     "Oliver, I need your advice!" I yell walking into my little brother's room. Startled, he instantly drops the book that was just a second ago in his hands. "With what Y/n?" He asks sitting up, picking his book up from the ground. "Should I bring a gift for my friends tonight?" He smacks his forehead frowning. "You're really bright aren't you? Y/n it's your birthday party, Tony, Pepper, and I already did something for you and now they're doing something. They get you presents not the other way around." "Yeah but I just thought since they went through all that trouble -" Oliver cut me off short, ever since our parents death he has been more confident and less considerate of people's feelings. "How do you even know if they did anything big? For all you know they could've gotten you a napkin with the words 'Happy 18th Birthday!', written on it." I sighed heavily ruffling his hair while placing a kiss on his cheek. He smiled, and hugged me. There was my Oliver. "I love you Sis, I know I've been a pain. I'm sorry it's just mom and dad.....they would have wanted to be here. You're turning eighteen and I just turned thirteen, I'm just scared of losing you is all." I heard Oliver as if from a distance, he wouldn't lose me no matter what, not now not ever. "I know, I know, but Oliver trust me when I say you're not going to lose me, ever. I swear I will always be here for you, I know it's hard adjusting, and that you just turned thirteen and all but we'll make it through this, okay?" He nodded into my chest I hugged him more tightly. He let me go after what felt like only seconds, but I knew it was longer. "Okay, now you need to get ready. Go on!" He shouted at me smiling now I laughed shoving him aside when he finally pushed me out of his room I walked to my own room to get ready.
     I decided - since there were having a house party for my birthday at Asher's and everyone at school, besides Delilah and her buddies were invited - to wear a pink floral dress that came down to the top of my knee. I had decided on a pair of white heels and a white cardigan to wear while outside. My nails were painted a matching pink to my dress, and I was wearing silver sterling earrings and a single necklace. My hair was curled elegantly and I had applied little makeup. Mascara, light eyeshadow that practically blends with my skin, and a pale pink lipstick. I always keep my hair straight, and ever since I've started going to the school I haven't worn a dress. I thought I looked actually nice, usually I don't think to fondly of myself, but I thought I looked pretty. Asher had to told me to dress really nice tonight so I did, hopefully he- they would like it.
     I walked down the stairs to see Pepper and Oliver gasping in unison once they saw me. "Y/n! You look gorgeous! Oh my I love that dress on you I knew it was your style!" Pepper shouted gleefully. I smiled and did a little twirl. Oliver cracked his knuckles over dramatically, "You better warn Kyle about looking up your dress, because if I find out I won't be afraid to deck him." I laughed as he balled his fists up, him and Kyle got along great. Although Kyle did have a mind of a 13 year old. Kyle was a pervert at points but never to Amelia, Jordan, and I, but mainly to the girls at school.
     Tony walked in as his eyes got wide, "Alright well, you look like kidnapping material. Good thing I brought you an escort." I blush and look down at myself self consciously. Then realized what he said, "No! No, I'm driving, remember?" I said trying to use my puppy dog face. "Yeah, you still are just I don't want some guy slipping something into your drink and thinking he's gonna take you home." I sigh getting ready to protest but knew when Tony wanted something to happen, it was going to happen. Pepper smiled at Tony and looked at me shrugging. "What? He cares about you Y/n" I smile lightly looking at Tony he did care about my well being. "No. No, I don't. Pepper quit you're going to make me seem sympathetic and weak, this is what any logical parent does. Protects their children." We all laugh as I grab my white and gold purse and put it over my shoulder.
     "So Tony, who's by escort." Tony sighs heavily. "Well, it would've been Bruce....but he's taking Natasha out tonight. Obviously I didn't want to put you in a car with a hammer swinging maniac or a 200 year old bodybuilder, so I had to use my last option which I even hate to acknowledge." I tick off the names in my head, so no Bruce, no Thor, or Captain America. Before I realized who it was the elevator doors open and out walks Pietro.
     My breathing hitches, the more I stare at him the harder it becomes to breathe. "Pietro!" Pepper exclaims. "You're late, go on now Y/n have fun." Tony says looking from Pietro to me. I manage to move my legs as Pietro smiles at me. He was wearing a tight grey shirt with blue jeans. I turned around and waved bye to Oliver, Pepper, and Tony as the elevator doors shut.
     "Y/n." I gasped at the way he said my name, damn hormones. I tried playing it cool. "Y-Yeah?" My voice had raised several octaves, yeah smooth. He chuckled. "God he has an amazing laugh." I shut my mouth, I said that out loud. Gosh dang it! "What, Y/n?" He turned smiling at me. "I-uh-what-I didn't say anything." I sighed heavily, stupid self! "I just wanted to acknowledge how beautiful you look tonight." I blush a blood red I look down trying to hide my face. His accent, I wish he would stop talking but then again I couldn't get enough of it. "T-Thank you, Pietro." I smile as the elevator doors open and he gestures for me to get out first.
     After he holds the door open for me to get in the car and he's in we drive off. I put Asher's address in the GPS, and drive off. I laugh a little as Pietro looks a bit uncomfortable in the passenger seat. He turns to look at me smiling. I switch the radio on to ease the silence, which didn't do any good. The song that was playing made me blush and step on the gas even more.
