Again...I didn't sleep at all last night, I just watched movies and stayed up all night.

I hate sleeping, especially since I get my nightmares. They're starting to become more frequent.

I walk over to my bathroom, looking in my mirror. My eyes were red and my dark circles were literally black. Since I have really fair, light skin, they were easily noticeable.

I sigh, tucking strands of my hair behind my ear before getting ready for the day -

I grab my bag, going downstairs. Dad and Pepper were in the kitchen, making breakfast and Morgan was sat in her chair.

"Happy birthday princess!" Dad gasps, putting pancakes down on her plate.

I should've mentioned Morgan and I share a birthday.

I didn't say anything because the last thing I wanted to do was start anything, so I left, without saying a word to anyone, as usual.

Happy fucking birthday to me.

. . .

I got to school and walked over to Holly and Jackson who both look at me, frowning.

Before I could say anything Holly throws her arms around me.

"I'm so sorry!" She cries out. "I didn't mean anything I said! I started to panic.."

"It's okay.." I hug her back, resting my head on her shoulder.

Jackson smiles, hugging me after Holly was done.

"We love you!" Holly smiles.

"I love you guys too." I chuckle slightly.

"Happy birthday!" Jackson and Holly both give me a gift bag each.

"Open it!" Holly claps her hands in excitement.

I chuckle and open the present Holly got me. It was carefully wrapped in pink wrapping paper with a black ribbon tied around it. I open it and there was a tennis bracelet, the same as Holly's.

"Now we're matching!" She holds her arm out.

I smile, slipping it on.

"Thank you! I love it!" I hug her.

"Of course! I'm glad you like it!" She hugs me back.

"Now open mine, loser!" Jackson smiles.

I chuckle, pulling off the black ribbon and unwrapping the blue paper and opening the box. Inside was a pair of diamond studs.

"You guys shouldn't have!" I gasp, looking at them.

"It's your sixteenth, Lils..we have to do something for it! It's a big milestone!" Jackson chuckles as I hug him.

"Thank you both, so much.." I smile, putting my earrings in.

"Yay!" Holly claps her hands in excitement.
