"Happy birthday to you," a woman sang as she held a wide cake with blue icing writing across it saying: 'Happy 7th Birthday.' Along the top it was coated with seven coloured candles, bringing light into the dark room as it was carried from the kitchen to the dining table. "Happy birthday to you," the child at the head of the table wore a party hat, grinning wildly as they eyed the candlelight that beamed off the delicious bake. "Happy birthday to TK-"

"And Kasey," a small girl quietly sang to herself, sitting on the wooden flooring of her bedroom and leaning against the closed door, listening closely to the sound of her mother celebrating her sibling's birthday. In her hands was a small cupcake with a single lit candle in it and her eyes watered slightly as she watched the flame dance cheerfully to the song.

"Happy birthday to you," Kasey and Gwen sang, but both in different rooms and celebrating a different person's birthday.

"Make a wish TK," Gwen whispered, bending down slightly with a grin across her face as she placed her hands on her knees, watching TK and the cake carefully.

"Make a wish Kas," the youngest twin said to herself, imagining as if someone else told her that, that someone else took the interest in her...that someone who wasn't herself was celebrating her birthday too.

Both twins closed their eyes, thinking of something to wish for – one wishing for a toy they always wanted and the other wishing to be loved – before both leaned forwards, lips pressed into an 'o' shape before blowing out their candles – blowing their wish along with the smoke from the candles.

There was clapping coming from the room outside and Kasey hang her head down low, smiling sadly to herself as she nodded, coming to a quick realisation that this was how all of her birthday's was going to go from now, that if she wanted it celebrated it was just going to be by herself...she was starting to realise the lack of people around her, the lack of people who are supposed to care for her...she started to see it all and a singular tear rolled down her slight tinted pink cheek, not liking the thought of being alone forever.
