"come on, I promise you'll love it!" whined nick and dragged me to Matt's car. "for the millionth time: I don't like shopping and never will!" I yelled absolutely done with his whining. "please just hop in!" said Matt irritated cause he wants to go.

After about 15 minutes I finally gave in, nick gave me puppy eyes.

Those bloody eyes will be the death of me.

Now I'm sitting in the very back of Matt's van cause I'm antisocial. I never even wanted to go in the first place, so why not be grumpy? "I'm hungry can we go get food?" asks nick scrolling trough insta. He comes across a photo of me and likes it.

I smile, suddenly not grumpy anymore. He liked my fucking photo!!

We go through a McDonald's drive through and eat our food on the way to the mall. After a bit panicking - cause we almost got a speeding ticket- parks Matt his van/car. I jump out and put my phone in my pocket. "where do yall wanna go?" I ask walking ahead of them.

"I want to go to a music store, my radio broke down yesterday" says Matt pouting. "I'm going to that clothing store" says nick pointing to an expensive looking shop. "I'll go with Matt, see ya!" yells Chris loudly. A lot of people stop what they're doing to stare at us.

"you're coming with me!" nick grabs my arm and yanks me to the store. Nick immediately goes to the sweater section. I notice they sell brands like Gucci and Balenciaga. This is not for me that's certain.

I grew up in a poor family, so we could not afford clothes like these. We would buy things second hand to save money. We also had barely enough money to buy food, I basically looked like a stick back then.

"have you found something to your liking sir?" asks a blonde woman with bright red lipstick. "i'm here for my friend, I don't intend to buy anything" the lady frowns but nods her head. "alright, have a nice day sir" she says as she walk away.

"what do you think?" says nick holding a pastel blue vest with nitted flowers on. "it's...nice?" nick huffs and puts it back. After what feels like an hour he's finally done and goes to pay the clothes.

"let's go to that store!" yells nick dragging me to a dior store. Oh no.
I look around the store and smile, all the clothes are beautiful and give off a 40s kinda vibe. I walk around looking at all of the clothing and accessories with probably heart eyes. "I knew you'd love this store"

He walks off laughing. I gasp finding a beautiful dress in the woman's section. I don't even know how I got here. I look at the price tag and almost pass out. 450 dollar! I mean what did I expect, this is a dior store? I walk away and go to the man section, I look trough a rack of summer clothes and find a silky blood red blouse. I again look at the price tag: 120 dollar. No thank you.

I sigh and walk further, a couple minutes later I find a dark blue skirt with a matching Grey sweater. 1500 dollar. I quickly put it away and take out my phone from my back pocket. I got a message from Chris saying: 'Matt found a cool speaker' with a picture of a minion speaker. I giggle and send a photo of nick looking trough a rack of soft vests.

I wait for nick at the entrance of the store and after maybe 10 minutes he comes with 2 full bags. "wow you spend a lot of money in there" nick laughs and hands me one of his bags. I peek inside and see one of the soft vests in there. "I knew you'd buy one"

We enter a vintage shop and go separate ways. In one hand I'm holding a already full basket and in my other hand I'm holding a white skirt. "oh that's cute, I've never seen you wear anything like that" says nick smiling.

"I love dresses and skirts, but I never wear them cause of insecurities" nick rolls his eyes and puts the skirt in my basket. "the fitting rooms are that way come on!" he grabs my arm and leads me to the fitting rooms in the back of the store. "what- but-" he shushes me and pushes me in one of the fitting rooms.

I changed in the white skirt and looked in the little mirror in the fitting room. "I don't know, I don't thi-" before I could finish, peaked nick inside. "you look pretty" says nick hyping me up.

We eventually leave the store with again two bags full. "hey losers" says Chris walking up to us. He's holding the minions speaker, Matt's holding a shoe box and a bag of candy. "how much did you guys spent!?" asks Matt pointing at our bags.

"we have each 2 bags, we didn't spend that much...i think"

+ a month later {Christmas} +

"alright these are for y/n!" Chris gives me 4 presents. "you guys didn't have to-" Matt shakes his head and nick goes on this rant about Christmas and presents. Growing up my parents couldn't buy me presents for Christmas, birthdays, and parties. So when I get a present I'm very surprised and grateful.

"open them!" I open the first present, it's neatly wrapped in expensive looking paper. In it is a door bag. "what!? This is a joke, right?" I open the bag and look inside to find the dress, the blouse and the sweater-skirt outfit from the dior store we went to a month ago. "thank you so much, I cannot thank you enough for giving me this" I say looking directly at nick.

"how do you know I bought you this?" he asks. "you were with me in the store, you probably saw me looking at these clothes" nick nods laughing. I open the second present and find a beanie in it saying 'baddie'. I laugh and shake my head. "thank you" I say looking at chris. I know them too well. I open the third present and find a necklace in it. "it matches with my ring" says Matt showing his ring with the same diamond in it. "it's beautiful" I say putting it on.

"mom and dad also bought you a present" I gulp fighting against the tears that are threatening to fall. I cry after opening it, they bought me a guitar.

Nick hugs me calming me down. I've always wanted a guitar, I never got one cause my parents thought they're too expensive and said I would never make it in the music industry. My dream job has always been being a entertainer of some sorts. This means a lot to me.

"do you like it?" asks Mary Lou smiling. "I love it, you have no idea how much this means to me. I feel so much more believed in" Mary Lou gives me a big hug and wipes my tears away.

Best. Christmas. ever.
