Fashonista Meltdown (Avi)

[Lucy Holiday]

A date! A date with a college boy! Lucy knew she was out of her mind, but with all the crap she had going on - how could she turn down a bit of fun? Besides it was pretty freaking awesome to know that she'd scored a date with a hot college guy only a few hours after chemo. Chemo. Ugh. That was something she did NOT want this guy to know about.

After trying on three different dresses, Lucy growled in frustration. None of them looked right! Well, she had never gotten ready for a date without Avi's advice, and she wasn't going to start now. Even if Avi was acting a little weird about it.

Sitting on the bed in nothing but a rainbow striped bra with matching panties, Lucy snatched up her phone off of the nightstand and sent out a desperate text to her bestie.

"OMG! Totally freaking about this date! Need help! Fashionista crisis, here!"

Her thumbs practically flew over the keys as she typed out her SOS. Once the message was finished, she pressed SEND. Lucy chewed her nails and tried not to break out in hives as she waited for a reply.

Lucy had a date. Avi didn't like it. Normally there was nothing wrong, but tonight? Something was wrong. Avi wasn't sure what it was but there was defiantly something irking her about Lucy's date tonight. And no she wasn't jealous.

She was sitting on her bed just thinking when her phone buzzed. Looking at the caller Avi sighed. It was her. Lucy was texting her, and Avi wondered why. She didn't want to help Lucy get ready tonight.

Sending a quick reply Avi shook her head trying to not think about it.

You'll be fine.You don't need my help. I'm doing homework anyway.Can't come.

In actuality Avi just didn't want to help her friend for this date. Why was she acting like this?

[Lucy Holiday]

Can't come! Can't come? Ok. That was just weird. Avi had never turned down an SOS before! In fact, Avi was usually already there with the perfect outfit picked out and a few kissing tips to make Lucy laugh. Lucy stared at the phone and tapped the screen for a minute before her fingers began flying again.

"Fine? I don't wanna be fine. I wanna be hot! I totally need my wingman...err...woman!

With her lip worried beneath her teeth, Lucy's mind was quickly spinning. Ok, so Avi wasn't coming over, but she could still help - right?

[Avinea Jale]

She didn't like lying to her friend but she really didn't want to be there. Lucy looked good in anything she put on, they both knew that, and it made it all the harder for Avi to watch her like this to go out on a date.


You'll look nice in anything you put on. Besides, you have to do this on your own someday.

Avi pressed send and shook her head.

[Lucy Holiday]

The little phone buzzed and glowed in her hand as Lucy sat waiting. She was certain that Avi would come now. Avi had to hear the begging in Lucy's voice...err...text. Scrolling down to see the reply, Lucy ended up staring at the phone in disbelief. What the....? Ugh! Unbelievable! Once again, her fingers flew over the little keypad.

"Totally not true! You know pink makes me look bloated..."

SEND! Determined not to let Avi off the hook, Lucy huffed. She did NOT want to even think about what that little on your own comment meant. Standing with one hand on her hip, the petite brunette held her phone out toward two dresses laying on the bed.

[Avinea Jale]

Avi rolled her eyes at the text she received. Giggling Avi had to note that Pink did make her look bloated, but that was only a certain shade. Shaking her head Avi thought up a reply before sending it to Lucy.

"So don't wear pink then. Honestly you don't need me for everything."

If she did then she wouldn't be going on a date with College boy.Avi swears she isn't jealous.

[Lucy Holiday]

Just as Lucy was about to snap the picture, her phone buzzed once again. That was a quick! Pausing in her mission, Lucy cleared the screen and clicked on the pop up message. Her jaw dropped as she read her friend's sage advice. So don't wear pink? Really! Really? Ok. So this was NOT going very well. Why was Avi being so stingy with her fashion expertise at this very crucial moment?

Her jaw was still hanging open as she tried to absorb the words. Ok. Maybe she deserved it. Maybe this was payback for pushing Avi away for so long. The guilt tempered the confusion and growing frustration. Lucy let out a quiet sigh.

"Ok, ok. I get it. Lucy bad. Lucy in trouble with Avi. LUCY SORRY! Pwease help. I wuv you.

SEND. There... a bit of pride swallowed. Avi would help now, right?

