Seize The Day

When I woke up Zacky was gone already. I got out of bed and took a shower, I slipped into some yoga shorts and a tank top. When I walked out of my room the house was quiet and walked to Cassy’s room and opened the door but her room was empty. When I walked to the kitchen there was a note on the fridge.
“I have a job today won’t be home until late.
Love you, Cassy”“Then what the hell am I supposed to do today.” I mumbled to myself as I tossed the note into the trash. I poured myself a bowl of cereal and sat down at the table. While I was washing the dishes my phone vibrated, when I looked at the screen it was a message from Austin.
“Wanna hangout today- A”
“Sure, what time? –K”
“Be there in 10 –A”
I went back into my room and put on a maxi skirt and tank top. I slipped on some sandals and the doorbell rang. “Coming!” I grabbed my purse and opened the door to Austin’s smiling face.
“Looking as beautiful as ever” He said smiling at me.
“I know.” I said smiling
Austin took me to the pier and he bought me churros and a corm dog. “Is this really something a girl should be eating?” Austin asked taking a bite of his own corndog.
“Shhh it’s okay, I have a fast metabolism and an okayish work out routine.” I said taking a big bite of my churro.
“So how are things with your dream boat boyfriend?” Austin asked smiling at me. “Even better yet the appearance of the sexy ex?” I already told him everything that had happened with Zacky and I but how did he know about Aaron?
“How did you know about the ex?” I asked looking at him over my jumbo sized slurpy.
“Cassy told me.” He said happily taking my slurpy and taking a sip.
“I don’t know how things are I haven’t had a chance to talk about what happened yesterday with Zacky and I’m too scared to go to the studio incase he’s there again.” I said taking back my slurpy. “I know Zacky came home last night but he had to leave early this morning.” I said taking a sip.
“Who knew rock stars got up so early in the morning.” Austin said staring at me.
“What do I have churro on my face?” I said grabbing a napkin.
“No I’m just slightly disappointed in you.” He said shrugging and leaning back in his chair.
“What why?” I asked leaning forward on the table. Austin leaned forward as well our faces inches apart. His breath smelt like cherry slurpy and churros.
“I can’t you believe you picked the short one over the tall muscular one, like honestly I thought you made a better couple with him.” He said sighing and leaning back in his chair. He never formally met any of the guys so he didn’t know any names.
“Huh how could you say that, you’ve only seen us together once?” I said leaning back in disbelief.
“Oh come on the short one forgave his best friend before his girlfriend, Ah and don’t try the ‘We just started dating’ excuse because honestly that wasn’t fair what he did. He should have forgiven you before his best friend and you look more natural standing next to the tall muscular one, in all you just seem more relaxed around him.” Austin said, I wanted to be mad but he looked so sincere. And it made me wonder if that’s what it looked like to all outsiders, Cassy was biased because she only ever saw me with Zacky she never really observed the way I was with Matt. I mean Matt was sweeter with me than Zacky was and he was the only one that came out to check on me yesterday with Aaron. “Oh no have I caused a mental breakdown.” Austin said standing up waving his hand in front of my face.
I snapped out of my line of thought, “What no you didn’t.” I said smiling, though he definitely gave me things to think about.
“So like if you break up by chance you’re not going to blame me right?” Austin asked laughing nervously.
“Of course not, well at least I won’t blame you some other people might.” I said grabbing my churro and taking another bite.
“If you do break up just remember not to start dating right away that’s insensitive and bitchy.” He said taking a sip of my slurpy.
“You know why didn’t you just get your own?” I asked snatching it away from him.
“Oi technically I did I bought this one you insensitive woman.” For the next few hours we did nothing but talk and mess around on the pier and I never realized how much I needed a day like this until now.
