Life As Leah Lovato

Chapter 18

Chapter 18

Once we got in the mall we went straight over to TopShop cause everybody knows that's mine and my moms favourite store. We walked in and instantly split off into our own sections of the store, Camila went to accessories, my mom to the tops etc..... I thought I was alone but someone came with me, I turned around to see who it was and saw Iggy.

"Hi" I said kinda awkwardly "hey sweetie" she replied before smiling innocently. But she was far from innocent she broke my goddamn leg! But whatever she's my idol I guess I kinda have to forgive her. I walked around the whole store with Iggy following closely behind, picking up the odd thing here and there, but because of my leg I couldn't buy any pants, they wouldn't fit over the cast, so I was left to only buy shoes, tops and accessories. What a life ey!

After finishing getting everything I wanted to get, minus pants, I went over to the till, Iggy still close behind. I got my stuff scanned and the total was $103.59 I was about to pass over my card that my mom had given me when Iggy stopped me, she put all of her stuff down too adding to the total before giving the cashier lady her card. We thanked her and took our bags, I looked at Iggy "why did you do that?"

"I broke your leg, I have to make it up somehow so I'm coming round with you all day and whatever you want I'm buying for you and I mean anything" "Iggy it's fine honestly you don't have to, I've already forgiven you" "well I don't care I'm doing it so deal with it sweetie" I rolled my eyes and walked into the next store.

After around 3 hours of shopping we decided to get some lunch. We went to the food court, we went to Del Taco and I ordered a regular taco with a strawberry lemonade, I know it's not much but what that pap said really got to me ya know? I mean I know I'm healthy and I'm not fat, I mean I don't think I am, am I? But regardless whatever I think it's still gonna get to me at least a little.

I told my mom my order as did everyone else "are you sure that's all you want honey?" "yeah yeah mom I'm not hungry" she gave me a suspicious look and was about to speak before I cut her off "just because you had an eating disorder doesn't mean I have one ok!? I'm not like you so stop thinking it! you know what just forget it, I'm going home" I said before grabbing my crutches and walking as fastly as I could, I heard people calling my name but I just ignored them until I felt small arms wrapped around my waist.

I turned around and saw Ray standing there, tears in her eyes and her arms wrapped tightly around me "Please don't go Leah, I love you and so does Allie and everyone else, please don't go" she said starting to cry "baby don't worry I'm coming back, when you get home I promise i'll be there waiting for you ok?" "you promise?" "I promise" I assured my little sister. Just then I heard footsteps and looked up to see Allie, Bea and Perrie.

"You ok honey?" Perrie said sweetly "I'm fine Perrie" "babe you're clearly not fine" Bea said "yep you don't look it" Allie confirmed "can you all just go back to the table please?" they all nodded and started to walk away "Perrie?" she turned around "yeah sweetie?" "can we talk? like outside privately?" "Sure thing honey" we slowly walked to the elevators and sat down in the corner of them. Well as best as I could with a broken leg anyway.
