AMARA

A new year isn't about starting something new
It's about leaving the past behind along with the tears
It's about clearing mental space for new adventures

We count down and the fireworks go off all around us creating a beautiful colour filled sky

We party among ourselves enjoying our own company more than being surrounded by sweaty bodys and blasting loud music

Sometimes you just need to be surrounded by the people who love you

~~~~~~~~~

Splash
Ice cold water splashed all over my body, sending me into a state of shock and making me jump out of my bed

"Ethan!!" I scream at him as he laughs his head off falling to the ground

"Happy birthday muffin" He comes over and gives me a hug
"Thanks" I say with gritted teeth

I walk to the shower and change before going downstairs
I run downstairs and then, splash immediately I reach the bottom stair

"Ethan!!" He runs off laughing
Xander comes over laughing at my state but gives me a hug either way
"Happy birthday Freckles"

"Thanks if you'll excuse me I have to change" I run back upstairs
I come down after 10min and find everyone in the kitchen eating breakfast

The cheer and happy birthday wishes go flying around the room
Everyone hugs me but before zoey could, splash

"That's it, I'm going to kill you"
His laugh dead down and his eyes fill with horror 
I grab some OJ and he runs off

I chase him around the kitchen.
Ryan puts out his foot and he stumbles down

"Seriously Ryan" he says
I laugh and poll all the orange juice on him

"Amara this is so sticky" I just laugh at his reaction
"Come on give me a hug" I start to back away shaking my head No
"Come on don't be scared"
I start running around the island with him right behind  me

"Hey watch where you're dripping" zoey yells at us both
We stop and smirk at each other before going over to hug zoey tight

"Nooooo! This is prada" she cries
"Get off me" she sobs
We do so and everyone is laughing at her cry

"If you'll excuse me I have to change.  Again!." I squint my eyes towards Ethan

He looks away from my dagger eyes  sheepishly
Lilith laughs
"I guess no one does birthdays like Ethan"

We both go upstairs since we still share a room
It's crazy how we not together but sleep together and how I still think of Xander when I'm with Ethan
And when I'm with Xander I think of Ethan
I think I may have a problem

He goes to the shower but I just dry myself and change

He goes to the shower but I just dry myself and change