[Avinea Jale]

Avi was, by now, fidgeting. she decided she really should get her homework out. That was an indication of things being wrong. Never normally, would Avi actually be doing her homework. Absent minded she build up a small pile of wind, that revolved around her finger.

Then the phone buzzed and Avis face scrunched up.

You're not in trouble. I'm trying to conjugate words.

No way Avi would tell her the whole truth of the matter. Biting her lip she looked down at her English and sighed. Why did this have to be so difficult.

[Lucy Holiday]

By this time Lucy had totally abandoned her efforts to get dressed and began pacing back and forth as she stared at the phone. Maybe Avi was really mad at her! Maybe she had only pretended to forgive her for keeping her secret for so long. Maybe Avi didn't want to hang out with a cancer patient. Maybe...

The glow of the screen interrupted Lucy's paranoid train of thought. She read the reply so quickly that she had to go back and read it again in order to understand what it said. Oh. Well. That explained it. Lucy was the word nut. Avi hated doing her English homework. Instead of feeling relieved, Lucy felt even more guilty. That was the sort of homework that they usually did together.

"Yuck. Sorry! Didn't mean to bug you..."

SEND! Lucy paused and stared at the bed. Moving forward with her previously chosen plan, Lucy turned back to her top two outfits of choice and snapped the pictures. Once she saved them in the phone, her fingers started typing again.

"Just tell me which looks best and I'll leave you to it. Promise! Hold for pictures..." SEND

Pic One SEND
Pic Two SEND

"Ok...sexy purple power, or sweet sunny yellow? With jacket, of course..." SEND

[Avinea Jale]

Avi's head was currently against the desk. Hitting it repeatedly. She didn't know why she felt so bad but she did. All she wanted was for things to go back to normal. And Lucy to not be going out on a date with a college guy.

She hated doing English homework and wished it was something else. It wasn't helping that the math homework was all done and handed in.She couldn't go running because it was raining outside, and she didn't want to go to the gym either. Avi was trying to distract herself ad it wasn't working.

Avi read the text that was being sent and sighed. Lucy didn't get it yet did she?

S'all right, but I told you I was doing homework.

Avi sent the reply hoping that would get her to be left alone. It hurt lying to her friend. It hurt her friend didn't know.

When the new text came Avi sighed and waited. She really didn't want to do this and she didn't want her friend to go.

Eying each Picture that was sent Avi shook her head and looked down. To her both didn't suit Lucy, and both had extremely short skirts. Deciding to be a little mean Avi quickly typed out a reply.

What are you trying to do? Get him to take you and F**k you on the first date? The skirt is way too short and we both know that. Your seventeen and hes in college. Frankly I can only think of one thing he wants to be going out with a seventeen year old.

Avi took a deep breath before sending the last part.

If you want my advice on the clothes its this. Neither of them work. Jeans and a blouse with accessories. But... Just be careful all right. I don't know this guy and I just have a bad feeling about this...

Avi looked down as she pressed send. Hopefully Lucy wouldn't even go on the date.

[Lucy Holiday]

Once again the phone buzzed while Lucy was in the middle of taking the pictures. This time she just ignored it until she had finished up. After sending the pictures, Lucy shook her head at the reply. Ok, Avi was right. She had warned Lucy that she was doing homework. The guilt trip was thickly piling up. This time Lucy decided not to respond. She just sent the pictures and waited for Avi's opinion.

Lucy fingered the little disco ball earrings as she waited. Geez. This was taking forever! Holding the skirt up to her in the mirror, Lucy almost missed the sound of the phone buzzing. She really did need to take it off of vibrate. Throwing the skirt back on the bed, Lucy grabbed her phone and scrolled through the message. Holy crap! Once again her eyes flew wide and her jaw dropped. Lucy's fingers flew over the keys furiously..

"OMG! What the hell, Avi? You don't even know this guy! He just likes metas. GEEZ!" SEND

With the anger building, Lucy threw her phone down on the desk. It buzzed almost as soon as it hit. She crossed her arms over her chest and considered not even reading it. Unfortunately the guilt she'd built up for ignoring Avi too often lately wouldn't let that happen. Lucy picked the phone back up and sighed. Rolling her eyes at Avi's warning, Lucy texted her back.

