Chapter 9- "Birthday"

Jayden's POV: 

       I woke up to an empty bed, stretching my arms over carls pillow and pulling it close. I felt my eyes go heavy as the sun kept my face warm through the window. I heard the door creep open and the wooden floors creak. I opened my eyes to what i thought had been Carl, but alas it was only Debbie. I gave her a smile as she sat next to my legs.

    "Sleep well?" Debs said, holding up a warm cup of coffee,

"Oh Debbie that smells like fucking heaven in a cup", i said as i sat up, taking the mug from her hands. She gave me a smile and a small snort as i lifted the mug up to my face. "And i slept like a rock" 

    "Where's Carl?" I asked, setting my cup down and stretching my arms above me. "Who knows Jay," Debbie grabbed my hands as she stood, dragging me up with her, "dress warm, i told Denver we would meet her for breakfast at some cafe for hippies and homos" Debs stated as she sorted through my pile of clothes on the floor.

   "Fuck Debs what time is it?" I groaned as i pulled up a pair of jeans over my thong. 

    "uhh, bit past like one i think." Debbie sighed as she started to walk out the room. I groaned as i pulled on my black zip-up and followed her down the stairs.

  I threw my hands through my hair and rubbed my eyes. My body ached all over, i usually just stay in bed most days but i guess Denver is paying for a breakfast date at this "insta worthy" cafe, as Cece would call it.

  I walk into the kitchen as Debbie lets out a groan. She comes in the kitchen holding Fiona's slippers, "God i wish Fiona would at least try and put these back on the shoe rack" Debs said as she threw the shoes in the pile at the bottom of the empty rack. For some reason recently Debbie has been trying to stay organized-ish. 

    A small thought popped in my head and i began to wonder.. "I thought they're always by the front door?" i said, trying not to make it obvious i'm the ones leaving them there.

   "hell no, and she used to even have the decency to put them by the rack, i swear Jay she's lost it" She said with a shrug, "You know every night i always seem em on the rack but for some reason in the mornings they're always at the door, fucking mid life crisis or something." Debs plopped on the couch flipping through a magazine.

  As i made my way over to the couch i tried to piece together what she was rambling on about. I mean i could've sworn that the slippers are always by the door, at least they are when i sneak down there every night. odd.

   

Carl's POV:

    i made sure to get up early this morning to start working on Jayden's present. I found out late last night that her birthday was December 1st, its the 7th. I was a bit pissed that she didn't tell me at first but seeing how shits been for her, i doubt she knows either.

   I've spent all morning in the van with Lip trying to get everything working good for tonight. I've been planning this for a couple days but with it being her birthday (ish) its perfect timing. 

   Thank fucking god i talked Lip into helping me too. I mean yeah i got the brains to come up with the ideas but shit when it comes to making it happen, i'm not the man. Lip on the other hand is good at nerdy shit like this, i mean he's pretty smart, smartest person i know and thats for shit sure.

   After what seemed like hours in the fucking van i heard Debs open the backdoor, shit.

  I quickly hopped out and ran up to her, "shit debs i need ya to do something for me" i said, stopping her in her tracks.

   "no" she said bluntly, she tried moving past but i took another step in her way "Fuck sake debs do you know when Jayden's birthday is?" i pleaded, she tilted her head and eventually gave a shrug.

   "a couple fucking days ago, and she has no clue" i told her in kinda a whispered tone. Debbies eyes went wide open, "we have to tell her!" debs exclaimed. But before she she ran inside i grabbed her wrist.

    "don't debs, look i have something planned but telling her about her birthday that she forgot is not gonna be good for her." Debbie gave me a sad smile, 

  "alright, i get what you mean, look i'll get her out of the house and just text me when everything's ready." debs said as she made her way back through the back door.

  With that i let out a sigh and slowly made my way back to the van.

   "wanna beer?" 

Jayden's POV:

   A few seconds after i sat down i checked the time on my phone, and also the ten messages from CeCe telling us to hurry our asses up. I showed debs and we both got up. I went to grab a hair tie and headed out the back door. Before i could reach the handle Debbie let out a scream.

"Not that way!" Debs yelled with her arm reached out, i let out a laugh and turned around, walking towards the front door, "you're acting weird" i said giving her a look. We walked across the street as she replied, "Me? Weird? Never.."  

AN

oh hey y'all... this took like a couple days cause well turns out i was the only one who didn't get it so i had to quarantine away from my family. But now everything's getting back to normal, i have the next couple chapters planned out but again i'm always down for suggestions.  

Anyways, xoxo
