"Happy birthday babe." Michael said waking me up. "Thanks." I rubbed my eyes and hugged him. He curled a stranded of mint green hair around his finger. "I love this hair." "Good." I smiled. "How is your lip and other injures?" "Painful." "I wish you would tell me." "Nah." His black eye had almost gone, just a dark line underneath it. His lip was less swollen but his arm seemed pretty bad. Blood stained the once white bandage. "Does it hurt?" "Nope, the giant hole in my arm is fine. I can move it and people can poke me all they want." I poked it. "Oww!" "liar. You said people could poke it." "You are a bitch sometimes." I giggled. "Lets go and do something." I said and got out of bed. I got changed into a black t-shirt with a red skull on it and a pair of red skinny jeans. Michael wore a pare of ripped jeans and a kind of nice shirt. "You look so bright." "You look so dark." "Not true I am wearing white underwear." I said laughing.
We walk downstairs and my mum was making pancakes. "What happened to you?" She asked Michael handing him a plate. "I knew right. Looks fine and then you see his face." I said and he stuck his finger up at me. "Love me really." I smiled. He kicked me under the table and smiled. "Yeah I do." "Owwh! That really hurt." "Love is pain." "Dick." "Can you stop with the language both of you?" "Is pussy a naughty word?" Michael asked acting like a four year old. Then we both started laughing
Guests started to arrive at ten. By guests it was only Jade and Owen. "Is it only four of us?" Jade asked looking at me. I put my hands up and she looked at Michael and he nodded. We sat on my sofa and my mum said we couldn't go upstairs until my dad woke up. Michael and Owen knew why but Jade looked confused. I lifted my hoodie sleeve up and she caught on. "Zoe, that is not good." "You can't tell anyone. I could get taken away." She nodded and I hugged her. "You must ne so strong." I smiled weakly and Michael hugged me.
My dad walked down and ruffled my hair. All three of them looked at him and he walked into the kitchen. "Guys you are so weird. Soon he is going to be scared that if he touches me, three fifteen year olds will beat him up." "Good." Owen said and we all started laughing.
My mum and dad walked in and I opened all my presents. My dad bought me junk as he didn't know what I liked. My mum bought me art stuff. Jade bought me a cute beanie bat. It was so soft and fluffy. Owen got me a cool handbag I saw in new look. It was shaped as a coffin. "That was so awkward to get." Owen laughed. Michael was last. He bought me three things. A beautiful chocker, it was lace and had little beads hanging off. A beanie snow leopard and he also got me this beautiful silver necklace with a silver skull on it. "You guys are the best I love everything. Thank you." I hugged them all. Even my dad. I think Michael was a bit unsure.
"Good Michael. I can hug him. Its only when I disobey." "You take orders." "Yeah. I am kind of like a dog." "That would make you a bitch." Owen joined in. "Well done Owen." Jade said as we walked upstairs. "Well, yeah I am a bitch. Although, I think my leg is bruised from where you kicked me." "Sorry I think I just full pelt kicked you. "I am going to get you back for that." We sat on my bed and played on my xbox. "Do you like your presents?" "Yeah. How did you snow leopards were my second favourite animal?" "I didn't. I knew you liked soft toys so I grabbed the first one I saw." "Well, you got lucky." I smiled. Micheal leaned in and kissed me. As always if felt perfect. "I am trying to play. I don't want to here at you two." I rested my forehead on Michael's as Owen spoke.

"Happy Birthday!" They all sung. It was so awkward. I blushed like crazy. I blew out the candles out and sat there smiling. "You guys are the best." I hugged the three of them and we all ate cake. After that Owen and Jade went home. The lived right next door to each other so they walked off laughing. "See you tomorrow." I said and they waved.
"See, you don't need that many to be happy." "I knew." Michael hugged me and smiled. "Oh. I will be out until ten tomorrow. Soooooo can you take my bag home?" "Yeah. Will you want dinner?" "Nah. I will be eating dinner while out." "Okay. But don't get hurt again." "I promise."
The whole 'will be out untill ten' confused me. What is he going to be doing for six hours? I put my hair up and had a quick shower. Then got changed into my lilac silk pyjamas. "You have colour?" "Yes!" I said bluntly. "What's wrong?" "I am worried about you. I don't want you getting hurt again." "Remember I am a fox." "Fox wasn't so quick yesterday." I said looking at the floor. "I can do it. I just need you to believe me." "I do. But look." I poke his arm. "Owwh!" He put a finger under my chin and made me look up. "Love me?" "Well that was a stupid..." I was stopped by Micheal crashing his lips into mine. "Good." He walked into the bathroom and closed the door. "Guys." I said shaking my head and walking into my room.
I got into bed a laud there until Micheal came in. "Lift you up quickly." I did as told and he put his arms around me. "Night birthday girl." "Night pain in my ass." I said and I buried my face into his chest. Soon enough I feel asleep.
