It's Not the Same

April 7th

April 7th came very quickly, meaning it was Sav's birthday. Savannah wasn't really bothered about it though. Her parents never celebrated it, so she didn't feel like it was important. Ricky on the other hand, was both nervous and excited. They wanted today to be perfect. They'd been planning it for so long.

Ricky got up quite early, wanting to prepare themself. As they got up, Meownique jumped up on the bed and curled up next to Sav whilst purring. Ricky smiled, grabbing a cat hoodie that Sav had given them ages ago, and some jeans, quickly getting changed in the bathroom. 

When Ricky came back into the room, Sav was sat up with Meownique in her lap. She smiled at Ricky as they came back in.

"Hey doll" Ricky walked over to the bed, "Happy birthday"
"Thank you, sweetie" Sav smiled.

It felt odd being told that, but she was glad that had Ricky with her. They were so sweet and caring and she was glad she had them. Ricky had spoken to the choir, and they had agreed that Ricky was taking Sav out on a date before they'd all go back to Constance's and celebrate there. Ricky held their hand out, which Sav took, pulling herself up. Sav went to get changed as Ricky grabbed Sav's presents, placing them in a gift bag and hiding them under their bed.

When Sav came out, Ricky immediately hugged her.

Sav squeaked slightly, "Hey Ricks"
Ricky pulled away, smiling, 'I love you, doll' 
"I love you too"
'Do you think you can eat something this morning?'
"I can try to eat something small." Sav smiled slightly.

The two spent the morning together, mainly cuddling. It was nice though, they both liked it. Soon, the afternoon came, and Ricky was going to start his plan. 

"Hey Sav?" Ricky smiled
"Yes, sweetie?" Sav looked at Ricky.
"Can we go to the park?"
"Sure! Why?" 
"I thought it'd be nice to have a little picnic"
"Sure, why not"
As Sav left the room, Ricky quickly grabbed the gift bag and went to the kitchen, grabbing some food that they'd made the previous day.

They got to the park quite quickly and Ricky set up a little blanket, and placed some food out before looking at Sav.

"Hey Sav, i have something for you" They smiled.
Sav giggled softly, "You know you really don't have to do all this..."
"Well, I wanted to" Ricky handed the giftbag to Savannah.
Sav looked in the bag and her jaw dropped, "Rickyyyy," She looked back up at them.

Ricky just smiled. Sav grinned as she carefully pulled a porcelain doll out of the bag. Its features had all been intricately painted, with curly blonde hair, red lips, and its eyes were dark.

"As Jane you were wearing the dolls head, right? So this is what it would've looked like."
Sav was in complete shock, "You painted this?"
Ricky nodded, "Yeah, it was quite difficult"
"Oh my gosh" Sav had tears in her eyes as she hugged Ricky, "I love it.."
"I'm glad, doll" Ricky smiled.

The two spent around an hour at the park, Sav keeping Dollie with her the entire time. After that, they began to make their way to Connie's house. Sav was happy. This was by far, her best birthday ever.

 
Lacy was not having a good day at all. She had woken up with a migraine, and couldn't think straight. And now her parents were blowing up her phone with calls and messages, after years of no contact. She stared at her phone as it kept going off. Why couldn't they leave her alone. She was sat in the bathroom, pulling at her hair. she was about to do something when she saw she was being called by someone else. 

Gabby.

She immediately picked up.

"Lacy? Are you okay? You never responded to my message." Gabby sounded worried.
"Uhm- I'm sorry- my- my parents keep calling- and-" Lacy was stuttering a lot.
"Hey- It's okay- I'll stay on the phone with you and i'll be there in a few minutes, okay?"
"Okay..."
"What have you been doing today?" Gabby began trying to distract her girlfriend.
"Not much.. I've had a migraine since this morning.."
"Did you take anything for it?"
"No..."
"Okay, go and take something for me, i'm almost there, hun"
"Okay.." Lacy grabbed her phone, making her way down to the kitchen. She grabbed some painkillers out of the cupboard and took two. "I took some painkillers.." She mumbled leaning against the counter.
"Alright, sweetie. I'm here now" She said before hanging up. When she walked up to Lacy, she gently hugged her, "Are you okay?.."
Lacy nodded, frowning as her phone began going off again.
"Can i?" Gabby held her hand out, asking for the phone.
Lacy hesitantly handed it to Gabby. Gabby quickly blocked all the phone numbers, and deleted all the horrible messages before handing it back.

"Thank you, Gabby..." Lacy mumbled
"Of course, now, do you want to go and cuddle?"
"I'd like that.."
