Okay... So me and Austin have been friends since before we were even born.. I mean, our mother's were really good friends.. until my mum left my family Austin's mum wanted nothing to do with all of us, maybe that was her way of coping? But because of that Austin and I tore apart and now we are just 2 people that know each other well.. I mean we've known each other for 17 years!

" Hurry up and let me in"! Austin huffs from the door as I quickly run downstairs and let him in.

" This house hasn't changed a bit" Austin shrugs as we walk up to my room.

" Really"? I smile.

" yeah it still fucking stinks of you" He cracks up laughing as I roll my eyes. If there's one thing you need to know about Austin is that he's always joking 24/7.

" So, do you want to walk up to the shops and get food"? I smile.

" Nah I was thinking of somethin else" He slowly nods his head giving me a pedofile look.

" OH my god Austin"! I wack him over the shoulder as he falls to the ground laughing.

" I'm kidding! you're totally fuckin triggered though" Austin laughs trying to catch his breath.

" Okie well what do you want to do"? I smile.

" yeah let's go to the shops" He nods as we both walk to the shops.

" oh look its that Joey kid, didn't you date him or something"? Austin says as we both look at him and Izabella on a seat.

"Nope" i pop the p.

"Tahlia"! Joey smiles as he walks over to me.

" Don't act like nothing has happened" I roll my eyes.

" what, you're dating Austin now huh"? Joey rolls his eyes.

" I never freaking said that"! I huff.

" I don't know why you'd be hanging around this piece of shit" Joey spits at Austin as he blankly looks at Joey.

" At least I know a good person when i see one" Austin spits as he walks me the other way.


3 YEARS LATER


I'm 20 years old, and I live in an apartment in LA share housing with Austin. We all graduated together, Me, Dylan, Natalia, Riley and Austin. Summer and I are friends again...Joey? Where'd he go you ask? I don't know and tbh I don't care.

It's now 7:30pm and Austins somewhere in his room I think? I smile as my phone screen lights up as I get a phone call from Natalia.

" Hellooo" I smile as I take a sip of my freshly made tea.

" Oiiii please, I know I'm far way but come stay at mine for a week, we miss you"! Natalia whines as I smile. 

" You know I would love to, but I'd have to leave now to get there in the morning" I chuckle.

" Yeah so please"?! She begs.

" i'd be hardcore third-wheeling" I laugh as Riley laughs in the background of her call. Her and Riley have been dating for 2 years and they are actually perfect for each other.

" Well I mean, Austin would probably love to come down to surf" I laugh as she laughs.

" So is that a yes"! Natalia squeals.

" We'll be there early tomorrow morning"! I smile as I hang up.

" Where are we going"? Austin peeps his head over the couch.

" Home" I grin as his eyes widen.

" When do we leave"! He bounces up and down like a three year old.

" In an hour so quick, hurry and pack"! I laugh as he squeals and runs into his room. Well... this should be interesting.
