Nine

I woke up at 9AM on the dot. I sat up in my bed on my white sheets and scanned my room, rubbing my eyes in the process. I yawned and checked my phone on my nightstand, glancing at the date. March 15th, 2015.

Today was my 24th birthday.

I got up from my bed to open the curtains to let some sunlight in. "I gotta make the best outta today..." I whispered to myself. No matter how much I went through on this day, I had to promise myself to make it a good one. I slipped on my favorite pair of pink leopard print sleep shorts, due to the fact of me only having on a t-shirt, and walked out my room downstairs. I made my way downstairs to the kitchen, immediately being hit with the smell of fresh fruit and a familiar smell. I rounded the corner to see everyone in the kitchen working to make a huge breakfast. "Good morning everyone." I said aloud. Viviana, Marie, Fatima, and even Beverly turned around with the most hugest smiles they could plaster on their faces. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY NYLA!!!!" they all yelled. I couldn't contain my smile, it stretched from ear to ear like the chestisire cat, I was beyond elated! "Thank you all so much...are those crepes?!" I said excited. I felt like a kid in the candy store, the day hasn't even officially started and I was already getting what I wanted. "Yes ma'am they are! You know I don't forget they were your favorite." Marie said. She finished fixing two of them for me, I looked closer to see...oh no. "And they have nutella?! Oh my goodness Marie!" I said giving her a hug. "Hey, save that loving for some of us!" Viviana said, the rest of them joining Marie and I for a group hug. Lately I've been feeling like I was in this alone. But seeing how the girls went above and beyond for me this morning really showed me that they actually do care. I began to slowly shed tears. "Awe baby don't cry, its just breakfast." Fatima said making me giggle. "I'm sorry, it just that I didn't know you guys remembered, or even cared for that matter. This really means a lot to me, thank you guys again." I said sniffling. "Yeah, I guess when you aren't being a bitch, you can be cool sometimes." Bentley said. "And when you aren't being a pain in the ass, I guess you can be pretty cool sometimes too, haha." I replied laughing. We all sat down after that and ate breakfast together. It felt like we were bonding, and I was loving it.

"So what do you want to do? Today is all about you Hermosa." Marie said. I feel like we haven't bonded like we usually do in a while now, so it surprised me how catering she was being. "Um, I really don't have a desire for anything in particular. Whatever you guys plan, I'm down." I said. I really didn't have that many guilty pleasures, growing up I didn't have much so I didn't expect much. "Well, I think we should go to the go-kart track! It'll be fun!!" Fatima said. "Tima, I thought they only had that on Mario Kart?!" Viviana said. I slapped my forehead in frustration, goodness this girl wasn't the brightest crayon in the box. "Well in that case, we should all go get ready huh?" I said laughing. We all retreated back upstairs to our rooms to get dressed. My hand reached my doorknob when I heard someone come press their body against my backside.

"Goodmorning my queen." He said kissing me on my cheek & rubbing the side of my hand, the area where we got our matching tattoos at. "Diggy, I told you not to call me that..." "Well what do you want me to call you? Princess? Cause that's an understatement." He said. I blushed at his remark. Ever since we got those tattoos he's been acting really...amorous towards me lately, but low key I was liking it. "So what are you getting ready for? Something special happening today?" He asked smiling. I turned my head slightly and squinted. "Do you...not remember what today is, Daniel?" I asked him. His smile slowly faded and twisted with confusion. ".....Am I missing something?" That's all he needed to say. I twisted my doorknob and tried to walk in my room, but was yanked back by my arm. "Wait wait wait baby wait, I'm clueless, seriously am I missing something here?!" He semi-yelled. I put up my hand and just shook my head. "Its absolutely nothing Dan, just...go, just leave." And with that, I shut my door right in his face.
