My foot slammed onto the brakes and I threw my car in park in the Wal-Mart parking lot. I was so tired of fighting with my boyfriend. This fight happened to result in him throwing all my CD's from their holder on the wall. The only one that broke was my favorite Slipknot CD, which is why I was now at Wal-Mart. I had the entire album on my iPod, but I liked having a hard copy. I quickly found the music aisle in the store and searched for the 'S' section in Rock.Once I found the little bin that read 'Slipknot' my hand reached out for their self-entitled album. Not fast enough apparently because someone else's fingers pulled the last one from the collection.

"Are you fucking kidding me?" I groaned and turned to look at the person.

He had long, light brown hair and was well over my short height. I eyed the tattoos that covered his chest, neck, and arms.

"Shit I'm sorry, here" He apologized and held the CD out to me.

"No it's fine" I sighed and ran my hand through my blonde hair "You take it, I've got it all on my iPod anyway" I turned on my heel and headed towards the aisle where the drinks were.

"Hey! Wait up!" The guy yelled and jogged up to me. "I'm Austin"

"Lillian" I kept my replies short as I reached for a can of green tea. I might as well get something since I drove all the way here.

"Look, I don't wanna seem weird or anything and if you're having a bad day I get it, my day's been shit too. I was just wondering if you wanted to go grab some coffee real quick?" Austin said still following me.

"No" I said as we neared the cash register.

"Oh. I'm sorry I-"

"Oh my god I'm so sorry that probably sounded really mean. It's just that I can't, I have a boyfriend" I said smiling up at him apologetically.

"Wow! Oh my god! I meant like as friends! I'm actually married" He laughed rubbing the back of his neck. "I figured it would be pretty fuckin' rad to have a friend that's a girl and likes Slipknot, it's not very often you find that, usually they cringe" I started laughing along with him. He was completely right.

"Uhm, what's your number?" I said biting my lip while I paid.

"Here gimme your phone. I'll put in there, don't want people knowing my phone number" He said taking my iPhone from my hands. He tapped the screen a few times and handed it back to me. "I called mine so you can't just never talk to me"

"You're very sneaky Mr. Austin" I laughed and waited for him to pay. We walked out to the parking lot together in silence, there was nothing awkward about it which was strange considering we just met.

"Well, this is my car." He motioned to the black Dodge Challenger to his right.

"And this is mine" I laughed doing the same to the Dodge Charger beside it that was all black with Pink detailing.

"Looks like our taste in cars is similar too" He laughed getting into his own.

"Looks that way" I flashed him a smile and got into my car while I watched him drive off. A few minutes later my phone was vibrating in my lap.

From: Austin Carlile, Tues. Nov. 3rd. 12:47 p.m.
So how about that coffee? (:

I smiled and tapped out my message on my phone while I was stopped a red light.

To: Austin Carlile, Tues. Nov. 3rd. 12:51 p.m.
Right now? Really? lol

It vibrated again but I didn't check it until I was parked in front of my apartment building.

From: Austin Carlile, Tues. Nov. 3rd. 12:54 p.m.
Well, unless your busy. I've got nothing to do for the rest of the day so I'd rather waste some time with you

I stared at the window of my apartment where James was waiting for me without a doubt and made a split second decision as I answered Austin.

To: Austin Carlile, Tues. Nov. 3rd. 1:02 p.m.
You know what? Now sounds perfect actually.

"Austin Robert Carlile if you do not get off that couch I am gonna kick your butt" I whined standing in front of the tv.

"What kind of best friend are you? I'm mourning!" He stared at me with mock hurt on his face.

"You finished the last episode of The New Girl. There is no reason to be mourning you big baby" Gielle laughed sitting down next to him.

"You have a doctors appointment! Let's go!" I grabbed his big hand and pulled as hard as I could, not making him move at all.

"I'll go if Gielle goes" He crossed his arms over his chest and stuck his chin out.

"Gielle is not going. Gielle hates the doctors" She said speaking in third person. "Especially one's that have specific names or categories or whatever"

"Well it looks like I'm not going then" Austin said.

"Austin Carlile would you like to die?" I glared at him. This was getting ridiculous and I only knew one way to make him go no matter what. He shook his head no. "Then get your booty off the couch and in the car so we can go to the Cardiologist."

"Cardiologist-smardiologist" He mumbled pushing himself off the couch and grabbing the pair of Vans next to him. He shoved his feet into the shoes and made his way to the door.

"Bye baby! Good luck!" Gielle shouted from the couch. He just grunted and walked out to my car. "Don't let him bully you Lilian!" she said to me before I walked out the door.

"I never do!" I laughed. When I got in my car Austin refused to look at me, just the same as every time I take him to the doctors office. He hates going. "I know you're scared"

"Am not" he defended.

"Austin"

"Lily what if he doesn't have any good news. What if things got worse." He stared at me, the fear was apparent in his eyes.

"Well, how have you been feeling?" I said turning off of his street.

"Fine. I mean obviously not fine but I feel the same" He rolled his eyes as he said the word 'fine' for the second time.

"Then maybe nothing's changed..."

"Yeah and maybe you and James won't fight when you get home" He snorted.

"Shut the fuck up." I snapped.

"Yeah yeah, it's none of my business. Whatever."

"You are so fucking rude" I groaned as I pulled into a parking space. I got out of the car and Austin followed suit.

"He's an asshole" Austin whispered as we walked into the office.

"You're wife won't even go to doctors appointments with you."

"She doesn't like the doctors"

"Bullshit, I don't like them either. She's just a bitch." I retaliated.

"So?" He answered. I stared at him in disbelief, he could be so stupid sometimes.

"Austin Carlile?" A woman said as she poked her head out of a door in the waiting room. Austin got up and sprinted over to her, whispering something as soon as he got there. The woman nodded and a smile spread across Austins face.

"Lily, come on. I need you for moral support." He waved me over to him.

"You're a big baby" I said as we walked down the hallway to the small room that he would be hooked up to countless amounts of machines and wires. I hated seeing everything attached to him.

"A big baby who needs his very best fwend" He stuck out his bottom lip in a pout and batted his eyelashes after sitting on the examination table.

"Ew shut up" I laughed and held out my hand for him to hold. He wrapped his long fingers around mine and squeezed my hand when the doctor walked in.

"Alright Mr. Carlile, let's get you started" He said as he reached for the heart monitor pads in the top cabinet. Austins hand squeezed my own lightly.

"You're gonna be fine" I smiled up at him. I felt him relax beneath my fingers. I just pray that everything turns out okay today.
