Thank You For Saving Me // Stauren

chapter thirty seven

Lauren's P.O.V
Today. That's his birthday. I was rushing around trying to make sure everything's going okay. All the plans were set, I know that. But I'm incredibly stubborn. In other words, if you tell me something is okay, I won't believe you. I would have to see it myself. And that's the problem, I have to check everything for myself, which is tiring but needed. Another thing was, I have an impression Steven might think I've forgotten his birthday, which would never happen. I've always remembered it and always will. But it's was today and surprisingly not, I was really stressed. First there's the party, then trying to keep it from Steven, then attempting to keep myself healthy for the baby, then Jay is still on the loose. All those things can put stress on a girl. Especially, me.

It was still early in the morning, around eight-ish. Steven was still asleep, as I'm aware. I was finishing a call to the doctors to postpone my appointment. It was only a scan for the baby and I was supposed to be going today but I seriously had to much going on.

"Yes. Then is fine. Thank you, bye." I said to the women on the phone as I hear Steven walk around the corner.

"Who was that?" He said croakily from just waking up as he rubbed his eyes. He had bed head, obviously not caring what he looks like when on the other hand, I was fully ready and dressed.

"Oh just the doctors asking if I can postpone my appointment. Apparently, the doctor I was going to see is sick today. So, I was changing it." I replied. I didn't want to tell him that I postponed it myself. He'd ask why then he would probably find out by asking Emily. Then it would be ruined! But then he'd say that I shouldn't be moving the scan for his birthday party. He wouldn't be happy about it. So for now, it's a secret.

"Oh, well that ain't fair on you. Can't you see another doctor?" He said putting one his hands on his hip and the other in his hair.

"No they're all fully booked up, and it's no big deal." I said shrugging, my shoulders, it seriously wasn't a big deal. I did it because I literally had to.

He just sighed and ruffled his hair. That's all he did. He seemed so pissed, but hopefully that will change soon.
"So, what we doing for my birthday? You're acting like you've forgotten it" he said with a nervous chuckle.

"Hmm? I'm sorry, what?" I was acting like I had forgotten but seriously? Would I actually forget his birthday? The answer to that, is no my friends.

"You've forgot haven't you? You've forgotten my birthday" he said chuckling a bit. I could tell he was kind of hurt, but it'll be worth it soon.

"C'mon Steven!" I shouted from the bottom of the stairs. We had to be at the party in the space of 15 minutes! And it's like a ten minute drive! He was taking his time and it was pissing me off big time.

"Alright, alright, I'm coming geez." He said putting on his jacket as he walked down the stairs. "Are you gonna tell me where we're going yet?" He asked, which was the 7th (?) time he's asked in the last few minutes.

"Nope! Now let's go! We're gonna be late! And you know how I hate to be late to things Steve. So let's go." I said as I practically dragged him out of the apartment and down to my car.

The drive was pretty quiet. The only question was from Steven asking where we were going or what we were doing. My answer to all the questions was simply shaking my head. I wasn't planning on talking just in case I brake and tell him everything, I didn't want to take the chance. When we arrived, I made Steven close his eyes as tight as he can as we walked into the building. I tugged Steve along until he was in the room and everyone shouted surprise. His face lit up with joy and happiness and after a few seconds he looked at me in disbelief. The music started playing and the party surely began.

"Did you do all this?" He said with obvious glee and delight in his voice.

"Yeah. I mean I had help from people, especially Emily, but it was my idea so yeah I guess I did." I said with a grin on my face. I guess, in all circumstances, I did create all of this. I did this for him, and to see him this happy just made my grin wider.

He took my hand and we were talking, dancing, and just generally having fun. It was great! I never wanted it to end. It was all so perfect.

What could possibly go wrong?
