Move Your Body When The Sunlight Dies
"Do you want a white dress?" Kailey asks, leaning against the rack of wedding dresses at David's Bridal.
"I don't know." I reply honestly as I push aside the row of dresses before me.
"How about this one?" Charlotte asks, holding up a short white sun-like wedding dress with beading on the top.
"I don't think a short white wedding dress is going to look great." I reply sheepishly looking at my skinny legs.
It's been about a month since Gerard's proposal and I could feel the dizziness of my heart tumor taking effect. I still refuse to go to treatement; wanting to spend more time with Gerard and all my friends.
"I don't know what kind of dress I'm looking for Vanya." Charlotte sighs.
"Let me look." I sigh moving towards the rack.
I push aside dress after dress and an hour later I can't find anything. I wanted to shout in frustration but I know that wont solve anything. I storm my way through the store getting glances from the other customers around me and a few frowns from the clerks. I even hear a few rude comments about my 'anorexia'.
"It's not my fault that I have a fucking tumor in my mother fucking heart!" I scream at them and they silence.
One of the ladies shoots me a sympathetic look and I glare at her.
"I don't need your pity!" I growl, "I only need a fucking wedding dress!"
"Vanya, calm down." Kailey says soothingly.
I feel hot angry tears splash down my face and I want to kick over the rack to my left, but that's when I saw the dress. I turn to the rack and pick up the knee length black dress and hold it up.
"I want to try this dress on." I inform Kailey and Char.
"Alright." they agree, leading my to the dressing rooms.
I carefully remove my clothes and pull the dress over my head, letting out a sigh of reliefe when it fits perfectly. I step out of the fitting room, gaining a gasp from Charlotte and a wimper from Kailey.
"How does it look?" I ask, twirling around a bit.
"It's stunning." Kailey chokes out and Charlotte nods.
I let out the smile I've been holding back for the longest time and I let out a laugh.
"Then this is the dress I will marry Gerard in." I sigh, and I felt happy.
"I don't know." I reply honestly as I push aside the row of dresses before me.
"How about this one?" Charlotte asks, holding up a short white sun-like wedding dress with beading on the top.
