Chapter 13: Early Morning Anxiety

SAM'S POV

I'm ashamed to say that I Zaplooked 'one month anniversaries' on my computer at 2 a.m that morning. I couldn't help it! Being the ever so unaware Puckett that I am, I didn't even know if couples did something special for a one month or not. To me, it was stupid. Big whoop, you haven't driven each other off the edge, let's celebrate! Psh, 'celebrate' my ass...At least that's how I used to think until I recieved a text from Freddork at midnight:

From: Freddork

"You're probably gonna punch me in the gut later for sending this, but I don't care :) Sam, this past month has been...incredible and amazing, I can't even describe how much you mean to me. You've made me happier than I've ever felt in a really long time, and I hope it stays that way for us. You're smart, amazingly funny, blunt, crazy, and beautiful...And way too cool to be dating a dweeb such as myself. I like you too much for my own good x) On another note, you won't BELIEVE what I've got planned for you today! Happy one month, demon. ;)"

And that...That is when I began to freak out. I had been awake at the time, watching documentaries about mythical creatures (because, God damn, there really isn't much on TV besides paid infomercials at that hour) and was actually going to give Freddie a call to discuss the Loch Ness Monster just as I recieved the text. My eyes bugged out of my skull, and I raced upstairs to check my diary- uh, I mean, journal. In it, there was a calander at the back. I frantically flipped through the fringed paper and pulled out my cell phone for light. Yep, there it was. Sure enough, the dweeb and I had indeed been 'official' for a month starting that day. I tapped my fingers anxiously on my hip, staring at the text Freddie had just sent, and trying to think of how to reply.

To: Freddork

"i wasn't going too initially. but since u asked... haha jk dork. really? it's been a month already? wow time flies, dont it? right back atchya! i have a question. how is it you sent that 2 page txt EXACTLY at midnight? bet u had it all written out and ready to go till the clock hit 12 huh? ;)"

I grinned at the text, satisfied with how normal it read. (Even making sure that I didn't spell out certain words, or that I left out neccesary appostraphes, 'cause I knew he hated that, and that's why I did it.) I knew that when he would recieve it, he'd have no idea that on the other end I was having a small, but powerful mental breakdown. I turned on my lamp, and booted up my lap top, anxiously glancing at the PearPhone Freddie had found on sale for me months ago for his reply. The dork always texted back immediately. Sure enough, before my computer was even done 'awakening', my phone vibrated, the name 'Freddork' flashing on the screen.

From: Freddork

"Sure does, it feels like just yesterday we were on my fire escape taking a leap of faith... And FYI, I did NOT have it written out. Ok, maybe I did..Hehe.:) You know, you're texting grammar really is atrocious! I can't decide if I love it, or if it annoys the hell out of me. Probably choice 1."

To: Freddork

"Dammit, I thought you hated it! Just for that I'm going to use the darndest (Is that even a word? Hm.) best grammer EVAR, mwahahah! :3"

My computer had finally started running, and I began searching what couples normally do for a one month anniversary. Feeling extremely lame, sleepy, and pressured, I realized that a tear had rolled down my cheek and onto my keyboard. Was I seriously crying out of frustration? For something as stupid and corny as being in a relationship for 4 weeks? Yes, apparently I was. I stopped typing and sat back, giving a short chuckle at how ridiculous I was being. Since when had Freddie ever expected anything from me anyways? He'd be chill with it, hell, I'm sure he'd laugh at his lack of an awesome present. Afterall, he always told me that it was the little things I did that made him happy. I took a deep breathe and inhaled, trying to calm myself. Pull yourself together Puckett, you'll find the perfect gift for Freddie, and everything will be just fine...

My phone buzzed once again. I sniffled and tapped the message.

From: Freddork

"Aw, shoot. Shoulda seen it coming :o Well, anyways, I have an early start today, as you can tell :) Off to make sure everything's just right for today. I know, kill me for being so sappy. x) But face it, you know you're excited to see what I've got planned! And honestly, I'm pretty fucking excited as well, you're not that bad at surprises either ;) Can't wait too see what you've got, I really went all out! G'night, Princess Puckett!"

Oh shit.
