I See Fire (Ed Sheeran ff)

Four

Oh well. All the stuff came up again. Dad, mom, school ... and all the comments about me. Deep inside I knew that it wasn't my fault, but if you hear it everyday, you start believing it slowly. Even if you know better. There's a point where you can't just ignore it anymore. You just break down and hope that it'll be over. The worst part was that there was this guy ... you know, I like him, maybe even more than just like him. But he was the one who ... no, I can't think about that now. I never told anyone. I couldn't stop overthinking, there was so much pressure. I was about to pull out a tiny box when Tia came in again. Everyone has scars, mine are just visible. She held a makeup bag in her hand and told me to sit on the little chair in front of my desk. My room was pretty small, but there was enough space for a big bed, a closet, a little desk and a shelf. All my furniture was white because I thought it would fit every colour. My pillow and my blanket had pastel roses on them, and there were other pillows in pastel colours all over the bed. I love pillows. Especially pastel ones. I saw so many rooms in white and pastel on tumblr, Instagram and YouTube, and I liked it so much that I decided to make my room look like that.

"Close your eyes!" said Tia while spilling cosmetics over my desk.

I did what she said and she started putting concealer on my eye bags and some red spots. Then she powdered my face a bit. Next, she did my eyes and my lips. After 15 minutes she said :

"Open your eyes now and look!"

She held a mirror in front of me. I saw myself and was astonished. My lips were nude pink, almost pastel, and my eyeshadow was in form of a neutral smokey eye in brown shades. I still looked very natural. I took the mirror.

"Do you like it ?"

"Are you kidding me ? I love it !! I didn't know you could do that !"

"Neither did I! Glad you love it." Tia giggled.

"It's my turn now! Sit here!" I said and stood up.

I did the same things she did. When it came to the eyes, I decided to do some cat eyes. Finished ! She opened her eyes again and smiled.

"Looks amazing Ellie! Thanks so much !"

"No prob."

"What about your clothes ?"

"Um... I was about to go out like this."

Tia was wearing a denim skirt and some flat white sandals with rhinestones to her crop top.

"Ellie, it's gonna be hot. Let me have a look into your closet." she said.

I agreed and opened it. She chose a black crop top, hot pants and a white cardigan.

"Put that on!" she said.

I changed and while I did that, Tia brought my black floral boots. I put them on too and we turned to the mirror.

"We look good!" said Tia. I nodded and added:

"It's gonna be great!"

My mom called us, so we came to the door. She was wearing jeans, a black jacket, a white shirt and black ballerinas.

"Are you ready girls ?"

"Yep. Don't forget the tickets mom!"

"How could I ? You remembered me everyday since three weeks honey." she laughed.

We took our phones, some money, Tia's camera and the keys and left. As soon as we were in the car, I got this weird feeling again. I put on my seatbelt and tried to smile, which looked odd, so I stopped.

Elinnya's eyes :)

Tia's eyes :)

(For those who are interested :P credit to the owners of these pictures !! I changed the eye colour of the first one. They do not look exactly like the pics, it's just an example 😄)
