I button my shirt up and flatten it down, getting emotional because nothing that I put on fits me anymore. I huffed looking up at the ceiling, my shirt won't stay button up. My jeans won't button. I didn't mean to gain all this weight, it just happened.
After the break up all I did was sleep, eat and cry. And there's consequences for that.
I took off the too small clothes and through them somewhere. My room was junky from all the clothes I tried on.
I put on some tights and a tank top before walking to the basement, where Lauren usually is. "Lauren!" I yelled opening the door. I wasn't supposed to go in there.
Lauren has told me repeatedly to not go in here. I would grow curious from time to time, but I did what was told.
"Lauren are you in here?" I asked stepping on a step. "Look I'm not going to the dinner....I can't fit any of my clothes and I feel terrible" I say honestly.
"Lauren?"
I walked fully downstairs but stopped on the last step. I heard a crash down here. My heart sped up. For some reason I was becoming nervous.
"Lauren?" I looked around the corner to see Lauren, she was sitting on a metal table with nothing but bra and panties on.
"Lauren" I walked to her. "Lauren!" She didn't answer nor looked at me. "Lauren why are you ignoring me" She didn't do anything. I placed both hands on her shoulder and shook her violently. "LAUREN!" Still nothing.
Rolling my eyes I turned away. "You know what fuck you! You're being an ass" I turned away from her. "Wait" I turned back to her. "I'm sorry I was thinking"
"That doesn't give you the right to ignore me"
"You're right and I'm sorry. I want do it again, I promise" she gives me a tight smile. "Ok well I came down here to say that I'm not going to the dinner"
"Why not?"
"Because I'm fat and none of my clothes fit me"
"You look pretty fit to me" I looked down. "No" she chuckles "you can burrow some of my clothes come on" she pulls me up the stairs an as we stepped through the door. And instant rush of coldness went through my body.
"You ok?" Lauren asks. "Yeah I'm fine"
She lends me an outfit. I thanked her and got dressed. Once I was done Lauren lead me outside.
I looked around to see all of our neighbors were outside. Which is odd because none of our neighbors would be out here at the same time.
There were kids playing and woman were fixing up their garden. Since when did we even have gardens?
They all stopped what they were doing and looked at us. With tight smiles they waved at us.
"Good afternoon Lauren and Y/n"
"Hi Mrs, Brooks!" Lauren says very chirpy" I furrowed my eyebrows Lauren and Mrs. Brooke hate each other. I smiled at her.
Lauren hands me the car keys. "What are you doing?" I asked "you're driving"
"Lauren Stop making fun of me you know I can't drive" she squeezes her eyes shut "right. I forgot" she gets in the car and squeezes the steering wheel.
I looked outside to see that everyone was still waving at us in sync.
Once we made it to the restaurant we met up with Normani, Dinah, and Ally. "Hi guys!" We sat down. The food was already on the table. "Are we that late that couldn't order ourselves?" I chuckled.
"This is your favorite...you order it all the time" I look down to see it was macaroni and cheese. This is my least favorite thing to eat. I went to grab my fork but then I noticed everyone was looking down at their plates.
Everyone.
Are they praying or?
"What are you guys doing?" I asked Normani looks up at me "we're letting the food calm down Y/....." Normani stares at me. "Y/n" Ally says.
"Right"
Did she forget my name?
I bite into the food and cringe. It tasted like plastic. Placing the fork down I stood up. "Where are you going?" Lauren asks. "Outside, I need air"
"Do you want me to come with you?" I shook my head. "No I need to be alone" I say walking out. Why is everyone acting so weird?
My phone rings as soon as I stepped foot outside. I look down to see Lauren calling me.
What does she want? I just left out.
I answer the call.
"Hello?"
"Hey y/n what are you doing?"
"What? Lauren why are you asking that question, I was just talking to you seconds ago"
"What are you talking about y/n I'm at the mall with the girls. I was calling to tell you that we might be late for dinner" I felt a hand on my shoulder I look back to see Lauren. My eyes widen.
"Are you ok y/n?" Lauren asked. "Hello?" I heard Lauren through the phone. I hanged up the phone and shoved my phone into me pocket. "I have to go"
"What? Go? But you haven't ate your food?" I quickly took off running. Going straight to the mall. I ran for 3 minutes and turned a corner only to bump into a neighborhood. Which was weird because this is where the mall is supposed to be at.
Everyone who was outside waved at me. I quickly backed away and ran in the other direction.
So far I've ran into different neighborhoods and everyone was doing the same. It was like everyone was programmed to that.
I made it back to my neighborhood. I open the door to see Lauren.......
