Short description: happy birthday

........
The music downstairs was loud enough to wake neighbors but my parents didn't care, they were having their fun with my uncles and aunts as their children played in the back yard, enjoying the pool and all the sugar they can get their hands on.

Meanwhile, i was in my bedroom, i snuck away a while ago, after all the embarrassing baby photos were brought in, stealing a few bottles while i was on my way out.

I sat on the ground, underneath one of the two windows in my room, drinking as i heard the laughter, music and chatter throughout the house and staring at the door, as if someone will just walk through and take me away forever.

A knock on the door brought me out of my state, i hurriedly hid the bottles under my bed with a blanket over them to stop the glass from clanking against one another and opened the door slightly.

"Honey, some kids are here, they say they're your friends" mom said and walked away. "He came?" I whispered but then saw the losers club kids walk up the stairs, i sighed as they just walked passed me and into my room.

They all said happy birthday as they walked in and set some gifts down on my bed. I closed my door because it was still loud outside and walked over to them. "I wasn't expecting you all..." i told them "well that's mostly because you never told us it was your birthday today" Beverly said.

I didn't want people to come over, i just don't like being around people, being alone is something i like, apart from when I'm with Henry, with him, it's different, i actually like being around him, even if it's not to be friends.

We talked for about an hour, or, they talked and i just sat there. Eventually they left when the first few family members started leaving and the music was turned off. I sighed with relief as more people started leaving and peaceful silence overtook the house.

I hid the empty bottles in my closet to throw away when mom and dad go to work and put the last few gifts away.

It was now late and i was getting ready for bed, slightly disappointed by the day. I was about to get into bed but i heard faint taps on my window. Walking over and looking out, i saw that it was Henry, i was confused but kind of happy.

Henry and i have a strange relationship, no one knows about but we aren't dating, though i would like us to, we were more like friends with benefits, he'd 'visit' me when i was home alone or we'd just make out secretly in the woods or at the quarry.

I was confused at the fact that he was at my house because he said he wouldn't be coming, even after the party.

I opened my window and let him in, he got in and looked around, probably seeing some of the new birthday additions to my room, a new coat, some nice shoes, a few birthday cards, i already put the money away.

"i thought you weren't coming" i said to him as i walked to my door to lock it, bringing his attention back to me

"I uh, i thought I'd drop by and say happy birthday." I looked at him, maybe he just wanted to blow off some steam so he came over "thanks, that all you wanted to do?" I asked turning back to him "yes... ill see you tomorrow" he walked back to the window.

Before climbing out, he pointed to my desk, saying "i think you missed a gift" and left

I walked over to it i smiled "did you put this here" i said, knowing he was already gone. It was a small box, just smaller than my hand, it was poorly wrapped in some newspaper.

I tore off the paper opened the small box to see a necklace with a (anything) hung onto it, but it was just the one half of it. It had the letter 'H' ingraved onto the back of it.

"Thank you" i said to no one. I took the necklace out of the box and put it around my neck, smiling at it. I accidentally dropped the box and the sponge holding the necklace fell out, causing a small piece of paper to fall out too.

The paper was poorly folded and very crumpled up, i unfolded it as i put the box onto my desk and saw ugly but readable words.

'I really like you. Be my girlfriend, please'

I smiled

"Yes"

"Great, we can tell the guys tomorrow" i almost pissed myself "oh my god, you're still here?!" "Yeah, i wanted to know the answer" i laughed and hugged him "wheres the other half of this necklace?" I asked, not letting go of him "my keychain" he showed me his keychain and it had the other half on, he turned it over and the first letter of my name was ingraved onto it.

"Do i get more benefits now?" He asked and i laughed "you ruined the moment"
