Chapter 12

                                    

                                          
"What on earth do you mean?" I ask Oli, confused.
                          
"I mean what I said Ava. We're gonna buy you some fabulous clothes and make that boy toy jealous out of his damn mind." 
                          
I giggle as Oli says 'boy toy.'
                          
"Fine, but what do you mean 'we' Oli?" I ask.
                          
"We're meeting up with Zoe at the shops." Oil shrugs.
                          
"Ok!" I actually say this with enthusiasm.
                          
As we drive down to the shops, I start to overthink the situation. What if Conor doesn't even notice? What if he doesn't care? Am I the only one heartbroken at this sudden break up? Or does he regret doing what he did?
                          
I take a deepbreath in.  And Oli looks at me.
                          
"You good?" He asks.
                          
"Yeah, perfect." I lie.
                          
As we get out of the car, Zoe is waiting outside of the mall. She's already holding a shopping bag. She must of bought stuff already.
                          
"Ava!" She hugs me, even though I saw her an hour ago.
                          
"Hey Zoe." I greet her with a wave.
                          
"Are you ladies ready for a shopping spree?" Oli chuckles.
                          
"Of course!" Zoe and I say in unison.
                          
As we venture through the mall, we find clothes that I hate. Love or are too expensive. While we're in a shop called 'England Beauty' we find a dress that I really love.
                          
It's black with and short, it hugs me at my waist, and I walk out of the changing room.
                          
"It's perfect!" Oli says, clapping.
                          
"I actually agree, it really fits your physique Ava!" Zoe exclaims.
                          
"Really?" I ask.
                          
"Look, if you ask me Ava. I would get it, it's perfect and will make Conor as jealous as spaghetti." Zoe explains.
                          
"I have never heard that one before." Oli says, laughing.
                          
"What before?" Zoe asks confused.
                          
"Jealous as spaghetti?" Oli asks.
                          
"Oh, uh - it's well.. I don't really have an explanation for it." Zoe giggles.
                          
"Anyways, are you gonna get it?" Oli asks me.
                          
"I mean, I guess - " I look at the price tag. 
                          
"Nope, no way." I cross my arms.
                          
"What, why not?!" Zoe says, confused.
                          
"It's 500 fucking pounds Zoe!" I say, annoyed.
                          
"So? I will buy it, you deserve to feel like a princess. Even if you don't have a prince." Zoe explains.
                          
I smile, she sees me as a princess.. and my prince was Conor, who left for the wicked witch of the west.  - The girl he was with on his snapchat
                          
"I'm not gonna let you buy this for me, we can just buy a cheaper one.. some where else?" I explain.
                          
"No! This dress is gorgeous! Plus you need something to wear to the YouTube party next week." Zoe says, arguing with me.
                          
"What youtube party?" I ask confused.
                          
"If you have only 800 000 subs on YouTube your invited, they would sent you an email." Oli explains.
                          
"Oh. I can just wear something I already own." I shrug.
                          
"Dude, Conor will be there. This will be your chance to make him want you back but your gonna ignore the douche and find another true love!" Oli says,
                          
"Dude, did you just dude-zone me?" I ask, laughing.
                          
Oli rolls his eyes.
                          
"I'm buying it for you, and we need to find a bikini you can wear under it because there's gonna be a pool there!"  Zoe says, excited.
                          
"I can't believe I'm saying this. But fine, but I'm still gonna pay you back." I explain.
                          
"Stop arguing! This dress is GORGEOUS. And we're getting it. So put back on your clothes and bring it out, we'll meet you at the counter." Zoe says, 
                          
Oli and Zoe walk off to the front of the shop. I go back into the changing room to get back into my normal clothes. That's when I realise there are pockets in the dress. HELLZ YES!
                          
-
                          
Oli dropped me and Zoe off at my apartment. Zoe insisted on sleeping the night to 'comfort' me.
                          
"Can I borrow some PJs?" Zoe yells out.
                          
Zoe and I are the same figure, so we borrow each other's clothes quite often.
                          
"Sure!" I shout back out.
                          
When Zoe walks out in my purple cat pjs she says; "We should watch a scary movie!" 
                          
"Nope, definitely not Zoe. I'm fucking terrified of scary movies." I say,
                          
"That's the point Ava!" She chuckles.
                          
I roll my eyes, but sit on the couch. Agreeing to watch one.
                          
For the next couple hours, Zoe and I just binge watch movies that scare the shit out of us. It takes my mind off of Conor and more onto.. serial killers?
                          
"We should go to sleep." Zoe shrugs.
                          
"Agreed, but I ain't sleeping alone after that." I explain.
                          
"I'll sleep in your bed with you." Zoe says.
                          
"Good!"
                          
We head to bed, we're both exhausted so we fall asleep very quickly. But my dreams are filled with things that might happen at the youtube party.
                          
"You want a drink?" The bartender asks.
                          
"Sure, a cocktail please." I shrug.
                          
The man whips up a quick orange drink and sticks a straw in it. 
                          
Then Conor walks by. He's got his hand around another girls waist, he didn't even notice me. I got a 500 pound dress and he doesn't even realise I'm there. I shouldn't have come
                          
Oli was right when he said Conor was a boy toy. Why did fall in love so quickly? God, I'm so gullible.
                          
"Ava! Wake up!" Zoe is nudging on my shoulder.
                          
I open my eyes and the bright sun wakes me.
                          
"Zoe?" I say, confused.
                          
"Jack just texted you, he said he wants to talk." Zoe explains.
                          
"Shit." I mumble.
                          
"What?" Zoe asks.
                          
"I kind of kissed him yesterday.." I say, under my breath.
                          
"Oh my gosh Ava! You idiot!" Zoe says, sitting up.
                          
"I don't know what came over me! He was being so sweet, and then I kissed him.. he seemed to be enjoying it until he separated our lips and said he didn't wanna be my rebound!" I explain.
                          
"God, Ava.. what am I gonna do with you?"
