My conversation with Emma didn't last that long.  Mostly because she had to get back to work.  Still it was enough and it calmed my nerves, a little.
                          
I didn't do much the rest of the day mainly because I felt wierd in the house but also because I was stressing about going to dinner with Taylor.
                          
I stared at the green dress I wore the night of the party. It is too short but I don't have anything else and with Taylor she is probably taking me somewhere expensive, somewhere I shouldn't be.
                          
I found a pair of black jeans and a button up and pondered it but ended up going back to the dress.  I searched for a pair of leggings I could maybe use.
                          
All my shit is oversized and not nice or formal in anyway, making this task difficult.  I finally found some, I have no idea when I got them but I have them.
                          
I waited till it was almost time for Taylor to be here to get ready.  Her text confirms her where abouts.
                          
I put the clothes on and went to the bathroom brushing my hair out and putting it in a ponytail.  I look so childish no matter what I wear.
                          
As I'm fumbling with my hair I remember my wrists and look at them.  They're red and full of lines, ny mind wonders to the old fingerless gloves I used to wear.
                          
I didn't have another idea and didn't have time to think.  I hear the faint sound of the door closing and rush back to the room, slamming the door by accident.
                          
I can hear footsteps as I fumble withmy back trying to fing the gloves.  I hear a nock as I found them and pulled them on as the door opens.
                          
I push my bag so it's hidden and I turn to she Taylor look at me.  I was in a position I normally sit it on my knees but it probably didn't look great in a dress.
                          
I quickly stood up and turned around my face heating.
                          
"Oh a hi, I didn't hear you come in" I lied.
                          
"Really? I texted you"  She say with blank expression.  I laugh nervously as I walk closer to her.  I hold my arms not knowing what to say.  I should be excited for this but im just nervous. At the same time, this is just a friendly outing so I shouldn't.
                          
I am snapped back to reality when I noticed she hasn't moved.  I watch her as she looks over me.  I squirm and bite my tongue.  I hear her chuckle which makes my body heat up.
                          
"Well since your already ready, I'll go get changed then we can go."  She said with a smirk.  She was able to catch my eyes for a moment before I looked down.
                          
She closed the door and the tension went away.  I sigh in relief and go over to lit my converse on.  I walk out of the door and down to the living room.
