Ember's Wings

2) Sweet sixteen

Sweet sixteen - Chapter 2
So I was turning sixteen today. My parents woke me up like on every other birthday. I went in the kitchen downstairs and they sang me happy birthday and gave me the presents. This year they got me the best present till now I have to say. They got me a car, not a new one, a second hand but one that has been sprayed with purple, my favorite color. And beside this beautiful vehicle they also got me credit card and promised to depose 500$ a month, but that I already had 2000$ on it. This was really the best present till now. They said they were sorry that they were leaving me for a hole month alone and that they have to leave on my birthday. As I was walking them to the car my mom repeated me the rules and some other things.
"Ok sweetie don't forget the rules ok? They are on the fridge door in case you don't remember something. And also, please don't forget to call us at least 2 time a week please. You can have Stacey  come over if you want. And also please don't ..."my mom kept talking without any reason cause she already told me this a thousand times so I cut her off.
"Ok mother. I know the rules. I'll behave.  I'll call you if I have any problem. Have a nice time in Africa . And also thank you for the gift. The color is perfect "
"We are glad you like it."dad said.
"Bye! Be safe!" I yelled after their car after we hugged at least 3 times.
I hurried back in the house and in my room. I looked at my phone, the lasted IPhone and saw the time 7:30 Fuck! I had only 30 minutes to get ready and eat breakfast. Who do I trick, I almost never eat breakfast because I have no time. So I choose my clothes for school, I put a little makeup on just basic, CC cream, a little eyeliner, some lip balm and just a bit of mascara on the tip of my eyelashes because they are transparent. Ok, now just do something with your hair Ember, come on! I brush it, and by the way my natural hazel-blond hair waves down my shoulders I know I have no chance in doing anything else with it beside a pony tail or a messy bun. I washed it yesterday so it should be ok like this for the rest of the day. At least I can hope. Ok I'm ready and I have 5 more minutes till Stacey comes to pick me up wit the rest of the group. I go get my backpack and I'm officially ready and till now my birthday isn't ruined. This might just be a good day. I see Stacey's s car outside and hurry. Everyone wishes me happy birthday.
When we get to school we still have 10 more minutes so me and Stacy we head to our lockers. Standing by my locker I find Jace, my boyfriend, with a rose.
"Happy birthday Ember!"
"Ooo you are so sweet Jace!"
He gives me the rose and I put it in the locker and then he kisses me. In the 2 years we've been together I felt really nice but lately he seems more distant. I had a crush on him since 4th grade. That is a long time. The bell rings and we head to class with Stacey.
"You know, you don't seem to be head over hills over him.  At least not as before, not as 4th grade" she said.
"It feels like I don't know him anymore. He used to be my friend before he's been my boyfriend. But now it is like he is only someone I kiss and hold hands with. I think he no longer likes me"
"Are you crazy, even if it is true.  You can't think of this today and no way he would do this. He would be really stupid"
"Thanks S I really need to hear this. O and also my parents left today and they said you are allowed to come over "
"You know I would've come anyway, right?"
"Of course!"
We planned the rest of the day and she convinced me to have a birthday party, no she obliged me actually because she practically invited the hole class and then the hole school. When we finished our last class we headed to the market for supplies as we were going to throw a party.
We got home and organized everything we even had a huge box for presents. There were at least 100 people who came to the party, some without birthday gifts and Stacey made them pay a 50$ for the entry. It was really fun and around 3 am we got everyone out because the neighbors said they would call the cops and I really didn't want my parents to find out about the party.
When everyone was out and we had cleaned the house of paper glasses and other things I realized Jace didn't cone so I texted him
E Hey, you okay?
J Ya why?
E You didn't come to my party
J I came but then I left because I had a headache
E Ohhh....I'm sorry. I miss you!
J Let's talk on Monday ok?
E What are you doing this weekend?
J Visiting my grandma
E So you ain't coming by?
J No, sorry.
J Talk to you later
E Ok
E I love you
J Ya
J Me too
Both me and Stacey went to sleep and after she made me promise to stop worrying about Jace and also that I would open the presents with her the next morning.
