LUCKY

We spent four hours shopping for clothes.

Four fucking hours shopping for clothes with a woman who hates shopping for clothes.

I don’t know if I’m ever going to go shopping, even for myself again after that.

It’s very possible Leo smacked me somewhere along the lines of eighty times, cussed a blue streak every time I made her try something on, and threw her boots at me whenever I reminded her they had to come off before her pants. Leo almost cried—she couldn’t hold it back after the stress of all this shit—when the lady in charge of the dressing rooms made a comment to her coworker about Leo’s scars. They talked about mine, too, but insecure or not, I’m past caring what people have to say about me. Talking about my girl, though? That shit will get you a reality check so fucking fast your head will spin.

Those bitches are lucky their heads didn’t roll after I was done with them.

I put all our shit back and they lost what would have been a huge sale, complained to the manger about how they hired judgmental assholes so we wouldn’t be coming back, and as soon as they recognized who we were, I told them to fuck off.

Neither of us need their phony sympathy or compensation in order to prevent us from suing.

Which I threatened to do on the way out, even though I won’t.

Then we switched stores and started all over again.

Leo was pretty deflated after that and she was finally ready to scrap the whole thing.

When Leo looks at herself all she sees is her scars and years of self neglect. She doesn’t see how fucking beautiful she is, how strong and resilient she is. Leonor can’t see those things, not anymore but I’m determined as hell to get her to open her eyes again. And once all of our ducks are in a row, I know she’ll start seeing herself the way we see her, the way we’ve always seen her.

Until then, Leo sees a broken girl who has spent years burying trauma and living in fight or flight mode.

I brought it up to her primary and psychiatrist when we hit those appointments—yes, I go to them and Leo lets me sit in and ask questions—and that’s how they put it. Until earlier, Leo was starting to come around. Then those cuntasaurus’ had to run their mouths within earshot.

Fucking bullshit.

Which brings us to our current stop, and hopefully this’ll go much better.

“I don’t want to do this, Lucky,” Leo says as she stops right inside the door of the next store.

“I know.” I press a kiss to her temple. “But you have to get something and like you said, we’re out now, let’s avoid another trip later.”

With a deep breath and hesitant nod, my girl straightens her spine and starts walking through Stitches—one of our regular haunts because it has the best vintage punk and rock shit—in search of anything that will salvage this trip into town.

Maybe she’ll get new shitkickers.
