CHAPTER SEVEN
EMMA’S POV
I woke up to people Laughing and chatting out of my bedroom window. Damn… Shut up!
“Baby Girl… are you awake?”
I rolled over and groaned.
“Please Emma; open the door for me, please?”
I rolled back around and covered my face. I couldn’t… if she found out, she’d be devastated and it would be my entire fault.
“Please Em; I can’t do this if I don’t have you by my side. If you want I’ll postpone until you feel better.”
“What? No!”
“I don’t mind really.”
I quickly jump up and wipe my face, taking a deep breath, telling myself that I could suck it up for two days and I’d be gone again.
“I DON’T MIND, REALLY.”
I opened the door and the relief on her face as she smiled gave me the indication that she was happy I wasn’t going to make her do it.
“I’ll be down in a minute, let me just get ready.”
She squeaked and hugged me.
“Thank you…Thank you! Can I do your hair?”
I smiled and nodded.
“Sure.”
It was actually really good to think about something other than what happened and I hadn’t dressed up in a while so having to do my makeup and hair was fun.
Mom came in then and smiled at us.
“I thought you two were hiding out on me.”
I couldn’t help, but smile.
“I brought you something.”
She came in, closing the door and handed me a dress box.
“What is it?”
“An early birthday present and a peek of what’s to come.”
“Well come on open it!”
I placed it on my bed and pulled the top off to find a beautiful royal blue dress.
“Still your favorite color right?”
I nodded and picked it up.
“Wow, mom it’s the one…”
“Sorry I told mom.”
“Hurry put it on so I can see.”
I went into the bathroom and changed, looking into the mirror. It was tight around the bust, of course, and then flowed into layers of silk chiffon all the way to the ground.
“Finished?”
I turned and saw them peaking through the door.
“Yeah.”
They came in and stood behind me.
“You look beautiful.”
I saw my mom look around and see the bottle of bleach.
“Well I think I better get some shoes on!”
I ran to my closet and took out my black suede wedges with the same color rhinestones as the dress that adorned the wedge part of the heel and put them one. I was just about to grab a pair of earrings when a hand came across, grabbing my diamond studs.
