That Summer | Aaron Carpenter

nineteen

The next morning, I was the first one awake in my room. I flipped over and saw Aaron sleeping peacefully. I smiled and fixed the blanket over him. I rolled back over and grabbed my phone. I saw tons of notifications from instagram, twitter, vine and snapchat.

I unlocked my phone and went to snapchat. I sent out my streaks and looked through stories. Aaron’s story popped up and I saw a picture of me sleeping. He put a heart emoji which made me smile. I went on to instagram and liked some edits. I stopped on one of Aaron and I. The song was Kid in Love by Shawn. I watched it, watching the videos and pictures of Aaron and me.

I looked at the caption which read: “Shipped them from the start.”

I liked it and pressed the comment button. I pressed the red heart emoji and sent it. I went back and liked some more. I went on to the comments of the picture of Aaron and I. I scrolled through, replying back to some.

When I got bored of that I went to twitter and saw the top moment was me and Aaron. I clicked off twitter and stood up. I grabbed a pair of shirts and a Magcon tank. I went into the bathroom, turning the shower on as I stripped.

I got in and washed my hair and body then stepped out and dried off. I blow dried my hair and brushed my hair. I changed into my clothes and curled my hair. I placed a blue bandanna on my head and put mascara on.

I walked out of the bathroom, throwing my dirty clothes into the pile. I saw Cam on his phone.

“Hey.” I smiled.

“You’re up early.”

“It’s only ten.” I said.

“Early.” He stated.

“Sorry, wasn’t tired anymore.” I replied.

“So, I never got to ask how recording was.”

“It was so much fun.” I smiled. “We got the whole song recorded and their doing edits and such.”

There was a knock on the door. I stood up and walked over, throwing it open. I saw Johnson.

“Hey.” He said. “You ready?”

“Ready for what?”

“The studio.” He replied.

“Oh shit, I forgot we have to go back.”

“Yeah, they have another song for you to record.” He said.

“Really?” I asked, excitedly.

He nodded, “So are you ready?”

“Just a second.” I said, slipping on some sandals. I walked over to Aaron and kissed his cheek as I grabbed my phone. I walked back over to the door. “Let’s go.”

We arrived at the studio and saw the guys.

“Good, you guys are here.” One said, sitting forward. “We have a part of the song finished.”

“Can we here it?”

“It’s only the first little chorus of your part done.” He said and reached over, pressing the button. We all listened; a huge smile grew on my face.

“That’s fucking amazing!” I squealed and turned to hug the nearest person to me, which was Gilinsky.

“We’re so proud of you Hal, but remember you have to keep this under wraps. There’s no telling fans and no spoiling it for the guys or your dad.” Johnson said.

“Done.” I smiled.

“And we have another song written for you.”

“Am I going to write my own songs?” I asked, sitting in a rolly chair.
