That One Blink-182 Song

*Rory*

Yo, you up? - Victoria Secret <3

I slightly giggled at the name Vic gave himself in my phone. I checked the time to see I spent most of the night editing. The clock read 10:30. Weird. I looked over to see a pill on my desk. Oh wait! Corey told me to take that at around 8:50 so I could be asleep earlier. Well I guess there's no point in it now.

Yep. Whatchu want fool? - Me

Nothin... just wanted you to check out your window... - Victoria Secret <3

That's a little creepy. - Me

Pasta - Victoria Secret <3

What? - Me

Are you going to check out your window, or not? - Victoria Secret <3

I sighed and went over to my window and looked outside. I was a laughing mess when I looked down to see Vic sitting in the grass with one of Circa's dog toys in his hand. He brightened up when he saw me and waved the toy at me. I giggled even more and called him.

"What are you doing?" And how did he even get in my backyard? That still doesn't make sense to me.

"Remember yesterday when you said that you and I should hang out sometime?" He asked me over the phone. I tried to stammer a response when he sighed, "well I was wondering if you wanted to go and hang out with me?" He asked me with a light tint of pink on his cheeks.

"Well... yea... that sounds really c-cool." I tried to say without a stutter. Which of course I failed at at. He smiles and grabs my hand, beginning to run off with me.

We get around front and I see his car. It was a little blue mustang that looked a few years old. It had it's windows rolled down a bit, and some of the seats in the back have been taped up.

"Nice car." I said after I we both got in. He only smiled as he put his key in the ignition.

"You don't have to lie to me. This car was bought in 2005. I'm sure it's been made since before that." He scoffed as he began to drive down the road. Wait... I just realized something. I don't know where he's taking me-and you know, I'm only in sweats and a tank top. "So, do you want to grab something to eat?" He asked, looking over to me. I guess he doesn't know what to do either.

"I'm not that-" I stopped myself. Isn't eating what I was supposed to do? I mean Colby was so sure that I ate today. Making me eat a granola bar for breakfast, some grapes for lunch, and then a bit of pizza for dinner. Not only that, but he also stayed with me to make sure I kept it all in my system. What a sweetheart. But that's where I think I owe it to him to actually eat something on my own. "Sure." I answered with a nod.

"Does ice cream sound good to you?" He asked me. I nodded and with a few turns, we were at some cute little ice cream shop.

"Do you know what you want?" Vic asks me as we walk into the shop.

"I'll just get a scoop of vanilla." I shrugged. He nods and goes up to order while I find a table. After he orders his and my ice cream, he comes and sits down.

"So... how've you been? Lenny told me something about you being in the hospital the day we met." Vic asked while he picks up a napkin.

"Yea it's cool. It wasn't anything serious." I lied. He gives me a questioning look but doesn't ask. He randomly pulls out a pen from his pocket.

"Do you always carry around a pen in your pocket?" I smile at him. He looks up from whatever it was he is doing a shrugs.

"My pockets are like girl's purses. I always keep random shit in them." He smiles. Soon after he said that, someone came by with our ice cream. Vic continues his little 'drawing'.
