Unforgettable Birthday - Wesley Stromberg

A loud buzzing began to ring in my ears, causing me to lightly squint over at the alarm clock resting on the side table. It read 8 am. ‘Who the fuck set an alarm to wake me up this early!?’ you thought to yourself. I moved my hand from under my sheets and slammed it down onto the clock to stop the annoying buzzing, and turned away from it, shutting my eyes once again. This was until I felt an enormous amount of weight suddenly hit my bed. 

"WAKE UP Y/N!" a familiar voice yelled. Wesley continued to jump on every inch of the bed. I groaned in my morning voice. "WESLEY!" I yelled, my voice continuously getting louder as I called his name out. Suddenly his jumping stopped and he laid next to me, inches from my face. "Time to get up!" he breathed into my face, which made me scrunch my face up.

Wesley was my best friend. There was no denying it. We had an immediate connection when we met nearly 5 years ago. I couldn’t help but wish we could be something more someday though. Wesley was not shy on looks. That’s for sure. His beautiful brown eyes, perfect brown hair, and the way he was able to stay in shape drove me crazy, sometimes more than others. But I knew deep down, that it was/and will never be. 

"Alright! Alright!" I whined, pushing his body farther from me, and nearly pushing him off of the bed. I sat up and combed my fingers through my messy bed head. ‘Wow, I probably look like total shit right now. And in front of Wes.’ I thought to myself, and breathing out. Wesley suddenly snapped me away from what my mind was saying to me, "Cmon! Get dressed! The boys and I have an awesome day planned for you!" He declared, hopping onto his feet and sprinting out the door.  I sighed to myself, ‘Well this outta be an interesting day..’ 

After finally picking out my outfit, doing my hair and putting my makeup on, I joined Wes downstairs where he was anxiously swinging his car keys around his finger. “FINALLY!”  he yelled, grabbing me by the wrist and dragging out the front door. “Have a fun day sweetie!” I heard my mother yell out the door behind me. 

I hopped into the passenger seat of Wes’ camaro. He shoved the key into the ignition and sped off down the street, towards his house, where his brother and best friend were waiting for us. As soon as we got there, I immediately noticed a huge banner hanging above the Stromberg’s garage that read ‘Happy Birthday Y/N!’ in huge, black letters. “Really?” I asked, turning towards Wesley. He didn’t answer me but instead shot me what looked like an ‘amateur Keaton smile’.  I rolled my eyes and got out of the car. 

I walked up the winding driveway and into their huge mansion-like house, and to my surprise a bunch of my closest girlfriends were there as well. “SURPRISE Y/N!” they all yelled in unison. It made a huge smile spread across my face. I ran over to all of them and gave them each a giant hug. “Aw you guys didn’t have to do this for me!” I suggested to them. “Well we just HAD to though, your 21st birthday is a BIG deal!” one of them said. 

I spent that entire day of going to the spa with the girls. At about 10pm, we all returned back to the boys’ house, where it was all decked out for an all night party. We made our way inside where there was already tons and tons of people. After making my way through the enormous crowd, I was pulled aside by Drew, who placed a birthday princess tiara on my head and a birthday sash over my body.

"Thanks Drew!" I yelled to him over the loud music. "You’re gonna wanna follow me!" He took a hold of my hand and pulled me over to the main couch in the huge living room. Suddenly, one of my best friends appeared by my side. "ATTENTION EVERYONE!" she screamed, causing the music to be turned off and everyone to face our direction. "In honor of Y/N’s birthday, a special performance has been arranged for her! Now I’m gonna need everyone in the room to leave for a little while!" she announced and then stepped away from me. Everyone in the room shuffled out into the backyard.
