December 6th

Austin's POV:

I wake up and stretch my arms out, making weird noises that sound like a dinosaur. I hit Holly in the process, she groans and flips away from me so her back faces me and falls right back asleep, she's so adorable. I smile to myself and pick up my phone to see what time it is. 12:07 p.m. December 6th. Wow we are so lazy.

"December 6th." I say to myself, knowing that there is something way too familiar about this date. "Oh well it will hit me later." I shrug it off and decide to get on Twitter, since I never seem to be on it enough. Holly and the guys constantly nag me to go on and tweet so people know I'm still alive, I never get on mine though I usually just go on the bands account. Today I want to switch it up some, so I get on my own account for once.

@austincarilie: Good afternoon West & East coast! I hope you all have a wonderful day, make the most of it! Give kindness when needed! I love you all so much! After a few seconds people start to reply, most making me smile, others make me block people from being way too inappropriate. That's enough Twitter for today. I jump out of bed and go to the restroom, afterwards I take a shower. I wrap the towel around my wet waist and grab a pair of boxers and slip them on. I throw on my basketball shorts that say 'of mice & men' then walk over to Holly's side of the bed and kiss her on the forehead before descending down the staircase. I just let Holly sleep in, she deserves her beauty rest, even though she is already so beautiful and it's 12 in the afternoon.

I walk into the kitchen and put a Starbucks coffee grind cup in the Kerig, putting it on the largest cup setting. I walk away as it pours to get some water and take my heart pill. The coffee is finished brewing, I add milk and sugar and head to the living room to watch tv. I pass by Scooby Doo and flip back to it. There isn't anything like a cup of joe and cartoons in the afternoon. The shower start running and I take that Holly is up out of bed, suddenly it hits me like a ton of bricks.

"December 6th! Holy fuck it's been 8 months today!" I ponder on what to do. I can't buy her jewelry, I have already done that twice, I've also taken her out to dinner, I want to do something different. I text Aaron to get some ideas.

Me: Hey man, I need your help with something. Sent. The 3 dots show up to say that he is typing back. He replies instantly.

Aaron: Yeah dude, what do you need?

Me: Well today is Holly and I's 8 month anniversary. I want to do something special ya'no? I've gotten her jewelry and we have went out to dinner. You're good with these things, help a brother out. Aaron is seriously the guy to go for this stuff. He constantly has crazy ideas for him and Amanda to do and Amanda loves doing them. The 3 little dots pop up again and I hear the pitter patter of footsteps coming down the stairs. I quickly lock my phone so she isn't aware of my plans.

"Good afternoooon!" I chirp at her, turning my head to look at her. She's wearing a pair of All Time Low booty shorts and one of my many ampersand shirts. "Didn't anyone ever tell you not to mix-match band merch?" I ask playfully.

"Afternoon." she says not so enthusiastic, but she still has a smile on her face. She walks into the kitchen to get a cup of coffee and I follow after her, wrapping my arms around her from behind, resting my arms around her waist.

"You know, I think you look better in my clothes then I do." I whisper in her ear and kiss it, causing us to both to erupt in a giggle fit. I rest my chin upon her wet hair and watch her put sugar into her cup.
