I wake up to violent shaking.

"AVA! We slept in!"

I groan and open my eyes, rubbing them.

"Nat, it's Saturday." I groan and stretch.

"Oh. Sorry." she laughs and plops down on the couch in front of me.

She scoots closer and wraps her arm around my waist.

"So what do you want to do today?" she asks, smiling.

I tuck a strand of hair behind her ear and smile.

"I don't know. What do you want to do?"

"IIIII.... Want to go the mall." 

I place my pointer finger under her chin and gently kiss her.

"The mall it is." I smile

I smirk and sit up quickly and grab her waist and put my arms under her legs and lift her up.

She screams and laughs as I jump off the couch start to carry her upstairs.

"Hello, girls."

We both yelp and I spin around and see dad sitting at the kitchen table on his computer.

"Morning, dad."

"How'd you sleep?"

"Good."

"Wanna tell me about what happened now?"

"Huh?" I ask, furrowing my eyebrows, confused.

"Your face, honey."

"Oh. I got in a fight."

Dad signs and takes his glasses off his face and rubs his temples.

"Why?"

"He was making fun of me, Dad. He wouldn't stop."

"Okay, okay. Okay. Well... I'll let you off the hook this time. Don't let it happen again." he says, sighing and going back to his computer.

"I won't." I smile and carry Natalie upstairs.

I throw her on the bed, making her laugh and start digging in my closet for an outfit.

"Ava?" I hear Nat ask sweetly.

"Hm?"

"I need to ask you something." she says seriously.

"Go for it." I answer, grabbing a white t-shirt.

"Will...." she starts but pauses.

"Uhh huhhhh?"

"Will you be my girlfriend?" 

I freeze and my eyes widen.

"I-I'm so sorry. It just came out. I'm-"

"Shh." 

"Okay." she says, looking at her lap.

"Really?" I ask.

"I'm sorry."

"No, really. Really?"

"You're mad."

"I'm not. I'm asking you if you're sure." I say, smirking.

He head shoots up and looks at me with a wide smile.

"Yes. I am."

"Then I am too." I say, smiling.

She launches off the bed and tackles me in a hug. I laugh and catch her,  smiling.

"Okay! Get dressed!" she says, and grabs her bag and goes into the bathroom.

I quickly change my clothes and pull the dog tags out of my shirt and put them on top of my shirt.

Natalie walks out looking beautiful as usual.

"Ready?" I ask.

"Uh huh!" she says, putting her purse over her shoulder and we both walk downstairs.

"Hey, dad?"

"Yes, dear?"

"Can we go to the mall?"

"Sure. Be back by at least... five."

"Okay."

Natalie giggles and I head out to the car and get in.

"Oh my god! He said that?!" Natalie screams then takes a sip of her blue Icee.

"Yeah. And told me to go back to the shithole I came from." I say, laughing.

"Jesus." she says and shakes her head.

"Yep." 

I offer my hand out to her which she happily laces our fingers.

"Oh! Let's go to Hot Topic!" Natalie says excitedly and jumps up and down.

I laugh and we both walk into the requested store. We split our ways and she peers at me through a clothes rack and laughs. I smile at her childishness.

Suddenly I see the flash of a man walk by the store and something goes off in my head. I focus my view and furrow my eyebrows.

Natalie looks behind her and back at me. 

"What?"

"Hang on." I say and walk out of the store.

There, receding in the distance, is the figure of a familiar body build. Confused, I sprint up and start walking closely behind him, the smell of pine cologne filling my nose.

"Kitty? Is that you?" I choke out.

The man turns around and looks at me.

"Little monster."
