Why him?!

Revisit the past

After we dropped Molly off, Austin decided to take me to lunch. Dinner? Linner? Dunch?

Austin decided to take me to food. That's better.

We're sitting in chipotle (my secret obsession) and he's sipping on his drink when his phone flashes.

He picks it up and shoves the message in my face causing me to choke on my chipotle.

"Mike says we can meet up tonight! Ah I haven't seen him in a few days." Austin says as I take his phone to read the text.

"Hey! Oh you're still alive? Sure dude. Let's meet up tonight! Bring Joseph! "

"Wow. That's exciting. It'll be like you're going back into the past!" I say as I sip on my drink.

I hand Austin his phone back and he nods. He sets his phone down and shoves the rest of his burrito in his mouth as he stands up.

"You ready?" He asks.

"Well, since you already stood up, I guess I am." I say as I fold back the tin lid over my bowl.

I've never struggled with it.

Everyone tends to complain about not being about to put the lid back on but I always put it back on with ease.

Once we get into the car, Austin turns on the radio. Which he hasn't done in forever. I look his way and he's smiling.

"Speaking of the past" he says as he points to the radio,which has the name of the song scrolling past.

"Linkin Park! They aren't even that old Austin" I laugh and he pulls out the driveway.

"To me they are. I've lived longer than you bud. I witnessed My Chemical Romance breakup.." he pauses and I look over and he's wiping his eyes with his free hand.

"Quit it. I'm gonna get upset too. You know who I do miss? Three Days Grace, Of Mice and Men, Breaking Benjamin. We don't really listen to them anymore. We listen to Pierce The Veil though. So that's good I guess." I pull out my phone and go through my song playlist.

"Maybe one day we can shuffle all of our old songs and just relax" He suggests.

I laugh," we will not be relaxed. My head will be banging to and fro. "

"You're right" he nods.

After a few more older songs come on, were home. Greeted by mom and Mr. Ione.

"Boys, the girls really miss you. I hear you don't have any classes together. That stinks. We'll all come over sooner or later " he hugs my mom and kisses the top of her head.

She smiles and leans into him, causing me to smile as well.

"Yeah. I miss them too. How's Amber?" I ask.

He looks puzzled from my sudden question but answers anyways.

"Fine. She's obviously going though a lot right now. She's the weak one out of the two. But she's pulling it together. No need to worry" he smiles.

It sort of ticked me off when he called her weak. Amber is not weak. She's stayed happy in the worst situations and has been the strongest person I know.

Weak? She's far from it! Ugh now I'm mad.

"Joey come on. Sorry guys, I'm gonna help him with his homework. Then we're going out with a friend" he says as he drags me upstairs.

Once we enter his room and sits on his bed and starts to take his clothes off.

"So why are you so pissed?" He asks, tossing his shirt on the floor somewhere.
