Boulevard of Broken Dreams

Staying The Night

Cynthia's POV:

I've been up here for 4 hours!! I thought Austin said he was gonna be back in just a bit. I guess his definition is different from mine. "UGHH." I finally say out loud. The door starts to open and I'm relieved it's Austin. "Austin! Where have you been!? I've been so bored up here by myself and all of my friends are asleep because it's freaking 4:00 AM!! What were you doing down there!?" I felt like an over-protective girlfriend because of all the questions. "Calm down." Austin sounded so wasted and on top of that he was wobbling and trying to keep his balance. I'm so beyond pissed off. "Just come lay down and hang out for a sec. I'll go get you some medicine." How could he do this to me!? I would've said no to staying here if I knew I would be taking care of a drunk (and soon to be hung over) 16 year old. I just need to sleep on the couch tonight so he doesn't get any ideas.

*The Next Morning*

Austin's POV:

"Cynthia?" I wake up and feel she's not with me. Last thing I remember is her leaving the room to go get some medicine. I'm not sure if she ever came back. She probably just used that excuse to leave me. I got up and went downstairs.

Cynthia's POV:

I set my alarm on my phone for 8:00 AM. I got up and got myself ready. When I was done, it was already 9:00. I decided to make some breakfast. I looked through the cabinets and found some pancake batter. Pancakes!! Perfect! When I'm finishing up, I hear a loud yawn. "Morning sleepy head!" I said to Austin. "Morning beautiful." crap. I can't let him get to me like this! But for goodness sake! He has the perfect six pack and he's so cute when he's asleep and right when he wakes up. He goes to give me a kiss and I panic and say "Your breath STINKS! You need to brush them bones." "Haha ok? I'll go do that. But save me some pancakes!" "I'm not making any promises!" I yell as he runs up the stairs. When he got back, we just kind of ate in silence. I just hope the pancakes were good to him because I've never been a great cook.

Austin's POV:

These pancakes are pretty good! I would've liked them with chocolate chips but they're still really good. I think now's the time to make my move. "So Cynthia, I was wodering if you..." She cut me off before I could finish my sentence. "I would love to go on a date with you." YESSSS I thought to myself. "Awesome. Olive Garden tonight? Pick you up at 6:00?" I can't wait to go on a date with her. "Sure. I can't wait." After that, we watched movies until 3:00PM and she said she had to go so she could start getting ready. I had to drop her off so we left after we finished Cyberbully. (quick a/n: this is one of my favorite movies.) She has a really pretty house. I can't wait until tonight!
