A/N I have temporarily removed all pictures and photos, but will add them back in when I have finished, though I will tweak them slightly, meaning I will have different photos instead.
Abbie rushed around getting things ready, it was gonna be a great day! It was Zoë's 16th birthday today, and she wanted it to be perfect! Yes, they had their differences, but still. They were sisters. And sisters stuck together. She could hear 8 month old Ava wailing upstairs, and wondered what had happened, but left the job of cheering Ava up to her mum.
A little more bunting here, a star there... And done! She took a step back to marvel at her work. Wow! She was impressed with herself. The ceiling was covered in stars, with a disco ball hanging down in the center. The walls were draped in pink sheets, with bunting hung over the top. And the windows... Well, the windows were best of all; they were covered in temporary purple glass paint. In short, it looked stunning.
Zoë fussed over her hair; she didn't know how she should do it; was a messy bun too casual? Maybe she should do something more formal? At last she decided on a high ponytail with a plait going down the side. Then she turned to look at her dress. It was a sleeveless, pink, knee high skirt, and when she had bought it, she had adored it, but now... Was it too revealing? Should she maybe go out, last minute to get a new one? "Zoë! 10 minutes til the party starts!" She heard Abbie call up the stairs. Why was she so worried? It was her birthday. She should be happy! She put a smile on her face, and walked over to the dress.
Abbie fidgeted. She was nervous, yet she knew her usually confident sister would be even more nervous. She also knew that come the moment the guests arrived, Zoë's apprehension would disappear, while she herself would hide in her room. She was way too shy in her opinion. Besides, Zoë probably didn't want her around. She would probably just embarrass her in front of her friends.
The doorbell rung, and Zoë opened the door. She was glad that her parents had taken Ava to Nan's for tonight. Knowing her, she would probably draw the attention to herself instead of the birthday girl. Outside stood Marie and Darrik. "Come on in, guys!"
A/N Hey guys! I hope you enjoyed that! It is going to be a murder mystery, but the murder happens a little while later, so please be patient. Also, I want to give credit to nixynins (check out her account), because she edits my story, and does a wonderful job. Also Cazannas edits it as well. I do my best, so I hope you appreciate that. If you have any questions , please leave them in the comment. Thanks, and bye!
