Samantha's POV:

I woke up before anyone else did and I made my way to the bathroom. It's only 8 am and everyone usually sleeps in until like 10. What should I do? I could go for a run to burn calories but it's pretty bad out considering it is winter. Maybe I'll go to the gym....yeah I'll do that. I stepped onto the scale and watied for that daunting number to come up. 123.0. 123 pounds? I gained 2 pounds? I punched the wall as a tear slid down my cheek. I can do better. I have to do better. Today is November 30th. That means theres 3 days until my birthday and 25 days until Christmas. I'm going to do a water fast for 3 days until my birthday and then restrict my calories to 500 a day and fast on weekend until Christmas. I need to lost atleast 10 pounds by Christmas. I changed into my running pants and a hoodie. I grabbed a water bottle and my keys and headed to the gym.

Woo. That was quite a work out. I stepped off of the treadmill and read my heat monitor. I ran 6 miles burning about 650 calories. Not bad. I took a drink of my water when I saw someone come up to me. It was a girl that looked about my age, she had blonde hair, green eyes, and looked about my age. She was also really skinny...like dangerously skinny. "Um, hey....I'm Ashley." she said. "Hi! I'm Samantha. Nice to meet you." I said. "I saw you working out pretty hard!" she said. "Yeah, I could always lose a few extra pounds." I said. Ha, more like 20. "Yeah, me too. So, how old are you?" she asks. "I'll be turning 19 in 3 days. You?" I ask. "I turned 19 about 3 months ago." she said. "Cool. Well, I should get home but here's my number. Text me anytime." I said. We waved goodbye and I headed out to my car. Maybe I just made a new friend....

I walked inside the house and I didn't see anyone. Maybe they were still asleep? "Where have you been?" I heard a voice ask. I looked up and it was Zayn. "I just went for a little walk." I lied. If he knew I went to the gym he'd get all worried again. "For 2 hours?" he asks. "Yeah, it was nice out." I say. "Sam, it's literally a blizzard out there." he says. I shrug my shoulders and go upstairs to the bedroom so I can change my clothes. I put jeans and a hoodie on and then put my earbuds in and blasted my Pierce The Veil playlist.

Zayn's POV:

So, Samantha's birthday is in 3 days and I wanted to do something special for her. I'm planning to plan her a surprise party that's seashelled themed. I remember on our first date how she told me she loves them and collects them. After the party I'm going to send her upstairs and there will be a beautiful dress and new jewelry for her to put on so we can go to a fancy dinner afterwards. It'll be perfect. I, of course, can not do this alone. I think I'm going to need someone who is very girly and creative.....Jasmine.

"Do you think we can do this?" I ask Jasmine. "Absolutely! This'll be so much fun!" she exclaims. I really hope Samantha likes it. We just have to get her out of the house tomorow. I went to our bedroom to see if she was there and she was. Of course she was listening to music. I remove one earbud out of her ear and she looked surprised for a second until she realized it was me. "Hey, are you doing anything tomorrow?" I ask. "Um, yeah...I'm going to the movies with a new friend I made today, why?" she says. "A new friend?" I ask. "Yeah, I met her at the park today when I was walking. Her names Ashley." she explains. "Oh, ok. I was just wondering because Jasmine and I are shopping tomorrow and I wanted to see if you were able to go or not but that okay...have fun with your new friend!" I say. "Oh, sorry....I'd go if I could." she says. "It's totally fine. Besides..it might be good for you to get out with someone different." I say. She just smiles at me. "I love you." I say. "I love you too." she says while giving me a kiss. I go back down to the living room to tell Jasmine.

"Good news. We can get the decorations tomorrow since Sam is going to the movies with her new friend. We just have to get her out of the house before the party on her birthday." I say. "New friend?" Jasmine asks. "Yeah, apparently she met her today and her names Ashley." I told her. She looked kind of hurt. "Oh.....well I guess that'll give us time to get everything for the party then." she solemnly says. I didn't push the subject because I didn't want her to feel worse. Hopefully Samantha doesn't replace Jasmine with Ashley....
