Lie To Me. ♡ 5sos Fanfic

Chapter 4

"Can you hold this for me?" she snickers, "k thanks" throwing all her clothes options onto Calum.

"Do you really need to try on that many clothes?" Calum sighs, "this is over kill Monica."

"Yea yea yea— of course I need to try on all of them. Now be delicate with them." Monica says.

I scan through all the clothes until one catches my eye. I pull it off the rack and study the lace trim on this velvet black dress.

"Seems dark. Perfect for your soulless complexion. Try it on." Monica sticks her nose into my train of thoughts.

"I think it would look lovely on you." Luke smiles.

Ashton puts his hands on my back and drags my ass to a dressing room.

I entered the room— closing the curtains behind me. I take my clothes off and put the skin tight dress on. I look at myself in the mirror and noticed how my bust is popping out.

"I don't know guys. This dress is little bit too scandalous for me" I shout behind the curtain.

"Girl if you don't bring your ass out of here." Monica comes into the dressing room and pulls me out.

"See that wasn't soo bad now was it." Monica continues, "look it even looks nice... for a burial but hey girl you do you."

Luke's eyes are widen as his eyes try to find something to focus on.

"You look beautiful," Ashton seems speechless.

"Should I get it?" I question as I look in the long mirror. The dress hugs all my curves in the best possible way.

All three boys put both thumbs up and smiled. I smiled back at them and headed back into the dressing room.

"Your total will be 346.86 m'am." I pull out the cash my dad gave me and hand it to the lady.

"Looks like you have a completely new wardrobe" Ashton takes my bags as we all head out to the cars.

-

Today was utterly exhausting. Sighing, I fall back onto the bed and curl up into a ball.

Mom I miss you

I get up and prepare myself for a shower. Walking to the bathroom, I grab my towel and change of clothes. I turn the shower on making sure the water is at the right temperature. Stepping inside, I dip my head back, wetting my long hair. I close my eyes and let the sound of the shower surround my ears.

"Mom I need new shoes." I sit on the couch, putting my book bag on the floor.

"I'll see what I could do mija. Money is a little bit tight this month and rent is due." she sighs

"Look," I take off my shoe and put my finger in the hole, "it has a hole."

"Maybe you'll be able to fit in my shoes." My mother gets up and fetches her shoes, "here try them on."

I slide my foot into the shoe, "they fit!"

Getting up, I hug my mom, "thanks"

I open my eyes as the water creates a veil over my head. My mother would've kill me spending the amount I did today. I quickly lather up some soap and cleanse myself of impurities. Rinsing myself, I turn the shower off and wrap myself into a towel. I'm not looking forward to tomorrow.
-

This continuous ringing invades my ears. Ugh.
I put my pillow over my head and cover my ears.
It's no use, the badgering won't stop. I groan and sit up, turning my dreaded alarm clock off. Getting up, I get a brand new set of clothes out and headed to the bathroom to brush my teeth. As I arrive, the bathroom seems to be preoccupied by another person.
I knock, "are you almost done? I have to get ready for school too yunno."
The door opens and Ashton appears.
"Looks like someone isn't a morning person." Ashton snickers as he brushes his teeth. I roll my eyes and give him the finger.

"Okay okay relax," he raises his hands in surrender and spits in the sink, "I'm done, you may go in your highness." He rinses his toothbrush and bows.

I slam the door shut and go about my business. After I'm done, look in the mirror as I get dressed. This shirt doesn't really go well with this skirt. I take it off and switch it to another shirt.

"There.. perfect." I smile and begin to curl my hair.

Once I'm done, I race downstairs for breakfast.
"Good morning Ms. Irwin." I greeted her.

"Oh dear, please call me Jaime." she hands me a plate of food.

"Thanks Jaime." I smile and sit down with my plate of food.

"So are you excited for your first day of school?" My dad makes an appearance and kisses Jaime on the forehead.

"No not really," I bite into my buttered toast, "can I stay home?"

"Absolutely not," my dad takes a sip of his coffee, "nice try tho."

"Can I play the mourning card or is it too late?" I huff.

"Sweetheart.." my dad trails off.

"Dad. I'm fine. Promise." I take a sip of my orange juice, "don't act like you care all of a sudden"

"Ellie I— " he gets cut off by Ashton running into the kitchen.

"Rise and shine people let's get a move on it." Ashton kisses his mother's cheek and stuffs a toast in his mouth, "Zoelle it's time to go"

I get my bag off my seat and follow Ashton out to the jeep. We get into the car and I buckle up.

"R chu weady four chur seenior year?" Ashton voice sounds muffled due to him trying to chew and swallow the toast."

"Huh?" I raise an eye brown.

He swallows, "my bad. Are you ready for your senior year?"

"I'm ready for it to be over with." I rest my head on the window.

"Well that's one way of thinking." Ashton chuckles, "alright let's go."

Ashton puts the car in drive and darts out to the embodiment of hell I call school.
