A day to remember

I layed in my bed with my eyes open. I couldn't sleep.. it's been 2 days since Miya and I spoke to eachother.. I could still feel his head on my shoulder.. And even tho I'm glad I know he still cares about me, I do wish to be with him again as soon as possible. But if as soon as possible takes weeks or months, then that's fine too.

I looked at my alarm clock, and it said 4 o'clock in the morning..

Even tho Miya has been all I could think about the last, almost, two weeks, it wasn't the thought of Miya that kept me awake tonight.

Tears formed in my eyes as memories raced through my mind. I could feel my heartbeat fasten. It was exactly a year ago.. and right now was the first time I actually realized why I couldn't sleep on the same day last year..

I was to excited..

Last year, I wanted the next morning to come as soon as possible. I wanted to start unpacking my gifts, and eat my cake. Mom and dad told me they had a big surprise for me.

That's why I couldn't sleep. That's why I went to my parent's room.

Tomorrow is my birthday, the second of october, and exactly a year ago, my parents got.. taken from me..

The day that was supposed to be the best day of the year, became the day I dreaded most for the years to come. Only I hadn't realised it at the time.. I had completely forgotten about my birthday last year.. obviously..

Untill now..

But now that I remember.. it.. I don't even want to think about tomorrow..

It was late enough already. I turned on my side and stared at the wall right next to me. As more images kept appearing in my mind, my eyelids got more tired by the second. After a while of trying, I finally fell asleep..

I suddenly woke up to the sound of people singing happy birthday. I slowly opened my eyes and noticed my bedroom full of people. Well.. now family ofcourse. The twins both climbed on top of my bed, while Reki and his sister were singing. Masae walked foreward to my bed and sat down.

I rubbed my eyes and sat up straight trying to get used to the light. A smile appeared on my face as I noticed Masae holding a birthday cake with 2 candles on it. one in the shape of a number one and the one next to it in the shape of the number 5.

As they finished singing, Masae signalled for me to blow out the candles followed by loud cheering and clapping.

"You really shouldn't have done this", I spoke up happily. "But you deserve it!", Masae said as she put the cake on the desk in my room. "And you know what else you deserve?", Reki suddenly said. I looked at him confused untill he pulled something out from behind his back. "Gifts!", Reki finished. My eyes widened when I saw Reki acrually putting the gift down in front of me. "Everyone has a gift for you, even the twins wanted to get you something", Reki said as he came closer for a hug. I simply nodded and embraced Reki in my arms.

I let go and took the wrapper of the gift Reki had given me.

My eyes widened again, but this time in amazement. "Reki! You must've been looking for this for ages!", I almost shouted lovingly towards Reki. "Yup, been through the whole town three times in a row to find this cd", Reki smiled. I put the cd of my favourite band next to me. "How did you guys even know about my birthday". "Hunter please, noone in our family goes unnoticed on there birthday", Reki replied.

After opening a few more gifts, they stood up and left my room. "I'll be right down! For breakfast!", I said as Reki nodded at me and closed the door. After Reki had closed the door, the smile that was shown on my face quickly changed to a sad one. Tears formed in my eyes again and I started crying.

I didn't want them to know about it because they put so much effort into this day already. I'd hate it if I were to ruïn it.

After around five minutes, I wiped away my tears and got up out of bed. I got dressed and walked out of my room downstairs. I could hear all of their voices. It does make me feel a bit warm inside to know that so many people want to celebrate my birthday..

Maybe they'll show me that this day doesn't have to be a bad one..

As I walked further down the stairs, I could hear a familiar voice. I could suddenly feel my heart beating faster and faster. I turned the corner and there he was.. "miya..", I said looking at him sitting at the breakfast table. I noticed everyone got quiet, yet a smile appeared on Miya's face. "Happy birthday, Hunter", Miya spoke up.

I was at a loss for words. "T.. thank you..", I stuttered still being confused. "Hunter sit down, let's enjoy breakfast!", Masae said as she pointed for me to sit across from Miya.

As everyone started eating, I just kept staring at Miya. He was.. here again..

Oh.. my.. god.. I miss him so much..

I couldn't handle it anymore. I let my silverware fall on my plate ans I started crying uncontrollably. Reki and Masae instantly stood up and walked towards me while Miya was sitting across from me. It was a mixture of everything.

The sadness from my parents death exacly a year ago, the anger at myself for hurting Miya like I did, the happiness of them organizing a birthday for me and now Miya's sitting in front of me, just for me.. even in the situation we're in, he is still there for me!

But no matter what the reason was that I couldn't stop crying, it had something to do with love.. and I'd give anything for it.
