CHAPTER 10

THIRD PERSON

They arrived at Silvio's home a little before six. Although all Rosalia wanted to do was sleep, she decided it was better not to keep Silvio's family waiting, and she might even get to see Sophia.

Even with this in mind, Rosalia couldn't help but have this nagging feeling, compelling her to go home, and the strange feeling would not let up.

Silvio drove up the King driveway before parking near the front door. He got out of the car to open the door for Rosalia and moved to the side so she could get out. Rosalia smiled at him muttering a small thanks as he closed the door and they made they're way to the front door.

Silvio opened that door for her too and Rosa couldn't help but blush. Silvio really was a gentleman by nature.

As she stepped inside she waited for him to close the door behind them before moving to the living room.

"happy birthday!" everyone shouted loudly causing her to jump in surprise.
Rosalia's mouth fell open in shock as she looked around. Was it really her birthday? She took her phone out to check the date, it really was her birthday...the day she ruined her parents lives.

A bitter smile formed on her face but she quickly shook the thought away and looked at everyone. There was Sophia, Emilia, Nicollo and Silvio... Bascially the only friends she had.

She forced a smile onto her face as everyone surrounded her with hugs and congratulations. She nodded her head with a smile but inwardly cringed at all the attention she was getting.

Sophia came to hug her. "Happy birthday, Rosa." she said with a smile.

"Thank you guys... Sophia." she said looking at the decorations and the cake on the table.
"I know you don't like big parties and a lot of people, so I hope this is fine for you" Sophia days softly causing the guilt that lingered in Rosa to dwindle.

"Yes, it's perfect Soph. To be completely honest I didn't even know it was my birthday so I'm really surprised right now." Rosalia said with a small laugh.

Sophia didn't get a chance to respond before Nicollo came and lifted her off the ground. "Happy Birthday Angel." He said, spinning her around. Rosalia couldn't help but giggle. "One year closer to being legal". He said wiggling his eyebrows suggestively.

Rosalia laughed and shook her head causing him to pout at her. Silvio stepped in with a frown and pulled Rosalia away from Nicollo, wrapping his arm around her waist without saying a thing.

Rosalia blushed as she leaned into him a little, not minding that there was bascially no space between them.
Sophia gave her a sly grin but didn't say anything about it as she walked to the table.

"Okay everyone, so now we're going to sing happy birthday and then Rosa's going to cut her cake so we can eat." Sophia ordered, ushering Rosalia to sit in the high chair by the cake.

Silvio stood to her left with Sophia on her right while Nicollo started taking a video.
As they sang Sophia began to tie Rosalia's hair out of her face with a smile. Rosalia didn't think much of it as Emilia brought the cake nearer for her to cut.

"Happy birthday dear Rosa, happy birthday to youuu." Rosalia smiled to thank them, but before she could say a word she was pushed forward, her face landing right in the cake.

Sophia started laughing as she gave Rosalia a tissue, who just sat there to shocked to say or do anything. She wiped the frosting from her eyes and looked around, her mouth open in shock.
