ஐ Lillyஐ (before the whole hospital thing)

Sentence(s) of the chapter- "This is what she does, and she always finds the perfect outfit. Always. It's honestly a little scary," Jess said, receiving a glare from Kelly.

Unfortunately, because I was on crutches, I went to the nurses office for gym. That's not all bad though, because I love the nurse, Ms. White. She was a nice, plump woman with brown hair. She was very nice, and trusted me. I was organizing some of her cabinets, when I heard two boys.
"Ms. White! Ms. White! We need help!" I heard. Being a part time mother for two ten year olds, I took a few classes on nursing. I quickly ditched my crutches and limp/ran to the front of the office. I gasped when I saw who it was.
"Oh my god! Put him there, I'll be right back," I said. I grabbed my crutches and went over to Ms. Whites counter, grabbing everything I thought I might need. The other two students left and I was alone with Mathew. "What happened? Never mind, I don't want to know. You need better medical attention than I can give you," I said. I touched his lip softly, but saw him wince in pain.

-Time skip because you already know what happens-

I looked at the clock in the hospital room and noticed that school had just ended. I had been in a conversation with Mathews mother, with the occasional remark from Mathew.
"Hey Mathew?" I said. His mom went on the other side of him. "I have to go because I'm being dragged to the mall by Jess and Kelly, but I can cancel if you want," I said, reassuring him that I did not want to leave him.
"Go, have fun. I'm not exactly going anywhere." He said in a playful tone. I kissed his forehead, and bid his mother goodbye.
"Let me drive you there," she offered sweetly.
"Thank you, but I don't want to be a burden," I protested. Apparently she wasn't taking no for an answer.
"Nonsense child, I'll take you. Goodbye Mathew, I'll be back tomorrow," she said. He smiled.
"I'll probably come see you before I leave to go home, goodbye," I said. I walked beside Mrs. Johnson as we went to her car. "Thank you, for driving, and also for coming to see Mathew. Some parents don't do that," I mumbled the last part. She smiled as we got into her car.
"I like you. Your sweet, pretty, and smart. Also nice and well behaved for a young woman of your age," she complimented.
"Thank you ma'am. I'm half of a mother I guess. My parents are never around, so I look after my two brothers, one being handicapped. It's not an easy job, I'll tell you that," I laughed.
"He likes you, you know. A lot. When he talks about his whole face lights up. He's never smiled that large, ever, in his entire life." She said, referring to Mathew and making me blush.
"I'm not that great," I said. She laughed.
"To him you are." She said softly. I didn't respond, seeing as we had already arrived at the mall.
     "That seemed very quick. Thank you again Ms. Johnson, for driving me," I said. She smiled.
     "Please, call me Violet," she said.
     "That's such a pretty name! It suits you. I must be going now, but thank you," I said.
     "Have a good night Lilly," she said, getting back into her car and driving off. I walked into the mall and was pulled to the side by two teenage girls. One names Kelly, the other named Jess.
     "Ready?" Jess asked.
    "Ready..." I said shakily, making it seem like a question. Jess stepped back and looked at me. All of me, making me feel somewhat naked.
    "Alright, we want something flattering but longer than the knee. Something soft, but also a little rough on the edges. Something in a light color, to suit you personality. Shoes would be flats obviously," Jess said. Kelly just nodded at everything Jess said. "Any ideas?" Jess asked Kelly. She seemed puzzled for a moment, then grabbed our hands and dragged us to a close by clothing store. She went to the woman's dresses and started going through each rack quickly.
      "This is what she does, and she always finds the perfect outfit. Always. It's honestly a little scary," Jess said, receiving a glare from Kelly.
      "I just have good taste. Come here," she said, taking my hand and pulling me to her. She held up a light yellow knee dress, but then gagged and put it back. She then preceded to do this about 20 more times, all silently. She had about four in her hand as she told me to go try them on.
      I did as told and put on the first dress. It was a dark blue dress that went right below the knee. It felt as though if I moved to fast, it would rip. I cautiously walked out of the dressing room and in front of the two girls. This went on for three more dresses till I was down to the last one.
     It was a nice sky blue color. It was a spaghetti strap, but I paired it nicely with a white long sleeve over coat. It hugged my body until it came to my hips, where it flowed off. I dont know what it was made of, but it was very comfortable. I liked this dress better than any of the others.
       I walked out and watched as the two girls mouthes dropped. They quickly conversed words and gave me a thumbs up. I looked at the price tag and almost screamed!
      "Oh my god! Kelly I can't let you pay for this, it's way to expensive!" I exclaimed.
      "Actually, it was right in my budget. Paired with...." She said, quickly running off to the jewelry section and coming back with a pearl necklace and matching earrings. "This and some..." She said, looking around the nearest shoe collection, pulling out a pair of white flats. "White flats, you should look amazing. Wow..." She said, taking in my look.
      "Mathew will be drooling when he sees you," Jess commented, making us laugh.

     "Can you drop me off at the car dealer and then go get my brothers from school, then take them home? I know it's a lot but I promised Mathew that I'd go see him," I said. Kelly nodded.
      "Make sure you call the school and tell them the situation so they don't think I'm stealing your kids," Jess said. I nodded.
     "I will. Thank you," I said, getting in the back of the car. We drove to where my baby was. They called me a few days ago telling me that I could pick her up, but I never had the time. It'll be nice to be back in my car.

Hey guys! How goes it? No longer feeling sick, so that's good. Is this chapter too long? I wouldn't know honestly.
