hi i'm writing bc it's the only thing that's taking my mind off the fact school starts tmr for me :/
i'm nervous abt everything lowkey tbh i've never needed a hit so bad in my life 😭
-
my eyes blink open and for the first minute of my day i look around, confused, because where am i?
and then i spot my bags that sit in front of a little mirror in my bedroom, slowly i realize i'm in my room.
i'm in Australia, in my room, and somewhere in this house is austin.
wait but i didn't walk into my room last night to go back to bed, the only thing different is that my shoes are off and my zip up is resting on a chair in the corner of my room.
austin carried me from the car.
i feel bad because he had to do that and carry my bags.
but also i remember he's like completely ripped or at least he used to be.
i turn my head, looking to my left to see a digital clock on my nightstand.
it reads six-forty-three am.
knowing i won't be able to fall asleep, i get up from the bed, walking to my largest suitcase.
opening it i take out black tight fitted leggings and a matching sports bra.
i remember baz mentioning something about this place having its own mini gym?
i don't know but we'll find out.
after slipping on the outfit and tying my hair up, i venture out into the hallway, not knowing where to go.
i walk down the stairs and the house just keeps getting bigger.
finally i come across an empty hallway that has a clear glass door, i look inside and i see one treadmill, a weight lifting bench and a few other things.

smiling, i open the door.
to the left is a mini fridge stocked with water bottles, i grab one and i head over to the treadmill.
thankfully they had water or i would've forgotten.
i put in my AirPods before turning it on i put it at four mph with an incline of two, slowly i increase both.
unfortunately i have to work out almost every day to keep my 'model body' in shape.
i'm used to waking up early considering i have to in order to fit working out into my schedule.
i don't know how long i'm on the treadmill but it has to be around fifty minutes before i stop.
i take a sip of my water and i sit on a bouncy ball that they have for yoga or something, occasionally wiping off the layer of sweat that coats my forehead with a clean towel i found rolled up.
finishing my water, i get up and i walk to the door, throwing it out.
i grab my phone and everything else i brought with me before exiting the gym.
it's almost eight so i wouldn't be surprised if austin is up already.
i walk into the kitchen which is pretty easy to spot, and i head to the coffee maker that sits in the corner.
i don't even notice the man sitting at the island with a cup of coffee in his hand, curiously staring at me.
noticing that coffee is already made i frown and turn around, gasping when i finally spot austin.
his brow quirks upwards and i put my hand on my heart, trying to stop it from beating so hard.
"jesus you scared me." i whisper and i see he smiles at bit.
finally noticing his attire, he sits in grey sweats with a black tight fitted shirt on, his hair is very messy but he doesn't seem to care.

i shake the thoughts out of my head and i turn around, making myself a cup of coffee.
"how long have you been awake?" he asks.
"since like seven, couldn't go back to sleep so i decided on working out." i answer.
he doesn't answer so i assume he's nodding.
i turn back around and i walk over to where he's sitting, taking the seat next to him.
he turns to me with a lopsided grin.
"how did you sleep?"
"i slept okay."
"you seemed to be sleeping perfectly fine when i had to carry you up all the stairs, in fact i recall you mumbling something about how comfy my arms are." he says and his grin turns into a smirk.
a very big one.
my eyes nearly pop out of my head and i smack his arm gently, "i did not." i rush out and he touches my cheek with his finger.
"your blushing."
i groan and i throw my face into my hands, covering it.
i stand up from my seat and i place my mug into the sink.
"i'm taking shower." i state before beginning to walk out of the kitchen.
"you sure you don't want me to carry you? wait we wouldn't want you to fall asleep in my comfy arms." he teases and i roll my eyes.
