Something Great

Delilah's pov

I sit down on Perrie's bed.

"Please! Just find something!" i wine.
She has been rummaging through outfits for three hours.
"Perfection takes time." She states.

She holds out an outfit, "Isn't this cute?!" She jumps.
I nod, "Yes, but not for me..."
"I know, I just wanted to know if it was cute."
I stick out my tongue.

"You know-"
Perrie is cut off by the doorbell ringing.

She runs down stairs and is back with El by her side.
El looks terrible, her eyes are red and puffy, she looks like she has been crying.

I Rush to her side and lead her to the bed.
"What happened?" I ask, rubbing her shoulder.
"Nothing it's just.." She sniffles, "Louis and I have been fighting a lot lately..."
"Oh, no. About what?" Perrie asks.
El stands up, ruffling her hair, "Nothing."
"El, what happ-"
"Nothing!" She snaps.

"Gosh, I'm sorry..." Perrie says.
"It's okay...let's just, pick out an outfit for you. Big date tonight..." El tries to hide it, but we both know she is hurt.

El smiles and runs her fingers on the outfit before pulling it out.
"This one?"
I nod and get dressed.

*****

I sit in the booth, next to the window, texting Minnie while waiting for my date.
I have become really close with the girls this past week.

Minnie Mouse: Good luck! I have to go!
Me: Kay, bye!

As soon as I put up my phone, my name is called.
"Delilah? Is that you?" My head jumps up.
"Mark?" I jump up and we engulf each other in a hug, "Oh my god! Mark!"

Mark was my ex boyfriend. We ended on good terms, we only broke up since i was moving.

"What are you doing here?" I ask.
"Oh, on a blind date." I reply, "he hasn't showed up yet."
He stands back, presenting himself.
"Hi, I'm Mark, your date."

I giggle, "You have to be kidding me" I smile.
"Shall we go on a walk?"
"We shall, just let me get some coffee first."
