living on the edge

Chapter 16: Reunited

*Time lapse to Saturday*

I woke up to the sound of my phone buzzing. Groaning I picked it up to see a text from Taylor.

iMessage

Taylor Caniff: Mall @ 10:00? I'm at Nash & Cams.

iMessage:

Yup sounds good! I miss you soo much. :)

Taylor Caniff: haha I miss u too baby.

I smiled, Taylor always called me things like that. It was currently 8:30am so I rolled out of bed and hopped in the shower quickly and then blow dried my hair leaving it naturally straight. I put on my makeup which was the usual, and my outfit was white muscle tee that said 'Wifi', a pair of black distressed kind of short shorts, my all black converse, & I tied a white bandana around my head like Taylor does. Perfect, it was now 9:25am so I headed down to the kitchen with my phone after I made my bed and grabbed a NutriGrain bar for breakfast.

iMessage:

I'll come pick you up soon:)

I texted Taylor as I brushed my teeth. Literally I couldn't wait to see him so I ran out the door with my phone and jumped in the car driving over to Nash and Cam's. The short car ride that it is, I made it to their apartment in less than two minutes. My stomach had butterflies in it, this was going to be so much fun. I rang the doorbell and waited for someone to answer.

"Hello Miss. Brooks." I was greeted by Nash in the doorway. "Hey!" I giggled and hugged him. "Come on in." He offered and I stepped into their place. "Do I hear a Lexee down here?" I looked up and saw Cameron running down the stairs. "Hey Cam." I smirked at him and hugged me. "How's your arm?" He asked holding up my left arm looking at the scar from the crash. "Better, just ugly looking." "Nah, scars are hot." I heard someone say at the top of the steps. It was Taylor. He smirked at me and ran down picking me up into a hug. I giggled, "I missed you Taylor!" "I missed you too Lex." He put me down. "Well, I'll see you guys later I guess!" We waved to Nash and Cameron as we walked out to my car. "Careful you guys!" Cameron called.

I rolled my eyes, "We will." "Oh my gosh I was so excited for today! I couldn't wait to see you, and Magcon is tomorrow, it's like perfect." I basically fangirled once we drove to the mall. "I couldn't wait to see you either. Everyone was terrified when we heard about the crash." He said as we pulled into the mall parking lot. "Well we're fine, now at least." I smiled as we walked up to the entrance of the mall. We debated on which stores we wanted to go to first for a good three minutes, until we agreed on PacSun. "I haven't been shopping in like.." We stood in the entrance of PacSun as I thought for a second of my last shopping spree. "Like three weeks Taylor! That's insane." I giggled.

I helped him pick a few things out in the guys section because he supposedly liked my fashion sense and thought I'd come in handy. He then helped me pick a few things out too. I gasped as my eyes wondered to the cutest Brandy Melville Shirt ever. It was a black crop tank top that said sassy in cursive writing. "You're so cute when you get excited about something." He chuckled watching me check for my size. I rolled my eyes and smirked at him. "What size are you?" He asked helping me look through the racks. "Small." "Ah-ha!" I said finding the last small. "Ready to try them on?" I asked pointing to our arms filled with clothes, he nodded and we headed back to the dressing rooms. We got two fitting rooms next to each other and said we'd show each other what we try on.

After a good seven minutes I was on my last item. "This is my last one." I said through the walls. I heard him rummaging through hangers before he answered. "Yeah me too." My last outfit to try on was a white tight cropped shirt with a light blue skater skirt and white vans. I opened the door simultaneously to Taylor, and we showed off our outfits. "Damn." He smirked at me and I giggled. "You don't look too bad yourself, Caniff." I heard a gasp in one of the other dressing rooms and we looked at each other wide-eyed before going back into our dressing rooms and changing into our regular clothes.
