Chapter 27: VMAwkward

Chapter 28:

"What do you mean it isn't here yet? Where the hell is it, on the moon?!" Brook screams into her phone, pacing back and forth around the living room like a mad woman.

"She's been at this for a half hour." I say to a startled Niall as he walks into the room. I've been here sitting on the couch laughing at my frazzled sister doing absolutely nothing to help.

"Calm down you'll smudge your makeup! What's wrong?" Niall asks, laughing as she flips us off for making fun of her.

"Something about her dress not being at the store and the manager not knowing where it is." I shrug. Brook has her first Video Music Awards to attend this evening and she's going crazy trying to make it perfect.

"I have it right here." Niall holds up a garment bag.

"What! This is your fault!" I throw a pillow at him.

"Jesus I only grabbed it for her to be nice! My tuxedo is from the same shop!" He defends himself jokingly.

"Brook." I call her attention.

"Bad time Rosie." She dismisses me with her hand.

"Brook." I repeat louder.

"What!" She snaps and looks at me. I simply point to Niall with a smirk and her tense demeanor falters from embarrassment.

"Sorry about that, it's all settled. Merci." She says quickly into the phone and hangs up.

She grabs the bag from Niall with a glare and silently walks up to her room.

"Don't speak of this again!" She screams down the hallway and I laugh. I was totally about to tease her for her little diva episode.

"Thanks Niall, you tried." I pat him on the back and begin to walk into the kitchen.

I was a little offended after I saw the newscast about the VMA's knowing I wasn't invited, but later on Brook said they left a ticket for me. It's my choice but I told everyone I think I'll pass. To be honest, I do enjoy the parties. I'd love to go if that's all there was to it. But as E! News gracefully pointed out, it's not.

I don't want to be the source of any stupid story or gossip. I don't think any of us need that added stress at the moment. Plus, I don't think any of them even care if I go to be honest. These types of things aren't exactly my speed. They know that more than even I do.

Maybe a night in my pajamas watching The Notebook all by myself won't be so bad. I could call Navy and Rebecca over if I'm overly lonely...I'll be fine. It's just a stupid award show. I don't even care anyways.

Sure, that's what I'll tell myself.

I grab a bottle of water and a handful of grapes before walking back up to my room. I see a garment bag laid on my bed the same as the one Brook had. Why did she put hers in my room? Probably to try it on with a pair of my shoes. She's always been one to take without asking.

"Brook!" I call to her so she can come and claim her dress back.

Curiosity takes the best of me and I walk over to the bag. I unzip it carefully so I don't snag anything.

"Oh my god." I say out loud as I lay it on the bed. It has to be the most beautiful dress I've ever seen

The entire chest area is a halter top style but it's made entirely out of strings of beautiful beads and gems. The embellishing is astonishing and it continues to the center of the bust. The fabric part of the dress has a sweetheart neckline with more crystals framing the top. The fabric has a ruching detail at the bust that flows down into the dress. The light pink pools at the ground leaving a small train. I'm in love with it. Imagine wearing something like this at the VMA's, all eyes are going to be on Brook tonight.
