"Happy Birthday Dear Nick, Happy Birthday To You!" The people in the restaurant around us clapped as Nick blew out his candles. We surprised him to dinner at a steakhouse for his birthday. It was a busy night but Clay got the staff to bring out a cake and sing for him.

"How's it feel to be twenty?" Clay asked. He was sitting in the booth next to me with his arm around my shoulder, letting me lean into his chest.

Nick shoved a bite of the cheesecake in his mouth. "Exactly the same as nineteen."

"Ok. But you're old now." I joked.

"Hey!" Clay turned to me. "I'm twenty-one?"

I reached and petted the stubble on his chin. "But it's hot on you." 

"Fuck yeah it is." I pulled him for a quick kiss.

"Y'all are nauseating." Nick said from across the table.

"You're just jealous you don't get laid." I smirked at him.

He rolled his eyes and shoved another bite in. "And you're not getting any of my cake."

"I have my fatass so I'm good." I teased.

"Fat? AJ don't kid yourself, you-" His phone rang on the table, lighting up with a weird name I didn't recognize 'The Smasher'. "Hey man." He picked up. "Oh yeah. In Orlando?" He leaned back in his seat with a smile. "Absolutely. I'm free Wednesday to hang. Ok. Yeah, I'll ask her. I'll text you my addy." Addy?

"Who was that?" Clay asked.

He set his phone down and took another bite of cake. "AJ. You remember Adam from high school?"

Adam. That name made me instantly sick. I froze. I could feel the air escape from my lungs and my hands tremble. Clay noticed and shook me. I looked up at him, he tilted his head in concern. "Yeah." I turned back to Nick. "I remember Adam."

"Well, he's going to be in town this week for a lacrosse championship and wants to hang out while he's here. He asked if you want to come?"

"No."

"No? Why?" He asked. "You two were close in high school."

"I just don't want to ok." I shouted.

"Ok, damn. Don't have to yell at me."

Clay pulled the hair off my neck. "Are you okay?" He asked softly.

"I just want to leave." I scooted out of the booth and walked out of the restaurant. I thought I was going to get sick if I stayed any longer.

My eyes flashed open and I quickly sat up on the bed. I was rapidly breathing, arms shaking with hot tears rushing down my cheeks. My heart felt like it was going to come out of my chest. I was starting to get light-headed, I couldn't calm myself to breathe. I felt a hand tug on my arm and I screamed, swatting it away. When I opened my eyes again it was Clay. His tired face was being covered by his wide eyes.

I realized I wasn't in my room, I fell asleep snuggling with Clay after we got back from dinner. He was worried about me after I ran out of the restaurant on him and Nick. He didn't pressure me to talk, but instead pulled me into his room and threw me on the bed. I laughed at it. He pounced on me and wrapped me in his arms and I fell asleep there.
