RECAP
"Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. OW!" I scream.
"Honey, what's wrong?" Austin asks me.
"Oh, nothing. Just trying to forget something."
Austin gave me that look I dreaded. "So, your way of forgetting something is by hurting your wrist with a hair band?" (a/n: I actually do this. I don't know why. Also, you'll find out the real reason why she does this later.)
"..." I hesitate. "Yupp!"
Phew! That was close! I don't want Austin finding out why I really hurt myself with a hair band. He would blow a blood vessel. And I don't want to see my boyfriend bleed.
Hi. My name is Zuri. I'm 17 years old, and, obiviously, Austin is my boyfriend.
END OF RECAP
"Zuri!" my mom yelled. "Come here!"
"Coming!" I hollered back. "I wonder what she wants..."
"I don't know..." Austin smiles, "Maybe I should come with."
I grab Austin's hand and guided him down the stairs, like he really needed to be guided through my house. We're smiling and laughing once we reach the last step when we see someone we've seen before sitting on my couch. He had a piece of rope in his hands, fiddling with it to make knots. He looked up when me and Austin stepped to the main floor.
"Maybe Austin should go upstairs..." Mom trailed off.
'Please don't make him go upstaris,' I thought. 'It's bad enough he's here.'
"Mom, Why is Finnick here?" (a/n: Hunger Games reference. Remember when I said he was fiddling with rope? Finnick Odair fiddled with rope in the 3rd book to keep calm. Bonus points to you if you get the reference. :D)
"Well..." Mom started, "Finnick is your future husband..."
"My WHAT!?" My jaw dropped. Finnick can't be my fiance. He can't be! Austin already proposed! I was about to tell her!
"Your fiance," Mom repeated. She noticed the glimmer on my left hand. "What's that?" Finnick noticed, too.
"Well, I was just about to tell you. Austin kinda proposed to me today..."
"Figures," Finnick snorts. My hand releases Austin's and heads towards my left wrist. I began pulling the hair band, releasing it, and pulling it back again. (a/n: yes i really do do this.) "Stop hurting your wrist." Wow. Finnick actually cares for once in his life.
"Make me," I come back with.
"I have my ways."
I roll my eyes. I can't believe she's making me marry him. He's the reason why I have the hair band. He's the reason why I'm emo.
*flashback to 9th grade*

I got my first vote on any of my works and I was so happy! I had to end it with the flashback because I couldn't come up with anything. I'm aiming to post the 2nd chapter by this Wendsday or Thursday. Thanks for reading!
