~You Are~

Ruthie's POV

I woke up and noticed that I was cuddled up against Nikki. Today was going to be a good day. I got up to brush my hair and teeth before she woke. I made some pancakes and took them up to our bedroom. She sat up when I opened the door and I handed her the food. She thanked me with a small kiss on my forehead. When she finished, we both went to the bathroom to do our makeup. I braided her hair and we changed our outfits.

"Where are we going today?" I asked.

"The mall and to lunch. I was thinking we could order a pizza for dinner then."

"Sounds awesome."

We quickly finished up and she walked me to the car, holding my hand. She opened my door for me and walked around to get in the driver's side. Once we were buckled, because safety first kids, we headed in the direction of the mall. I was thinking off all the places I wanted to go, and the places Nikki would want to go. Since we have a lot in common we basically like the same places, but there are some occasional ones we don't both like. We go in them anyway because if something makes one of us happy, we encourage it. After about twenty minutes of Twenty-one Pilots and Panic! At the Disco, we arrived at the mall and parked a couple rows away. We always agree on parking a little further away to get more steps for our Fitbits. (My mom forces me to do this....) And a little more walking isn't going to kill us.... Yet.

Once we got in the mall, the song playing through the speakers was Weak by AJR. We both loved that song so as we headed to Starbucks, we danced like crazed teenagers.... We are though.

The Starbucks line was long, which was no surprise (and probably not the only long thing :))) so we waited to get our usual orders. Once we were given our drinks, we began walking around the different stores and checking stuff out. We bought a couple of shirts and some sweatpants at Aeropostale. Matching hats at Spencer's, while looking in the back. And some flower crowns at Claire's because you're never too old for flower crowns. Then finally, we got to our favorite store, Hot Topic. We stayed in there for a couple of hours looking at everything. We checked out the dresses, shorts, swimsuits, t-shirts, and even the socks. We bought a pair of cat socks, five or six band shirts, a hoodie, and some hair dye. I almost tried on a swimsuit but my shyness took over.

As we were leaving the mall, we went past a store that I never thought I'd go in with my girlfriend. Victoria Secret. But as we passed, Nikki grabbed my arm and dragged me in there before I could protest. It was filled with fancy, overpriced shit. Bras that were only half there, if that, and thongs that looked so uncomfortable I gagged. All the workers in here were total sluts, but I looked around anyway. Maybe I could buy something to tease Nikki... But I'm too shy. I would never be able to do that.

Nah. It'd be pointless and too much work. Also, that shit is expensive!

When we left, we didn't buy anything, we went hand in hand. I always love holding her hand. It's like twice the size of mine and it's adorable. We walked slightly down the road to a nearby Sweet Frog. We didn't feel the need to drive because it really wasn't that far away, so we walked. Still we hadn't let go of each other's hands. When we got in there, we got the small ones because we can't even finish those. She gets more toppings on it and I get more frozen yogurt. I usually get blue cotton candy because it always tastes so good.

Once we got up to the cash register and were told the price, Nikki quickly paid, although I said I would. She was always so persistent about doing everything for me so that I was as happy as I possibly could be. It was adorable. I'll just put money in her purse later when she isn't looking. After paying, we sat down at a table and started talking about if we wanted to go anywhere else today or wait until another time. We also thought about what work we might've missed at school, but I doubt it was nothing important. There's never anything important at our school, it's pointless to go.

When we finally finished up, we started walking in the direction of our house and of course the wind messed up my hair. Nikki stopped me along side the road to push my hair out of my face and give me her beanie. Before she grabbed my hand and continued walking again, she gave me a quick kiss on the nose. God she's way too good to me. It was a pretty silent walk since we were simply appreciating the company. I noticed sounds like birds chirping or car engines, even those evil voiced in my head.... Shit you weren't supposed to know that. I swear I wore gloves earlier. Did I? Maybe they'll find my bloody handprints on him. OH A SQUIRREL!

I need to get headphones for us so we can listen to Twenty-One Pilots. On walks like these it would be nice to hear an angels voice along with those birds. Or better yet... Kill the birds while listening to Twenty-One Pilots.

I'm not a murderer. You are!
