"That will be nineteen dollars and ninety eight cents." The young brunette cashier said as I handed her a 20 dollar bill. Grabbing my change and handing Ella a bag full of groceries. We quickly walked back to my car in attempt to escape the fringed temperature   that lingered in the air despite it being late evening.
I pull the groceries in the trunk only to be met with Ella in the driver seat.
"Can I drive Em?" I chuckled shaking my head.

"E you drive all the time" Ella's thick brown eye brows furrowed in confusion. "You drive me crazy". Ella's expression feel into one of pure irritation and offense making it impossible to suppress my laughter and the tug at the corner of my lips. She moved from my seat with a huff. Turning the key in the ignition I heard a familiar voice hardly audible. Ella must have heard it to because she turned up the radio allowing the last few words of stitches by none other than Shawn Mendes himself to fill the car. I mentally groaned but thanked my lucky stars the song was seconds from ending. The opening to Niykee Heaton's song 'Cold War' filled my car. "Baby I just wanna thank you! Baby I just wanna thank you!"I sung along at the top of my lungs. "Those nights you took her home pressed decline on you phone left me crying all alone you chose yo-" I did not even get a chance to look and see what happened before "I thought "I've been hurt before" met my ears. It was then I hit a red light and looked at Ella's pink iPhone 6 plugged into my aux cord.
"Excuse me what happened to Niykee?" I asked throwing a cold glare at the side of my sisters head. "He chose to decline her calls I chose to decline her music" Ella replied with a smirk. Before I had a chance to react the car behind me honked its horn directing my attention to the now green light in front of me. "Now that you've interrupted my song I shall start the it all over" Ella said as I felt the smirk she directed towards me. I angrily glared at the road ahead of me fighting the urge to throw Ella's phone out the window for two reasons mom and dad would ground me for sure saying "I overreacted" and because I was currently driving and that distraction could result in an accident and I loved my car...... My sister too but mostly my car Niykee. I pulled onto our street and quickly pulled into the empty driveway. "That's odd" I mumbled to myself. The Jamison's car was no where in sight. I glanced at the rose gold watch that rested on my wrist, it read 5:42 pm. The Jamison's are always here at 5 o'clock to start game night. Our game night usually consisted of a round of Monopoly the loser sitting sulking on the couch as if their gold fish had died until mom brought out her famous pumpkin cheese cake for desert. I shook off the weird feeling that founds it's way into the pit of my stomach helping Ella carry the groceries and heading to the front door.  My curiosity grew when I opened the front door only to be met by complete darkness my fear got the best of me and I scurried to get some light flowing throughout my house. In my hurry to see light I tripped over my own feet. I waited to hit the ground but the pain never came. It was then I realized the strong arms firmly around my waist. Just before was I could  let out a shriek the lights came on and I came face to face with Blake Jamison. I was so occupied with gazing in Blake's warm Inviting forest green eyes and stealing a glance at his lips which had a dazzling perfect simile between them I almost missed the loud screams of "Surprise!"
I looked away from Blake praying the blush creeping into my pale face wasn't too obvious. I saw my parents, and the Jamison's with bright smiles on their faces as they stared at me and off to my right where I'm guessing Ella was standing. I felt Blake's arms release my body making me feel cold instantly. I looked at the faces before me with confusion then realized tomorrow was Ella and My birthday tomorrow! I snapped out of the trance I was In for what felt like ever
But in reality was only about 30 seconds. "Thank you guys" I said as mrs Jamison came to hug me.  "No problem dear we wouldn't have missed this for the world." She said as she pulled away smiling brightly at me showing her perfect teeth.
This woman should be in a Colgate commercial....

"Happy birthday Em! I've missed you so much" Sophia sighed as she engulfed me in a hug causing me to giggle.
"I've missed you too soph"
I said as I attempted to hug the air out of my best friend.
I really did miss her the Jamison's moved out of the city six months ago for Ryan or Mr.Jamison to take a job in California. He is the co creator of twitter! Sophia is my sister more than my friend so I've missed her so much!
"Your finally almost an adult Em!" I chuckled and hugged Blake "happy birthday Emma" he whispered in my ear I had to fight the shiver that ran down my spine when he said my name.
"Everyone please gather round we would like to give our precious baby girls their birthday gifts!" my mother shouted in attempt to grab everyone's attention. 

I blushed in embarrassment at my mothers 'baby girl' remark. I walked over to the sofa where my mother handed Ella a small rectangular box covered with a blue letter E. My father handed me a bright blue envelope with a cursive letter E on the front. It was a tradition in my house for me and Ella to open our gifts at the moment we were born it was quite creepy to me but it meant a lot to mom so I never complained. Ella had ten minutes until she could open her gift seeing as it was 6:12pm. Mom took this as a great opportunity to talk about the good days when we were newborns "still her baby girls that needed her for everything." I was not paying attention she did this every single year any minute now she'd start crying and dad would hug her trying to console her. I looked at Sophia sitting on my right who actually looked interested in my mother's water works speech. I looked over at Blake sitting across the room on the love seat I shot my eyes up to steal a glance only to find  him gazing right at me  I would have looked away but his stare was so intense I felt like a bug under a microscope making me shift uncomfortably in my seat . Then the corner of his lips tugged up forming a boyish smile on his perfect face. I was starled by Ella's screams filling my ear drums "YOU GOT THEM?!" I looked over to see Ella holding two rectangular pieces  of paper I automatically knew what they were concert tickets. "Why are there 2" Ella asked. Making me realize she was holding two tickets.
"You may go, but you must take your sister and that is non negotiable."
I prayed I heard wrong because I'd rather eat a whole jar of peanut butter than go to a shawn Mendes concert! And I hate peanut butter!
