Austin wouldn't let go of me until I heard someone knock on my door.

"Come in!" I screamed, giggling. Alex and Ana walked in. They seemed like really good friends already.

"Wow, what is going on here?" Ana asked. I just laughed as Austin gripped his hold on my waist.

"He doesn't want to let me go!" I laughed.

"Austin, why?" Alex asked mysteriously.

"I don't want to lose her. I let her go, she might leave!" Austin whinned playfully.

"The only place I'll leave to is the bathroom! Austin, I promise I'll come back. Just let me go to the bathroom." I tried to stay serious but I ended up laughing. He whispered in my ear,

"Alright Olive, I'll let you go this time." He loosened his grip on me, until he finally let me go completely. I walked to the bathroom and I looked at myself in the mirror. It was really hot and I was sweating. I put my hair into a fishtail braid and When I walked back out, I overheard Austin talking to Ana.

"Ana, you have to help me out. I need to get her to trust me more.... She doesn't seem fully convinced of me. what can I do?" I was startled. He thought I didn't trust him..... Okay, okay... Maybe not fully. He had to truly prove himself.

"Well, first truly prove yourself. She Needs to know your love for her isn't bullshit.... I know my best friend. She may be a little shy but she's really cool... Do something, she WON'T forget." Wow...... I was really surprised at how well she knew me...

"What Is something unforgettable?" Austin asked, clearly intruiged.

"Dude! Think, does she like talking?" Alex questioned.

"Yes.."

"Then somewhere quiet. Does she mind getting dirty?" 

"Not that I know of." he replied concerned.

"Well, she might like excitement.." 

"I HAVE THE PERFECT DATE!" Austin yelled out, extremely excited. I waited a minute while they talked about how Austin was going to make us official. I entered the room and I sat next to Austin. 

"See? I did come back." I snickered. He grinned and Just laughed. We talked for a while until dinner, which my mom and Michele had agreed that they would be make for us together. We ate and laughed and everything was good and jolly. I didn't remember Dave was here until I saw him helping my mom set the table when I first walked into the kitchen. I was amazed he was so funny. Austin and Dave just kept teasing eachother. When it was finally time to go, the papparazi had left. Of course, It was nearly 12am.. I was worried about Austin and his mom going out into traffic so late.

"Are you going to be okay? It's really late..." I said concerned.

"I'll be fine, don't you worry. Besides, Alex and Dave are driving with me. My mom is driving her own car." he said, confidently. 

"Great, now I'm worried about Michele.." I frowned, looking at the floor. He raised my chin with his finger. 

"It's okay... Don't worry so much. It's gonna be fine." He whispered looking at me directly in the eyes. 

"Okay, Okay. I trust you. " I smiled softly. He pecked my lips and hugged me. He waved goodbye and they left. As soon as I walked into the house, I got a text.

Austin: I miss you already ;)

I laughed.

Me: I miss you too! <3

I found Ana texting too. I looked over her shoulder and saw it was Alex..

"So, you and Alex have a 'thing' "? I asked laughing.

"Stop! You and Austin TOTALLY have a 'thing' too!" She said pushing me softly. We laughed and ran up the stairs. In my room, we lay down and sighed.

"I love Austin completely..... But I don't completely trust him yet..." I frowned. Tomorrow was Monday but Ana still slept over. She was going to wear the clothes she let me borrow for the concert, to school. We stayed up an extra hour and talked about our "Men". We finally fell asleep. and in my dream, Austin and I were in a concert, holding hands and then papparazi came and pulled us apart, I lost my grip on Austin and I couldn't see him andmore. The more I called his name, the more paps appeared. I woke up, sweating, to the sound of the alarm clock. I turned to see Ana snoring away. I shook her carefully.

"Ana, wake up. It's time for school." She opened her eyes and nodded. I went to my mom's bathroom and showered there, and Ana went to our guest bathroom. I was wearing black skinny jeans, a sweater and my black converse. I put my bangs down because I didn't want people to notice me or act differently around me. I did get Ana to help me put eyeliner on. We ate breakfast, brushed our teeth and my mom got into the car and dropped us off. Like usual, no one noticed me, thank goodness. The day was pretty much the same as always. Apparantly, Austin still didn't make us official... Good... my last taste of a normal life. When I was out of school, I got a text.

Austin: how was school today?

Me: typical.... nothing new..

Austin: how about you tell me on the drive home?

As soon as I got that last text, a car honked/ I looked over and I turned toward it. It was a red range rover. I saw Austin stick out his head and smile at me... I looked very different from yesterday. Oh my goodness! What would he think of me looking the way I do? He seemed to not care much... I ran over and got in the car. once inside, I leaned over to kiss him. He smiled and I looked down shyly.

"I know I look different today..... But it's so people won't notice me..." I said, blushing.

"Good, I want no guy to lay eyes on you." He replied, with fake seriousness. I smiled and tucked my hair behind my ears and we drove off.

"So, why did you come all the way over here, to pick me up? on a school night." I asked mysteriously. 

"Well, I couldn't stand not seeing you."

"You could've texted me.." I answered.

"Its not the same thing as seeing you in person." He shook his head.

"Okay... but that can't be the only thing." I grinned.

"Nope, I have a surprise for you." He smiled. We drove off without anymore words but, instead of driving me home he detouredto the amusement park....

"Where are we going?" I asked nervously.

"To have fun together! come on!" He took my hand and squeezed it reassuringly. I nodded and we got out. He got a bag from the back seats and handed it to me.

"I thought you might want to change." Austin blushed. Inside there were some shorts and a tank top, plus a swinsuit. 

"How?....." I asked him. 

"Ana prepared it while you werent with her and she gave it to your mom. All I had to do was pick it up." He smiled slyly...  

"Okay, let me change in the bathroom then...." we paid and went in. I changed in the bathroom. Ana was even kind enough to pack me some elastics and some bobby pins. I fixed my hair and walked out.... We paid for one of those locker thingys and we put the bag there. We ate hotdogs, went on all the rides and when it was really close to sunset, we drove to the beach. There was a big surprise waiting for me. There was a picnic blanket there and a Subway bag there. I smiled and he led me there. We ate and he fed me chocolate strawberries, which coincedentally are my favorite dessert. We finally got in the water and i got completely soaked. When we got out, I wrapped myself in the towel and Austin hugged me.

"Olive, do you trust me?" he whispered. I looked at him in his eyes and responded,

"Now I do. I see you truly love me. I love you too." I whispered kissing him. We smiled and sat together to see what was left of the beautiful Spring Sunset.....
