KAVIA DEI'DREAM BLAKE | 20.

"Happy birthday my baby" I glanced up to see my mom walking up to me planting a kiss on my cheek once she was close enough.

I plastered a fake smile on my face, my dad walking up to me also with my little sister in his hands.

Daijah.

She's so little.

"Happy birthday mi first baby" I laughed softly at his words.

"Thanks dad" My eye moved to my baby sister who was stareing at me.

"Say happy birthday to Sissy" Daddy said to her in a small voice.

She grinned turning away from me then turned back her actions causing a laugh to leave my lips.

"Okay, in a few years you'll be able to say it" I laughed turning my attention to the cake before me.

20th birthday.

I'm 20.

It doesn't feel like much, just an regular day.

A bittersweet smile appeared on my lips my mind wondering back to a year ago.

My babies would've been 2 and 1.

I felt a bile rise in my throat and before I could process anything tears formed in my eyes at the thought.

Over the past year me losing them has been hitting me hard, extremely hard too and I have no idea why.

I mean, I shouldn't care right? Atleast that's what everybody would say.

It was my fault so I shouldn't care.

I didn't even meet them so why does it hurt so bad?

Me seeing and hearing them doesn't make things any better, it only hurts more.

But I'm okay.

I felt warm liquid run down my cheek my trembling fingers going up to wipe them away before anyone noticed.

Today is my birthday, I shouldn't be crying but it's become a norm for me to cry on my birthday.

I turn a year older while they are forever stuck as few weeks old.
