Floating In The Sky

Chapter 20

In a day, I was forced not to meet Justin. If I did, I would get the most severe punishment.

But that didn't made me not to meet him. I had stopped harming myself which resulted a decrease on my suicidal thoughts.

Today, I was going to the mall without sneaking. These were one of the days of the month in which I had to go to the mall for my clothes.

I wore a black tank top, pink crop top and ripped jeans and braided my hair. I skipped my way out of the house and went to the mall.

I stood outside the mall where a huge fountain stood. I looked at my watch, he was ten minutes late. I tapped my foot on the floor while I waited for him.

I see him running towards me. "You are ten minutes late." I said with my hands on my waist. "Where were you?"

"You know traffic." He smirked.

"Let's not waste time and go shopping!" I grabbed his arm and pulled him inside the mall.

"Why did you needed me for shopping. You could have asked Caroline."

"It's because we aren't going shopping. We are window shopping." I whispered. It was half true, though.

"Oh. Then, let's go."

We walked around the mall, admiring the clothes and accessories but not buying any of them.

After a while, we went to the food court to have a bite to eat. "What would you like?" Justin asks in the queue.

"A Big Mac." I said.

He ordered two big Mac's and coke. We sat at our table with our food. I ate as quick as lightning and said, "I am coming in a minute, I want to use the restroom."

I walked towards the restroom, but I didn't went in. Instead, I sneaked to the Casio shop.

I scanned the shop to find a good watch. I came across a silver watch, which showed time, day, date and hour. I bought it as soon as my eyes were laid on it.

I came back to the food court. Justin was playing a game on his phone. I tapped the table and said, "Let's go."

He stood up and we walked into the lift. "Can you give me your hand?" I said.

"Why?"

"Do you trust me?"

"Okay." He opened his palm and I gave him the box.

"Happy Birthday," I smiled widely.

"How did you know?" He examined the box.

"You told me a week ago." I walked out of the lift as we reached our floor. "Don't open it." I warned him. "As this is your birthday you could buy anything."

"You don't have to do this. By the way, where did you get the money?"

"Firstly, I worked. Secondly, Tiago gave me money."

"Wow, did he really gave you money?"

"Yeah, it's one of the days of the month I am given money to fulfil my necessities." I explained.

"Oh."

"So let's go and buy some clothes for you." I pulled him into a shop.

He tried on many outfits. We argued that what he should buy. I searched the shop and found a shirt which was sky blue and faded into white.

I took it and started to search him when someone bumped into me. "Sor-," he started, "Willow?"

I looked at him, "Kyle?"
