Okay Guys i think this story is really starting to go forward but im not sure where to take it after this chapter but i will see if you have any ideas once you've read it please message me :) ily all my readers. 

Me and Reece get up early the next morning so we can make Emily her favourite breakfast of pancakes with maple syrup and then bacon and tomato ketchup she can't have them together because she has to have bacon with ketchup but she doesn't like pancakes with ketchup, so Reece gets on with the bacon while i start doing home made pancakes, she likes the shop ones but she prefers home made. Charlotte comes down just as were putting it all on plates,
"ah kids this is so nice she's going to love you two even more than she already does"
"ok ill take it right up Charlotte"
"thank you Mandy"

When i make my way upstairs i think Grace and the rest of them are still asleep, i knock three times on her door and step in,
"where's the birthday girly"
"here I'm here"
"happy birthday to you happy birthday to you happy birthday to Emily happy birthday to you"
"thank you thank you thank you"
"look what I've brought you"
"ooh what"
"I've got home made pancakes with maple syrup your favourite brand, and then bacon and tomato ketchup"
"mmm my favourite"
"ok then hunnie when your finished just shout and I'll bring the tray back down for you"
I kiss her fore head and walk back downstairs.

I get some alpen and sit at the kitchen island Reece comes and sits opposite me with toast and peanut butter,
"Reece what do you think Toby would do if i didn't go tonight"
"are you joking he'd probably kill you and everyone you love which hm hm is me"
"your joking right he wouldn't do that"
"Mandy he's just come out of prison and that was only for good behaviour"
"exactly good behaviour"
"Mandy please i don't want you getting hurt"
"i wont but what if i call him and ask"
"okay but if he says he wants you there then you have to go promise"
"promise"

I go to my room to get my phone
Rrrrriiiiinnnngggg rrrrriiiiinnnnggg
"uh hello"
"hi Toby it's Mandy"
"oh hi Mandy looking forward to tonight"
"hmm yeah about that"
"what is it you better not be bailing cause god help me"
"why what will you do"
"well i can always threaten your darling boyfriend"
"no- no don't do that"
"okay then I'll expect to see you at the mall at 4"
"okay fine"
"well uh it's just because its Emily's birthday and i said I'd be there until 5 can i come then"
"okay but you will need to put the time to another time"
"when"
"hmm well i have a bit of a problem tomorrow, i have sorta accidently planned a date but one of my mates is 3rd wheeling"
"Toby i have a boyfriend"
"i know"
"so I'm not going on a double date without my boyfriend"
"oh no i don't need that i need you to make plans with Alex"
"ill just tell her what's happening"
"ah here's the catch you cant tell her and if you do- well if you do i'd be very very scared i cant have Alex thinking the worst of me can i now"
"no"
"i didn't think so well bye  I'll see you tonight"
"bye"

I head back downstairs to Reece, he's cuddling with Emily when she sees me come in she jumps of him and comes running to me,
"ha we can see who the new favourite is now"
"come on Emily we need to go "

I keep her in my arms and carry her out to the car,
"hey i shouldn't be carrying you anymore your a big girl now, how old are you now 3,4"
"noo"
"5"
"noo"
"7,8"
"I AM 6"
"oh that's it your 6, 6 that's it"

Emily, Reece and i are all in Reece's car Emily's presents in the back, Reece's parents are in their car with the food, the drive is loud with laughter and music, Reece's singing is more like a squawking parrot rather than actual singing, Emily has her earphones in now and is watching tangled i think so now i have my chance to talk to Reece about Tyler. I think he has the same idea.

"okay Mandy what happened on the phone with Tyler and don't leave anything out"
"uh ok so i told him about the party and he said to go straight after it finishes and because that's at 5 and I'm meant to be there at 4 he said I'd just have to add it on to some other time"
"ugh god im so so sorry for putting you through this i just dont want you to get hurt"
"Reece i can handle myself sweetie don't worry"
"okay so when do you add it on to"
"well it's tomorrow at lunch Toby double booked with Alex and a mate of his"
"Mandy he's not asking you to double date is he"
"no i said i wouldn't do that too you i love you too much"
"okay so what do you do"
"keep Alex company for the day"
"um babe she hates you"
"tell me about it"
"soo"
"well im going to call her and uh well guess ill have to make up"
"Mandy saying sorry that'll be the day the world stops spinning"
"shut up im lovely"
"i know sweetie"
