"Don't do that again". His voice changes. It's serious & demanding.
"Or what". I decide to test him. What is he gonna do throw me out of his club. Big deal.
He leans closer to my ear "Or I'll spank your ass until it's blue". I get goosebumps. He wo...
Storm "Wake up bitch, it's your 21 birthday". I wake up to Aurora jumping on my bed making me stir in my bed.
Ever since I lost my parents I never liked celebrating my birthday, without them I just feel empty. I went from having everything to nothing in just a single second.
After my parents died I went to foster care because the police said they couldn't find my other family. I was 7 and had no control over anything. Being sent to home to home was exhausting and sad, up until I met Aurora in a group home at 16. Ever since we have been best friends, she helped me and I will forever be thankful.
I know she just wants me to be happy but I could care less about my birthday, it's just another reminder that the people I have to thank for my existence are dead.
"Aurora im trying to sleep". I say with my groggy voice.
"I don't give a damn, it's your 21st and we're going to a club. First we need to go to the mall and you love the mall so get up". She's right I do love the mall, it's one of the things that makes me feel better.
"Fine bitch". I chuckle and bring myself out of bed. As soon as I get up Aurora jumps off the bed and pulls me in for a hug.
I'm shocked because I literally just stood up.
She wraps her arms around me and pulls me in for a nice long hug. "Happy birthday Stormy. I know you don't like celebrating but you deserve it more than anyone I know, your parents would want you too. Remember what they told you before they died, remember that because it's true. I love you Stormy". I drop a tear after she finishes her last sentence. I wrap my arms around her and squeeze her tightly.
"Thank you for being my best friend, I love you". She squeezes me back. "Anytime". I chuckle and pull from the hug.
"Enough with the emotions let's go get ready for the mall bitch". She pulls me to her room and we get ready.
Aurora is right about what she said in her speech. I deserve this and my parents would want me to. So I'm gonna do this for them. What my parents told me before they died sticks in my head, I will never forget it. Those words mean everything to me and it's part of what keeps me going, and with that I'm gonna make this day count. For them.
After Aurora gets done dragging me into her room, she pulls us straight to her closet.
Me and her live in a nice 2 bed 1 bathroom in LA. Seeing that we were in foster care we had to build ourselves back up, including having money.
