DNA ( Ariana & Cameron) EDITING RE READ IF YOU WISH

Chapter 18

Sunday morning, Demi woke up smiling, it was her birthday.

She noticed something on the foot of her bed. It was a card with a black rose on top. Kneeling down she took the rose and opened the card. It read.

Dear Demi,
Happy Birthday, this is the only gift which suited you, well it matches your soul, have an amazing day

From ,
Aiden

Closing the card, she placed it on her desk. Most of her gifts were probably downstairs, so she picked her outfit which included: Shorts, black croptop and white converse shoes, she took a shower and changed into her clothes, applying minimal amount of makeup, she then pulled her hair into a high ponytail.

She made her way downstairs, she was greeted by her brother and parents. Beaming, she thanked everyone for the wishes and hugged them all. She took her unopened gifts to her room and came back.

" So how's life Demi?" her mum asked.

"It's....fine" Demi answered looking at her shoes.

" Alright, me and your dad can't celebrate with you today, we have plans, we know you'll love it but im so sorry, im giving you two the permission to throw a party, just don't break anything"saying that, her mum and dad made there way out of the house.

They had gone, Demi and Dylan were by themselves.

" Don't worry mum and dad are throwing a party for you soon, not today though anyway, there's a party at Jack's, so be there, I don't want the party here" he said walking of.

Grabbing her phone she texted Alison to come round, she would be there any moment.

Alison had walked into the house, and hugged Demi.

" We need to the get your outfit ready, you can wear the dress which
you always hid from me" Alison whispered while dragging Demi to her room.

Alison had pushed Demi onto the bed and went through Demi's clothes.

" Got it" She shouted

Carefully, she layed the dress on the bed beside Alison.

" No, this is too reveling, like come on get another on" Demi pleaded

" Nope, you're wearing this, we have couple of hours left, so come on, I'll do your makeup and hair..."

After hours of hard work, Alison had finally finished the make over.

She had done Demi's hair, and makeup like she always wore it.

" Well thank you, and you look great wearing your cocktail dress, what time do we have to be there anyway?" she asked

" well we'll be leaving in a minute, I have your phone and everything else, just smile and be happy even if you see Aiden, after all it's your birthday" Alison said pulling Demi downstairs, then outside.

The air was warm not too cold, the thin fabric just about kept her from not feeling the cold.

Hand in hand, they made there way to the car where Dylan waited in, they drove to the house and got out after it was quiet, no one was there, it was too dark to even see a figure belonging to anyone.

Alison and Dylan pulled her to the door, smirking she opened the door, Demi was met by people screaming "Happy Birthday".

Lights finally were on, surprised, she stood there laughing, the music started up, everyone hugged her and brought her inside. With that everyone allowed her to be by herself, someone snaked there arm around her and hugged her from behind.

She stood forward and pushed the person away, she turned to see who it was. It was Jack, he stood there beaming at her, " happy birthday, hope you like the party babe" he said hugging her

" Thanks, and babe?" Demi asked.

" yeah, come on I know you're into me, everyone knows" he laughed.

" What do you mean?" Demi asked, looking confused.

" Well...", before he could answer, Aiden called her.

" Hey Demi, Happy Birthday" he said.

" Thanks" she replied.

Jack had walked away, leaving the two by themselves, Aiden looked at her, wanting to ask something but didn't want to, after five minutes of awkward staring he asked her.

" Would you dance with me?"

" Well.... Why not" she shouted over the music which now grew louder.

Talking her hand, he lead her to the dance floor.Hours went past while they danced together, but they finally stopped.

" Im sorry about yesterday" he whispered in her ear.

" It's okay, im going to get something to drink, do you want one?"she asked.

" Sure, I'll be in the kitchen though, too many bodies against mine, it's weird" he laughed while walking away.

Avoiding people, she made her way around the crowd, grabbing a solo cup, from the table she poured a drink for both. Holding both cups, she made way her to the kitchen.

She found Aiden making out with Tina, probably enjoying the moment too. Trying not to lose her temper, she tapped his back.

" Here's your drink" she placed it on the table near him and walked off.

" Hey Demi, it's not what it looks like, please understand" he called while Demi walked away into the crowd.

" Yeah then what, are you just helping her breath then? Yeah wow" she said walking of.

Going in a corner, she calmed herself down, and had second thoughts about Aiden, What if he really did mean what he meant?

Sighing, she walked to the place she last saw Aiden, he wasn't there, she tried to look for him, but he was nowhere to be seen.

" Hey, would you like some help?" Someone said behind her.

She turned around, and saw Jack.

" Oh hi" she said almost as if she wasn't interested.

" Hi, if you want Aiden he's upstairs in one of the rooms" he said pointing to ceiling where the room was probably located.

" No it's okay don't want to disturb him" she laughed

" No, come on he was by himself anyway" he said making his way up the stairs.

" Yeah alright then" she said following him.

They made it to the room, the door was closed, Jack opened it and told Demi to walk in, she did, he then closed the door behind him, something was off.

" Where's Aiden?" She questioned while her voice shook with fear.
