ONE SHOT CONTEST!!!

Yay one shot (hope im doing this right)

Farren's POV

Only 2 more days until the 4th of July, and I feel as if I'm going to burst with happiness.

My mother was invited to a house party hosted by her sister, and she let me have the decision of choosing: going to the house party with her, or staying at home with Hunter (and Blake).

I chose Blake.

Me and Lilith have been meeting up for the past couple of days to make sure that the four of us have the best 4th of July ever!

We got a small cake, sparklers, poppers, confetti, ice cream, mini American flags, American flag capes, and a blanket: so we can sit and watch the fireworks.

We decided that we would stay at my place, since it was convenient for all of us, and we had a good view of the fireworks, too.

I remember at exactly 12 midnight, Hunter calling me (even though he was in the other room) "Happy 4th of July Farren!"

I laugh "I'm literally next door to you why couldn't you come yourself?"

I hear Hunter make a 'pfft' noise. "Farren do you even know me? Besides, I got into this really comfortable position and I don't want to ruin it"

I snort at his reply "Oh please. Besides, aren't you going to call Lilith? She's probably waiting for your call"
Hunter goes quiet.
All of a sudden the line goes dead. Hunter hung up on me.

I roll my eyes. Typical.

I fall asleep to the sound of Hunter begging Lilith "I know I called at 12:03 but it's still the 4th of July, just later... Lilith, PLEASE FORGIVE ME..."

***

I wake up to the sound of knocking, and Hunter yelling "GET THE DOOR, FARREN"

I yell "lazy!" back at Hunter before I go downstairs. When I open the door I see Blake, wearing a goofy Uncle Sam hat. "Happy 4th of July, love" he signs, and the hat tips over his eyes.

I laugh, then drag him inside. "Happy 4th of July to you too!"

Lilith arrives an hour later, and after ignoring Hunter for 5 minutes ("Lilith, I'm sorry for not calling you at midnight") she surprises him and kisses him on the nose, making Hunter turn bright red.

***
Everything is perfect: all of us are wearing something silly for the holiday: Hunter has a founding fathers wig, Blake has that Uncle Sam hat from earlier, Lilith has an American flag cape, and I have a headband with flags and mini sparklers.

We spend the time before sunset pigging out on ice cream, logging on to tumblr and laughing at all the funny 4th of July posts, making our own parade (which ends with Hunter, an American flag stuck to his cane, and a knocked over table) and telling funny stories of each other.

We cut the cake at exactly sunset, and we each enjoy our slices while we wait for the fireworks to begin. We light up our sparklers, and throw our poppers, trying to scare each other. All of a sudden, I hear a BOOM.

The first fireworks!

Lilith groans, and Blake makes a face. "We can't even see them from here, that tree is blocking our way"

Sure enough, there's a giant tree blocking our view.

After translating to Lilith and Hunter, Hunter's face curves into a devilish smile. "I bet you guys are too scared to go on the roof to see the fireworks"

"Is that a challenge?" Lilith remarks

"Why yes: it is" Hunter said, his grin only getting bigger.

We got the ladder, and propped it against the house. Blake went first, and he laid the blanket we got across the roof so we wouldn't get uncomfortable.

Hunter went up next, and with the help of Blake, managed not falling off the roof and to getting onto the blanket without injuries.

Lilith went next, and brought the sparklers with her. She immediately snuggled next to Hunter, and Hunter grinned in her direction.

I went last, and I crawled over Lilith and Hunter to get to Blake.

Blake takes my hand and kisses it, bringing me closer to him. He signs "I love you"

I look at him in the eyes, and sign back "I love you too"

I hear Lilith describing the fireworks to Hunter, but I don't pay attention to that. I pay attention to Blake. Our hands intertwined. That smile on his face whenever we tell each other "I love you" And I can't help thinking how lucky it was that Blake moved in next door.

(Ok that was really cheesy and romantic but I liked it! Idk I feel like I messed up somewhere but it's like 1am, don't blame me. Hope you like it Kate! ^.^) (also I had to look 3 times to make sure I spelt the hashtag correctly and I'm still not sure .-.)(also the cover is such crap but Idgaf: deal with it)
