"Promise...
(Btw I know Tanner got his tattoos after the crash, but I'm gonna make it that he does it a little bit after)
Mia's POV
The whole rest of the day was spent cheering Hailey up, which I might say was a big success!
And for some reason, while all of us were just talking and having a good time, Jake said "Have you guess ever wanted tattoos?" I stared at him "How the hell did that come in mind?" Tanner asked "I don't know, I just think it would be cool to get one" "I mean it would be cool, I've thought about doing it before" I said, Tanner turned to me "Are you being serious?" "Yes?" I asked confused "What would your tattoo be?" "I don't know, but I want it to mean something to me, and not let it just be a random tattoo that's on my body forever" "I would get one" Tanner said "Me too" Hailey said "Well I guess we are getting tattoos then?" "Ya! Let's go!" Tanner said "But first we have to take your moms right?" I said to Tanner and Hailey "Ya, but what about you?" "My aunt and uncle take care of me, my uncle has a tattoo parlor, I'm sure he'll be fine with it" I said "Is he there now?" "Probably" "Alright, Hailey go back home and get your mom, I'm gonna take my car and get mine, and Mia you just go to the parlor" We all nodded.
I drove to the parlor, and when I walked inside my uncle looked at me weird "Hey kid, what are you doin' here?" He asked "Um, well, considering you are my guardian, um can me and my friends get tattoos? They are bringing there moms with them, so it'll be legal!" He looked at me shocked "Why the hell do you want a tattoo?" "It'll mean something to me, it isn't just a tattoo for fun and to show it off, the same with my friends" My aunt came over "Come on hun, we can trust her, she's giving good reason, and her friends parents are coming. It'll be fine, let her do it!" She said while giving me a hug "Fine, I'll go get paperwork" He got up from his stool and went to his office "Oh my god, thank you so much auntie!" I gave her a big hug "Are your friends her yet?" "They should be" And right on que, I heard Tanner's car pull in, and then I saw Hailey's car park into a spot right next to my car "There they are" I walked outside and hugged them all and their moms "Come in guys, let's do this!" Tanner grabbed my hand and we walked inside "Auntie, uncle, this is my best friend Hailey and her mom, and this is my boyfriend Tanner and his mom" They both knew I had a boyfriend, they just never met him "Well it's very nice to met all of you, now let's get some paperwork done" My auntie took Hailey and Tanners moms into an office while we all talked "So Hailey what are you going to get a tattoo of?" "I'm going to get a tattoo of the cerebral palsy ribbon on my side, with my name under it" "That's wow!" I said, "What about you Tanner?" "Hummmm, I'm going to get a arrow pointing right on my wrist, and I'm going to get a tattoo of a bass on a hook on my ankle" (btw I forgot what the bass was called ugh) "What about you Mia?" Hailey asked "I'm going to get a red rose on my wrist" I knew why Tanner wanted those tattoos, the arrow because the day of the crash, when they were about to hit the poles, the first thing he saw was a yellow arrow pointing right, the bass because him and his grandpa always went fishing together, and that's the fish they mostly caught. Hailey wanted the ribbon because she has cerebral palsy, and I wanted the red rose because all throughout the week my grandpa passed away, red things kept on getting my attention, like sometime cardinals would show up, and one time I was in the bathroom, I looked in the mirror, and for a split second I saw something red by the shower curtains. I never told anyone this but, the day of the crash, before I got into Maverick's car, I thought I heard someone say my name, so I looked back at the house and saw no one, then I looked at my car and there was this beautiful red cardinal sitting on top of it.
I don't know, I shrugged it off, but it seems crazy. The rose is suppose to represent my grandpa.
After all the paperwork was done, Hailey went first. She picked a spot were it wouldn't hurt most, but me and Tanner did, my uncle said that Tanner picked the two worst spots to get a tattoo, I did too, the wrist is were lots of veins are. Kill me now, I have a high pain tolerance, so it might not be that bad. Hers will take longer because it's big, and because it has to be colored in.
Hailey's tattoo was done, then it was my turn. I was nervous, very nervous. As I sat on the chair, my uncle cleaned my wrist, and then drew the outline or the Rose "Now this will hurt okay, just try not to move" My uncle said, I nodded. Tanner came over and sat down next to me, and held my free hand. He smiled and kissed my hand, then I felt pain shot up my hand and I winched "Damn!" I clenched my jaw. It really hurts! Why the hell did I want it on my wrist! Remember it's for a reason. Calm down.
After what seemed like 50,000 years, my rose was finally done. It looked beautiful.

"Thank you so much! I love it!" I hugged my uncle tight. "You're welcome sweetie. Alright Tanner, your turn!" Tanner smiled and sat down on the chair. I sat on the stool right next to him. I held his hand, like he did to mine, and my uncle started. Tanner winched and looked into my eyes. His light baby blue eyes looked deep into my golden brown ones "Your eyes look purple" He said smiling "They make you look even more beautiful" He said, I blushed "Thanks" "Just continue talking to me, it keeps my mind off the pain" "Okay, are you regretting getting this tattoo" "No! I'm a man, I bare through the pain, I've broken my leg, been in a crash, gotten stitches, and been shot. I think I can get through a little tattoo" He said laughing, I laughed too "Yeah, we don't have good luck so we" "That's not true, we got lucky with each other" "You're so cheesy" I laughed.
My uncle was finally done with Tanner's tattoos we all left. Hailey went back home, and Tanner came back with me. When we both got there, Jake and Elissa were gone so it was just the two of us "So why did you get a rose?" "It represent my grandpa. You know, he was buried in red, roses on top of his casket. The whole week after he passed, red things kept on getting my attention. So I thought a rose would be good enough" "It seems perfect" He held my hand and looked at my wrist "It looked beautiful, like you" "Aw, you're making me blush" I put my head down, trying to hide my face. Tanner put his hand under my chin and made me look at him "I love you".
