me so it came down too a little bit above my knee. I put on some black knee highs to match the red and black of the flannel. "Throw some pants on or something, you look like you work on a street corner" Lizzie sassed from wherever she was.

    I sighed and threw on some booty shorts under it. I think she was right, but still. I ran to the bathroom and quickly straightened my hair. By now it was down to my  chest so I braided the sides and tied it in the back. The teal faded so now half of it is silverish and the rest is dark brown. I went back to Lizzie and we ran back to the room. "You guys good?" Tiff asked, I just death stared her and sat down. A single second later Maddie walked in and said the wedding was starting.

    Well just great.
