OH MY GOD IT'S SNOWING OUTSIDE AND I'M SEEING ALL TIME LOW IN LIKE A MONTH AND I'M GOING TO STABB EVERYONE (accept you guys and the bands) IF IT DOESN'T GO THE FRICK AWAY JESUS CHRIST 

Autumns P.O.V

I'm not fixed, I can't meet up with him like this? I meet him yesterday he'll think I'm crazy.. Well I am, but more crazy. Autumn thought and got up from the couch and into her room. 

Max had texted her, asking if they could meet. Autumn had answered 
"Yeah sure, let me just put some clothes on" And she was now ripping clothes out of her closet trying to find something. It shouldn't be this hard, since 95% of her shirts were band shirts and 97% of her pants are black jeans. 
She put on a grey Man Overboard sweater and, can you guess? Yeah, black jeans. She already knew it was no idea trying to brush the messy hair, instead she braided it. 
Meh, that'll do. She thought and checked her phone. 
One new text message. 
"Meet at the bar in like a hour?" Autumn smiled and answered. 
"Yer, sure"

She walked into the bathroom to put some make up on. 
Well, since Josh is being a wierdo, and there's no one in school, I might aswell look good from Max. 
She was done and started walking towards the bar. It was a bit chillier today, so she was happy she had brought a big scarf to hide in. 
The leaves had started falling more now and she loved it, colors everywhere, the smell of fall filled her nose. 
What does fall actually smell like? she thought to herself. I mean, I can feel the heavyness, and I can smell the wet leaves. She shrugged it off when she was closing the bar. 

Autumn opened the door and stepped in, it was warmer in there. She scanned the place to find Max. But instead she saw someone else. 
He had his back to her, but she knew it was him. Autumn slowely walked over to him. She didn't know what to do when she reached him. But she kept walking, even if she wanted to stop it didn't seem like her feet would follow that hought. 
"Uhm, Josh?" Autumn said and poked his shoulder. He looked up at her, his eyes lit up and a huge smile formed on his lips. 
"Babe!" He said and stood up. "I've missed you."
W-wait what? 
He was closing in to kiss her, Autumn closed her eyes. 

"Autumn!" Someone yelled. Autumn opened her eyes. She was in her bedroom. The window was open. It was dark and cold. How? No, hold on that was not a dream? I didn't dream about the text. I could feel every movement. What the fuck? She looked up to see who had yelled her name. She saw no one, it made her even more confused. Is this a dream too? She checked her phone. It was 2.43, and just to be on the safe side she unlocked it and checked her messages. Nothing from Max. 
She sighed and put it back on the bed. 
Not like I actually expected anything anyway, she sat up. But how was that a dream? Is this a dream? What is actually going on? 
"Autumn Clifford!" someone shouted again. This time Autumn got out of bed. There was no one in her room, that was for sure. But she turned the lights on. "Window!" the voice shouted. She walked over to the open window and looked down. She let out a big sigh when she saw Sara. 
"You scared the living shit out of me asshole!" Autumn said, trying to talk low not to wake anyone up. "Meet me at the backdoor in 2 okay?" 
Sara nodded and walked towards the back. Autumn put a pair of sweatpants on, and just as she was about to open her door she slapped herself on the arm. 
"Ouch" she said to herself. She just wanted to make sure it wasn't a dream. 

She unlocked the door and in stromed Sara. 
"So Douglas was really sweet, we watched a movie at his place, and we cuddled on his bed" she walked into the kitchen and open the fridge and took out a bottle of water and sat down around the table. "And we started making out, and you know.." Autumn nodded, not wanting to hear her love story. Honestly she couldn't care less about that douch.. "But he woke me up like 30 minutes ago and told me I had to leave cause his parents couldn't know about it.." 
Autumn sighed and took a seat across from her friend. She dragged a hand through her thick hair, she could feel all the tangles. 
Guess I didn't take a shower either.. She thought. 
"So you came here instead?" she said and rested her chin in her hand. "it's 2 in the morning. Which means you want to stay over."


