Save Me

Ch. 33 - "You're gonna have the best birthday ever."

The rest of the week passed slowly, mainly because I was looking forward to one thing - my birthday. I was determined to have a better birthday than the previous years. Now that I had Justin and I was away from my dad, I hoped it was going to be better.

So when I woke up this morning, wich also happened to be my birthday and a Friday, I had a smile on my face. Although the previous week had been a hard one for me, Justin and Lauren were there for me, helping me get through. I honestly had no idea what I would do without either of them.

I jumped out of bed, grabbing the outift I had picked out last night to wear today. I had picked out a pair of jeans and my favorite purple tank top, along with a necklace to go along with it. I hopped in the shower and finished the rest of my daily routine; curling my hair, doing my makeup, and everything else.

The second I stepped downstairs, someone tackled me from behind, causing both of us to fall over on the ground. It took my a couple seconds, but I finally realized that Lauren was the one who was currently on top of me.

"Get the hell off of me!" I yelled, pushing her off of my legs that were currently in pain.

"Happy birthday!" She squealed, attacking me with a hug.

"Thanks," I mumbled, hoping she didn't ruin my appearance, which by the way took almost an hour. "You had to tackle me just to tell me that?"

"Yup," She smiled, before looking down at what I was wearing. "Aww you look cute on your birthday. I'm sure Justin won't be able to resist you i that."

"Shut up," I replied as I felt my cheeks turn red.

"Well.." She trailed off, a smile forming at the corner of her lips. "It is your birthday.."

I rolled my eyes. "Stop," said, as soon as I heard Lauren start humming to the tune of the song 'Birthday Sex'. "Seriously stop Lauren! Your embarrassing me."

"I forgot to give you your spankings! Your 18 oh my gosh! That means your legal," She winked, causing me to roll my eyes again.

"Your such a perv," I replied.

She shrugged. "I'm sure Justin would-"

"I would what?" A familiar voice interrupted us, one that I recgonized as Justin's. I snapped my head into his direction, only to find his eyes locked right on mine.

"Nothing," I mumbled, pushing myself up off the floor. Justin kept his eyes on me, a smile forming at the corner of his lips.

"Happy birthday baby," He said as I walked towards him. He wrapped his arms around me before pressing his lips against mine.

"Gross," I heard Lauren say as she got up, walking into the living room.

"You look beautiful today, by the way," Justin commented, giving me one more peck on the lips.

"Thanks," I felt my cheeks turn red as I smiled at Justin.

"I'm gonna make sure you have the best birthday ever," Justin stated while taking my hands and intertwining our fingers.

"And how are you gonna do that?" I smirked as I swung our hands back and forth.

"You'll see," He winked.

The rest of the day passed, slowly but surely. During school I couldn't really focus, I was still wondering how Justin was going to make this "the best birthday ever". I knew he had something planned for tonight, and I spent the majority of the day wondering about it.

I had a few random people wish me a happy birthday throughout the day, although I mainly only hung out with Justin and Lauren, and sadly, that meant Nick also. He wasn't that bad anymore, I just could never forgive him for what he did to me. He was actually starting to seem like a pretty good guy, although I would never admit that to Justin.
