“Lucy, are you awake yet?” Mum wakes me from my slumber by barging through my room and blinding me with sunlight as she rips open my curtains.
“Mmm” I manage to say.
“She’s so bloody lazy” I hear Eleanor mutter. Wait, Eleanor!? “Lucy, get the hell up and welcome me home”
“Eleanor?” I frown, pulling myself up from the bed and rubbing my eyes to adjust my sight.
“Happy birthday, Stratford” she chuckles, pouncing on me as she tackles me for a hug.
“Oh my god, when did you get here?” I gasp as she continues to cuddle me.
“Just then” she chuckles, pulling away and sitting up with me on the bed. “I couldn’t be at home for your birthday”
“Aw, Eleanor” I squeal, glancing over at my Mum and she smiles in awe at us.
“Come on, it’s already midday and you haven’t opened one present. If you’re not getting up, I’ll be opening them for you” she smirks.
Wow, I can’t believe she’s actually here. I know what you’re thinking, Eleanor’s here all the time, but actually, the day after we left LA, Eleanor went straight back to Cheshire. How depressing is that? Mind you, I do live with the girl for 11 months of the year. How I’m not sick of her yet, I’ll never know.
Seriously though, a birthday meal with my family and a couple presents off them was basically what I was expecting today to be like. Eleanor attacking me into a bear hug was definitely not on the agenda.
By the way, in case you haven’t realised, today’s my birthday. 19 today baby, hell yeah. And I still can’t drive...
“Happy birthday, Lucy!” Matt calls as soon as I make my way into the living room.
“Matt!” I smile as he pulls me in for a hug. I pull away and turn to Lauren. “Hey!”
“Happy birthday” she chuckles, opening her arms and squeezing me tightly when I make my way into them.
“Thanks for coming” I laugh.
“No problem” she smiles. “Your presents are in the bag”
“Thank you!” I squeal, walking over to the sofa and sitting down next to the bag of presents.
Eleanor and her family got me a pamper kit thing with body creams, bath bombs and shower gels and stuff inside. They also got me some really nice silver earrings, perfume and an eye shadow pallet. And I’ve thanked them several times for this because lets be serious, I’ve been spoilt rotten.
My parents got me a new phone because I think I got this phone the birthday before I moved to Brighton. Yeah, about 3 years now. I’ve just upgraded to a better iPhone because my iPhone 4 wasn’t doing me any favours. It was barely capable of taking a photo... Ok, maybe that’s an exaggeration.
After setting up my new phone and texting my new number to all my contacts, I decide to return a few of Jack’s calls.
“Hey! Happy birthday” he cheers as soon as he answers the phone.
“Thanks Jack” I chuckle.
“So tell me what you’ve got”
“Well I got a new phone which explains the new number, and Eleanor’s got me some perfume and some stuff you’re probably not interested in” I briefly tell him. He probably zoned out as soon as I started telling him what I got.
“Oh cool, you’ll have to show me”
“Yeah” I roll my eyes, knowing he’s not interested in the slightest. “When are you coming round anyway?”
