Song: Red Dress - MAGIC!

"I said hey you with the red dress on, I gotta find a way to take it off. I got a lot of love and its growing strong when I see you with your red dress on"

Delilah

Less than a month later after our first little "fight", Thanksgiving was on the table. Literally. The month of November arrived quicker than I had thought. Louis and I trusted each other and told each other almost everything after what Niall had sent me. It was nice to have someone that I could talk too and know that they trust me back.

Louis and I are going strong, but I still fall asleep with the guilt of the night at the Halloween party. You think I'd be over it that, but I'm not... I still hate myself every second for it. If I could go back and change what I did, I would.

But training has been amazing. I've studied everyday for the test and helping cure my dyslexia. I really got a hang of it, and I'm proud of myself. But I won't stop studying. I need to get a 75% or more on the final or I'll fail the class. And the last thing I want is to fail my last year of English. I still struggle with a few letters, but overall, I can now read a sentence out loud without stuttering. Louis and my Chem teacher were proud of me. Well, they said proud was an understatement.

So to celebrate my accomplishments and our one month anniversary, Louis and I decided to go out for dinner. Not on Thanksgiving, the day before Thanksgiving. Louis' going out of town to visit family for a few days and this was the only day that worked for both of us. Louis wanted it to be really special, so he got a job and worked double shifts. I felt bad, so I got one too. I work at the local vet while Louis is a waiter at a new restaurant called Jack's. I've never been, but I'm sure it's good.

I on the other hand love my job. At first I just got it to make money, but after helping with the animals and taking care of them, I found out my new interests. Animals! I've tried to ask my mom if we can get an animal, but she said no. Which I understand. They're a lot of money to take care of.

But Louis and I have planned for this night ever since I read a whole chapter book to them out loud without stuttering. I stuttered and struggled a bit, but from when I started, I improved a lot. Louis told me we'd celebrate with a big bang, but what I didn't know is that we'd be driving into London to eat at an expensive restaurant. When I found his search history of the place though, I instantly got a job to help. I wasn't just going to let him pay for all that alone. He deserves to celebrate too!

So here we are, getting ready to leave and spend more than half my savings! Well, I'm getting ready. Louis got ready at his house and came over. My mom nearly cried at the sight of him, but I almost did too. He looked so handsome. He wore black dress pants with a black buttoned up shirt and good blazer to make his outfit pop even more. He had dark shoes on to blend in, but his features was my favorite part. He had his hair swept up into a neat quiff, his beard looking like his hasn't been shaved in a week or so. Which I didn't mind, it suited him. He looked amazing. Even Will thought so.

Will and Louis met a few weeks ago, due to everyone's mistake. Louis and I were home alone watching 17 Again when Will and "Heather" walked in. I was surprised, but Will looked pissed. I found out that he thought everyone was gone but I laughed when he stubbed his toe while talking to me in the kitchen. I then found out even more. Heather and Will had been dating for three weeks. I was so happy for him, but he didn't seem too thrilled I was happy. I got to know Heather while Louis and Will talked about God knows what. She was really sweet. She was a tall brunette with brown eyes and pale skin, slim figure. She was beautiful. She's been really good for Will. They even moved in with each other last week. My mom cried when he left, but she was happy he was growing into a "mature" adult. It's different without Will, but it's kinda nice for it to be just Joseph my mom and I. Nothing against Will, just much more quiet I'd say.
