Because Being Together Is Enough

Because Being Together Is Enough~ 9

*1 Week Later*
I was doomed.

I was seriously and pathetically doomed.

I was like a live zombie.

Zombies aren't living but I was exception.

I was thinking rubbish.

See there, how much I am doomed, looking at the roof, the night before my birthday.

Right now, I could not think of anything else. It was just half an hour left and I would turn 18. I would turn fucking 18. And that too here, in this 10 years old room of mine and without my mom (she was on night duty) and with nothing but just a phone call from Emily, Serena and I am not sure about Adrian. It was more than one week since he had been away. No way I was going to talk to him. He could not even come before my birthday? How ridiculous. I don't like parties so every year I celebrate my birthday with my three best friends. Well, first it used to be just Emily and Serena till fifth grade and then Adrian, I don't how, found his way in to our lives, and became one of my most important part of my life, let alone he even got a place in my heart. I still remember how, one day he asked me to help with his notes as he was a new admission and he was just a cute, little, chubby boy at that point of time (I still laugh thinking of the younger him), and I helped him. Then, I don't know how we ended up being best friends.

I picked up my phone, it showed 11:35 P.M., 13th October.

"Twenty-five minutes," I sighed.

CLING! CLING!

I sat up on my elbow and my head snapped towards my window. I pushed open my window which was big enough for me to jump out and commit suicide at the moment. I can't believe these are my thoughts. I glanced down (my room was on the first floor) and saw the familiar face, brown hair and chocolate brown eyes... That's not possible.

"Addy!" I exclaimed, seeing my best friend after what felt like years.

"Oh my God! What are you- why didn't you- I-I don't understand!" I stammered with shock and excitement.

He could get hurt. Why was he clinging to the pipe?

"Help me get up there Annie!" He cried out.

"Oh sorry sorry. Hold my hand," I helped him to come up and finally he was standing in front of me, real and solid. I actually couldn't believe that he had come! I was just so happy. 

His brown hair were dishevelled and his chocolate brown eyes had a sort of excitement in them. I bet my grey eyes were also filled with happiness at that moment. Tears of happiness suddenly leaked through my eyes as I put my arms around Ad's neck.

"Do you realise how much I missed you Ad?" I murmered, hugging him very tightly. He held me tight.

"I know Annie. I missed you too," he whispered back.

"But here I am! Alive! HAHAHA," he faked a laughed, "And..." he dramatically said, "My Annie is turning 18 in...," he glanced at the clock, "15 minutes!"

I smiled widely pulling back from his warm hug.

"You can't be serious, Annie!" Adrian squealed.

"Yeah but I have to be serious. This was not how I wanted the party to be."

After I told Addy everything about Mike and Jace drama, I was relieved as huge load was off me. Well, I thought I would get a solution to it but Adrian kept squealing...
