"hot damn" yells Sky as I walk out wearing a short silky black dress with a heart neckline and sparkely silver band that wraps around just below my bust the top of the dress fits tight while the bottom is loose and flowy, it ends just above my knee.
I let out a slight giggle and do a twirl. As the dress moves with me. "I love it." I gush. "Your dress is also absoulutely fantabulous."
"Why thank ya." Says Sky with a smirk as she copies my previous motion and doing a twirl. Her dress is a white lace dress that has a purple bow sash that sits just bellow her bust. The dress the looks perfect on her and it really compliments her gorgeous tan.
"So have we found are dresses?" She asks giddly. She looks like shes about to start jumping up and down.
"I beleive we have." I smile. Skylar does a small leap of joy and then gives me a hug.
Sky pays for our dresses and we then proceed to her tracker and start driving to my appartment.
"This dance is gonna be amazing." squeals Sky.
"Ya." I replie with a small smile as I feel my face start to heat up.
"oh Kyles not gonna be able to take his eyes off of you". I giggle at Sky's comment I'm such a girl. "So hows stuff going between you two" Says sky as she raises an eyebrow.
"Fine he's been really sweet he's been coming over alot and helping out alot. I told him he doesnt have to but he insists. My moms kinda mad she thinks we've been going out for a long time or something and that I just didnt tell her." I tell Sky.
"Awww that's adorable!" Gushs Sky as we pull up to my apartement. "You guys are perfect for each other."
"i'm really worried about my mom though she could barely handle as much as she did before i fractured my leg. Now shes working more shifts and is almost never home. I mean she wasn't home much before but she would come home to sleep during the nights for at least 6 hours now she only comes home for 3 hours at the most if she even comes home. I'm really getting worried the last time I saw her she looked pretty rough." I voice my concerns to Sky.
"Oh thats not good Beth" Says Sky the worry in her voice evident. "I honestly don't know what to tell you theres not much you can do right now."
"I know." I sigh. "I better go I gotta finish Luna's dress by Thursday so I should have it done Wednesday night so i have today and tomorow to finish it."
"Okay see you later." shouts Sky as I jump out of her Tracker and head towards my appartment.
I go and get Margaret from the her playdate with the little girl on the floor bellow us and then we take the elevator up to our floor.
Margaret insists on kraft dinner for Dinner. So I quickly make a box and scoop half of it into a bowl for me and the other half into a bowl for me. I scarf it down within less than 5 minutes while Margaret takes her time eating her's.
I go into our room so I can start working on luna's dress it's been slightly more difficult to sew her dress with my air boot on.
I look at the dress to see what I have left to do. I'm actually almost done I just have to hem the dress and make the bow for the sash. I made the sash earlier on when I wasn't up to doing much one day.
Before I know it it's 10 Margaret finally dozed off despite my desk lamp being on. I've finished the hem an I am now cutting out the fabric for the bow I have to hand sew the folds in the bow before putting the two pieces together.
it's now 11 I debate on sewing the bow onto the sash so it's done but I decide against it because I'm really tired and there's a chance I might mess up and have to redo the sash.
I jump into my bed not bothering to brush my teeth or change into my pyjamas. I check my phone which has a single message.
Kyle: Sorry I didn't stop by to c u 2day. I just wanted to say I miss you and I hope you had a great day :) night
A smile spreads across my face as I put my phone back on my bedside table and close my eyes. I expect to fall asleep right away but right as I start to drift off I hear our apartment door open and close loudly.
I right away know its my mom. I quietly tip toe out of my room and lighty shut the door. I can see the fridge lite which is illuminating the kitchen.
I know I need to talk to my mom. She can't continue to work like this.
"Mom." I whisper.
She averts her gaze to me and I immedetly see the exaustion in her eyes. There are large dark circle under her blood shot tired eyes. She slouchs just standing up, her legs are shaking as well as her hands. I realize how thin she is. I never thought much of it before but I now seeing her this over worked I can see how serious her condition is. Her cheekbones pertrude from her face her shirt which is suposed to fit tight hangs lose around her body. Her torn, worn skinny jeans are held up by a belt which causes the jeans to bunch at the waist. Those jeans used to fit her perfectly... snuggly. How was I so blind, how had I never realized the seriousness of her condition before now. Was shealways like this did I just never notice? How long ago wasit really that those jeans actually fit?
"Yes honey?" she whispers her voice cracking.
"Mom, you're so over worked, you shouldn't be working this many extra shifts." I say getting straight to the point.
"Bethany I'm fine. Just a little tired is all." She says weekly.
"Mom your not fine. I can tell that just from looking at you. You've gotten really skinny."
"Bethany,.. I'm fine. Now go to bed." She says anger starting to peek through her voice.
"Mom you're not-"
"Go to bed NOW Bethany!" Yells my mother.
I retreat back to my room wanting so badly to slam the door but I don't in fear I'll wake Margaret.
I scream into my pillow so no one will hear me. Tears start to drip down my face the room is silent. I'm scared... Scared for mom, scared for Margaret, scared for me. What'll happen to Margaret and I if something tragic happens to mom. We are all each other have for family...
