Skylee P.O.V
                              For a moment, I just stared at him still. 
                              "Hey, don't show me that face." He whispered, sitting beside me. 
                              I blinked.
                              "It's my birthday?" I asked.
                              "Yeah..." He looked unsure as he watched me carefully.
                              "Then leave me alone!" I grumbled, covering my face with my hands. You have got this, Skylee. Relax. Take a deep breath. I consoled myself. I knew I was so close to a breakdown and I didn't want to have one in front of anyone. It's not a big deal. It's not like your 18th birthday meant so much to you. 
                              "GO away, Burak!" I yelled at him angrily with tears stinging at the back of my eyes.
                              "Oh, I will. Just open my gift first." He said calmly, taking my hands off my face and pointing with his eyes at the wrapped gift box. Totally ignoring my sulking face. 
                              "Then I want you out of this room," I said. 
                              "Promise." He nodded. 
                              Sighing, I picked the gift box and unwrapped it. My brows creased together as I stared at it. It was a small box of designer Phillip Ashley Chocolates. The beautiful colored chocolates mocked me and I glared at them. I looked up to shoot him a glare but a single tear escaped my eye.
                              "You are so bad! You're making fun of me! How could you gift me chocolates when you know I hate them! I hate you and I hate everyone! Go away!" I cried as I throw the box at him. 
                              He caught the box with a troubled face. He didn't expert my outburst in tears. However, I just picked the pillow and threw that on him. He caught it, too.
                              "Just go to hell!" I sobbed and again picked a pillow and threw it at him. This time, he let the pillow hit him square at his face.
                              I stared at his face with my teary eyes. He stared back with a soft and concerned look in his eyes.
                              "Why didn't you catch it?" I deadpanned, aggressively rubbing the tears off my eyes. 
                              He smiled before placing the pillow in front of me. 
                              "Let it all out. Come on, hit me." 
                              At this, I actually launched at him. No, not to hit him but to choke him with my bone-crushing hug.
                              "I hate all of them! How dare they freaking ruined my birthday! I was supposed to tell him about me! That I am a Kingston but no, they had to come with freaking guns and attack me! I'm happy those all stupid dogs died but I hate the fact that I'm happy they died! And he had to break my guitar! That guitar had so many memories. I lost them all. And I left him too. He must be thinking I am mad but I'm not. I'm just sad, not angry. He is more important than my guitar. Hell, he's more important than anything in this world. Besides, I know it was an accident but..." I sobbed loudly as I added, "God, now, I'm blabbering! I hate everyone!"
                              I heard him chuckle. He was holding my shaking body tight so that we won't fall off the bed. 
                              "It's a lot to take in." He said, caressing my head as I continued to cry on his shoulder. I cried and cried, not bothering to exactly figure at what thing I was crying. I just had so much to cry. So, I just let out all of it. 
                              After almost what felt like a century, the tears stopped and I felt so tired and sleepy.
                              "I hate you too." I whimpered, still hugging him.
                              "Aww, I know you love me, babes." 
                              "Have some shame. I'm your big sister."
                              "There's no saying that you can't call your sister with endearments."
