Not pretty enough

Celine looked at the mirror, but turned her head away right away. She didn't like anything what she saw. She hated her nose, she wanted bigger lips and eyes. She thought her chin is too big and it's like man's chin. Even she had fixed her teeth many years ago, she still heard how people called her 'Dracula' and 'vampire'.

 She looked at the mirror again and she wasn't confident even of her body anymore. Even she was 38 years old woman, she didn't feel like woman at all. Celine lied down on her bed and closed her eyes. She didn't want to go anywhere.

 Robin was already ready so she went to Celine's room to watch how she was doing. When she knocked the door and opened it, she saw Celine lying on the bed. She closed the door and sat down next to her. "What are you doing?" Robin laughed. Celine didn't say anything and Robin knew something was wrong. "Okay Cel, tell me what's wrong", she said and raised her right eyebrow. "I don't wanna go", Celine mumbled and kept her eyes closed. "Why? It is your party, of course you will go", Robin was confused. Earlier in that day Celine was all right and she was excited about to go. "I don't find a dress", Celine lied. Robin looked at the chair where was her dress and under the chair were her shoes too. "It's not that...", Robin said and Celine got up. "I...", Celine said but felt embarrassing to tell the real reason. "I just don't wanna go anymore!" she told. Robin saw something was wrong and she didn't believe her. "You can tell me Celine", she said and looked at her. "I'm not pretty enough, okay? I don't feel like a woman. I don't feel confident with myself", Celine said and got up from the bed.

 She went in front of the mirror and looked at herself. Robin was a little shocked how Celine felt about herself. She had always been so confident in her own skin and she had never talked like this before. "Cel, what do you mean? You are beautiful and confident woman!" Robin said and looked at Celine. Celine looked at her through the mirror, but didn't say anything. "You look so much better than some models, so I don't understand what are you talking about", Robin said and Celine turned around. "Sometimes I still hear how people are calling me 'Dracula' and how they laugh at me. I have never felt beautiful", Celine told tears in her eyes. "I've been always that tall and extremely skinny, awkward girl who had no friends." Robin came to Celine and hugged her. "But look at yourself now. You are successful woman who is happily in marriage. You have a beautiful little boy and you are one of the best selling female artist. Why you even bother to think what other people had said to you?" Celine sobbed and tried to calm down. "Sometimes I don't feel pretty at all", Celine whispered and hugged Robin tightly.

 When Celine calmed down, Robin made her hair and Celine did her makeup herself. She put her dress and shoes and looked at the mirror. Her light brown hair were curly and her lips were red. Her dress was black just like her Prada's heels. "You need just one thing", Robin said and smiled. "What is it?" Celine asked and gave a little smile. "That", Robin winked. Celine was confused and looked at the mirror. She understood what Robin meant and gave a bigger smile. "Don't shame your teeth anymore, because you girlfriend have a beautiful smile", Robin smiled and they went downstairs. "We are ready to go", Robin said and her husband and Rene turned around. "You are very beautiful Celine", Rene stared at her and couldn't looked away. "Thank you", Celine smiled and winked at Robin.
