I couldn't sleep it was 2AM  I decided to build a fort. I grabbed a ton of pillows, blankets, mini string lights, and other building fort necessities and started building. once done it was soooo  cool. i loved every part of it. I got in, turned on some music from my TV and layed down hoping maybe now that it was 3:30AM i could possibly get some sleep.

"MAX WAKE UP IM NOT GOING TO TELL YOU AGAIN!" Nathan yelled at me for the 3rd time this morning. I had talked told him multiple times i didn't want to go, But he said i needed to get fresh air and wanted to bring me to the mall.

"I already told you I have plenty of air right here in my fort, why do I have to be dragged through a stupid mall. I could go mall shopping off my phone." i  whined through the curtain of my fort.

"Because I said so. You have 30 minutes to be down stairs or I will take away all your electrical privileges!" i gasped. I couldn't see him but i could feel the satisfied smirk on his dumb face.  I sighed.

"Fine get out so i can get dressed. for all you know i could be nude under this fort." i could hear him chuckle as he shut the door behind him. I decided to wear a black veil brides t-shirt, ripped skinny jeans, and some red and white checkered vans; they were my favorite pair of shoes. I decided to also grab my black beanie. after that i styled my hair, slid my beanie on and grabbed my large amount of band bracelets sliding them onto my wrists. as I was walking out of my room I could hear nathan yell "You have 5 minutes to get down here right now." i yelled back.

"I need to brush my teeth and use the bathroom give me two seconds!" i rushed to the bathroom and grabbed one of my binders, i took my shirt off and slid it on, then reput my shirt on, and then started brushing my teeth. one thing i always hated about my teeth was i had teeth that was really sharp. i looked like a vampire with them. But nathan always told me its what made me unique.. it didn't hurt when i bite things but it just looked different. Most people my age had straight across teeth but mine had that different edge to them.

after my bathroom routine i finally walked down stairs. i grabbed 2 monsters from the fridge because we all knew i would need them.  i decided to grab my mini backpack i had and put it in there with my headphones, phone, and charger incase my phone started dying. i also grabbed my wallet and shoved it in there.  once i had everything, I nodded to nathan and he grabbed his keys walking out to the car.

we was only 2 hours in and i hated it already. i was so bored, i had to push the cart nathan rented out for us so that i wasn't able to leave. 

"Can we go yet this is so boring." I whined following him through a cologne section. He ran out of his one and wanted a new one. He grabbed the cologne and walked to the front to pay for it. 

"Fine ill take you to somewhere you might actually like." He said walking out with his tiny bag. we walked past a few stores and came up to one that said "I Bandz Rhythm". it was pretty much what you would consider a off brand hot topic.  

I looked inside and instantly saw millions of things that was calling my name. i pushed the cart straight to the back and started grabbing one or 2 of every shirt. i loved all of them. i also grabbed more bands for my wrists and so much more. I found roller shoes, wrist bands, t shirts, posters, and so much more.  i even got a phone case with a bunch of band song quotes/lyrics written on it.

after 40 minutes of grabbing pretty much everything in the store i was ready to cash out. the cashier looked at the cart with amusement. 

"Find everything alright?" she said chuckling. i responded, "yes!" while jumping up and down waiting for everything to be rang through. a assistant had to help bag and re stock in the cart all of my things. the total came out to 835.40 dollars. i knew nathan didn't care and handed them the money i needed to pay for it. I told them they could keep the $0.60.

I ran out to bench and slid my shoes on. nathan was sitting down eating nachos as he waited for me to come out of the store. I sat down next to him putting the roller shoes on. I tested them out and was so happy with them. it made getting around so much fun. i started skating around the area in front of nathan laughing with how much fun i had.

nathan patted the place beside him and I sat down. 

"So your friend Dakota called," He stated sipping his drink, "he wanted to know if you'd want to come over. his parents are leaving so he wants to know if you'd house sit with him so he's not lonely. plus he wants someone to hang out with and his little sister is at one of her friends house. anyways i told him you would because i know you would want to. so if your done taking everything from this poor store I'd say let's go." he said grabbing his empty food container and throwing it away.

i smiled thinking that Dakota wanted me to come over. I helped nathan bring everything to the car and got in.

"we gotta stop by the house first so we can drop everything off. well take your stuff up to your room so that when you do get back you can put it where ever you want it." I nodded getting in the car happy to be able to see Dakota.
