Carter P.O.V


"And then i was like, God said to Abraham, 'Abraham' and Abraham replied with 'What'.
And God said to John 'Come forth and receive eternal life', but John came fifth and won a toaster.And Judas approached the Rabbis and Pharisees saying 'The one whom i kiss is the one who you seek', to which they responded 'Gay'. And thus, God made Eve. And she was BAMMIN' SLAMMIN' BOOTYLICIOUS!" i exclaim to everyone, their mouths were gaped and eyes were wide. Austin scratched his head and furrowed his brows at Alan and Crystal.


"What did we hear?" Alan mutters lowly
"You'll get use to it" Crystal whispers
"Ha! I still can't" Austin chuckles
"Tell me, im an amazing story teller" i grin
"She was bammin' slammin' bootylicious?" Austin covers his mouth from smiling
"You bet my sweet ass that is how it happened" i strut away to my room


It has been about a week since Austin and i had our movie night and realized we were the same people as in highschool. Alan and Crystal have been pretty close and it scares me. Alot. I've never seen her in a relationship this long. Austin and i aren't really together, just friends. Though he has been kind of, i don't know. He hugs me alot, always near me. Constantly trying to speak to me. Also has been eating my food. All of it.


Were supposed to be going out somewhere tonight. Only me and him. He hasnt told me where, just wants to catch up. I actually cant wait. I mean, he is random and full of surprises. I also have forgotton what is was like to be around him. I've missed his laughs and smiles and snorts and hugs. He's like 6'4 and im like 5'1. Over a foot taller than me!


"Hey!" he wraps his arms around mine and hugs me as he rest his head on top of mine
"Hello Austin" i giggle
"Whatcha doing?" he falls back to my bed and props his head up with his arm.
"I'm uh, picking out something for tonight. What are you doing?" i cooed
"Helping you, well, i'm actually going to pick you out something to wear. Sit." he pats the bed


I sigh and shake my head but plop on my bed. He goes to my closet and starts to work. He pulls down many jeans, shirts, tanks, shoes. He makes his way to my dresser and does the same. Scratches his neck alot. Mutters lowly quite alot. He finally finds jeans, a tank, and boots. But no actual shirt.


"And the shirt?" i pip up
'Oh! I have this flannel i want you to wear. Also can you make your hair look naturally messy? Where were going, itll be windy" he laughs
"Sure thing" i smile


He tells me he's going to go get his shirt at his house and hugs me before he leaves.

So it's 9 at night.
I just finished my makeup and text Austin im ready. Im awkwardly kind of nervous. Austin's outfit that he put together looked pretty good. Impressive actually. I see car lights and see Austin is already here. I jog down my stairs and Dobey follows me down. Wagging his tail and making faint wimpers because im leaving.
"Be a good boy" i grin to him as i shut my front door, not even bothering to tell Alan and Crystal bye


I jog on out to his car to see him laughing. Like always. I open up and flounce in. The smell of his cologne lingered in the air and i smiled. He must have noticed because he chuckled.
I tried to ask where we were going but he kept putting his finger to his lips and telling me to shush. Some moments when i would look out the window i would catch him staring at me. I tried to hold back my smile but it only turned into a laugh.


We pull up at a...beach? Yup, a beach. With sand and water. And wind. Oh. The wind.
I get out the car and take off my boots. Im totally walking barefoot. Austin does the same as well because when he came around to me, his jeans were rolled up. He picks me up and throws me over his shoulder. He runs down to the water as i squeal and giggle.


We come to a stop near a grassy area. He snorts as he puts me down from laughing and sits down beside me.
"Well?" he smiles
"Well what?" i asks stupidly
"This duh. How is it?" i asks with what looks like nervousness in his eyes
"Its amazing" i breath out to him
"Just like you" he cooed
"Horrible liar by the way. Can i smoke?" i giggle
"If you say so. I don't care. Are you cold?" he wonders
"Nah, im good" i light up

Apprentantly i was not good. In Austins eyes i was freezing. He must have had a blanket in his hand when he grabbed me earlier because he layed it out and wrapped it tightly around him and i. His felt abnormally warm against me. I rested my head on his shoulder and smiled. His hand snaked down to my waist and held on even tighter. I put out my cigarette and then couldnt help but to look up.


Since the moon was around, i could see him almost clearly. His crooked grin, his tongue in between his white teeth. I couldnt help but to smile, and the more i hid it, the more it showed.
"Ive really missed you, ya'know?" he says softly
"Im sorry for ever leaving" my voice cracks a bit as i remember the day i walked away
"I had big plans for us" he laughs "Get married. Have kids. Grow old. Die" he smiles
"Oh yeah. Very big" i say sarcasticly
"Well, there would be other stuff. I don't know what. But im pretty sure there couldve been" he laughs
"We were like, in highschool. You never even had the guts to ask me out. Now you say you had a plan for us to get married and have kids?" i pip
"And grow old and die" he nods violently
"Austin!" i shove him playfully


We didnt really say nothing else. My mind was just set on that day i left. I regret it, i really do. I remember how the hot florida sun made sweat all over me. Austin sat with his dead in his hands on my porch. His face was red. My jaw was locked. His eyes were puffy. My tongue was being held down by my teeth. I was leaned up against the back of my Aunts car. I couldnt even speak to him. I was faintly shaking my head as i had my arms crossed.

"Hey" Austin shakes me from my thoughts
"What?" i squeek
"You went silent. I noticed your eyes were glossy a bit. Are you okay?" he sits in front of me and grabs my shoulders
"Im fine." i smile "Just got lost"
