Heartstruck

I've always wanted a... Empty Box?

      A fifteenth birthday, the best birthday! Other kids can't wait till there 16, but no, Valentine dreamed of her 15th birthday. She herself is not attractive, but her her siblings are and they said on there 15th birthday they became gorgeous once grandpa Aros showed up. But unlike her sibling who had famous stars show up to there parties, Valentine got a private party.
        "Happy Birthday Val!" Said Caleb it was Valentine's Day, Valentine Cupid's 15th birthday. Caleb Cupid opened the door, he was 24, and the eldest. He carried a red box with a bow on top of it. She ran to him tackling him in a bone crushing hug. He handed the package to her and she opened it, a gorgeous heart locket glimmered in her hand.
"Can you put it on," she asked turning around. His clipped the two ends of the necklace together. He was tall, defiantly the tallest. He had brown hair, a couple freckles spotted his nose, he had a masculine figure and was very handsome.
         "Is that you Cab?" That was his nickname, Henry (all my fellow Oncers would get this) had yelled from across the hall way. Henry had just turned 20 and since this was a private family get together, Grandpa Aros and Ness were the only one missing. He ran and tackled him as well.
         "Do you know if Aros is coming?" Valentine asked, the boys shook their heads. Grandpa Aros was an important figure in Val's life. Since all of her siblings have told stories about them being ugly until Aros showed up at there 15th birthday party and changed everything. (And all of her siblings are quite attractive) She prayed ever night that he would show up, she made herself even more presentable, but the party is almost over and he hasn't even bothered to show up.
         "You know Val, he'll probably show up near the end." Henry said, his blonde hair was in his face and he reminded Valentine of Will Solace like from Percy Jackson, just wait till he ends up gay and falling for a guy like Nico Di'angelo. She smiled her brothers pulled her towards the kitchen. Maryann Cupid (mother) was putting candles on the traditional cake.
         "Is Nerissa coming?" (I love you Rubydust❤️) mom asked. She smiled at Valentine. Valentine smiled, Nerissa Hetalia was Valentine's best friend.
          "Yeah she texted me and said she was in traffic," Val said putting a chip in her mouth.
          "Finally gets a car and learns what is like being an adult," Mother sighed, Valentine remembered the two girls in the past ranting about how great there cars would be, how nice and expensive they would look, but Ness was the first to turn 15 and she just got her new car. It wasn't pretty, but it brought her places. "Well at least your brother is here, do you know if Aros is coming?" No, nobody knew, everyone just assumed. That brought Valentine down. A 'ping' at the door had her running towards it.
         "Grandpa! Finally you..." She said
          "I ain't your grandpa!" Said Nerissa, she handed her a shopping bag. "I know, terrible friend right, I wasn't in traffic." Valentine have her a hug. Usually private family parties consisted of no friends, but Ness was different. She was always there, Valentine's dad even called her his other daughter when they went shopping.
"Well let's enjoy the party, Nessa's here!" All of the siblings hugged Nerissa. Claire and Emma were the girls besides Valentine, and they were gorgeous, they had bright eyes, an hourglass figure and lush plump lips. Caleb, Henry and Michel were the other boys. Michel was in Virginia, but sent her a card that said he wish he was there.
       The cake was delicious, but still no Aros.
        "It's fine Val, when he comes there will be something special waiting," Caleb said sitting next to her on the couch. The party had ended, though no one had left yet.
       "Ping!"
       "Ping!"
        The door bell rang and Valentine assumed it was Aros. She raced to the door and found a box. It looked like normal mail, so she picked it up. It was for her, was this from Aros? She headed to the kitchen and was surrounded by everyone.
       "Well open it!" Exclaimed Claire. Valentine took a knife and opened the box. Everyone closed their eyes as she opened it. Valentine gasp!
"What the HECK!!!" She yelled. There was nothing in the box, nothing, no, nada! Her mom rubbed her back and gave her a small smile.
"I got to go, sorry Val," Caleb said
"Yeah me too," said Nerissa
"Sorry Val," Henry said. Everyone left except the girls, they went up to there room and her mom and dad. Darrick Cupid was Valentine's dad and said he was sorry about the whole thing while dragging his wife up stairs. Everyone was gone, they left her all alone, but she could still hear what her parents were saying. She started to cry. Worst birthday EVER!
"Ann listen to me, this is not like Aros!"
"Darrick, seriously, it's her fifteenth birthday," Valentine listened to their conversation and put her head down in the box. It smelled sweet like strawberries. It reminded her of a good scratch and sniff valentine. She picked up the box and trudged up the stairs. Walking in to her room she threw the fed x box under her bed, but she heard more than a box, she herd glass and wood. Slowly she walked towards her bed, pulled up the covers, and stuck her head under. What she saw was amazing!
