I woke up curled up at the edge of a couch with a slight pounding ache in my head , the kind one gets when they sleep with wet hair , as I had done. I was wrapped up in Jack's bathrobe. I looked to my right and saw Zack sprawled on the couch next to me. I stretched myself and yawned and then got off the couch to change and make everyone coffee.

I felt someone's hands go over my eyes while I was making the coffee in the kitchen. "Zack?" I said. "Nope" said Jack with an adorable chuckle in his voice. He let go of me and I turned around to face him. "So 'livia.. like last night and stuff, you're cool with it right?" "Mhmmm. Why wouldn't I be?"  I said with a smirk. "No it's just that.. you won't tell anyone right?" "Nope. I promise." I said. "Great. Thanks. Time to wake the rest of the guys up." he said and turned to leave the kitchen. Just as he was walking out, I yelled "I FUCKING KNEW IT!" and he turned around and laughed.

We were all hungover.. well not me but the rest of us and the coffee really did help. We ate some cereal for breakfast and it was time for us to leave. Zack and I grabbed our stuff and got into his car to head back home.

"So Livia, you had fun right?" Zack asked me. He seemed a bit unsure and worried. "I sure did." I said. I squeezed his hand gently and smiled at him.

If you would've told me that my life would be like this a few weeks back, I wouldn't have believed it in a million years. I kinda still don't believe it. Sometimes it all just seems too good to be true. But then, I see him . Right there beside me . And something inside me tells me that he's here to stay.

We stopped on the way to eat something because Zack suddely realized that the amount of cereal he ate wasn't enough for him. 

We reached a cute little cafe and got out. This place was warm and cozy and adorable. And the door had a little bell on it so when you opened or closed it, you heard a little ting sound.

We ordered french toast , pancakes, bacon and a lot more coffee and then sat down. We huddled together on one seat . The cafe had huge glass windows that allowed us to look at the street outside. We looked out of the window together, his hand in mine, while waiting for our food to arrive. I liked this silence. Then we heard the ting of the door followed by some squeels. We looked towards the door and yup, a gang of all time low fans.

I don't know why but I got a little weirded out by them. Like this was our alone time and they had no right to be there. This was all new to me. I guess it was wrong of me to think that way though because they were all around my age and just a few weeks ago, I was one of them so.

A pudgy blonde girl walked up to us, she eyed me , and then looked and zack and said, "Hey Zack would you mind taking a picture with us?" "Nope." Zack said and smiled at her. He got up , then turned around and looked at me for approval. "Go on!" I said to him. He went, took a few pictures with the girls and came back and sat next to me. By the time, our food was here. 

The teenage girls sat at a table pretttyyy darn close to ours and that made the whole experience a tad awkward because they were staring at us the whole time. We quickly gobbled up our food to escape the awkwardness and payed up then bolted out of the cafe.

"This is your life now, Olivia. You're dating a rockstar." Zack said jokingly. I punched him lightly in his side and laughed.

I loved today. It made me feel alive again.
