THIRTEEN
"Just try on the princess dress, then your mom will leave you alone,â Ashley whispered, our heads pressed together in a rack of gowns.
âHereâs the thing. I donât want to.â
âI donât think that matters. Your mom is determined to see a princess, so you better give her a princess.â
I rolled my eyes and snatched the closest cupcake dress from the rack, and walked it to the consultant, Chloe. âCan we try this or something like this?â
My momâs eyes lit up when she saw all the tulle in my hands. âOh Sasha, thatâs lovely.â
âGlad you think so.â I followed the chipper dress consultant to the dressing rooms.
After a lot of wiggling, pulling, and a panel of fabric to hide my ass, I waddled out to the platform surrounded by mirrors.
I stepped onto the dais and kept my eyes on my ridiculous reflection. I looked like a ginger Cinderella.
âOh, honey!â My mom gushed, jumping up from her seat, champagne sloshing over the rim of her glass. âYou look like a princess!â Her hands fussed with the layers of the skirt as I stood with my jaw on the floor.
âYou like it?â
She looked up at me in the mirror, her hands smoothing the fabric on my waist that bunched because the sample size didnât fit me. They could order my size. The designer was a rarity that focused on midsize and up, but, of course, the store only had the smallest size available to try on.
âLike it? I love it!â
Positive words while trying on clothes were a rarity with my mom, so the urge to agree was strong. I looked back at my reflection, trying my damnedest to like it, but the dress was absolutely horrid. âItâs . . . nice,â I forced out.
My mom gave me a watery smile, laughing. âYou hate it. But thank you for trying.â She wiped under her eyes as she shooed me and back to the dressing room. âGo try on one of those sexy, lacy, silky things you girls picked.â
We all laughed as I hustled back into the dressing room. Everyone was having a good time and enjoying each otherâs company, and I was positively floating by the time we got to the last dress.
As soon as I slid the satin mermaid number over my body, I knew. The dress was made for me, well, once they cut one to my measurements.
Chloe smiled sweetly and held up a tissue box. âShould we go out there and show them how amazing you look?â
I took a tissue and twisted it in my hands. Blinking back tears, I cleared my throat. âLetâs do it.â
She swung the door open, and I took a step out. All conversation died when they noticed me. I tried to keep my hands from shaking as Chloe helped me up onto the platform. My three reflections confirmed I looked terrific.
As the seconds ticked by and no one spoke, my nerves won out, and I looked behind me. âYou guys.â I choked out a sob.
Adriana, Jazz, Ashley, and Sarah held hands, tears welling in their eyes.
