In The Woods

We pulled up on the street that matched the address that Xen gave me. As we inched closer to her house, we noticed several police cars and yellow police tape surrounding her house. I look over at Xen and she looked pretty scared but you could see that hint of sadness. "We're gonna have to go buy you a new wardrobe. They probably already took yo clothes and everything you own as an item to investigate."

She looked over at me and nodded her head and leaned against the window. "We gonna get you a new look first cause they most likely got yo face all over the news."

She scrunched up her nose and tilted her head in confusion. "What do you mean change my look?"

"Dye your hair, get you a couple tattoos, whatever you want. We just can't risk you getting recognized."

She nodded her head and about 2 minutes later we pulled up to a hair salon. Shorty changed her hair from blonde to black. She got some pale as skin and she got all black clothes on too. This bitch look emo as fuck. She still cute tho.

-small time skip-

We pulled up to the mall and pulled up our hoods so it would be harder to recognize us. We walking in and immediately headed into Zumiez. I told her to get whatever she wanted since she literally doesn't have anything and I got the money to pay for it either way. She picked out some adidas sweatpants and some low top black vans. She got a pair of sunglasses that were like black and triangular. They looked weird but cool at the same time.

After we walked out of Zumies, a girl about 12 or 13 came up to us and asked me for a picture. I smiled and quickly took the picture so people wouldn't notice I was there. Xen just kept her head down the whole time, probably trying to keep herself from being noticed. We didn't know if the police were looking for her yet but we decided to be safe just in case.

We walked into a few other stores and by the time we were done she had 2 pairs of shoes, a pair of sunglasses, a dad cap, 15 pairs of underwear, 6 bras, 6 pairs of jeans, 3 pairs of sweatpants, 2 hoodies, a jacket and 12 t-shirts. I told her to get more but she refused and said that she felt bad for making me spend so much on her. In reality I only spent like $1500 so it wasn't that much but I didn't want her to feel bad so I just let her do whatever. I was getting hungry so I asked her if she wanted something to eat and she only responded with a nod. She hasn't been speaking much during this whole trip.

"What you thinking about? You barely spoke the whole time we were here so wassup?" She just looked at me for a few seconds before looking at her feet. "I don't know. I've just never had this kind of pressure before. It's stressful. And of course I'm also still upset about what I saw and what I had to do."
I nodded, letting her know that I understood and that she didn't need to go into detail.

We left the mall and pulled up to chick fil a. We both got chicken sandwiches and talked while we ate. After we finished, we pulled up to the guy that always does mine and Jah's tattoos. "Wassupppp Ikaboddddd" I yelled into his house. "Oh shit wassup ski. Haven't seen you around in a hot minute. You getting another tat?"

I shake my head and look over at Xen. "Nah we here to get shorty a face tat. She been wanting to change up her look so i decided to take her to the best."

He chuckled and nodded his head. "aight come over here and I'll get you all set up." He said directing his attention towards Xen. She looks at me nervously before following him to one of the rooms that had all of his equipment and a comfortable chair that leaned back and everything. I followed behind her so I could get a good view of that fat ass- I'm just playing. I followed them and watched her show him a picture of what she wanted. I played around on my phone the whole time so I wouldn't be bored.
