297 18 4
                                    

i awoke the next morning and looked at the date.

wait a sec.

i've been here for a year? what?

"have i been here for a year?" i typed to sarah. "Yea" she replied. oh.

"oh fuck lol" i responded.
"Get your ass down pls"
"no"
"Yea"
"im lazy"
"We know"

i sighed and slid out of bed. i took my hair out of its weird hairstyle and fluffed it up. i looked at my pjs. a kehlani t shirt and black bottoms. my face was sticky. oh fuckźi looked in the mirror - i slept in make up!

to be fair i came home and went to sleep.

i went to the bathroom and washed and cleansed my face. then i headed downstairs.
"happy one year!" brendon sang and hit his high note.
"geez" i yawned. then i hugged him tiredly. "im bored. im helping. try and stop me" i said to him.
"i wont" he smiled fondly.
"good"

we headed to the kitchen to give sarah a hand (she got a hug too). we soon had some nice breakfast to eat.
"is it a thing to be half happy half sad?" i asked suddenly.
"yup" brendon responded.
"totally" sarah added. "mixed emotions"
"is there a way to be 100% happy?" i said as i finished my food.
"take a shower, put on your favourite clothes and do your make up" sarah suggested.
"im on it"

after showering and drying my hair i got ready into a pink oversized swearer and black wide jeans. i brushed my hair and decided to curl it a little. i then sat at my make up table and put some eye liner on. i filled my eye brows in and brushed mascara onto my eye lashes. i got my highlight and swept it under my brow bones, on my cheek bones, on my nose and cupids bow.

i got my phone out and took a mirror selfie and captioned it:

@alexaurie: i look good wow

i then went downstairs.
"i look good wow" i commented, sitting down. "well you better get your bag as we're going out" sarah said. "where?" i asked.
"we cant say" brendon smiled.
"well i wont tell you...oh fuck it imma get my bag"
i got my mini black kanken and put my things inside. i slung it over my shoulder and headed back downstairs.

brendon was driving. sarah turned the radio on and ariana grande was playing. i typed away on my phone to jake as brendon sang along and sarah listened. the car stopped and i saw that we were at an animal shelter.
"is this my new home?" i joked. brendon scoffed playfully and got out of the car. sarah did too.

we walked inside and sarah covered my eyes carefully. brendon took my hand and they both led me to where we were going. i heard doors, gates and animal noises.

"okay. 3, 2, 1!"

sarah took her hands away and i gasped. at my feet were a bunch of kittens!
"holy shit" i was so shocked. "how- what-holy shit this is so cute" why was i shocked? i don't know.
"you like 'em?" sarah giggled.
"is it even legal to have this much...cuteness...in a small space?"

i fucking love kittens. i like puppies too okay? BUT KITTENS HOLY SHIT.

"brendon im keeping them all" i said as i picked up a small black one.
"in your dreams" he smiled, snapping photos of me.
li'll stuff it in my bra if i have to" i shot back. "she sounds serious" sarah pointed out.
