surprise

31ST MAY 2020

Demi pov:

Today was the day Sydney had bounced back to her normal self and she had been going to work and was performing at any live show that she could make it to. It was the right time, it was a week before her birthday and I could pass this off as an early birthday party considering she was at work on her birthday. I had the ring and I found a beautiful Victorian style mansion to host this party in. Sydney had always loved theatrics, especially Victorian masquerades, so when I found this venue I knew what I had to do. I had been organising the food station while Gia and Bianca were decorating the walls with flower buntings and hanging bouquets. I had asked trav to hang out with Sydney all day and act confused when this date began to unravel.

Syd pov:

I was sat in my living room with Trav when the doorbell sounded and neither of us knew what it was. I checked the peephole to find no one stood in eye view so I opened the door and found nothing there, except a wax sealed envelope on the floor. I opened it and read through the letter.

Here marks the surprise of your life. You confused yet? Just follow these instructions and I promise you, you will have the time of your life. Firstly, Go to the place you passed out in trying to prepare for wrestlemania.

I had no idea what she was up to, and judging by the look on travs face, neither did he. "It's from Demi, I wonder what she's up to today" I said with a smile, taking one last look of the note before grabbing my keys. I headed down to the garage with trav following close behind; eager to figure out what was going on. when I arrived at the gym I watched Nick as his face lit up and he reached under his desk; pulling out a box that had been wrapped in a black fabric and tied together with blue ribbon, He also pulled out a second box and handed it to trav. "Hang onto them, you'll need them later" he said with a smile before sliding another envelope over to me. 

well done, you can follow instructions! we've had happy times, sad times and pretty tough times, but we know that we can go here for a moment of lyrical bliss...

The wording of this note gave away my next location, the studio. So, after thanking Nick for whatever he had given me I got back in my car and drove to the studio; heading directly up into my dads office. there lay a note on the table, and I kinda hoped that all of this driving would be over soon. I picked up the letter and began to read.

believe it or not, Izzy helped pull this surprise together and I wish she was here to see it happen, but you are so nearly done with this, I promise this is worth it. Izzy may have left something in her room btw...

-D 

I smiled at the thought of my late best friend plotting this surprise and I knew that I had to go to my travs place; he hadn't cleared Izzy's room out yet so I knew that something would be there, so once again I grabbed my keys and went to travs apartment complex, heading straight into Izzy's room to find an envelope and another box on her bed. I opened the letter and read it. 

so so so super close now I promise! You can open your boxes now but I don't recommend taking anything out yet just to save you some trouble! I need you to go to Oliver's house to get ready. Just to let you know, trav knew about al of this the entire time, he's gonna get himself ready now ;)

-D

"you Knew!" I shouted playfully slapping my  friend as they smiled at me. "I might've been in on it, but trust me, it's worth it. I gotta get ready" they replied with a smile and a brief hug before leaving the room. I opened the boxes and found a dress and a masquerade mask and I knew where this was going now. I closed the boxes and headed over to my brother's house where Monica, already dressed in an emerald gown answered the door and invited me inside. Oli was sat with a babysitter and Marcy rested on his knees; he was dressed in an old Victorian suit and both Monica and Oli were wearing masks. I sat down and Monica worked on my makeup "so do you know why she's hosting a party for me?" I asked as Monica applied the finishing touches to my makeup. she shrugged "early birthday gift maybe" I knew she knew more but she wasn't the type to crack. I got changed and pinned my hair back in a half-up half-down bun so that I could hide the ribbon of the mask.
