Y/N has to run away from her home, everything she loved was destroyed before her eyes just as she'd receives a mysterious gift from her family. Her only hope is a family friend in Paris, Wang Fu. This is the start of a rocky adventure for our protag...
"HAPPY BIRTHDAYYYY" Is all I hear being screamed down my ear, "mmhmm" is all I manage to murmur out. "Y/N I SAID HAPPY BIRTHDAY" I hear again in a more whiney voice this time. I look up and see my little brother centimetres away from my face. I manage to force a smile, though it was far too early in the morning for it. "Thanks Jamie... Now let me go back to sleep" I say instantly going back under the duvet as he runs away. At this moment I hear more footsteps, I instantly groan knowing I am not going to get to go back to sleep now.
"Ooh Y/N! Come on get up it's your birthday, 18 years old!! Oh, my little girl is growing up so fast" I barely get chance to respond before being smothered in kisses. "Okay Okay, I'll get up if it means you'll stop!" I chuckle. "Good because dad has gone to pick up Grandad, they should be here by lunchtime I reckon, I hear Grandads got you quite a special gift this year." Her smile looked very mischievous as she walked out my room, but it was far too early to try and figure out what she was up to.
I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror... yikes. I think its time for a shower, I've got to make an effort to at least look alive for the day. After I finish doing my usual morning routine, I start to smell mums cooking preparing for people over later, my stomach made a loud growl, and that was my que to rush downstairs to be the 'taste tester'.
"Mmmm mum it smells great in here, any chance I can just grab-"I'm instantly cut off with my hand being swatted away with a spatula. "Don't even think about it, this food is for when everyone gets here, I want everything to be perfect." I raise my eyebrow at her out of confusion "It's only us and grandad, it doesn't need to be so formal, pleaseeee just a little bit?" She sighs knowing she wont win this battle "Fine, you can take some of the egg rolls but nothing else till later, deal?" I grin in triumph "Deal!" I run back upstairs with my skillfully acquired food and start thinking about what to wear, but as I get into my room, I see a box placed on my bed with a large tag reading 'Lots of love from Mum x'.
I have a feeling this is a subtle hint that she wants me to wear this outfit for the day, as I pull away the bow, I pray it's not going to be some frilly little girl's dress. No what am I saying, she knows me better than that of course its not going to be that bad. It's not difficult to choose an outfit for me, black is my go-to colour, it doesn't get much simpler than that.

I knew she'd get it right, I excitedly get myself dressed and do my makeup, a simple nude look and eyeliner. By the time I'm finished I hear dads car pulling up, I rush downstairs to the front door and wrap my grandad in a big hug. "Ahh this can't be my little Y/N, you're far too grown up, so... how's my favourite granddaughter?" I roll my eyes at his comments and break the hug "I'm your only granddaughter!" I laugh. "Well... then you must be the favourite if you're the only one hmm?" My dad inserts himself into the conversation by ushering us into the dining room "Come on now, I don't know about you but I'm starving." Nothing more needed to be said, I darted my way into the dining room seeing Jamie already shovelling food into his mouth.
After getting settled with a plate of food I was made the centre of attention with gifts, stories, mum nearly crying talking about being pregnant with me. By that point I had zoned out until the meal was over, we were then ushered out of the room while mum cleaned up, I ran up to my room to grab my phone to finally have time to respond to any messages. As I open the door I am greeted with a jump scare of grandad already sitting in my room. "Jesus christ you scared me" I breathed out.
