After my hair was all vibrant and refreshed, Austin and I decided to go "Sightseeing". If you don't know already, I live in Sydney, Australia. So we were going to drive the 8 hour drive to Melbourne to go shopping and stay the night in a hotel. About 2 hours into the drive, we decided to turn on the radio. The song Somethings gotta give came on and we instantly had a full on jamming session.
"This should be our song!", he yelled over the stereo.
I laughed and nodded as I sang along to "our song".

8 hours later we found ourselves at our hotel, the car ride was filled with loud music and corny jokes.
After we put our stuff in our rooms, we decided to go out to eat. I wore ripped girlfriend jeans, a pink knit sweater and flip flops.
I was looking at my menu when Austin asked me a question,"What does your tattoo say?"
I looked down at my wrist to see my sleeve was rolled up, exposing my ink filled wrist.
"Um it says, if you never break you'll never know how to put yourself back together. I was in a really bad place a while ago."
I looked down as I spoke, I felt Austins hand gently push my head up. He smiled at me, "I Love you"
Wait? What?
The Fuck?
Wait.....Huh?????
He must have seen my face because he quickly explained, "Ever since I saw you I knew I liked you. You're beautiful, kind, funny and an amazing girl. I Love you Nikki Angel."
I started to cry, "I Love you too, Austin Collins. I always have."
