Chapter 6: The Dresses

Crystal

I took out my phone and called Emily. It had taken all of four weeks for my chest injury to heal and my stomach injury to almost be completely healed. The doctors told me to go easy as not to open up the wound and to come back if I felt dizzy or stuff like that. When I called Emily I told her that the hospital had just released me. After that she begged me to come over and hang up. When I reminded Emily I didn't have my car she said she would come pick me up. I waited outside until she arrived with her car. She got out and ran over to give me a hug. It felt nice to talk to her again. We got into the car and then we started driving to her house.

"Do you want to hang out at the beach for a little?" Emily asked suddenly

"Sure, I don't really have anything else to do."

When we arrived at the beach we went for a walk. She told me that she had called my school and told them about the accident. Since it was only a couple of weeks till graduation after spring break the school had just sent my diploma. She also asked me when my birthday was and I reluctantly told her that it was the following day. We walked and talked for about an hour then we went to her house. She told me that she and Kim had gone to my hotel and collected my stuff then hauled it over to Emily's. It was late so Emily showed me to the room I would be staying in for now. I didn't bother to change. Yes I had slept a lot at the hospital but it had been restless sleep thanks to the sedatives. I had fallen asleep before my head even hit the pillow. I woke up to Clair poking my forehead and Kim leaning on the inner door frame smiling.

"Waky, waky. Cwyisy need to wake up." Clair said with a pouty face

I put a pillow over my head to block out the light then I said "What time is it Kim?"

"It's noon. Now come on get up, Clair and I are taking you out shopping for dresses. Plus Emily saved some breakfast for you."

I bolted up right. "It's noon? Why didn't anyone wake me up?"

"We tried trust me, but you were out cold. "

I got up and went downstairs. I graciously ate the breakfast Emily had saved for me. Then I went up to my room to change my cloths. I decided to wear greyish black skinny jeans, a dark blackish blue short sleeved V-neck, with black converse boots that had bright green laces and rubber that came up to my knees. I then put on a black belt with crystal studs and a black hoodie that was tight around my upper body. I left my hair down except for a small portion of hair that I pulled back in a black clip. My bangs were pushed to the side covering my right eye. I put on some lip gloss and purple eye shadow. I completed my outfit with black eyeliner that colored the tips a deep indigo.

When I walked downstairs Emily and Kim were talking. Then they saw me and their mouths dropped. I walked over to them as I said "What? Why are you staring at me?" I was a little worried. Finally Kim spoke.

"We were surprised by what you were wearing. When we heard what you looked like from Embry her didn't say you dressed…dark." She said wording her words carefully.

I laughed "I guess you have a right to be surprised. The first time we met I dressed in my cloths that I wear when I go out to the beach to be active and stuff like that. I also don't were make-up when I go out like that so it doesn't smear, but yeah, I'm technically a Goth. The second time we went out I didn't know what we were doing so I did the same thing."

Kim burst out laughing. "I can't wait to see Paul's face the next time he sees you dressed normally."

"Why?" I asked curiously

"He thinks you're hot, but that was when he saw you dressed not normally. He thinks Goths are stupid and lame." She was laughing even harder now and I was laughing to. After our laugh fest we grabbed all of our stuff. Kim had a purse and some other things plus Clair's stuff. All I had was my black lightly sparkly wallet with my money and id's. We barrowed Emily's car for the ride. After a while I asked where we were going.

"Port Angeles of course, it has the best shopping mall of all time."

When we finally arrived we went and grabbed some lunch at a Wendy's. Then we found the dress store. We talked for a minute so we knew were each person was. I was heading over to the section with the black dresses I searched through them until I found 3 ones that I liked. One had sparkly see through cloth over satin that hung lose for the bottom pat and the top was strapless with just satin. It went all the way down to the floor. Another dress that had spaghetti straps that was pure satin on the top layer. It also hung lose to the floor. Then the third had a layer of satin under a see through cloth that had sparkles and it puffed up a little bit but not too much. It went down to just above the knee cap. The top of the dress was satin with no sleeves or straps it had a belt that came with the dress. The belt was black and shiny with a square of fake diamonds. The belt was made to go around my stomach. I tried all of them on and decided with the third.

I went to find Kim with my dress. I finally found her. She was standing in front of Clair in a bright yellow dress. When I got over there she asked me,

"What do you think Crystal?" She asked. By the look on my face I was pretty sure that she knew what I thought. She went back into the dressing room and came out in her regular cloths.

"Will you please help me find a dress Crystal?" she asked

"Of course I'll help you, just give me a sec." I began to look her over. She had dark brown hair and dark brown eyes. She had a kidish look to her but she still looked like a teenager. She was wearing flip flops and regular jeans and a light gray long sleeve shirt. I knew what to look for now. I picked up Clair in one arm and then with my free hand I dragged Kim to the section with the brown dresses. I looked around a minute then I found the perfect dress for Kim. It was a real dark brown satin dress that went down to her heals it was a little puffy, puffier then mine. It had straps but thicker than spaghetti straps. It was plain but not to plain and if was the right size she would be beautiful. I grabbed her size of the dress and gave it to her. She began to complain but I pushed her into the changing room. While I waited for Kim I picked up Clair and sang a song I knew softly in her ear. Just then I heard Kim say my name as if calling me quietly. I took Clair with me into the changing room and I found Kim poking her head out when she saw us she came out and dragged us into a stall. She stood looking into the mirror with shock in her eyes."

"What wrong Kim?" I asked worried

"How do you think I look Crys?" she asked quietly. I smiled, she was surprised at how great the dress looked on her. I sat Clair down and walked over to Kim. I turned her around and gave her a hug.

"You look absolutely amazing Kim." I said

"How did you do it?"

"How'd I do what?"

"How did you know this dress would look good on me?"

"Oh, that parts easy. I realized that your hair and eyes were brown so that was a definite brown dress. Then I thought about your personality, you can be shy sometime and you're a normal person, not some Goth like me. I decided the dress should be sort of plain but not to plain. It's also long but not too long and not too short either. Then it has straps that aren't too thin or too big to make them sleeves. The length and the straps make it not show to much as to make people think your weird and show enough so people know you're not that shy once you get to know them. This dress fit your looks and your personality to a T."

"Wow, I didn't know you knew me so well."

"I didn't, I mean I knew you a little before now."

"What?"

"I looked at what you were wearing. Regular jeans and a regular long sleeve shirt indicate you're not some person who cares too much about clothing but cares enough for someone who's shy and the flip flops show that you're not super shy. So yeah, that how I did that."

Kim was gawking at me and then she said "You're observant, I didn't think you were that observant considering you met Embry stuck under a root."

"Aw, thanks, but yeah…I'm clumsy sometimes."

"Well anyway let's find Clair a nice little dress, and then let's go find some shoes."

After we got Clair her cute little grayish purple dress we went and found shoes. I got black heals that had straps. Kim got some brown fancy sandals that went perfect with her dress. And Clair got little black kid heals. After we finished the shopping and drove home. It was about four o'clock pm
