I thought birthdays were overrated and I always had, because who in their right mind would want to celebrate the day they were unwillingly brought onto earth to wake up, go to school or work, eat, sleep and repeat?. Who in their right mind would want to go day in and out with so much trauma on their back all because their parents decided to fuck for fun?. But, Plans were plans and they had been made within minutes. We were to go back to Steve's house (because where else would we go at the age of nineteen?.) and they would get drunk whilst I would stick to my one beer that I didn't even really want anymore.

Luckily for me, Steve's parents were gone, again, and it meant that I could invite a few people round to celebrate my aging with me. Not that I wanted to celebrate the day, but instead spend time with my friends together for the first time in a while and just enjoy the memories we were bound to make. However, Eddie wasn't happy with me drinking and he made that very clear in Steve's bedroom when he called me 'a liability' and 'a complete mess'. It hurt to hear Eddie so angry with me, and I was starting to understand what was happening.

He was falling out of love with me because he didn't trust me anymore. He was making me chose him over my friends and I had no clue which pill to chose. Take the red; I lose Steve, Billy, Kathleen, Robin and the kids but get to stay with Eddie until one of us leaves this wicked world. Take the blue pill; chose those fuck up friends of mine I loved so much and leave Eddie in the dirt to decay. Pretty impossible choices, right?. I couldn't decide and I didn't want to, but whatever was going on between me and Eddie wasn't healthy and it wasn't fucking good. It needed to stop and I knew of only one way to make it stop, but I would never do that again. I'd never betray myself like that in any other lifetime.
I tried not to think about him too much for the rest of the night, but it was so hard when he looked that good.

Due to my birthday being a little past Easter, we all decided to dress up for the holiday which was mainly just everybody in some sort of shit, cheap bunny outfit from the costume shop across from Melvalds. They were cute, regardless, and seeing Steve try to give a sexy strip tease to Kathleen was a highlight of my night.

It wasn't sensual at all.

"Get your sweaty body away from me, Steve." Kathleen pulled a look of disgust and shoved his chest away from her. Steve stopped with a laugh and turned away, picking his bottle up from the coffee table and taking a swig. "It profounds me how much you sweat." She snorted and leant back into the couch, her face covered by an expression of disgust; I couldn't decipher whether it was genuine or not.

"Shut up." Steve smirked at her from his standing position.

"We should've done a Easter hunt!." Robin said through the indistinctive chatter amongst us. I cocked an eyebrow at the girl who was slightly bouncing in her seat. "You know!. With all the chocolate eggs and first person to find as many gets this." Her eyes illuminated her face as she sat besides Kathleen and Paige.

"You could've said this four hours ago, Robin." Steve rolled his eyes with a grunt. "Where are we getting chocolate eggs from at-"Steve looked down to his watch. "Ten thirty at night?." His attention was back on the girl.

"Who said it had to be chocolate eggs?." Kathleen piped up from in between the pair.

"What else is exciting enough for us all to go hunting for it?." Billy asked and I felt Eddie's body tense up besides mine at the sound of the boys voice. He really needed to get a grip.
