Then it was like she had remembered something because her face lit up as she spoke "I also bought you a costume to wear tonight."
"Oh no."
It was going to be a very interesting night.
Chapter Fifty-Nine
Chapter Fifty-Nine
The party was in full swing. I could hear it. Yet, I still had not seen it because I was too busy hiding in the bathroom wearing the ridiculous costume that Lana had bought me.
"Get out here!" She called from the other side of the door "I am sure it does not look bad at all."
Her idea was to dress me up as a fairy. I wore a pink satin dress that ended mid-thigh and rainbow translucence wings attached to the back.
I did look like a fairy. Maybe that was why she picked it. It meshed well with my long bright hair, dainty features and my wide eyes.
"I liked my idea of a costume better." I moaned while pulling my dress down.
Lana sighed loudly "Wearing an orange dress and saying you are a carrot is not a costume."
"It is an original idea!"
She banged at the door "Get out here. You are missing the party!"
I finally surrendered and opened the door.
It was a big mistake. She was waiting there with a deadly weapon. A makeup brush covered in glitter.
I closed my eyes and tried to push her off as she dabbed my face with sparkles.
"What was that in need of?" I asked while wiping at my face to get a handful of glitter off.
"So you look more the part." She answered while grinning triumphantly.
Her costume was also pink. She had decided to dress up as one of her favourite characters from a Barbie movie. Something about a rockstar princess. Whatever she was meant to be did not matter because she made it work.
"Ella?" She called to me sheepishly.
"Yeah?" I answered her.
"I knew that Brennan was in love with someone else." She sighed as she rocketed nervously on her feet "He told me the very first night we met."
I sent her a small yet confused smile "Why would you choose to date him?"
"Because I thought I would be like Jennifer Lawrence in The Silver Lining's Playbook. I thought I could make him like me." She huffed out embarrassedly "I'm a fool."
I decided not to comment on the fact that The Silver Lining's Playbook was about a lot more so I sealed my lips shut and made my way over to her.
She wrapped her arms around me as I embraced her in a hug. We squeezed each other tight for a good minute.
"Let's go downstairs." She said as she took hold of my hand.
"Okay." I agreed and let her drag me along the hall to the staircase.