Sara took a mouthful of water and studied her friend. Autumn looked really worn out. 
"Looks like I probably shouldn't have though, how much sleep have you gotten the last couple nights, sweetie?" Sara stretched her arm out on the table, intertwinging her fingers with Autumn's.
"Honestly, I've had such weird and realistic dreams today" she paused, sighed and continued. "I don't even know if this is real life or just a freaking dream."

Sara got up and hugged Autumn. 
"Come on, let's go up andget some sleep. You don't have to worry. I'm here." 
They went upstairs, quietly and layed down under the warm covers. The window was still open, but the lights were off. 
"Don't you wanna close that?" Sara said. 
Autumn shook her head, but realizing her friend had her eyes closed and wasn't able to see the movement. 
"No, I like it better like this." She rolled over to the side. "I like hearing that I'm not the only one awake. Even if it makes everything turn into ice." 
Sara smiled and moved closer to Autumn. 

Sara was fast asleep, but Autumn was looking around in her room, from the posters on her wall to the clothes on her floor. 
Her room was messy, and the posters made it look smaller. Even though it was huge. When Autumn first saw it, when they first moved to the city, she never thought she would be able to use all the space. She was wrong, now she had too little space for all her things. 

The alarm clock went off, Autumn hadn't slept. So she turned it off and woke up Sara. 
They got ready together, Sara borrowed a sweater and a pair of jeans from Autumn to wear. 
In the car towards school they sang along to All Time Low, again.
"So what happens now between you and Douglas?" Autumn asked, Sara was looking out the window, humming along to Memories That Fade Like Photographs. (A/N: oh my god it's such a old song but it's probably my favorite, please go listen to it. Or if I know how to put a video in the side I will. Just listen to it, it's so shitty it's good. haha) 
Sara shrugged. 
"I don't know. He was sort of a dick about it.. I might not talk to him." She said short. She twisted some hair on her finger. 
"Well, you know where you got me" Autumn said and parked. "And you've got Scott too." 

They got out and Sara gave her a look of disgust. 
"Scott?" she scoffed. "No way! I might act like I like him, but I don't." 
"Why not? He's a good friend.." Autumn didn't really want a fight, not now. But she couldn't let one of her best friends step all over her other best friend. 
"I just don't like him. Come on, let's get to class.." Sara said and walked into the class room. 

Autumn  sat down and sighed. She rubbed her hands over her face. She was exhausted, hoping this day won't bring drama. 
I really need to talk to Josh though.. She thought, furrowing her eyebrows and looking at the whiteboard. What? I can't concentrate on this, I have to know what's up with Josh. But Scott told me to wait, let him sort things out for himself and when, or even if, he comes back to school I could talk to him. Or why don't I just forget about it? I have bigger things to worry about, college, the freaking concert I have backstage pass and photo pass to, and all the exams at the end of the term. I can't do this right now, I have too much to do. I'll just keep away, do whatever it takes to get a good grade in P.E and then I'm done. Yes, that's what I'll do. 

"Autumn?" her her snapped upwards, the teacher looked at her, as did everyone else in the classroom. 
"What?" she asked, tugging a piece of hair behind her ear. 
"Are you happy daydreaming or do you wanna answer this question?" the teacher asked, he looked pissed. 
Autumn read the question on the board. 'Who was the first to use a computer?' it said. 
She rolled her eyes. 
"I don't know, the guy how made it?" a couple guys laughed and a few girls rolled their eyes. The teacher shook his head and went back to his desk and sat down. 
"Open your books and turn to page 394." he sighed. 

Autumn wasn't reading, she was looking at the open door, people walked past all the time. She hadn't really noticed how many different styles there were at the school, during the last 50 minutes she'd seen a lot of different looking people. 
She was just about to look away when she saw a man walking by slowly with the pricipal. The man looked in to the classroom and he looked straight at Autumn, if it was on purpose or not, she wasn't sure. All she could think was

Oh shit.
