Taylor's pov

"So," Kat sang once she saw me on the couch in the White Claw room, "Are you excited?"

"For what?" I pulled my phone away from over my face, looking up to see her staring at me.

"You and Colby's one month anniversary!" She squealed, "It'll be so much fun!"

I opened my phone once again to check the date. It was July 25th, which means in three days Colby and I would have officially been dating for a month.

How time flies when you're having fun. Note the sarcasm.

"Do you have plans for it yet?" She asked, plopping down on the couch as I sat up to make room for her.

"In all honesty, I completely forgot," I shrugged, folding my hands together, "Should I surprise him or something?"

"Yeah! That's actually a great idea," Kat rested her head in her hand as she thought, "I could see if Sam and I could take him out, maybe to go party or something just to distract him. And you can surprise him here," She waved around.

"Should I tell him about the baby?" I asked, rubbing my thumb on my stomach as I considered all the things I could do for him for our anniversary. It became a habit that replaced biting my nails, and I was relieved because it was something I wanted to quit for a long time.

"If that's what you want to do," She rested her hand on my free one, pulling it into her lap, "I think he'd be really excited,"

"Or he'll leave me and want nothing to do with me and I'll be forced to move back to Texas cause there's no way I'd be able to go back to living in my apartment all the time," I said bluntly.

"You're full of crap," She giggled, "He's not like that, I would know,"

"What are you ladies talking about?" Sam walked in the room, setting the grocery bag down on the floor before sitting down beside Kat.

"Her anniversary. She's so nervous about it, and I'm trying to calm her down," Katrina nudged him, as if she was trying to convince him to help her out.

"Huh," Sam looked at me sympathetically. He knew better than Katrina why I'm dreading this day. He knows about Alex, or at least he's hinted so. And he knows about how I'm pregnant, so he really knows more about my problems than Colby does.

"We'll take care of it," Sam offered the same thing that Katrina did before he walked in, "He's not hard to distract. I'll find some reason for him to go party with us, like a party for Season Three or something, I don't know. I can call him and ask him right now if you'd like,"

"I wouldn't mind," I murmured, leaning forward with interest as he dialed his number, putting it on speaker so the three of us could hear.

"Hello?" Colby's voice came through after the second ring.

"Hey brother, what are you up to?" Sam asked, biting his lip as he thought about how the conversation was going to go.

"Nothing much, I'll be home in, like, twenty minutes. Why?" He sounded completely oblivous, which was a good yet worrying thing.

"So you know how Season Three episode one hit one million views a couple days ago?" Sam held the silence to let Colby absorb the information, "I'm thinking that we should go out to celebrate in a couple days. Also to get away from everything for a night,"

"Who'd be going? Just us four?" Colby asked, indicating Sam, Katrina and I would be going with him.

"Us three, yeah," Sam corrected, "Taylor is going away with Angelina for the week,"
