"Let's go girls, come on
I'm going out tonight, I'm feelin' alright
Gonna let it all hang out
Want to make some noise, really raise my voice
Yeah, I want to scream and shout
No inhibitions, make no conditions
Get a little outta line
I ain't gonna act politically correct
I only want to have a good time
The best thing about being a woman
Is the prerogative to have a little fun and
Oh, oh, oh, go totally crazy, forget I'm a lady
Men's shirts, short skirts
Oh, oh, oh, really go wild yeah, doin' it in style
Oh, oh, oh, get in the action, feel the attraction
Color my hair, do what I dare
Oh, oh, oh, I want to be free yeah, to feel the way I feel
Man! I feel like a woman!"
Amanda's Pov:
Mom and I sing along as Shania Twain plays on the radio boosting my self-esteem. Now this was what I needed. A few hours away from Edward. This morning when I woke up to see his beautiful face beside mine I couldn't decide if I wanted to punch him or kiss him, so I picked neither. Stupid vampire complicating life. "So sweetie how was your date with Harry? Is he a nice boy? When can I meet him?" I fight the tears that want to escape at the sound of his name. Damn you heart. Why'd you have to go and fall in love with both of them. "Mom...Can you fall in love with more than one person?"
Her eyes widen in surprise before she volumes the radio down and sighs, "Love yes, but be in love with...No sugar cube. God made you to love someone with your heart, body and soul. That heart of yours can only fall in love with one person. Your heart already has someones name written all over it. You just need to take the time to read it, or maybe listen. Listen to what your heart is telling you. Who's name does it whisper? Who does your heart cry out to every night while you're asleep? Only one name sweetie. Only one person to rule your heart." Tears fall freely now and I don't bother stopping them. Listen to my heart? How can I do that when I can't even hear myself at times?
"Oh sweetie. I know it hurts," Mom says parking the car in front of a store before unbuckling and pulling me into her lap. "The pain will go away eventually. I'm so sorry sweetie." We stay that way till i'm all teared out and Mom has to pee. "So how about we shop till we get those boys out of that pretty head of yours?" I smile halfheartedly and follow after her. I forgot how fun it could be to just relax and shop with Mom. She has already a basket full. Oh goodness. When either mom or I am in a bad mood she tends to go overboard shopping for clothes. To her clothes is a womans best friend.
"Hey, need any help?" I turn away from the pair of shredded jeans I was looking at to see a tall guy before me with blonde hair and brown eyes in a Walmart uniform. I shake my head., "No thanks." I have enough boy problems thank you. "Are you sure? I mean I could watch you try on clothes and let you know if they're worth buying. He reaches a hand out to touch my hair and glare, slapping it away. "I said no asshole." The brown eyes of his harden and I fight the fear down. "Listen bitch I sai-" "Leave her alone dude. She's not interested." I turn and freeze. It's Harry. Oh no, why couldn't it of been anyone but him? Blonde doesn't bother looking at Harry. "Beat it kid if you know what's good for you." I open my mouth to say shit to this creep, but before I can a fist lands on the side of Blondies cheek and he falls to the ground. He gets up, glares at us and walks away, rubbing his cheek. That's what the douche gets. "Are you okay Amanda?"
I turn to him slowly and nod, "Yeah. I'm fine. I had it you know." He smirks. His greenish blue eyes twinkling, "I know but I figured you might like a fancy knight in shining armor to save you." I smile, "What armor?" He looks down at himself and curses, "Knew there was something I was forgetting." I laugh, forgetting for a moment that i'm heartbroken over him. But the face he makes when I laugh makes me remember. I broke his along with mine. "Can we talk?" He ask unsurely, tucking his hands into his pockets. I nod, "Of course Harry." He sighs before speaking, "What's so great about him?" I freeze, okay. That wasn't what I was expecting. "What?" He rolls his eyes, "You heard me. What's so great about him? Why did you pick him over me? Was I not good enough? Did you...did you want more? Was there something I could of done to make you stay?"
Tears spring to my eyes and I shake my head, "You're perfect Harry. Everything I could of asked for, but...it was always him. If...If i'd never met him. If i'd never left for that short while I think, no I know, I could love you with everything I have. You could of been my everything Harry. I know that, but I did meet him. And I did fall in love with him. So completely that i'm lost without him. I'm so sorry Harry. I never meant to hurt you. Never. I could of loved you. I know. I'm so sorry. So sorry." Tears fall and I silently curse myself. Why do I keep crying? It's pissing me off to show any signs that i'm weak.
"Hey, it's okay Amanda. I get it." He wraps his arms around me, pulling me to his chest. Letting my tears stain his shirt. "I know you love him. I just...I don't know. I just felt I had to ask before I could even try moving on. To make sure that there wasn't any way you might change your mind and let him go. That you'd pick me after you realized there's nothing great about that douche." I laugh and punch him weakly, "I already know he's a douche jerk." He chuckles and releases me, "Can we still be friends Amanda? I'd rather you as a friend if I can't have you as a love." I smile and nod, "Of course Harry. I need you to be there to let me know if i'm being to easy on Edward."
He nods seriously, "I will take the job. Sounds like a deadly one I might not make out alive, but i'll take that chance." Rolling my eyes I turn and spot Mom watching us curiously. I smile, grab Harry's arm and lead him to Mom. "Mom, this is Harry. My best friend." Mom smiles approvingly and turns to a blushing, curly haired Harry. "It's nice to finally meet you. Amanda talks about you all the time." 'Lies' I mouth to him and he smirks. Well now that Harry and I have fixed this problem I just need to fix the Edward and Amanda problem I think with a sigh. I'm gonna make that vampire douche's life a living hell. I smirk at my thoughts, and wave goodbye to Harry as he goes to his parents and Mom and I head out toward Home.
