Chapter Twenty Four

I was woken up once again by cold water on my face. It was horrible. I got up straight away and looked at the intruders in my room. It was saturday and they didn't have the right to wake me up so early.

"What the fuck guys. Again? You had to do it agai-" I shouted.

"Happy Birthday lily!" Chris, Connor, Ariana and Meg shouted in union.

"Thanks guys but still this is mean. Really mean of you." I said.

"Sorry lil they convinced me. However you have not taken a bath yet so it doesn't matter." Meg said.

"You have also not." I stated the obvious.

She rolled her eyes and pulled me out of bed. She had already taken out clothes for me, and she shoved them into my hands and pushed me into the washroom.

"Wait what about you?" I asked her.

"I'll get ready in Jo's washroom and these people are waiting downstairs. We're going to the amusement park." She said.

It was weird. A bunch of teenagers going to amusement park but nevertheless I nodded and went into the washroom. I looked through what she had chosen, some were new and still had their tags but the price was scratched out.

She had chosen one of those tops with a low back, and I didnt like wearing them because it kind of displayed my tattoo, I had made after my parents death.

The tattoo was made as an alternative for self harm. It was a bit below neck, beside my left shoulder. It was a kind of abstract design. I never wore low backed tops because of this, I was ashamed of it. Even Meg didn't know about this.

That's why she had brought me this top. It was a really cute one though. It was pinkish in colour and had the print of a white anchor. She knew how much I loved anchors. And she had chosen a pair of my dark blue jeans with it.

I sighed and took my shower. I had to wear it, I'll just wear a white shrug above it to cover my tattoo. My almost black hair was in soft curls covering a bit of my face.

I came out of the washroom, and saw Chris leaning on my desk and staring at me, smirking.

"Hey babe, looking pretty." He said.

I looked at him properly because I hadn't noticed him in my half asleep state earlier. He was wearing a white tee, and light blue jeans. The tee fit him perfectly. His hair was damp, and a bit darker and was as usual messed up. He looked even hotter today. His high cheekbones were being seen and it made him look even more perfect.

"Thanks Chris, you are looking good." I stated.

"Thanks babe." he said.

Then I went around my room to find my white converses, I finally found them.

I walked down the stairs with him. I reached the end of the steps and saw everyone sitting on the couch. Jo wasn't going, he probably was sleeping.

Meg got up, she was looking pretty. Her brown hair was straitened, she was wearing a green sleevless top, with FOOD written on it. Matching those she wore black faded denims. Her light brown eyes looked at me and she smiled.

"Lil..." she frowned, "Why did you wear this?" she asked pointing to the shrug.

"Because I like it. And thanks I love the top." I said.

Meg looked at me suspiciously but then went out of the door with the others. Chris' yellow Porsche was parked in front of my house. I gaped at it, it was beautiful. I wanted to drive it.

I looked at Chris who was standing beside me.

"Please." I said making my best possible innocent puppy dog face.

"What?" Chris said, but then realized what I was asking for. "No way in hell."

"Aw c'mon its my birthday! Its not like I will ruin it. Please? Pretty please? Pretty please with icing?" I rambled looking innocently at him.

He sighed, and passed me the keys, "Please don't destroy it."

"Yes! Yes! Thank you! God I love you!" I said jumping up and down and hugging him.

Then I ran inside the house, took a bouquet of flowers and ran back out.

I entered the car, it smelled like Chris. It basically smelled amazing. Chris was already inside and Meg, Ariana and Connor were at the back.

"Why have you bought flowers? To wish yourself?" Chris commented.

"No I gotta visit the grave before we go, so can we go there on the way?" I said. My brother would be going to the grave today with Mia and since I had plans I planned to go before them.

Hmm...Mia hadn't wished me nor had Alex, well they both were asleep so not their fault.

"Um ya Ok sure." Chris said looking guilty.

I looked back at my three besties, they all knew my parents were dead but Ariana and Connor didn't know everything. Infact they only knew that they were dead.

"Um guys I hope you don't have a problem to wait for a few minutes?" I asked them.

All of them shook their head.

"How is it that Chris let you drive his car?" Connor asked.

I looked at Chris with a grin, "Oh he just loves me."

Chris rolled his eyes and Connor started laughing.

"Wait do you have a license?" Chris asked me all of a sudden.

"Ya? How do you think I was driving Mia's car that day?" I said in a 'duh' tone.

Then I started to drive, god this car was amazing. It was like I was flying in the air. No scratch that I was exaggerating, but ya it was cool.

We drove silently, except the three talking at the back. Their conversation was the stupidest I had ever heard. They were fighting over an advertisement sign. So I turned on the radio. Ed Sheeran's track started playing.

Give a little time to me, to burn this out.
We'll play hide and seek, to turn this around.
All I want is the taste that your lips allow.

I started singing with the radio. Basically, I started ruining the song. Because you know I was not a great singer.

This song somehow reminded me of my parents, and however I was going to their grave right now.

I could feel Chris' gaze on me as I continued to sing and get lost between the notes of the song.
