Save your heart.
This house is a circus.
I ended up shopping for my dress alone. John could not come and Dakota had to work. I'd ask my brother for help, but he was already pretty busy and I did not want him to have more things to worry about. I had never been to a wedding, so I only hoped the dress I'd chosen would be okay.
I left a note on the kitchen and entered the car.
My parents were quite wealthy, so when they passed out, James and I were left with quite a large amount of money. I don't think we used it until now, though. James had a job and so did I, and we earned more than enough to live comfortably. James told me he wanted Katie to have the perfect wedding, and I did not blame him. In fact, I supported him, so I agreed he spent our parents' money.
I drove to LA.
More than 6 hours of hell.
Oh, how I loved driving.
When I arrived at the hotel, it was already really dark outside, so I set up my alarm and slept until next morning. I woke up and ordered breakfast, and since I brought my laptop with me, I looked up the addresses of the shops I wanted to visit.
"They're not that far. Winner winner chicken dinner."
Not gonna lie, I already knew what I wanted, so as soon as I finished breakfast, I got in my car and drove to a Hervé Léger shop. I felt really posh and it sent shivers down my spine. I don't really know why and whether the shivers were good or were bad. They treated you like heaven there, though.
I stayed there for like an hour. The girl that was attending me was really kind and showed me a bunch of dresses. I decided I wanted a black dress, so after trying some on, I finally chose the one I wanted. Again, not gonna lie, I loved it. It fitted like a glove. It was really expensive, though. It hurt a bit paying that much for a piece of fabric, that honestly, I wasn't gonna wear that much, but it was really beautiful and I wanted to look nice on my brother's wedding. And I liked being girly once in a while!
After spending more than 2000$ and before recovering from that piece of heart missing in me, I headed towards a Christian Louboutin shop.
"Oh God, here we go. Why does pretty clothing have to be so expensive." I sighed. I'm sure it was really the best quality, but I felt like a spoilt little girl, using my parents' money. I mean, they were not going to use it, because it was impossible, and leaving the money there, frozen in the bank account was not really productive, so it was right I was spending it. I kept arguing with myself in my head.
I was at the shop for about 15 minutes. When I found the shoes I wanted I walked to the shop assistant that was closer to me.
"Excuse me, do you have these in a 9?" I disliked my shoe size. I'd always wished it was smaller, girlier.
"Sure. I'll bring you them in a second." The young man kindly smiled at me.
When he came back, he opened the box and handed me both shoes so I could try them on. They weren't the most comfortable shoes on earth, but they were not as bad as I imagined they'd be. I took them off and handed them back to the man. He walked to the cashier while I put my own shoes back on. I payed and left. Another hole in my heart. Oh.
I got in the car and drove back to the hotel. I turned up the radio and tried to ignore the price of the items I had just purchased and focused on thinking how beautiful they were. They were really beautiful. I loved them. I couldn't wait to wear them now. I shook my body in excitement.
I collected a couple of things I had left in my room and got back in the car. I had to drive back to Arizona, oh joy. There wasn't much traffic, which was a bonus.
I was exhausted when I arrived. I had travelled more than 12 hours by car in the last day. I ate some chips, drank some soda and went straight to my bed. There was nobody at home, so I just left another note for Dakota.
'I'm back. I'm sleeping. I'll show ya what I bought tomorrow morning! -Jess"

I wish I hadn't left that note in the kitchen. Dakota started banging on my door at 10 am. 10!
"Open the door Jess!"
I woke up and walked to the door, my eyes still shut.
"For fuck's sake Dakota!" I opened the door. "It's Saturday morning! You should at least wait until 12 or something!"
"Well, yeah, but I could not." She smiled and jumped inside.
"You don't expect me to show you the clothes like this, do you." I wanted to have breakfast first. I wanted to be properly woken up.
"That's fair." She shrugged and walked downstairs ahead of me. "Did you have fun in LA?"
"Well, I was there for 10-12 hours, and taking into account that I was only awake for a couple of them, yes, I did have fun."
"You seriously can't sleep that much. It has to be unhealthy." Dakota said pouring cereal in two bowls while I opened the fridge and grabbed the milk.
"Whatever." I laughed.

We were upstairs now.
"Woah, those brands are fancy. Fuck you." She said looking at the bags. I laughed.
"Hey, you're the one that has Chanel jewelry and a Steven McQueen dress, so guess what, fuck both of us." I laughed again. She did too.
I grabbed the dress and showed it to her.
"Woah, woah. THAT'S BEAUTIFUL!" She strongly widened her eyes.
"Don't scream!" I laughed. She was talking so loud.
"SHOW ME THE LOUBOUTINS." I did so and she grabbed one. "WOAH. YOU'RE GOING TO LOOK HOT, LADY. HOT AND CLASSY."
I laughed and kissed he on the cheek. "We both have spent quite some money on our outfits."
"We have." She sighed. "We have." She grabbed my by the waist with one arm and I grabbed her by her shoulders. We walked downstairs and sat on the sofa.
