“I’m hungry” I word vomited. I really was and we had no food in the house.
“Me too” Lori said
“Pizza?” asked Violet and we all nodded.
I got up and grabbed my phone. I had missed calls and texts from Jake, I forgot I was supposed to text him when I landed,
Hey, sorry I didn’t text I was so tired. I’ve landed safe and I’m home. Sam’s still in LA with the guys. You ok?
I sent the text to him and rang the pizza place,
“Hey Joe!” I said
“Adi! Where have you been, we haven’t heard from you in so long!”
“I went on a trip to LA, long story”
“The usual?”
“Actually, it’s just three tonight”
“Three? Whose missing?”
“Sam’s still in LA” I realised I was going to have to explain this a lot
“Oh, alright then. So that’s the usual, minus Sam, right?”
“Yeah”
“Okay, I’ll be over in 5”
“Thanks”
I hung up. As I did I noticed Sam’s case in the hallway, I decided to unpack some stuff for her and pick out things to send back over to LA because all she had were the clothes she was wearing. I knew she could probably go to some shops and borrow some of Ash’s shirts but I knew it was going to be difficult to get a lot of clothes all at once, especially since the likelihood of management funding her for that is very slim.
I opened the case and started to take things out and up to her room.
I was halfway through when I found something.
The dress she gave me to wear when we went to meet Emily For the first time.
I pulled it out of the case and sat down on my knees, staring at it.
What was I doing?
Why did I do that? Why did I try to make myself look like this… this… like someone I’m not.
I’m not a girly girl who wears dresses and heels and jewels and lots of make-up. That was Lori.
I wasn’t a girl who dyed her hair a lot, who loved to get piercings and had had sketch books filled with tattoos she wanted when she was older. That was Violet.
I wasn’t outgoing, ready to try new things or spontaneous because that was Sam.
I was just Adi. I wore muscle tees and ripped jeans with Dr. Martins or converse. I was plain and boring. I didn’t die my hair, I couldn’t pull it off, I wasn’t spontaneous, I was afraid of everything, I wasn’t even pretty. I wasn’t ugly but I was just… plain.
I was ordinary.
I was boring.
I felt a tear roll down my cheek and I watched it drop onto the dress. I sniffed and wiped my face. I put the dress back into Sam’s case and stood up, walking to the lounge where I sat and watched the TV.
Lori and Violet were still in Violet’s room.
I hugged my knees to my chest as I sat on the sofa and stared at the TV, not really watching or listening, just focusing on trying not to cry.
“And up next, the scandal that could ruin the careers of the band 5 Seconds of Summer…”
My ears pricked up and I looked at the TV with wide eyes.
Did I hear that right?
