We all walk through the mall.
"right I just have to not put any weight on until the dance" Daisy says
"Can you girls shut up about fucking dresses" James says and I roll my eyes
"Shut up James, you don't appreciate us enough" Ella says and i smirk
"Your watching us pick out dresses anyway then we're helping your dumbasses with the suits" Mia says

"Oh Eden you look gorgeous" Mia says and I walk out of the dressing room to see a bunch of smiling girls and a bunch of half asleep teenage boys.
I look at Ethan who looks on edge and I narrow my eyes at him.
"Finally!" Nate says looking at me and I stand on in front of a big mirror
"Definitely the one" Harriet says
"Stunning" Evie says
"You look so beautiful" Jaz says and I look back in the mirror and see the faint scars on my arms and I start to hear the high pitch ringing noise in my ears.
All of a sudden I see a familiar face glance inside the shop.
Azizi?
I gasp turning around and I run towards the door
"Eden?" Mia asks confused as I out out of the door.
I run up to the man wearing all black with his hood up and grab his arm and twist it back and he turns to face me.
It's not him.
"Hey! What are you doing!" He shouts at me
"Sorry" I say letting him go instantly
He looks at me confused before looking at my dress, "are you alright love?", his British accent shining through
"Sorry I though you were somebody else" I say before walking towards the railing taking and letting our deep breaths.
I stare at my hands as they shake.
I look forwards to see an oddly familiar dolphin fountain.
"What are you doing?" Mia asks me snapping my gaze from the fountain to her.
"Sorry, i was just really hot" I say
"I'll ask the lady to turn it down" Mia tells me and i nod covering up my shaky hands and I walk back in
"Are you okay?" Jaz asks me
"Yeah sorry I just got a bit panicky" I say before heading back to the dressing room.
I sit down and stare at myself in the mirror.
"Eden?" I hear Ethan ask
"I'm naked" I lie
"Been there done that" he says and I let out a laugh and he walks in
"What's going on? You've been on edge all day" he says
"It doesn't matter" I say
"Come on, just talk to me" he says
"I'm imagining things" I say, "I'm seeing people that aren't there"
