"ive never been ice skating before," I say, clinging onto chloe as my legs suddenly gain the agility of a baby deer. she convinced me into figure skates, and she tightened them so much I could barely feel my feet.

two days into winter break. we were ALL in denver this time; and the very first thing chloe enthusiastically convinced us all to do was ice skating. "aw, do you want a cone? or do you want to learn?"

"i hate you sometimes, you know that?"

"you love me and you know it." she laughed, as she helped me cling to the wall. "just do a lap with the wall. try not to plow down any little kids." she said, as all of a sudden, this bitch zooms past me and starts doing a lap around the rink. I watch in awe. once she comes back around I've only moved like, two feet.

"LOSER-" brandon yells, barely moving his feet as jessica drags him. apparently theyre on-again, which is a good thing, because brandon never shuts up about her.

eventually I start to get the hang of it as chloe slows herself down for me. I reach out and take her hand. I'm sure she got the message of how much I missed her yesterday at the airport when I nearly fucking tackled her to the ground (which ani of course recorded. she says shes gonna make a compilation of us at airports one day) ; but I truly missed her so much. I miss the little things about long distance like holding hands or finding out new things like that chloe is extremely fucking talented at ice skating.

as weird as our relationship started; prettymuch us hating eachother, and everything along the way in the middle, I can't imagine how my life would've ended up without her.

I hear an eminem song start playing as ani and aksel make eye contact from across the rink. they start aggressively skating across the rink to find each other. I guess eminem is their thing. I once brought up the concept of ani and aksel and chloe's exact words were "as if". their friendship is just kinda cute though.

"so did you think a year ago today, that you'd be here with us, holding hands and failing miserably at ice skating with me?"

"this time last year I got dumped by katelynne & I was miserable. I didn't think shit could have ever turned out so good for me." I look back at her, as she smiles. the red lights changing to yellow in the rink hover over us, & I look back out at my friends.

kwite trying to climb on top of diesel's back, brandon and jess off somewhere probably being cute, ani and aksel rapping river (intensely screaming it at eachother), henry probably third wheeling diesel and kwite. and me. holding my girlfriend's hand in a cold rink as the outside gets dark. 

I see chloe hysterically laughing at our surroundings. and not to be all sentimental and teen y/a cliché novel, but I can't help but join her. no kate, no kappa, no drama, no distance between us. for a minute everything just seems right.

"how exactly did we let you drag us to one of your scream boyband concerts again?" brandon says cynically from the back of the van. kwite is playing sicko mode from the aux cord because chloe let him have his normie ways until we got to the venue.

"hmm, maybe because me and aksel live in assfuck nowhere estonia and I haven't been to a show in months?" chloe says. she's passenger, kwite is driving, and the rest of us are in the back two rows dreading what she's about to put us through three hours of. 

"who's for shoving ani into a mosh pit?" henry says. everyone says 'i' and she slumps down, fake pouting. 

low and behold we get to the venue and some emo shit is blaring from a speaker outside. "everyone got tickets & id's?" chloe says, as we all slap our pockets to confirm. we look very out of place. it's a line of people with dark dyed hair and a radiating smell of weed. the only person who remotely looks like they belong here is chloe & diesel. a big part of this is chloe getting BEYOND PISSED OFF at diesel calling her fake goth and her punching him nearly in the throat for comparing her to sssniperwolf. they bonded over that I guess. 

and let me tell you, once the show starts chloe and diesel are in their element (yes, you may feel free to assume ani is getting so much content of them geeking out.) 

and I don't know why I do it, but I look at chloe and see her smiling, and I pull out my phone. and I take a photo of her. actually, I take three. I don't know why. It's not like I'd put them anywhere.

but then I realize she's my girlfriend and I can. so at the risk of being punted into a mosh pit, I go on my Instagram and start to post the photo.
