I am alone in the house, laying in my bed. West and everyone else are outside, I think there are police out there. I stay inside. I don't want to get caught up in all that mess.
I decide to use my alone time to write an entry in my diary.
"It's been a pretty weird day. Some cop thing is going on outside. And I've been having some thoughts about West. I feel like he hides too much from me and I wish he would open up a bit, be more intimate. I really love him, and I'm afraid he doesn't love me as much-"
The door opens and I shove the diary in my bag. When I look up, West is in the doorway. He gives me one of his I-know-you're-up-to-something smiles and hops into bed with me. He wraps his arms around me and we fall asleep that way.
Looks like I got my wish.
When I wake up, West is up, dressed, and at his computer. He looks like he's animating. I pull up the neck of my T-shirt and wander over to him. "Whatcha makin'?" I say.
"A Valentine's Day animation for my zero subscribers." He laughs, but it sounds funny.
Valentine's day is two days away! I completely forgot!
I squeeze myself into a hoodie and some jeans. "I'm borrowing your car!" I yell behind me.
"'Kay." He hollers back.
I dash into the kitchen, grab a Special K bar, and sprint past the table out the door.
"Good mor-" Hayden begins, but I leave before she finishes.
I eat my Special K bar in the car on my way to the store. I run around like a maniac, running into people here and there. I find a good card, a little heart-shaped box of chocolates, and a 25$ Google Play card. I check out and drive home. West is in the bathroom, but his program is still up on the computer. I stuff the gifts in a gift bag and shove some tissue paper in just before he walks in.
"Wow. That was quick." He says.
Suddenly, a scary thought springs to my mind--
What if HE forgot?
