Chapter 5

The next morning

(Angela's P.O.V)

For the first time ever since i was nine years old. I woke up happy. I was still sad about my family but i can't change anything about that and i still have some hope everything will work out the way it needs to.

"Good morning" I heard Leo say

"How did you sleep?"

"A lot better" I replied

"You ready to do some shopping with the girls?"

"Yeah, i guess, I haven't been out socially for years, can't wait"

"Good, They will meet you downstairs in the sitting room in an hour"

"Okay"

After Leo left me alone in my bedroom, I hopped into the shower, blow dried my hair and neatly tied it up. I then got dressed. I can not wait to wear my own and new clothes. I wanted to quickly make a cup of coffee and some toast before we go. So, i walked down to the kitchen and that's what i did.

After I had my breakfast, i went to the sitting room and i saw Sophie standing there with her mom and three other girls about her age.

"Hey Angela" Sophie called out.

"Hey"

"You already met my mom Sarah. This is Amber, Tiana and Charlotte." Sophie said introducing her friends.

"Nice to meet you"

"Ready to go shopping?" Sophie asked.

"Yeah" I answered.

So we all got into the car and drove to the mall.

"So, Where do you want to go first?" I heard Sophie said.

"Ummm... I have no idea"

"Okay, how about here" Sophie said pointing to a clothes shop"

"Yeah, Sure"

So, we went in and to have a look around.

"So, you need a bit of everything really"

We went to the trouser section and got ten of different colours, such as, blue and black and also different styles. Then we did the same thing for the Tops. Sophie was obviously picking them out for me because i have no idea on what i'm doing and she knows what will suit me. I had to keep trying them on because I haven't brought clothes in years and had no idea what size i am. Then we need stuff like underwear. So we went to the underwear section and Sophie and her friends were just chucking all kinds of patters, type and colour into the trolley. I also needed some socks and bra's so again they were just chucking all kinds of styles into the trolley.

After that, they decided to go to the summer section and picked out quite a few dresses, shorts and skirts and also some vests to go under the shirts.

We also went to the winter section because i needed some coats and some warmer clothes such as tops and jumpers.

"Oh, you also need some shoes" I heard Amber say.

So we went over to the shoe section the girls decided i need shoes for all different outfits and occasions such as high heels, trainers, sandals, boots and some other shoes. They got me 3 pairs or each type.

After all the clothes, shoes and underwear, they decided i needed other things such as girl products, stuff for the bath and also different styles of bedding.

So, we came out of the clothes shops with loads of bags but they decided to put it all on the car while we carried on shopping. So we went to a shop called superdrug. Weired name for a shop, right? Loads of things sure changed over the years.

Anyway, we went into Superdrug and went over by the bath products sections and picked out a couple of everything such as shampoo, conditioner, bubble bath, soap, tooth brush, tooth paste, razors, spray and some other things i needed. I also needed hair brush so they got me a couple of those.

After that, we went to another section and got sanitary products such as nappy bags, tampons, pads and other things we saw. We also went over by the makeup sections and again they just chucked in a lot of stuff i would need, obviously checking them first to see if they would suit me.

"Do you have any hobbies you liked doing in the past?" Tiana asked me.

"Ummm...well.... I liked doing word searches, cross words, colouring and reading i guess"

"Okay, good, we can get you some stuff like that in case you get bored or for whatever reason, sounds good?"

"Sure" I replied.

So, we went in to a shop called the works, another weired name, and in there they had all sorts of stuff i use to love to do. So they got a trolley and put loads of paper, pens, pencils, painting, word searches, cross words, books, colouring books and all other stuff i could enjoy doing.

The only thing left to get is stuff like bedding. So, we went to this really nice shops where they sell lovely stuff. They decided to get me a few of each so i could change the bedding every so often.

After we finally finished shopping, we loaded them into the car with the other stuff that was already in there.

I started feeling hungry and it seems like the girls did to. So we went to a food place and i had burger and chips with a can of coke. I so missed eating like this and whenever i wanted without getting shouted or hit.

I saw Sophie and her mom look at me.

"How about before we go home, we go to the salon and we can sort your hair out for you, sounds good?"

"Sounds amazing"

After we eaten, we went to our final destination, the salon.

"How do you want your hair" Sarah said.

"Ummmm... I don't know, i haven't had it done for so long"

"Okay, i think i know what would suit you, want me to decide"

"Yeah sure"

So, Sarah whispered into the hair dresser's ear and when it was done, it looked amazing. I wanted to keep the original colour. But, i had it cut to my shoulders but had some blonde highlights in it because i wanted something different. I also had it curled and brushed out a bit.

"Thank you so much, it looks amazing, you sure know what your doing"

The girls laughed.

After a long day, we were finally home. Home, i love saying that word.

"Hey girls, how did it go" I heard Leo said.

"Great, it went great, like my hair".

"Like? i love your hair"

"What do you want to do?" He asked me.

"I don't know but i do know that i'm very tired, haven't done something like that in years"

"Okay, how about a movie night, we can have some snacks and you can unpack everything tomorrow, for now lets help get everything out of the car and into your room and then i can help you tomorrow or the girls can help you if that's better"

"Maybe the girls, there's some sensitive stuff like underwear i don't want you to see, but a movie sounds great"

"Okay, fair enough" he laughed.

So, that's what we did for the rest of night and then i fell asleep with a smile on my face in his arms on the sofa.
