Today is a fabulous day because it's my 17th birthday. Luckily it's a weekend so I don't have school. It was currently 8am and people are already starting to text me happy birthday.

"Happy birthday my little dark cloud" my mom said as she walked into my room. My cat named Blue followed her and jumped on my bed.

(Idk if I ever mentioned she had a cat. Whoops)

"Thanks" she came and laid on the bed next to me.

"Want to go get breakfast?" She asked.

"Sure but I'm not getting all cute" I said.

"Me either" she said. Blue came and rubbed all on my face.

"Hi kitty" I said petting him.

"Alright let's get up" my mom said. We got up and got dressed then went to get breakfast.

"Have you heard from Hayes yet?" She asked once we got seated.

"No not yet" I said.

"Wait really? I'd think he'd be the first one to tell you happy birthday" she said.

"Me too but maybe he's still asleep. I mean it is kinda early" I said.

"Has anyone from the fam texted you?" She asked.

"Nope" I said and she rolled her eyes.

"Don't be sad about that" she said.

"I'm not. If I hear from them I do if I don't I don't."

We ate and conversed a little longer. When we were done we left and went back home.

"Here's your birthday present" she said as she came in the room with a black gift bag. I opened it and it was some clothes, makeup, and gift cards.

"Thank you mom" I said as I hugged her.

"Of course."

It was already 11am and I still haven't heard from Hayes. Which is weird because we text each other when we wake up and he usually wakes up around 8 or 9. 10 at the latest. While I was thinking, my phone went off.

From Hayes🖤: good morning cutie

Wait what? That's it? No happy birthday? Maybe he's half asleep and doesn't realize what day it is.

To Hayes🖤: hey. Me and my mom got breakfast 😋

From Hayes🖤: cool

Okay. Weird. Not that I'm waiting for him to tell me happy birthday but I just think that you'd expect your boyfriend to tell you happy birthday.

Did he really forget it was my birthday? That's kinda rude. Even his mom texted me.

From Hayes🖤: wanna go get dinner tonight at like 6?

To Hayes🖤: sure

The rest of the day consisted of me and my mom hanging out and barely hearing from Hayes. Pretty much everyone in his squad had texted me and told me happy birthday so I'm confused how they know and Hayes forgot.

I started getting ready for dinner which I hope we're still having because I'm hungry as fuck. But I haven't ready heard from him too much today so for all I know those plans could be cancelled.

Lucky around 5:40 he texted me that he was on his way. I quickly finished getting ready then he told me he was here.

"Alright mom I'm off" I said.
