I woke up because August was shaking me. I saw everyone standing around me with balloons and presents.

"Happy Birthday Jade!!" Everyone yelled, even Micaela

"Thanks guys! On god I forgot today was my birthday." I said, laughing

Everyone laughed and Micaela said, "Hey Jade! Happy Birthday girly!"

"Thank you! How are you feeling?" I asked

"Better, and I know you want to know what happen. I'll explain everything tomorrow." she said

I nodded my head and looked at the clock. It was 9:57 and we could finally leave after I sign the discharge papers. There was a knock at the door and Dr. Parker came in smiling.

"Good morning everyone! Glad to see everyone smiling. Here are the discharge papers that need to be signed and then you're free to go!" she said smiling

"Thank you!" I said

I signed the papers and everyone else was helping Micaela in some way. Colin and August were grabbing all of her teddy bears and flowers from people. Tre was helping her walk and Ryan was getting her purse and stuff.

"Everyone meet up at my place." I said

"Now?" Tre asked

"No nigga next month. Yes now!" I said, laughing

"Just because you legal, don't mean you gotta disrespect me." he said

"Sorry DAD." I said sarcastically

We walked out and right before I was about to get in my car, I felt cold hands grip my waist. I turned around to see August smiling too hard.

"Happy Birthday bae." he said

I gave him a kiss and said, "Thank you Auggie."

"So we're going out tonight at 8. Get Ryan and Micaela ready to, and make sure you're done packing for tomorrow." he said

"Thank you so much. I love you!" I said

"I love you too ma." he said, giving me a kiss.

"COME ON LOVE BIRDS! CAN'T YOU DO THAT SOMEWHERE ELSE?" Micaela yelled

I laughed, "You mad suh?"

I got in the car and played Drake's new mixtape. I swear i'm in love with every song he makes. We got to my place in 10 minutes and everyone was already there.

"Damn. How fast were yall going?" I asked

"Too fast for your slow ass." Tre said

I rolled my eyes and said, "Next rude comment you say to me, yo ass is grass nigga."

He didn't know I was kidding so he didn't say anything after that. I silently laughed and walked to unlock my front door.

"So what are we doing for your birthday Jade?" Colin asked

"We're just hanging out here and August said everyone ready by 8 tonight." I answered

"Let's go to lunch at Houston's." Ryan said

"Yeah. Let's go for a birthday lunch and tonight we'll turn up." Micaela said

"Ok. Everyone be ready at my door at 2, ok?" I asked

Everyone nodded there heads. I went to the kitchen to get water and, I saw from the corner of my eye that Colin was following me.

"Hey." he said

"Hey. Wassup?" I asked

"I need some help. I know we haven't known each other for a long time but I feel like we're gonna be best friends sooner or later."

I nodded my head, "Continue.."

"Ok, so I like Micaela a lot but from what I heard she is still with Rashad. I want to ask her out but I don't want to get rejected." he said, looking down.

"Oh wow. Well honestly, I don't know what's going on between her and Rashad right now. I'll figure out if you want me to." I said

He smiled, "Yeah, thanks Jade."

"No problem. I'm always here if you need anything, ok?" I said, returning the smile.

"Thanks." he said, walking to give me a hug

I embarrassed it and we stood there for a good second. I quickly broke the hug when I saw August come to the kitchen. Right after I saw it, I knew he was mad because he turned right back around and left.

"August wait!!" I yelled running after him

He was unlocking his car and said with an attitude, "What?"

"I don't know why you're mad. What you saw was a friendly hug because I just gave Colin some advice." I said

"So you had to hug him? You couldn't give him a high five or some shit like that?" he said, rudely

"August, I would never cheat on you so I don't know why you're so angry." I said, trying to fight back tears

"You don't get it. I decided to be that player kind of boy after all these hoes started playing me. I actually feelin you ma, and not tryna lose you anytime soon."

I stood there shocked and walk closer to him, "August, baby look at me."

We looked into each others eyes for a while but it felt like forever.

"Your not going to lose me. I promise you. Only way that will ever get happen is if you get tired of me. Ok?" I told him

He nodded his head and pulled me into a kiss. "I love you Jade."

"I love you too."

"I'll see you in a few hours, ok? I need to get some clothes and your gifts together." he said

"Aww, can't you stay for a little longer?" I asked

"I want to be ready at the right time." he said, opening his door.

"Fine. Then you better show up early." I said

He chuckled, "Ok I will."

I smiled as he got into his car. I waited outside until I didn't see him anymore. I can't wait for tonight. I might do something i'll regret..
