I woke up the next day and immediately gazed outside my window feeling a sense of excitement when I caught a glimpse of the small snow pellets in the air. Ever since I was a kid I have always sensed some sort of connection with myself and winter, it has always reminded me of how fast things can change such as the weather.

Summer is known as a fun and happy time with family and friends but then it becomes Fall time reminding us that everything around is dying at a slow rate like leaves, and lastly winter comes around confirming that the leaves are now lifeless but under all the snow the leaves are still here with us, living.

That's how I use to feel before I met Mason lifeless, I felt as though I was alive but I felt like I was being covered with my own type of snow shielding me away from being myself and being happy like how I am now.

The aroma of chocolate chip pancakes filled my nose, immediately leading me to the kitchen to find my mom setting up plates at the small table.

"Good morning sweetheart." She said joyfully.

"Uh good morning, is someone joining us?" I asked, glancing at the extra plate sitting on the table.

"Yes, So my co worker and I have been talking for a while now and I thought it would be nice to invite him for breakfast."

"Him?" I asked in confusion, The idea of my mom dating or talking to someone had never crossed my mind but if she is happy then I'm happy.

"Yeah his name is Sam, please be nice." She pleaded.

"Only on one condition." I smirked.

"What is it?"

"I want my phone back." I shrugged.

"Fine by the way your boyfriend has been blowing up your phone since you came home last night, you need to text him before he dies from not talking to you for just a few hours." She said, rolling her eyes playfully as she handed me my phone.

"Thank you so much!" Instantly, I opened up my messages to see all of Mason's texts.

Mason: Goodnight baby ❤️
Mason: Ava?
Mason: There's no way you fell asleep that fast lol
Mason: Text me asap when you get this or when you wake up ❤️

I quietly laughed at how overprotective he is, I quickly texted him deciding to not torture him anymore.

Me: I just got grounded for a few hours Masey lol.

Mason: Lol, you had me freaking out a bit.

Me: I can tell, but then again i'm happy, it means that you care about me.

Mason: Of course Ava and I'll never stop caring about you.

Me: Aw Masey, same to you.

Mason: Stop calling me that.😑

Me: Never 😂❤️

"Okay he is here, we have to be calm!" My mom yelled nervously jumping up and down, waiting for the doorbell to ring.

"Mom, calm down." I giggled at her.

"Ava, you need to be calm for me to calm!" She yelled, frantically blowing her face with her hands.

Wow... I had never seen my mom act this way over a guy, I guess she really liked this Sam guy.

A few minutes later the doorbell ranged as my mom rushed to it, she quickly fixed her hair and proceeded to open the door.
