Now and Forever

Audrey and I had made plans of going shopping later on in the afternoon so I decided to pack away my clothes in to the closet to pass time.

I dragged my suitcase to the closet and saw one side of the closet was filled with Alexander's clothes and the other side was empty.

I started out by hanging the dresses, then tops and ended by hanging the jackets last. I then folded my jeans and shorts and put my undies and bras, the pajamas that Bella had gotten me and my swimsuits in a drawer that was beneath my pants.

By time I was done, it was around eleven am so I decided to organize my skin and hair products in the bathroom. It didn't take me that long to organize them since I didn't have many of them.

There was a knock on the door and the sound of it opening. I popped my head out of the bathroom door to see who it was then Audrey walked in and sat on the bed.

"Hey Audrey, do you need anything?" I asked as I walked out of the bathroom and towards the bed. "Are you ready?" She asked. I looked at the time on my phone and it showed that it was a quarter to mid day.

I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion. "It's not yet one o'clock." I said while looking back at her. She sighed dramatically while falling back on the bed on her back. "But I'm so booored." She whined as she put an arm over her eyes.

I chuckled lightly and walked back into the closet to get a purse to put my wallet and phone in.

We walked out of the room and made our way downstairs. On the stairs we met Alexis and her friend. "Where are you guys going?" Let's call her Ms Annoying shall we? Asked. "None of your business Bethany." -Oh, so that's her name. So much for my great nicknaming skills. *Cue eye roll*- Audrey said as she just walked past them.

I could sense the tension between them so I just gave them a polite smile and followed Audrey down the stairs. We turned going towards the left hallway when Alexander walked out of some sort of room that had brown double doors. "Where are you guys going?" He asked when he closed the door and came to stand in front of us.

BS and you know it. Now get your ass over there and change into the dress." She said pointing towards a curtain. I took the dress out of her hands carefully. I took off my clothes and my bra because it had a built in bra and put on

"You look so beautiful Amelia." Audrey gushed out. I looked at her through the mirror looking at me with her
