As Rocky reminded us of the presents, Ross rushed out of the sitting room probably to go get my gift.
I started wondering about what it was, quickly running through the past days to see if any hint was ever dropped. I stated in my head that there wasn't any.
" So, Hailie " started Riker, " sixteen years old, uh? That's a big deal ". Rydel nodded and continued, " And we need to celebrate, don't we? We already had the party but we think you should have a more. . . concrete gift " she said smirking.
" I think you'll like this " teased Rocky, smirking, too.
" Alright guys, you ready? " Asked Ross from another room. We all yelled a 'yes' in response and he came in the sitting room holding my gift.
It was an extremely pretty guitar case; it was all glossy black with my name written on it with all the colours of the rainbow.
All I could say was a whispered ' woah ' as the guitar case was laid in front of me, gently rested on the floor where we were all sitting.
I opened the case feeling everyone's eyes on me : yep, my gift was a guitar. Actually it was the guitar, precisely a Gibson Les Paul, aka the guitar that I had always dreamt of but that was way too expensive for me. I remembered that Connor once wanted one, but the cheapest was sold at, like, 2000 dollars.
"It is.... beautiful. . . You really shouldn't have, it's very expensive " I murmured lightly stroking my new guitar.
" You deserve it, Hailie. You're really good at playing and we figured out you needed a ' serious ' guitar to practise "
" Thank you, it's amazing". I then regained a bit of self control and giggled,
" Sorry, I'm just literally speechless "
" Ahahah it's all right, I was like that when I got my first one, too" said Rocky.
" Try it out! " Cheered impatiently Rydel, who had been smiling the whole time.
I nodded and quickly connected the wire to the amplifier that Ross had carried in the sitting room along with the guitar.
I started playing the beginning of ' Ready, Set, Rock! ' because I personally think the beat is really catchy.
It soon turned out to be more of a jam session, for Riker started singing and the others joined a few lines after .
We stopped halfway through the song because we bursted out laughing: Ross had let out a burp.
"Guys it's natural!" He defended himself, which made us only laugh harder.
" If you have to burp at least do it right! " Joked Rocky and, before anyone could stop him, he let out another loud burp.
"This was a proper one" Exclaimed him satisfied
My stomach was hurting from all the laughing already and this didn't help stopping me from laughing my aşs off.
"A-alri-ight guys s-stop" stuttered Rydel between laughs.
After we had calmed down, we decided to go to sleep because it was almost 3am and we were exhausted.
I was putting my phone to charge during the night, when I noticed I had a text.Mickey:
'I still have to give you your present. Tomorrow at the hill sounds good?'
'Sounds perfect to me.
PS. Sorry for the late reply'
He answered straight away, surprising me.
'Alright, pick you up at 11am and have lunch together maybe?
PS. No probs hun'
'Amazing plan, Clifford
PS. I'm gonna sleep now, I'm tired af'
'Thanks babe
PS. Goodnighttt'
'Night :)'I locked my phone and finally went to sleep. The bed seemed even more confortable than usual since I was deadly tired from the amazing surprise party.
My new guitar was now resting right beside my desk, next to the old guitar Connor had given me.
Last thing I remembered thinking was,
'Where are you Connor?'
