The Truth Between Us

Chapter 3

•{Her}•

-Rowan Blanc-

I was talking to some people around the party (mostly elderly people). I was looking around if she was here, I know this kind of thing is not her cup of tea but-. She walked in with my sister, I looked at her, her dress that showed off her curves, her hair that swayed with each step she took, her smile, her lips-"Rowan my boy"

I turn to see my father, Fare Blance turning my attention to the people I was talking to before I got distracted... My father is smiling at the guests (to the point you would think that he means it).

My Father isss how to say it, tired of everything. But even though he is tired he still does keep up the show. He is a kind man, but sometimes he is not so kind to the people close to him (or confusing).

He nudged at me "Did you know that my boy is a man now". The man that my dad was talking to looks at me with a surprised look "Really!! How old are you turning". I give the smile of the year and answer "Yeah, I'm turning 18 today". You came to my birthday party (which I didn't even ask for) without knowing it was my birthday party.

My smile widens when I see my mother laughing across the room. Besides my mother's laughter is a girl that gives such a smile that makes my heart ache. She has this smile that could make a person smile without them knowing it (in this situation this person is me). I follow her eyes and see people going out, that's my cue.

I was going to walk out until I got tackled by (oh I know this strong gripe) my bigger brother, Sebastion. I turn around "Mom will get angry if she sees the suit is wrinkly". My brother added, "I guess you just don't need to let her see". My dad notices the situation my brother made and shouts "BOY'S!!" he tilts his head toward the garden. My brother smiles "Here we go!"

-Outside-

The lights in the stadium are bright. My dad is in front of the microphone talking, and my brother and sister are beside me. My mother laughs at something my dad says. I scan the crowd trying to find her, but there she is. There she is with her eyes looking at my dad, then looks over at me. I keep holding her eyes- my brother nudges me "You really need to stop zoning out".

I look over at my dad, he has his arm stretched out towards me. I walk over towards him with my best smile. "Rowan Blanc ladies and gentlemen" my dad shouts to the crowd, and people begin clapping their hands.

"Rowan here is turning 18 today" I smile and look down. WOW, I am hungry when will this be over? I look over where Earth is standing, she is looking up at her mother smiling at her. If I was standing there would she smile at me like that, look up at me with those brown eyes, touch me with her elegant hands....

My dad nudges me "Rowan do you have anything to say to the crowd". I keep my eyes on Earth and answer my dad "Is there much to say but to drive," She turns her head toward me and I hold her eyes "Drink and party". my mom swops in "Not without my permission" She scolds. The crowd laughs out loud.

-After the party-

As people begin walking out, my parents bid their farewells to the guests. I huff, what a day. The fact that most or all the people who came to my birthday party didn't even know that it was my birthday. Makes me just feel so special you know.

Earth catches my eyes while shaking my dad's hand. She begins laughing, did my dad make a good joke? Or is she just faking it?

"Your eyes are glued on her" I look over to my brother that is holding a muffin with a big ass candle behind it right up to my face "HAAAAPPY BIRTHDAY ROWAN". I look at him with a sarcastic smile, adding on a light voice "AWWW, is that my big-best-good-looking-bro", My brother gives me a grin "Emphasis on good looking".
