When I woke up, I waited in my corner for Scott to come and get me. I still didn't quite feel comfortable with walking around his house without his knowing. It seemed rude. I checked the clock on my iPod. 6:47. Ugh. It's so early, he won't be up for another hour! I thought to myself with a huff.

To my surprise though, he came quietly into my room not five minutes later. "Oh good! You're awake! I brought you up some coffee." I jumped up and ran to him. He handed it to me and I took a giant gulp. It burned my throat a little, but I didn't care.

"Why are you up already?" I asked genuinely. He chuckled and rubbed the back of his neck.

"Well, I knew you got up early and I also knew that you would just stay in here until I came, so I got up early so you wouldn't have to be alone." Oh my goodness! That is so sweet! I could not have a better boyfriend! I tried to play it off cool.

"Yeah, that's nice of you." Another sip of the nectar of the gods. I hummed in approval.

"So, I noticed that last time you really enjoyed going out shopping, and I thought we could do that again today. I mean, if you want to."

"Yes! Yes, of course!" I realized how stupid that sounded. "I mean, yeah, that sounds fun."

"You know, you don't have to act normal. I like quirky." I smiled at him and decided to reference myself from one of the first things I'd ever said to him.

"Careful, I'm crazy. I just might maul you." He chuckled. Just like he did when I said something like that for the first time. I shot him the same look I did what seems like forever ago. A look that says, 'I'm serious.' We both held the silence for a good five seconds before we actually burst into laughter. He took my almost empty cup of coffee from my hands and set it on the table. He threw me over his shoulder and started to spin around. I screamed. We were laughing so hard, we were crying. He set me back down and wiped his eyes.

"Get ready, we are going to go soon." He shut the door on his way out, leaving me to change and make myself look presentable.

After about an hour, I felt somewhat satisfied with my appearance. I rushed down the stairs and saw Scott waiting on the couch with his shoes already on and keys already in his hand. "Let's go!" I announced. He sprung from his spot and we started towards his car. He opened the passenger side door for me, making me blush as I got into the seat. "Thanks." He smiled and walked over to his side and got in.

We started our travel into town and it was about a forty-five minute drive, but eventually we made it to the mall. The parking lot was full so we had to park a block away and walk to the mall. The streets were pretty clear and calm, probably because of the early time on this Saturday morning. The mall, however, was buzzing with activity. It was very overwhelming and I wasn't sure I could convince my mind not to flip out about it.

Scott must've noticed because he pulled me into his side and lead my to a wall. We leaned against it so we'd be out of the way. "Mitchie, I can't read your mind. You are going to have to tell me if you feel like you are going to have an episode, okay? I need you to stay close and take deep breaths. I will bring us to the first store. It's not too far." And that's what he did. He knew my style too. The clothes her were beautiful. I looked up at him to see if it was alright if I ran around the store like crazy to look at the clothes. "Go ahead. Call if you need anything, understand?"
