Fixing What Fell Apart

Birthday Girl

"They love the way I walk
'Cause I walk with a vengeance
And they listen to me when I talk
'Cause I ain't pretendin'
It took a while, now I understand
Just where I'm going
I know the world and I know who I am
It's 'bout time I show it
I'm a grown woman (grown woman)
I can do whatever I want (I can do whatever I want)
I'm a grown woman (grown woman)
I can do whatever I want (I can do whatever I want)" Beyoncé~Grown Woman

"Happy Birthday!!!" Jaylen, Kenya and Makayla yelled as the jumped on my bed. I sat up and rubbed the sleep outta my eyes.

"Come on everyone's downstairs already get dressed and come on I'll get Jaylen dressed." I nodded and got up.

24 I thought to myself. I shook my head as a slideshow of my life went on in my head as I picked out my clothes. The shit I've been through I thought.

For now I settled on a black and white shirt that I was gonna wear as a dress. I got out my Micheal kors flip flops and went into the math room. After taking a shower and doing my hygiene I put on my clothes and Combed through my red hair that I loved. I looked in the mirror and smiled before putting on some silver hoops and a silver bracelet.

I walked downstairs and my eyes widened at the many bags on the table.

It was Me, Kenya, Jaylen, Cole, Her grandparents, her sister, her parents and her brother, Ronnie and Marcus. We were all sitting on the couch until we heard a creak on the stairs making us turn our heads. My eyes widened at Journey and her red hair. She looked sexy as fuck and I had to restrain myself from running and kissing her right there. Her eyes landed on the bags and I saw the surprise in her eyes. I had decided to get her 2 pairs of red bottoms that were similar to two that I had, a pandora bracelet since she loved those a necklace that had a J and she didn't know but I brought it to mean Javon. I got her a bunch of clothes undergarments and perfume from Victoria secret and a bracelet that said "If I live a thousand lifetimes you will still be my one, my only, my true love" which was engraved on the inside. I had also gotten another gift but I would show her that later.

"Aw thanks you guys." She play pouted as she ran her hands across her gifts.

"Well before we eat the breakfast we made gon and open your gifts." She smiled and nodded as she began opening and going through bags. When she was done she smiled at everyone.

"Thank yall for real this means a lot. And Nicki your so ghetto for getting me bundles." We all laughed and said your welcome.

"Oh it's more." Demarco said. We all looked at him confused.

"Oh really? From who."

"Mod" he said causing me to sigh and rub my hands down my face.

"Oh well what is it."

He took out a large bag and a Micheal Kor's purse.

She looked through  bag and pulled out a Chanel sweatsuit and her eyes looked up.

"This is so cute." She said to herself and then brought her attention to the purse.

She looked inside and pulled out a box and she looked at Demarco but he only shrugged. She opened it and it was an expensive looking rope chain.

"Damn I gotta remember to call him and thank him he did a girl right." I just rolled my eyes and sighed.

"Baby we got something for you too." Mom and Phillips said as I put Amod's gifts away.

"I was wondering where yall gift was at." I said making everyone laugh.

"Where is it." I said looking around the room.

"Come outside." Phillip said grabbing my arms and pulling me off the couch.

Even though Phillip wasn't my real dad and I was grown , I still needed a father figure. Your never to old to have that type of father and daughter bond.

He led me outside and my eyes popped opened when I seen what was before me. A sexy ass Ashton Martin sat in the drive way glistening.

"Mommmmyyyy" I pouted as I walked to the car.

"I have a car already you didn't have to"

"We wanted to and you can have two do some big things."Phillip said making everyone laugh.

"Thank you mommy thanks pops." I said hugging them.

Today couldn't get any better.

We were all about to go back into the house when a car pulled up and out hopped Blake.

She had a bag in hand and a large object wrapped in a blanket.

"Happy birthday." She genuinely smiled handing me the things paying no attention to Kenya and Cole who were staring her down.

"Uhh thanks." I said grabbing them and giving her an awkward side hug.

"Open it." I smiled and nodded as I took the cloth from over the large square object. I gasped one I saw it. It was a large painted photo of me and it was beautiful.

"Aww Blakey thanks."

"You haven't called me that in forever." She looked down.

"I missed you." She said smiling.

"I missed you more." I said placing the picture against the house and hugging her.

She pulled away and looked at my other bag.

"Open that one too."

I did as told and it was a pair of yellow heels that were gorgeous.

"Thank you Blake I appreciate it...and since I'm assuming we're cool do you wanna go out with us tonight?" She shook her head.

"I just came because I felt like I owed it to you for the way I been treating you and for how I acted at your baby shower so I'm sorry and I know you didn't deserve to find out that way so I just want us to be like we were." I nodded.

"Well I'll see yall later, bye Cole, bye Kenya." She said cutting her eyes at them.

I turned around and faced everyone.

"Let's eat" I clasped my hands together grabbing my gifts and walking into the house.

"Ne can I holla at you real quick." I said as I pushed my plate away from me. She nodded and did the same before getting up.

I followed her outside and she leaned against the wall.

"Wassup?" She said smiling that smile that I loved.

"So I got something that I wanted you to see."

"And what is this exactly?" She chuckled.

"And what is that exactly?" I said chuckling.

He turned around and pulled his shirt over his head revealing a tattoo. I was about to laugh until I realized what it was. I inched closer to him and traced the tattoo that was Jayden's name and footprints.

"It's beautiful." I said as my voice shook. He threw on his shirt and turned around.

"I'm glad you like it."

"I love it." I said throwing my arms around his neck and beginning to cry.

"Damn man don't cry on your birthday."

"I'm sorry but I'm so happy right now." I said against his neck. He rubbed my back slowly calming me down. I pulled away and smiled at him.

"So you gonna take me to get mine." I said attempting to brighten the mood.

"If that's what you want." I nodded and smiled.

"Cool. But come on." He said grabbing my hand and pulling me into the house.
