Victoria Mars' POV

"happy birthday!!"

my dad yelled, waking me up with a vanilla cupcake decorated with pink frosting and a lit sparkler on the top

"daddy!"

i yelped, a big smile on my innocent face

he smiled at me, handing me the birthday 'cake' to which i blew out the candle; making a wish

'i wish for me and daddy to be forever together.'

i bit into the cake, feeling sweetness wash over me and waking me up

i giggled as some of the icing got on my nose, my dad snapping a picture of me with his old polaroid camera

my mom came into my room, dressed in her floral blouse and long skirt

she kissed my dad on the cheek before she grabbed my hairbrush, walking towards me

she turned me around as she began to brush through my messy hair so she could place the small silver tiara on my head

i squeaked when i saw myself in the mirror, believing i looked so gorgeous

"dress up!"

my mom nodded, picking out my pink fluffy skirt from out my closet along with my white KISS shirt

she slipped my clothing onto me, then clipping on a cute little pearl necklace we had gotten from the corner store

"so pretty.."

my mom whispered, gently placing her hands on my shoulders

i smiled with my teeth, twirling and giving a curtsey like a true princess

"alright! lets go to waffle house!"

my dad hollered, picking me up and throwing me over his shoulders

my smile was the brightest it had ever been that day, actually feeling an abundance of care.

"vic.. wake up!"

tommy whisper-yelled in my ear, shaking my body

"what?"

i groaned, rubbing my eyes

"your uncles been screaming for you, cmon get up."

he pushed me out of bed, annoying the shit out of me because he made me hit my toe on the corner of the bedframe

i made my way downstairs, throwing my hair into a messy up-do while on the stairwell

i  walked over to my uncle in the kitchen, seeing a whole breakfast buffet and a bunch of messy dishes in the sink
