New Girl| Gmw. (Rucas)

24

So today is my birthday. Shawn wanted me to have a little party. A few friends from school. Family. Nothing to big. I got out of bed straightening my hair and putting on a new set of pj's I bought with Mrs. Friar yesterday from Victoria secret. Putting on a little makeup and walking down stairs. I was met with lots of balloons and bunting.

Riley: what's all this?

Shawn: well I know you didn't want any fuss but I wanted to make an effort.

Riley: Naw Shawn it's amazing!

Shawn: I just have one little bit if bad news.

I felt my face drop. What was the bad news?

Riley: what? What is it? What's happened?!

Shawn: no no honey nothings happened. Just your grandma Amy is coming.

Riley: perfect!

Shawn: Really? 

Riley: No! Not really!

Shawn: I'm sorry.

Riley: it's okay.

I sat at the table. Shawn had made pancakes. Best thing ever I loved his pancakes.

Shawn: I'll be back later I just gotta nip out and get some last minute things.

Riley: okay have fun.

After I finish my pancakes I decided to have a bath. Not thinking about the fact that I had just done my hair and makeup. I ran the bath using my favorite bath and body works bath bomb. Scraped my hair back into a bun and washed my make up off my face. I put my favorite Spotify playlist on my iPod plugging it into my portable speaker. I spent a good hour just relaxing in the bath. I didn't have to think about anything. Just relaxing. I had never felt so calm. I had a feeling this birthday was gonna be a good one. I had never celebrated my birthday before. It was nice Shawn was going to such an effort.

After I finally got out of the bath. I moisturized my skin with my ted baker body lotion.

I got changed into my white lace dress and just put on some ankle socks so my feet didn't get cold. The house was quite, too quite.

Riley: Shawn?  Shawn are you home?

In that second my heart jumped out of my chest.

Everyone: SURPRISE!

Riley: Naw you guys!  This is amazing!

Maya: you really think?

Riley: I love it.

My grandma, grandad, uncle Josh, Maya, Farkle, Lucas and Mrs. Friar all came to spend my birthday with me. It was the best day I had in a long time.

Shawn bought me a brand new piano with a built in microphone and the new iPhone 7. Mrs. Friar&Lucas bought me a song book. Maya&Farkle got me a gift card for IHOP because I love pancakes so much. My grandad and uncle Josh bought me a mac book. Which I am now in love with. My grandma didn't get me anything or really speak to me all day.  Lucas could stop looking at me, I didn't know if it was a good thing or not.

Shawn: Riley give us a song on your new piano.

Riley: naw do I have to?

Shawn: yes you will be perfect I promise.

Riley:
This is gospel for the fallen ones
Locked away in permanent slumber
Assembling their philosophies
From pieces of broken memories

Oh, this is the beat of my heart, this is the beat of my heart [2x]
Their gnashing teeth and criminal tongues conspire against the odds
But they haven't seen the best of us yet

If you love me let me go
If you love me let me go
'Cause these words are knives and often leave scars
The fear of falling apart
And truth be told, I never was yours
The fear, the fear of falling apart

Oh, this is the beat of my heart, this is the beat of my heart [2x]

This is gospel for the vagabonds,
Ne'er-do-wells and insufferable bastards
Confessing their apostasies
Led away by imperfect impostors

Oh, this is the beat of my heart, this is the beat of my heart [2x]

Don't try to sleep through the end of the world
And bury me alive
'Cause I won't give up without a fight

If you love me let me go
If you love me let me go
'Cause these words are knives and often leave scars
The fear of falling apart
And truth be told, I never was yours
The fear, the fear of falling apart

Oh, the fear of falling apart
Oh, the fear, the fear of falling apart

Riley: any good.

Shawn: any good?  It was the perfect way to end the perfect day!
