{Austyn}

"Austyn." I heard a voice but it was so far away.

"Austyn." That same voice called again, this time it was much, much closer. I finally peeled my eyes open. The room was pitch black, the sun just beginning to rise. I sat up, bumping something on the way up. "Ow." I groaned, rubbing my forehead.

"Sorry." His voice deep and raspy. I could make out his black hair and bare shoulders as light flooded the room. I collasped back on the bed, the alarm clock reading 6 am. "Uhhh! Its too early." I groaned, voice muffled by my pillow.

"Get up!" He yelled.

"No!" I shouted back, snuggling deeper into my duvet. Air rushed to my legs and thighs as the covers was ripped from me and threw to the other side of the room. Hunter grabbed my ankles, tugging me down the bed until only my upper body rested on the mattress, legs dangling off the edge.

"Gonna get up now?" He chuckled.

"Nope." I closed my eyes slowly falling back asleep.

I felt a weight being pressed to the back of my thighs which caused my eyes to flutter open. Hunter sat there, his chest against my back, pinning my arms to the mattress, my tummy against the bed.

"Get your fat arse off of me!" I screamed, not able to do anything but lift my head. I tried kicking him with my legs and squirming to push him off of me but he was way to heavy. I finally gave up, sighing into my pillow and closing my eyes. Nothing stopped me from sleeping and I mean nothing, not even a tan skinned black haired boy sitting on my back stopped me.

"You're impossible!" I heard him yell, crawling off my back. I felt him grip my ankles again, pulling me off the bed. I clutched my pillow as he dragged me down the hallway to the stairway where he stopped to catch a breath. I took this as my advantage to run back to my room. Only reaching the end of the hallway before he caught me by my waist and threw me over his shoulder. I felt like a piece of meat ready to be eaten by a tiger.

I bumped against his shoulder as we waddled down the stairs and entered the living room. Ontop of the coffee table sat a cardboard box with tiny holes poked around the perimeter, a pink bow sat on the very top. Hunter sat me down directly infront of the mystery box.

"Go ahead," he nudged my shoulder, "Open it."

So I took a few steps forward glancing over my shoulder and with the nod of Hunter's head I eagerly tore open the box and peeked in. In the corner of the box sat a ball of fluff with tiny black ears and big brown eyes; it was a puppy. I carefully picked the pup up from the box and held it to my chest. It was the same size of my hand, indicating it was very small. I jumped up and down in joy, hugging Hunter with my free arm while I cradled the puppy in my other.

"Thankyou Hunter! It means a lot." I kissed him lightly on the cheek while stroking the little doggy's long fur.

"Yeah. After you told me what happened and why you self harmed I went to a therapist to find information on how to keep your mind from drifting off to those thoughts so he told me to get you a pet because they are good companions. So, I got you a little Yorkshire Terrier a.k.a, Yorkie who I adopted from the shelter this morning." He told me. I was proud he cared enough about me to actually go to a therapist to get me help, it was nice of him.

"You didn't have to you know? But im more than glad you did. But," I paused, "we have to find a name for this little cutie pie right here." I said taking a seat on the couch.

"First off, is it a boy or girl?" I examined the puppy closely and find out it was indeed a boy.

"Hmmm..." I put my fingers to my chin, "I should name you..."

"Princeton! And call you Prince for short!" I clapped my hands excitedly, Princeton snuggling his tiny little body in the crook of my neck.

"Im so happy you like him." Hunter smiled, wrapping his arm over my shoulder and kissing my cheek making me blush deep red.

Throughout the rest of the day all Hunter and I did was chillax on the couch with our new family member, Princeton.

Hope you enjoyed!
