Chapter 10 - A Girl's 'Day'

Either Tara lived very close by, or I just spent way too much time in my room getting ready because Jake literally had to come upstairs to come get me and let me know Tara was over. Not gonna lie, I did look good though. I guess that was a priority to me, but being on time should've been it.

I walked down the stairs behind Jake, Tara waiting at the bottom of the staircase. "Hi, I'm sorry. I didn't realize the time went by so quickly." I went to hug Tara. "No, no you're good. I've only been here for a few minutes."

I couldn't tell if I liked Tara as a friend just yet. I mean, I was jealous of her because she had Jake. But there was no way I was going to mess that up. Plus my mind changed every time I saw Colby. "I'm ready to go." I smoothed out my shirt and awkwardly play with my shoes.

"Alright, you girls have fun. I'll see you guys soon." Jake seemed to be shoving us out of the house. That was a little weird, but if there was a reason, I'm sure Tara was in on it too.

Tara smiled at me as we walked out the door. "I love you car!" My hand brushed the hood as I walked into the passenger side of her car. It was pink with pink and white checkers, and had a custom 'tyummy' license plate. "It's very L.A."

She giggled, "Ha, yeah. Thanks. It's a little..extra." I mean she wasn't wrong. Tara turned on the radio, as it played 'Truth Hurts by Lizzo'. That song always made me laugh for some reason.

-time skip-

We pulled into the parking lot of the mall. "Wow, malls in Los Angeles are huge compared to Miami malls." I stood in amazement.

"Oou, girl. You're gonna love it here. But I have to take you to one of my favorite stores because you're gonna need something for tonight." She grabbed her little pink purse with pink fur on it and shut the car door.

"What exactly do I need?" I grinder my teeth. I didn't know if I should be concerned or excited. I barely knew Tara. I mean, I barely knew anybody.

"Come on, let's go." She tugged my arm. "Hey, I know how to walk." I joked. "But do you though?"

-Tara's POV-

You know, I've only been to a few Traphouse parties. But let me tell you- they're insane. Sometimes shit goes down, more like every time. I was super excited to get Violet something to wear tonight though. I'm sure she had plenty of cute options in her room, but tonight was all about her. I mean, it was mentioned earlier but this party might be one of the most exciting things that she's done in a while. Then again, I don't know her super well.

I brought Violet to my favorite store. They had a ton of really nice dresses, but they also had some pretty rad clothing too. Either way, you could wear any of it to a party or a club, and you'd still be able to get in.

"What are we doing? What is this for?" Violet looked at me like she's never been to a store like this.

"Okay, well I'm not technically supposed to spoil this for you. I don't know how they expect me not to do this since I brought you here. But Jake and Sam want to throw a party at the Traphouse for you tonight so you can get to know everyone better and meet some people who drop by a lot."

"Oh really? I thought you guys were kidding about that. I mean the house can definitely withstand a party-many parties. But what am I supposed to even wear? I bet none of this is going to look good on me."

I pulled out an oversized black "Misfits" t-shirt, black thigh high boots, and a thick black choker. "Here go try this on."

"No way, there's no way I could pull that off. That's not even my style." Violet hesitantly looked at the outfit.

"Just do it, I bet you'll look great." I really wanted her to try this outfit on. Traphouse parties weren't about wearing cute flowery dresses. Most of the people wore skin tight dresses and chains.

-Violet's POV-

This is insane. I'm not gonna lie, I kind of like the outfit that Tara picked out. It for sure wasn't really my style, but it was LA. I just had to get used to it.

I slipped on the shirt, boots and the choker. "Damn, she's good at this whole style thing." Who am I kidding? Tara always looked great. I walked out of the dressing room feeling like a grunge-type model.

"You look amazing. I didn't think you were going to look THAT good in it." Tara's reaction seemed super genuine. "I think you should get it. It's so LA, and it'll be perfect for the party."

"Really? You think so?" I still wasn't super set, but maybe I should just go for it. Screw I'll do it. "I'll get it."

We went to the register to check out the items and decided to hang out at the mall for a few more hours. Hanging out with Tara was actually super fun. She was super nice and she treated me the whole day. I felt bad about it, but I'll get her back.

Author's Note:

I guess this chapter is a little longer. I had a visual and an idea for the outfit that Violet is going to be wearing for the party tonight at the Traphouse. I'll load it into the next chapter if it decides to load. Stay tuned for the next part!!
