chapter 11

blair's pov
"happyy birthdayyy to youu!" i hear my family chant as i'm sleeping. i feel someone climb on my bed and tap my shoulder. they pull my blankets off my head and i see river.
"happy birthday to youuu, happy birthday to blairrr! happy birthday to you" they all sing. my mom held my favorite vegan chocolate cake in her hands with candles lit.
i look at my family with a smile then blowing out the candles.
"happy birthday blair, you're getting old and one of these days i'll finally win at beat saber" river smiles.
"oh yeah! well that's not happening sucker" i began tickling him, his laughter filling our saturday morning.
"happy birthday hunny" my mom says kissing my cheek.
"my baby girl is getting so old" my dad fake cries. i stand up and pull them into a group hug.
mason wears a goofy smile, clapping his hands together.
"go shower, breakfast is almost done" my mom says as they leave my room. i check my phone and it's 12:30. i take a peaceful shower, vibing to lil skies. once i'm out, i put my hair into two french braids. i go through my closet picking out a travis scott shirt, orange joggers, and my off white jordan retro.

i walk downstairs to the kitchen, balloons tied to the chair, and some gifts that sat at the island.
i finally check my messages and see dakota sent me a paragraph, along with messages from ace and tyler.
kota🥰💕: happy birthday best friend🎉! about time ur 18, ur not a baby anymore. i can't actually believe we've been friends for 10 years 🥺anyway i love you❤️❤️❤️ and i'll see you later at ur house before the party 😙
i smile at the cute text and shoot her back a reply.
me: 10 years is a long time, but i love you sm🥺❤️ and lmk when u outside
i respond to the boys messages, thanking them.
"take a seat, i'll serve you" my mom says. i smile, taking my normal seat, across from river.
"you going out with your friends today?" my mom ask, as she serves me first. avocado toast, tofu eggs, and hash brown filling my plate.
"yeah, noah- you remember noah right? we was on the swimming team together in middle school" she nods her head, "it's his birthday too, but he's throwing a party later. kota is meeting me here before we leave around 10ish" i explain, as she sets up everyone else's plate.
"i haven't seen that boy in a long time. but that's fine, you still wanna go out to dinner right?" she ask, taking her seat at the end of the table.
"for sure, and thank you. this is gonna slap" i give her a goofy smile, digging into my food.
"of course honey, happy birthday!" she smiles.

we ate our food with some small talk.
"time to open your presents!" river claps excitedly. "blair, open mines first" he says running to the island.
"okay" i chuckle, following him.
"i saved my allowance, but it was worth it" he says, smiling from ear to ear as he hands me the tallest one.
"you didn't have to do that river" i ruffle his hair. i unwrap the present and see a beautiful black acoustic guitar.
"river, how'd you know?" i gasp.
"i asked tyler and ace and they said you've been wanting to learn the guitar" he explains. i pull him into a hug, tickling him, his laughters filling my ears.
"thank you buddy" i smile, pulling away.
i open the gifts my parents got me, which was some new clothes and shoes.
"thank you guys" i pull them into a family hug, when the doorbell rings. "i'll get it" i pull away, and walk to the door. i open it and see billie standing there, with an adorable smile on her face. she holds a chocolate donut with a lit candle at the top.
"happy birthday blair!" she laughs. i smile a chuckle leaving my mouth. i close my eyes, then blow the candle out.
"you remembered, thank you billie" i smile, taking the donut from her hand, pulling her into a warm hug.
"who is it?" my mom ask.
"you wanna come in?" i ask. she smiles, nodding her head. "it's billie" i turn around to look at my family.
"billie this is my dad, you met my mom, and this is river and mason" i introduce.
"please call me amani, and it's nice to see you again billie" my mom smiles.
"nice to meet you billie, i'm kylo. blair hasn't brought a new friend in a while-" my dad explains.
"ok dad" i chuckle, trying to change the subject.
"so your billie eilish?" river walks up to billie, his round eyes looking into her eyes. i shake my head, taking a bite of my donut. billie chuckles looking at me. i raise my eyebrows with a smile, enjoying my donut.
"yes, that's me, it's nice to meet you river" she smiles.
"do you wanna play beat saber?" he giggles.
"are you just as bad as blair?" she questions with a smile, earning an oouu from my parents.
"you lost every round" i jokingly fight back.
"never! i'm better, come on follow me so you can lose!" river shouts, running upstairs, billie and i following to river's room.
"your fit is fire by the way" she says as we walk into his room.
"thanks, you don't look to bad yourself" i smirk, taking a seat. she wore a plaid shirt, with baggy ripped jeans shorts and white nike high tops.
