New York

Chapter 2 Part 2

I wake up the next morning and look at the clock on my wall; 11:00am

I go into my bathroom take a shower, brush my teeth, and wash my face. I walk to my closet to decide what to wear. After fifteen minutes of finally trying to decide what to wear I end up going with a minnie mouse crop top, black ripped skinnny jeans, high top black converse, and an all black drawstring backpack.

Once I'm dressed I head back into the bathroom to do my hair and make up.

All I do is straighten and feather the bangs of my long brown- almost black- hair.

I go back into the main part of my bedroom and sit at my vanity. I stare at myself in the mirror trying to figure out what makeup I want to put on today. After five minutes of trying to decide on that I end up just going with my usual. Cover up under my eyes, slightly filling in my eyebrows, a tiny and thin wing of eyliner, a few layers of mascara until my lashes look full and long, some powder to set everything, and last but not least some berry pink tinted chapstick. It sounds like a lot more than it actually looks like but whatever. As long as when I'm done I think that I look pretty then I like it.

By this time it is 1:00. That's WAY longer than I usually take. Hmmm? I check my phone for ant texts and realize before I even unlock it that it's actually 2:00pm and start to panic. Brooke and I are supposed to be picking up Taylor right now so that we can all be going to mall to shop for new outfits to wear when we are in New York.

Crap!

Okay whatever if leave right now I can make it to Brooke's and then to Taylor's by 2:30. I rush down the stairs and hug my mom to tell her goodbye.

"Why are you in such a hurry honey?" she seems concered.

"I was supposed to pick up Brooke and Taylor and we had the plan that we would be at the mall by 2:00 and Im late!" She glances at her Micheal Kors watch I got her for Christmas last year to check if I was correct.

"Don't rush while you're driving honey!" she calls after me as I reach the key rack.

"I will. Love you. Bye!" I raising my so that she can hear me.

I walk out of the door and my phone starts to ring.

It's Brooke.

**********

Me: Hey Brooke

Brooke: Hi um Where are you?

Me: Yea I'm so sorry my clock was wrong. I'll be there in a minute I'm getting in the car right now.

Booke: Oh okay, don't rush. See you soon.

Me: I won't I'll be there in a few

Brooke: Okay thanks bye

Me: Bye

***************

I'm so disappointed in myself for being late.

I finally make it to my car and unlock it. I hop into the driver's seat and start the car. After a minute or two of driving I decide to turn the radio on and listen to it for the rest of the ride.

****************

I finally make it to Brooke's house. Everytime I see it, it's more gorgeus than the last.

I honk the horn slightly and she comes out almost immedeatly. She walks over to my car and jumps into thte passenger seat.

We drive to Taylors without any conversation due to the loud music playing in my car.

It takes about 15 minutes and Taylor hops in the back seat and we head for the mall

****************************

We finished our little NY shopping spree (spree is a major understatement)

We packed the entire backseat AND trunk of my car with bags from Deb, Forever 21, Hollister, Amerbercromie, American Aperal, and Aeropostale. And one bag from TopMan since i needed a tie for one of my outfits.

Then we drove to a nail salon that Brooke recommend called LUV and got manicures and pedicures.

I got black, Brooke got blue, and Taylor got purple.

Then we went to Target because we may need some things for our hotel room. So we got water, vitamin water, sanitizer wipes, shampoo and conditioner, other hair products, lotion, extra feminine products, hand sanitizer and I bought myself some ear buds and a new hair brush.

Then we drove over to our local produce shop to get snacks for the trips.

Next to all this it was already 8pm and we all still needed to pack. So I took them home and drove to my house. I go to unlock the door so I can get all of my bags from the car and found my mom sitting on the floor with her knees to her chest crying.

I rush over to her. Last time I seen her like this since the night my father died.........

"What's wrong mom?" I say as I kneel down next to her.

"It...It's Daniel...."
