Betrayed

The birthday present

"If I could take away the pain and put a smile on your face baby I would baby I would...". I smiled, as I heard the song that played the role of my alarm clock. I opened my eyes for the next day of life. It was 5 a.m and I was really tired but I got up to celebrate! I was turning 18 today, and it also happened to be the last day of school. It was only May though, but because I was a senior I got out early!

As I got out of bed and walked to my bathroom I noticed my family was awake, which was unusual because no one in my family was ever awake when I was headed to school, since I got my car. I thought they might be planning some type of surprise. As I brushed my teeth I thought about what they were doing.

Once I had finished, I walked downstairs quietly to spy on my mother, father, and possibly my younger sister, though I wasn't sure about her being awake this early because she was only six. As I approach the living room my mom saw me and yelled "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!" As my sister, and father quickly joined in. A smile creeped on my face and I went to hug them all. My parents handed me an envelope! "What is it mom?" I ask with curiosity. "Open it up, and you'll see!" She quickly replies as her and the rest of my family's face light up. I innocently open the envelope, only to see six tickets to see the one and only JUSTIN BIEBER! "Oh my god, how did you guys get these, and so many?" I stuttered in amazement "I pulled some strings." My father said in a proud voice.

Millions of thoughts raced through my mind as I remembered I had to go get ready for school. I frowned inside and blurted out "Thanks mom, dad, and my adorable little sister Val!" We all gathered around and gave each other a hug, soon me leaving the hug to go get dressed. I took a look at the time and almost fainted at the sight of a 5:30 on my phone. I was so glad I had picked out my outfit the night before and put on some nice skinny jeans and a loose floral top that I had gotten at Nordstrom, which was one of my favorite stores. After about half an hour I was ready and looked at myself in the mirror. Satisfied with how I looked I went to the kitchen only to see my mom had made breakfast. I thought how good this day was going and how it just couldn't get any better. But I spoke to soon, I saw Val running towards me with some car keys, ones I had not seen before. "No way, is this what I think it is!?" I manage to say, with such excitement. "Em, this is your new car." Val shouted at the top of her lungs. I was in disbelief, Justin tickets, a new car! Not to mention it was a BMW. All I could think of is how perfect my life was.

But it was now 6:50, and I needed to run, well, drive to school. As I was approaching the school the traffic intensified. When I parked my new car in the schools parking lot people mobbed me as I tried to get inside. Everyone bombarding me with questions "wow, did your parents give you this for your birthday?" "What model is it?". It felt nice people admiring my car but I really just wanted to tell my best friends that they were gonna go see Justin with me in July.

I ran up the three floors to room 320 and sat next to two of my best friends Danielle, and Maria. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY EMMA!!" They both yelled, as i brushed them of trying to tell them the wonderful news. "Guess what?" I blurt out. "Chicken butt." Maria embarrassingly said as I roll my eyes towards her comment. "No, guys I have some serious new, like you won't be able to wrap your head around it!" I knew because I still thought this all was a dream. It was all to good to be true. "What!" Daniel whisper shouts, our teacher was now taking attendance."My parents got me six tickets to go see Justin!" I say with pride! "No way!" Both of them saying in disbelief. "What row?" Maria asked "first row, and we have M&G!" I quizzically said. Them making a weird face. But they could tell I was being serious, because I don't lie about Justin!

The bell rang and everyone walked out in orderly fashion, excited to see the rest of our friends. I thought about who else I should invite, and decided I would invite Silvia, Gaby, and Ariana. I sat next to Ariana in my first period class, which was calculus. Our teacher had told us we could just talk considering it was the last day of school for us, and we did as we were told. I told Ariana about the tickets, and she seemed really excited, actually more excited than I expected. I brushed it off, and we continued talking, planning our week out and I decided I was gonna have a big party. I planned on inviting everyone, except for this one guy, ugh how much I hated him. His name was Kyle, I had a crush on him in the 9th grade, and somehow he found out. He didn't make fun of me, but he used me like there was no tomorrow. He made me do things I didn't want to do, and he disgusted me now. So, yeah I was defiantly not inviting him. Ariana, and I texted everyone we knew from our grade, which was basically everyone, and some people from the grade below us. The party was gonna be a blast!
