Love Is Not Enough [Complete]

Chapter Twenty Five

2 days has passed and I'm still cooked up in my room.
Tomorrow school reopens and I'm not even ready for it.
After crying my eyes out the day of Bruno's engagement party day I spent the following day locked in my room, I didn't even eat and I only used the bathroom connected to my room. The day after dad forced me to eat and gave me all my books and school bag to prepare since I'm new.
JR said I've got nothing to worry about at school since we'll be taking most classes together.
As if I'd be worried about school, I'm stressing about my life here.

'Knock knock'
I got out of bed and went to open the door since I'm not in a mood to yell “come in”.

"I figured since its school tomorrow you'd wanna go shopping or something", JR said as he stood before me.

"Oh crap, don't even know what to buy since dad already bought my school uniform", I shrugged my shoulders at him.

"You cool with your school bag?", I followed his eyes and landed on the bag dad bought me to carry my school books with. It looked more like a granny's shopper bag.

"What's wrong with it? It looks fine to me", I replied since I was lazy to get up from bed.

"Are you serious? I don't want my sister to be a joke on her first day of school", he said giving me the what the fuck look.

"Okay okay", I rolled my eyes at him.
"let's go then", I stepped out closing the door but then JR stopped me.

"I'm not going with you dressed like that?", he frowned eyeing me up and down.

"What the hell is wrong with you?", I asked as now i was the one giving him the what the fuck look.

"Are you kidding me? Have you looked at yourself?", he placed his hand on his waist like a dramatic woman, which sadly reminded me of Lelo.

"This is what I'm wearing whether you like it or not", I said with confidence then walked passed him.
He grabbed my arm pulling me back to my bedroom.
He pushed me to the mirror so I could see how I'm dressed.
I sighed.
I was dressed in baggy pants and a tank top. My hair was in a really messy bun, which made me look like a stressed woman, even though I was.
I looked down at my shoes and laughed.

"Yeah. Laugh. It's funny because you're the one dressed like a hobo", JR said in a irritated voice. I didn't care, plus my sleepers shoes are more comfortable and I won't take them off.

JR looked at me thinking I'd change my mind but I held my head high. He gave up trying to make me change into nice clothes and we went out.

<><><><>

The drive to the Mall was quiet, it wasn't a uncomfortable silence so it was nice.
When we got to the Mall JR ditched me and met up with his friends, he said I should call him when I was done. He knew I wasn't in a mood for shopping but he decided to leave me. If I had the car keys with me, i would have left him here at the Mall, he was gonna make a plan when he wanted to go home.
It felt so good though, shopping alone. It was a stress relief trying out clothes and getting advices from strangers on what or how to be fashionable. I had no idea why I was buying new clothes since we wear school uniform.
After 2 hours of shopping I texted JR.

Bro, where do you wanna eat?
I was so damn hungry, and since my mind is clear now I wanted to eat meat. I wanted to enjoy my meal without thinking about my problems.

JR- Already ate thank you.
“Seriously?", I thought as I rolled my eyes at the response. We came here together...
Actually, he's the one who forced me to come here, though it helped a lot, but I was hoping atleast he'd have a meal with me.
