Trauma [H.S]

Becky placed her hand on my shoulder "relax, it's over now. You're overthinking. I can practically see the engines working up there in your head. She isn't going anywhere. Besides, I wouldn't have said that if I knew that Harry didn't want to be with her. So thanks to you, our first mission is now complete."

"You're crazy." I said while narrowing my eyes at her.

She gave me a toothy grin, showing off her perfect teeth "for some fun? Of course I'm crazy."

My worry turned into a grin to match hers "oh well, maybe I'm crazy for some fun too."

She removed her hand from my shoulder "of course you are honey. That's why we're going to the party tomorrow!"

I widened my eyes, totally forgetting about that "no I'm not going! Not in a million years! I hate parties. I like fun but not that kind of fun Becky."

Rebecca scrunched her eyebrows "what? Why? Harry he will be there, but our agreement to ghost him still stands so don't worry. You really don't wanna miss the first party of any year. So many fun things happen there! And seriously, what's your definition of fun? Laying in bed and reading books from morning till night?"

Wow she does know me really well.

I shrugged and scoffed "Harry invited me to this party. I told him I don't want to go so I'm not going."

She ran a hand across her face "seriously? You're way crazier than I am."

I smiled "just kidding, he insisted that I come. But only for one party. No more parties after that."

Rebecca squealed and jumped in her place "oh my God that's awesome!! Oh wait you do have plans today then!"

I furrowed my eyebrows, looking at her dumbfounded "no I don't."

She shook her head "as far as I know, you only have hoodies, sweatpants, anything oversized, undergarments and PJs in your suitcase. That's why we are gonna go shopping for something that suits this party. Oh my God I love shopping for dresses!"

I widened my eyes "what! No! I like my clothes and I'm not gonna wear dresses or skirts or anything too tight."

She pouted "you scared of getting out of your comfort zone love? You need to live a little. Don't give a damn about life or what others might think, just for tomorrow night. Please? For me? Pretty please?"

I hesitated for a moment.

Can I really do something like that? Step out of my comfort zone?

Well I've already stepped out when I agreed to go to this party, it wouldn't kill me if I didn't wear an oversized hoodie and some sweatpants for one day.

Right?

I nodded my head before I could chicken out and I got a hug from her as a response.

So here we are. Standing in the middle of a store surrounded with tons of colourful dresses in all sizes and designs.

These are all so beautiful but I don't think any of them are for me.

I can't see myself wearing a dress. I'd feel so weird.

Walking through the aisles as I followed Becky around, I almost crashed into her when she stopped abruptly and held an extremely short red dress that I think my ass would show if I wore that thing.

She turned around to face me and raised her eyebrows "do you like it?"

I gave her a bored look "no, it's too short."
