His Rose [18]

Club Apollo

Death is not the greatest loss. The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live.

On a Friday morning I woke up to my mom horribly singing at the top of her lungs, she had a cake in hand with a number  eighteen candle on it. At first I was confused when I saw it then it registered to me that it's my birthday.

"Happy birthday my sweet baby." my mom rejoiced after singing happy birthday to me. I blew out the candle and right on queue Elena ran into the room with gift bags.

"Happy birthday Best Friend I love you!"  she shouted with excitement, I beamed at her and thanked them both for the surprise.

My mom got me a necklace similar to her ring, she said that my grandmother had it made for me before she and my grandfather passed away in a car accident. I wish I met my grandparents, my mom told me stories about what funny people they were. Sadly they passed away while she was pregnant with me. Elena got me a gold friendship bracelet with diamonds along the chain that matched with hers and a black and gold Rolex watch. I thanked them again and they left so that I could get ready for the day.

When I was done I descended the stairs and I was given a plate filled with bacon and pancakes.

"Thanks mom."

"You're welcome honey, I'll be in my room if you girls need anything." with that she left the kitchen.

"Soooo, do you have any plans for your day?" Elena asked with a playful grin on her face.

"No, I thought we could just chill and watch Netflix or something."

"I have a better idea, lets go to a club to celebrate properly ." she suggested

"What are you crazy? How would we even get in?" I looked at her as if she had grown two heads but on the inside I  rejoiced  because it was my kinda scene, I can't remember the last time I went to a club just to party and have fun.

"Come on Ivy ."she whined giving me her puppy dog eyes.

" Okay fine. " I finally gave in and she shrieked in excitement.

" Great so we can go shopping after school for some revealing clothes because the ones you wear on a daily basis stress me out. I already have the fake IDs covered so don't worry about it sweaty."she commented.

"Wow you really thought this through huh? And how do my clothes stress you out? " was all I asked before finishing my breakfast.

"They hide your beautiful body Ivy come on." she replied swiping through her phone.

The day passed by in a blur and soon Elena and I were already getting ready for the club. I picked Club Apollo because my target was going to be there tonight like he always is. I followed him the day before and found that he conducts he's business from his club most of the time. He was going to be a easy kill just like Silas said. While Elena was in the shower I made sure to hid a small knife in my garter harness because a gun would be too uncomfortable to walk around in. I put on the dress she helped me pick out and waited for her to come do my make up and hair because she insisted.