"And maybe I don't want to be careful! Maybe that's exactly what I want! You're just jealous because he wants to f**k me. Maybe I want to go just so we can f**k all night!" SEND

As soon as her thumb applied pressure to the SEND button, Lucy felt a sharp twist of regret. Oh, no. No, no, no! That was NOT a good way to handle things...

[Avinea Jale]

Avi bit her lip looking down at her homework. She knew the moment she sent it that Lucy wouldn't want to hear what she was saying. Avi was saying the truth and her basis of the text was in fact. Looking at the screen Avi sighed and furiously typed out a reply.

THAT'S JUST IT!!! I don't know him. I don't know who he is! I don't know what he does... I don't know anything about this guy. And the thing about metas... It makes me think hes just using you for being a meta.

Avi hit send before she thought about it and shook her head. She didn't know this person and she didn't like that she had no information about him. All she knew was that he was in college and he was taking Lucy out on a date. It made her nervous.

When the new text came Avi just sat there dumbstruck for a minute. was that really what Lucy thought? It hurt her that Lucy thought that and she slowly typed out a reply before looking down.

Fine.

Avi sent the text before typing out another reply this time tears on her face.

Sorry for caring Lucy. And how in the hell would you know what I want? Maybe I do. Then at least you would be with someone who actually cares about you. Sorry. I'll just leave it alone. Obviously you don't want to hear what I have to say. Sorry.

Avi sent the text and turned off her phone, starting to cry. All she was trying to do was help and Lucy didn't want it. Why was it Lucy was the only one who could make her cry?

[Lucy Holiday]

The longer the conversation went on, the more agitated and confused Lucy became. This was totally off! This was NOT the typical predate ritual. The normal ritual involved chocolate and gossip and helping each other pick the sexiest outfit possible...then talking each other out of it - but not this way! Lucy didn't know why Avi had a stick up her butt at the moment but it was definitely killing the predate buzz! The petite brunette was practically glaring at the phone and daring it to vibrate at this point. When it did, she stared at the continued lecture and huffed.

"Who are you, my mother?" SEND That was exactly who her so called friend sounded like at the moment. Lucy was hurt that Avi wasn't excited for her like she used to always be. Lucy was pissed off that Avi had NO faith that this guy might simply like Lucy because she was Lucy! The more Lucy thought about the situation, the angrier she got. And so the text full of f**king got sent. As soon as it was gone, Lucy regretted it... but not for long.

As she paced across the room the phone buzzed once more. Fine. Fine! Maybe she would go get laid! Maybe she'd do it just to prove to Avi that she could get laid by a hot college guy. Maybe....the phone buzzed once again and interrupted her thoughts. Anger and frustration were quickly replaced by confusion.

Lucy shook her head and held the screen closer to her face. Wait...what? The reply made absolutely no sense. She read the words again and threw her hands up in the air. Ok. This was crazy! From the sounds of it Avi had just implied that she wanted to f**k Lucy and be with her. Flopping down on the bed, Lucy sighed in exhaustion. All she wanted to do was get her BFF's advice and now everything was all twisted. Lucy took a deep breath and began to type more slowly.

"Avi, what the hell are you on about? Dude, I know you care. I'm sorry! I'm GLAD you care. I DO want to hear what you say. You're just confusing the hell out of me tonight..." SEND

Laying back on the bed, Lucy waited for a reply. Ten minutes and none came. Oh, crap. Only ten minutes left to get ready. Feeling totally odd about the date, Lucy reluctantly got dressed. She chose a mixture of cute and sexy - the yellow top and accessories with a pair of flattering jeans and the cherry high heels. After finishing up her lip gloss, Lucy made one more text attempt.

"Come on, Avi! Please don't ignore me. You know I love you, right? Avi?"

No reply. Lucy's bottom lip was practically bruised from biting it. She slipped the phone in her back pocket and strolled downstairs to wait for her date. As she waited she scrolled back through the texts. Lost in thought, Lucy began to dwell on the final text from Avi and what she thought it might mean. The thoughts galloped away in her brain as she waited and tried to ignore the growing heat in her cheeks. Suddenly Lucy couldn't get Avi's lips off of her mind. This was going to be a long night.
