Chapter 7: Shopping

Taylor's P.O.V.

Walking onto the escalator, I began elevating up. I looked around to see what store I was going to go to next. Right now, I was focused on finding something great to wear to Ray's party. My phone went off. Quickly, I pulled it out of my purse and opened the text.

Joe: I'm sorry for over reacting at you house the other day

Me: Yeah you better be

Joe: Trust me I am

Me: Good :) So what's up?

Joe: Just wondering if you wanted to go to Ray's party together

Smirking, I stumbled off the escalator. Really shouldn't be texting why I was on the escalator. I continued to walk around the mall.

Me: I'm actually going with Ray :)

Joe: What? When did that happen?

Me: Things happen. Anyways I guess I'll see you there ;)

Joe: Yeah, uhm I might not go anymore

I laughed. Wow. He wasn't going because I stood him up? Throwing my phone back into my purse, I looked around for a store. Then I stopped and looked at the store in front of me. Selena's favorite store. Unwillingly, I proceeded to go in.

Beginning to look around at the clothes hanging on the racks, I missed her. Everything in this store as reminding me so much of her. I can't believe I had always texted her that I as busy even though I wasn't.

Just saying I was busy, was easier I guess. I just didn't want to talk to her, because I was still mad at her. Well sort of. Man, I was jerk. I had to make up with her. Taking my hands off the rack, I quit looking through them. Pulling my phone back out of my purse, I began texting her.

Me: Sel I'm soooooo sorry! I feel terrible! I can't believe what I did. I'm not busy. I was just mad you hadn't told me that you were going to Paris. Please forgive me. 

Just as I was about to hit send, someone snuck up behind me and tickled me. Dropping my phone, I busted out laughing. Once I quit laughing, I picked my phone up off the floor. They walked in front of me.

"Nick why did you do that?" I asked with a smile.

"You just looked sad. So I wanted to cheer you up," Nick admitted. I quickly hugged him. After I let go of Nick, I looked at my phone. Luckily it had no cracks. Putting my phone back in my purse, I would have to send that text to Selena later.

"What's wrong?" Nick asked.

"Just stressed about finding a cute outfit for Ray's party," I said then began searching through the racks again.

"Well whatever you pick, you'll look great," Nick said with a smile. Blushing, I then continued looking through the rack. Nick helped me for awhile, but he wasn't really helping. Nick eventually left, then I went into another store. It felt so weird shopping without Selena. Quickly, I went into the store an found something.

I found a pair of black high waisted shorts, and a white shirt, and new black flats. I carried the bag down the escalator then went into the parking lot.

After getting into my car, I backed out. Beginning to drive back to my house, I stopped at the red light. My phone went off. Glancing over at my purse, I had to check the text. What if it was Selena? Or what if it was Ray?

The light turned green. Pressing on the gas pedal, I continued glancing at my phone. I just had to check. Taking one hand off the steering wheel, I reached over to my purse. I couldn't reach. It would just be one second, Taking my other hand off the steering wheel, I reached over.
