3 Before The Date:

Friday: You find yourself in your closet realizing how there is nothing to wear tomorrow night.

"Too Pink... Too Black... Too Slutty.. Not Slutty Enough. Ugh." You say throwing things from the closet.

Alice appears leaning on your door frame smiling. "Sounds like someone is nervous about tomorrow." She says sitting on your bed looking through the clothes. You continue digging in the closet that seems to never end but has not one thing to wear.

"You are going to be perfect.. Trust me they will love you." Alice smiled bigger. You Froze.

"About that.. "They." By they do you mean there is a backup incase one doesn't workout or?" Her smile deepens. With a chuckle she stands and puts both hands on my shoulders.

"Trust me I've seen your future. It's perfect and you will thank me later." Alice wraps her arms around you in a big Embrace.

"Shopping time.. My treat.. Than Mani/Pedi's. Just make it a fun girls day you and me. Its been too long since we got girl time." You smile at Alice buttering you up. "Well how can I say no." When you turn to look back at your room you realize its covered in clothes. "It looks like a clothing outlet barfed." She laughs while walking to her room to get ready.

You arrive at the at the mall with Alice.

"First thing first. We can not possibly shop on empty stomaches." Alice said pulling you into the direction of the delicious smelling Chinese food. You sit and eat and of course gossip. Alice looks at you intently.

"What? Why are you looking at me like that?" You say wiping your mouth. She Breathes.

"How are you feeling since Aaron? I just want to make sure you are okay is all." You stopped chewing at the sound of his name. "I am just hoping he is really gone. He made me feel so small and fragile. I don't want to be weak." You breath than continue. "Aaron is the very reason I hate the way I look. I was too fat... Too short. Too Helpless. Maybe all that is true considering my growing up standards results in Adoptive parents who did not want me just the money. I don't know though guess I have always felt this way deep down." Alice looks at you wishfully. "I just want to be good enough for someone.. Anyone." You finish looking at your beef and broccoli. Alice grabs your right hand across the table.

"You listen and hear me when I say this.. You Clara are Beautiful. Smart. Worthy of Love, Affection, and Care. And I have never seen someone with as big a heart as yours. You are going to be happy just give yourself a break." Alice's words cause you to smile and choke back tears.

When you both decide you are done eating or more like crying over your lunch, she leads you into some fancy clothing stores. Instantly you feel self concious as though you don't belong.

Alice seeing your discomfort than walks over to a rack of clothes. "Lets see.. You should try this and this and this." Alice hands three dresses right off the bat to you. "Go try these on." She says smacking your butt playfully causing you to laugh loudly.

The First one was insanely too much Gold Color. The Second was way too short.

And the Third.. Well lets just say where there is no sight or touch it was fine but no not today... Or ever.

3 Hours Later:

I was beginning to believe I should just use a trash bag as a dress or just not go at all.

On our way out of the store there was this shop by the Exit. It showed the most beautiful dress. Length stopping at the top of the knees. Cleavage Moderate but Appropriate. Sleeves short but tasteful.

When the light hit the dress just right there were little Sparkles that appealed to the eye.

"Do you wan it?" Alice said hopeful. I looked at her and she pulled me into the store to try it on.

It fit Perfect like a glove. In a weird way almost like it was meant to be mine, hugging in all the right places but without it being too much. You take a deep breathe and walk out to Alice. Her Mouth falls open and she smiles.

"Clara... You look amazing. Tell me you love this dress?" She said smiling at me in the mirror.

"Yes.. I do. Actually makes me feel pretty." I say then I start to hear tears trying to come out. She comes up behind you and hugs you tightly.

"Stop that you are Beautiful. The dress doesn't make you that. You do. But this dress looks amazing on you. Lets get it and go get our mani/pedi on." She said stroking your hair.

Few Hours later you both make it home. You head to your room to begin cleaning up all the clothes.

You lay your new dress on your chair for tomorrow and then grab a pair of black pumps from your closet. There is a knock at your door. "Come in." Alice opens the door bringing in a bottle of wine and two coffee mugs to drink from.

"Hey I thought you were gonna go hang with Sebastian tonight." She hands you a mug.

"Well I decided I had too much from with you earlier and I didn't want it to end." She said smiling.

"Besides he has a Pack thing tonight so, Girl Night.. Need help with your Addiction?"

You snicker at her as she winks.

"Atleast it is not bad for my health."

"Nope just your wallet." She giggles at her own joke. She picks up a dress and puts it on a hanger.

After a second bottle of wine we decided its way faster to just shove everything back into the closet and shut the door. We laid on the bed laughing about whatever came to mind.

"I think Sebastian wants to ask me to marry him." She said smiling and covering her blushing face.

You sit up straight and smile.

"Are you Serious?? That is wonderful." You say giddy from Happiness and Wine.

She hugs you tight and Hiccups. "When do you think he'll ask?" You say Chugging the rest of the wine in your mug.

"Tomorrow Night." She says with another hiccup. Her Green Emerald eyes bouncing with Glee. I truly loved seeing her so Happy.

You Both lay down on the bed talking about Tomorrow and if you were Nervous. Adventually you Both pass out together.

Next Morning:

You wake up and Alice arm is laying straight across your breast. You leg over hers. You chuckle at the thought of someone walking in and seeing you two. Alice wakes up and laughs.

"Well you know your close when you wake up and are getting fondled by your bestfriend."

She said laughing.

"Well it is the Highlight of my week. Or year." You say sitting up.

Alice rolls over with a grunt. You smack her on the butt and jump on the bed.

"Come on Mrs. Soon to be Sebastian." She grunts and laughs. " If you don't stop I will Puke." With that said you jump to the floor with a laugh and head to the kitchen to make Breakfest.

Alice comes out yawning when she smells bacon cooking.

"Morning Sleeping Beauty." She flips you off while making her way to the dining table. You both sit there and Eat breakfast trying to get rid of the wine hangover you both have.

Alice gulps her Orange Juice then heads to water.

"I don't get how people our age can drink far worse and bounce right back.

You say tearing into your bacon like a ravage animal. Alice Grunts in agreement.

Couple Hours later you both are feeling much better and began looking at hairstyles. You both want to do for your special nights.

"Hope you don't mind we aren't going double dating with you." Alice said looking at you. "Why would I mind. I mean I am a grown up. I have to stop being scared sometime." You say shrugging.

"I guess I am worried alittle because I won't be there." She said saving a hairstyle picture to her phone.

"It's not your job to protect me. Or to watch me like my guardian angel. You deserve to live your life too." you say smiling at her. "I know I just care about you a lot. You my Sister." She grabs your hand and squeezes gently.

"If Sebastian trusts them I will be fine I'm sure."
