The Days To Come

Chapter 5

Carter's Pov:

Today, my mum, 3 sisters, and I were going to the tattoo shop to get flower tattoos together. My mum signed the papers for me since I'm under 18, before I went back to get my tattoo done. I decided to get mine under my collar bone. I sat down in the chair, watching the tattoo artist draw the drawing onto my skin. I sat quietly as he inked it, applying plastic to it after he was done. 

* 2 days later* (September 15)

I woke up, grabbing a yellow off-the-shoulder shirt and a pair of jean shorts out of my closet. I changed my clothes, putting on my sandals, before grabbing my stuff and going downstairs. My mum gently removed the plastic off of my tattoo, before fixing my shirt. I grabbed my house keys, walking outside to wait for Aiden. Once he pulled into the driveway, I walked down the front stairs, getting into his car. 

"Did you get a tattoo?" he asked me, before kissing me on the cheek.

"Yeah. I got it two days ago," I said, kissing him back. 

"I love it. It represents you perfectly," he said, pulling out of my driveway. 

*at the school*

Aiden's Pov:

I got out of my car, walking over to where Carter was waiting for me. I grabbed her hand, walking into the school with her. We walked into her mom's room, going to our table. I sat down, before getting my homework out to turn in.

*later that night*

I was laying in bed with Carter laying next to me. She was explaining how to do the math homework, halfway asleep. I brushed her hair out of her face, as she laid back towards me. She soon fell asleep, and I got out of bed, turning the record off, before turning my alarm on, getting back into bed beside her. I wrapped my arms around her, falling asleep against her back. 

Megan's Pov:

I sat in Joe and I's office, grading papers for my classes. As I finished up the last stack, I heard Joe and Sydney down the hall giggling. I put the papers into my bag, before leaving my office. I went into our bedroom, where Joe was tickling our daughter. About 10 minutes later, Joe took her over to her room, tucking her in. He came back into our room, kissing me on the forehead, before getting into bed. 

Magnolia's Pov: 

I currently sat in the meeting room beside Cayla as our boss was going over information. I wrote down things in my notebook, listening to the discussion as I wrote. 

*the next day* (Sept 16)

Adaline's Pov: 

Today, I was going with Hope and Chris to get an engagement ring for Magnolia. I already knew how I was planning to propose to her, I just needed a ring. I looked at the rose gold rings, specifically at one with a diamond and another one with an amethyst which is her birthstone. Hope helped me decide on the amethyst one, since she knows Magnolia is into her birthstone. The lady behind the counter helped us out, gently placing the ring into the box. We walked over to the checkout area, and I paid for the ring, before the 3 of us left to go get lunch. 

Alaska's Pov:

Braden and I sat in the local café, talking, as I finished up some writing. We sat at the table, drinking some coffee and eating a sausage, egg, and cheese croissant. It was very delicious. After we got done eating, Braden paid as I packed up my laptop. We then left, going back home to enjoy the rest of our day. 

*about 2 hours later*

I changed out of the jeans and shirt I was wearing, changing into a black croptop and floral shorts. I put on my sandals, going out back to watch Braden who was building furniture. 

*1 day later* (Sept 17)

Aspen's Pov:

I woke up early this morning since I had to look nice for picture day and sports pictures. I pulled a white striped jumpsuit out of my closet, putting it on, before putting on my sandals. I went into my bathroom, brushing my hair, putting it into a ponytail. I brushed my teeth, before going back into my room to pack up school stuff. 

Aiden's Pov:

I pulled in Carter's driveway, where she was sitting outside, drinking the coffee that her brother got her. She was wearing a black V-neck dress that had flowers in the center. My god, did she look gorgeous. She got into my car, buckling up her seatbelt.
