It's April 9th today also my birthday.

I get up with a smile on my face and get ready for the day. Today I felt pretty so I put on a white sundress with blue flowers on it. I went downstairs and saw no one. I just shrugged it off and made breakfast for myself.

Since it's my birthday I can make an exception for today and eat waffles.

While eating I check my phone. I get a lot of notification from my 'fans' who follows our website, a few from aunts, uncles and cousins. One from mom and one from Jess. I open my mom's first.

Mom<3: Happy Birthday sweetie! I hope you have an amazing day. Visit us as soon as you can. We love you<3

Me: Thanks mom. I will, love you too.

Next I open Jessica's.

Jess: Happy Birthday! You better come to work cuz' I have an amazing gift for you

Me: thank you Jess. Unfortunately I am coming to work

I look through the other searching for Jake's since he wasn't home when I woke up. I find nothing.

Oh.

He must be busy. It's okay. He still have the whole day ahead of him. I clean the house, listen to music and read. I announce, I hate Ryle. I look at the time and it's already 4pm.

I woke up a little late. More specifically at 12 o'clock.

It had been a week since our trip and I have been working nonstop. What money Jake makes he spends it on drinks and other stuff that I don't know. So that leaves me to pay for our things.

I wait a few more hours and after four hours, there's still nothing about Jake. I start to get ready for work and head out once I'm done. I drive while singing and try to forget about a certain someone who's name starts with a J and ends with ake, has blond hair and so blue eyes that it's almost see through that you can see the emptiness behind them.

I get out and walk in the bar. The people who passes by wishes me happy birthday. Jess is at her usual spot, behind the counter. "Happy Birthday!" She screams as soon as I get there.
I thank her and sit down on one of the bar stools.

"So what did whatever his name get?" She asks while mixing a few drinks for the night. "Nothing yet. He wasn't home." I tell her awkwardly. "What? Where is he?"

"He's probably at work." I lie while shrugging.

"Working for more than eight hours for such a little payment?" Another voice speaks and I find Ares standing there, leaning on a wall with his arms crossed over his chest.

"I woke up late so he might have left just before I woke up." I say directly to him.

"Alright, whatever helps you sleep at night." He starts to walk away, but stops a few meters away from me. "By the way, happy birthday." And walks away.
