"how are you so out of breath from blowing balloons?" a voice loudly spoke.
Elizabeth slowly opened her eyes and grabbed her phone from her nightstand.
7:34am.
Voices and banging in her apartment had woken her. Usually she would be concerned but she knew it was her cousin and her friends. It was a tradition they always did.
"Jack stop fucking around." another voice spoke.
"she's gonna wake up soon we have to finish." another loudly spoke.
Elizabeth laughed quietly as she listened in on them all bickering to each other. She scrolled through her phone for a while, answering some birthday messages before rising from her comfortable bed.
She threw a jumper over her head and made sure she looked presentable for everyone. she put her glasses on and opened her door. she made her way down the corridor to her living room.
she could already see the glitter and confetti on the floor. She low-key wasn't impressed as that would take forever to clean up but she let it slide as it was her birthday.
She turned the corner and she smiled at the sight. Balloons and banners were hung up across the room and streamers fell from her curtain rails. She loved it.
She couldn't help but be amused at the fact that Erling was stood in the middle of the room with a party hat on his head holding a birthday cake, waiting for John to take it off him.
"John, are you ready for this yet?" Erling asked him.
"Almost man." John spoke back.
Erling's eyes caught Elizabeth stood in the doorway and he smiled happily at the girl. She couldn't help but smile back at his happy face.
"John I really think you need to hurry up."
"You cant rush perfection Haaland."
Erling coughed, "you can when she's stood in the doorway."
The whole room fell silent and stared at an amused Elizabeth in the doorway.
"before you say anything, place the cake down." Elizabeth spoke, pointing at the cake in Erling's hands.
He placed it down on the table where John instructed him to do so, and they all happily shouted happy birthday at the girl.
Sasha dragged her into the room and sat her down on the sofa. She was surrounded by balloons and Phil handed her a princess tiara which she gladly put on her head.
"you guys really didn't have to do this." she sweetly spoke.
"It's your birthday Liz." Olivia spoke with a smile.
She looked around the room and saw her coffee table was full of gifts and a table had been placed in front of her windows which had plenty of breakfast food and her birthday cake. Her eyes couldn't help but fill with tears, happy tears.
"Are you ok?" Erling asked the girl.
She looked at him and wiped her eyes, "happy tears."
"do you promise that they are?"
"I promise."
