"Do you think this will look good on me?" I ask, holding up a long sleeved red and white striped shirt.
"Yass and I know just what will look good with that!" CC exclaims, grabbing my wrist and dragging me with him.
I flinch in fear and pain when he grabs my wrist but he doesn't notice.
We reach the other end of the shop where the skinny jeans are. He pulls out a black pair that has lace sewn over the holes and grabs my hand this time. He drags me to the shoe section and grabs me a pair of chunky high heel boots. He hands me the boots and I squeal with delight when I see them closely.
They were black and studded with silver spikes and had silver chains hanging from the actual heel part.
Then I look at the size and put them back before grabbing a smaller size.
He grabs me by the hand again and drags me to the changing rooms.
"Go in, try em on and come out and show me," he replies, pushing me towards the change rooms.
I walk into a change room and shut the door before starting to undress.
CC's Pov
As I sit down on the lounge chairs waiting for Alex to try on the clothes, I text Jinxx asking if he would know why she flinched earlier.
Jinxx: well where on her arm did you grab her?
Me: her wrist...why, what's wrong?
Jinxx: well this is only a guess but she might have hurt herself there
Me: but how would have she?? She doesn't look to be the sporty type
Jinxx: no not that type of hurt...she might self harm
CC: ooooh....but why would she do it, I mean wouldn't that hurt?
Jinxx: I dunno but look don't ask her about it...wait till you guys get home then let me try and talk to her...
CC: ok...bye take care see you soon
Jinxx: ok you too buddy
I sigh and close my phone, putting it in my jean's front pocket. I stand up and start to pace trying to think of why she would self harm before I am broken out of my thoughts by the sound of heels clacking on the wooden floors. I look up and find Alex dressed in the whole outfit that I gave her. It fits.
'Damn she is so short,even in heels!' I think amusedly.
"What do you think?" She asks timidly.
"You look gorgeous little sister," I reply, smiling gently at her.
"Thanks big brother," she replies, a faint smile tracing her full lips.
I notice her lips are very similar to Andy's.
"Your welcome. Now go get changed, we still got more shopping to do!" I exclaim brightly, once again pushing her towards the changing rooms.
She chuckles lightly going back into the same change room that she came out of.
I sit back down on the soft, black leather couch and wait for her.
Five minutes later and she walks out of the change room in her original outfit and walks over to me.
"Do you want anything else from here before we leave?" I ask kindly, standing up from the couch.
"Yea I wanna get some more jeans and band shirts," she mumbles lightly, looking towards the floor shyly.
"Alright, lets go have a looksie then," I reply smiling whilst keeping in mind what Jinxx said about her possibly self harming and gently grabbing her hand and leading her back over to the jean section of the Hot Topic store.
She picks out another pair of the same jeans I picked out for her and then she grabs some camouflage jeans and some black, skinny ripped jeans that are ripped at the knee.
She shyly looks up at me and smiles before taking my hand this time and leading me over to the band shirt section.
She picks out a BOTDF tank top, two Black Veil Brides shirts and a OM&M long sleeved shirt.
"Wait here I gotta run and get something," she replies hurriedly before dashing off leaving me standing in the middle of the store.
I decide to get myself some band shirts whilst waiting for her to come back. I pick out a Kiss shirt a Guns and Roses shirt and a Nickel Back shirt.
She comes running back with two jackets in her arms.
"Can't forget these," she pants breathlessly whilst holding up the two jackets.
One is a black, denim jacket and the other is a black, leather jacket.
"I agree," I chuckle deeply, both of us heading towards the checkouts.
After we finish shopping in Hot Topic and Target, we head towards the nearest cafe and order a drink and a cake or in her case an ice cream cup. We sit down at a window booth, me sitting in front of her facing her.
"Are you enjoying today so far?" I ask curiously, taking a sip of my Americano.
"Yea, today was fun," she replies smiling a small smile then taking a small sip of her minty flavored hot chocolate.
"Well it's not over yet," I reply enthusiastically, taking a bite of my custard tart cake thing.
"Really?!" She exclaims, a light returning to her eyes.
"Really," I answer taking a sip of my coffee.
She smiles a big smile and looks down at the table.
I get the feeling that this girl loves shopping but is too afraid to show it.
Ah well hopefully I'll bring her out of her shell, after all that is what big brothers do to help their siblings.
