together we will be unbroken

"Wait, so you're telling me that you've been on your own since you were seventeen?!!?" Kina exclaims.

"Yupp." I sigh.

"Damn, you've got balls." She smiles. We've been out shopping since ten. It's now one O'clock and we are getting our nails done. "So you live in L.A right?"

"Yeah why?"

"I just can't believe I haven't seen you before. Do you go clubbing very often?"

"I go once or twice a month, sometimes more. It depends on the mood that i'm in and how busy I am."

"What are you busy doing? No offence but you seem like a workaholic."

"Well that's because I am, and I'm normally busy practicing. I go to The Berklee School of Music in Boston. It's really tough so I'm always practicing."

"You're only in college?!?!" He eyes go wide and her jaw drops.

"Yes..." I don't look older than I am...

"How old are you?"

"Nineteen..."

"Shut up. That is amazing! I wish I had my shit together like you at nineteen. Hell, I don't even have my shit together now!"

"Trust me sweetie, my shit isn't as together as you think it is.."

"So tell me." She turns to face me. "Do you have a boyfriend?"

"Ugh... boyfriends aren't really my thing." She gives me one of those I'm on to you looks. "I'm more of a one night stand kind of girl." I smile.

"I knew it!" she smiles. We chat for the rest of the day, get some lunch, and do some more shopping. She seems like a really nice girl.

"I can't wait to see how hungover they are." I smile as I grab my shopping bags out of the backseat.

"Why are they funny?"

"No, they're really fun to mess with though." I smile.

"you're going to have to introduce me to everyone."

"Of course!" I walk through the door and find the house to be dead silent. "hmm.. their cars are here..."

"This is kinda freaky."

"Yeah you're telling me. I don't think it's ever been this quiet. I'm going to put these in my room." I walk to my room, open the door, and begin find Ronnie asleep on my bed. Naw... he's cuddling with my pillow. I put my bags down as quietly as possible, but I end up waking him up.

"Tum is that you?" He moans.

"Yes it is love. How are you feeling?" I ask gently.

"Like shit."

"I can imagine." I laugh.

"Will you come cuddle?" Ronnie is like me when we are sick, we both act like children.

"Of course, just let me make sure Kina has something to do okay?"

"Who's Kina?" he groans.

"You'll see." I walk out the door and to the top of the stairs. I see her asleep on the couch and smile. Looks like someone's shopped till she dropped. I go back to my room, and climb into bed with Ronnie.

"I love you Tum." He says into my forehead.

"I love you too Buttercup." He laughs and we both drift off to sleep.
