It was Skylar's birthday. Her 16th to be exact.
After begging Lydia not to throw her a sweet 16th party Skylar had to assure her friends that their usual plans were on. From 6 years old and onwards Skylar vowed never to celebrate her birthday, she felt it was unfair to celebrate another year of living when her mother died. Noah brought up the idea of celebrating again last year but luckily for Sky, she turned it down. There would be no way to recover if she had begun celebrating her birthday again only to die just in time for her sixteenth.
The plans were as follows; every year Noah would wake up his daughter with smiley face pancakes and the trio would have breakfast, then Skylar, Stiles, Scott, Brianna and Connor would watch a movie at the theatre ending early in the afternoon, Skylar would then spend the rest of her day in her room sulking until midnight when it would officially be the next day. Then she would come out of her room to be greeted by her brother, father, Melissa and Scott. They would have Chinese takeaway, it was their way of celebrating without actually celebrating. No gifts, no happy birthdays just quality family time.
However, this year was different. Skylar felt conflicted, on July eighth she paced around her room glancing upwards at the clock. In twenty minutes she would be 16 but this year she wouldn't be living, she may be celebrating getting older but she was only one year closer to being stuck at 17 forever.
The vampire huffed deciding to go to bed. She reminded herself why she did it, she forced herself to do all of the activities for friends and family. It was bad enough she didn't celebrate traditionally but if she refused to come out of her room she knew she'd end up hurting her family's feelings. Opening the quilt and slipping under the covers Skylar Stilinski closed her eyes.
Goodbye, 15.

The faint hum of a tv woke Skylar from her sleep. Stiles was awake, nobody else would be watching Star Wars at 10 in the morning...
Rubbing her eyes the Stilinski girl stared at the clock, it was 10 in the morning.
She leapt out of bed tripping on the quilt as she got up landing herself on the floor. The door swung open and a laugh could be heard along with a deep sigh. Feeling two pairs of eyes on her the youngest Stilinski pressed her hands to the floor rising and dusting herself off, "Sup," she greeted them.
