TEENNAPPED!

Chapter Eighteen [Mom and Dad to the rescue]

I woke up to a knocking on the door.

"Who is it?" I heard Ronny say.

"Oh hey boss."

I got up curious of what was happening at the door.

I saw my mom hugging Dandra and my dad talking to Justin.

"So I don't get a hug." I said.

"Lips!" Mom said.

I ran and jumped on her. I missed her so much and dad too only I missed her more.

"So what did you get me?" I asked.

"Oh nothing."  Dad said.

"What?!" I yelled.

No way they went and spent one and a half months in Barbados and forget to buy something for me. ME, their only daughter.

Did I mention only.

I looked at dad searching for a look that said that this was a joke but there was none.

"So you went away and left me and Fred with that crazy woman and not bring back anything for me. I disown you guys." I said turning my back to them.

I heard them all laughing and I turned around to see all of them with creepy smiles on their faces.

"I think this is some Michael Jackson film because this is getting kinda creepy." I said stepping slowly towards the staircase, which unfortunately Blake was at.

"You seriously don't know what day it is?" Blake asked.

"Nope."

"Seriously, try to remember." Justin said.

Day of the year? There are many of those and we so happen to be coming to the end of summer.

I really need to go school shopping next week.

Yeah nothing special is coming to mind.

"Nope."

"We are in August.... ring a bell?"

"Nope."

"The 25th of August?"

"Nope."

They all look at me like I'm stupid.

"What?" I asked in my most innocent voice.

Ronny comes and puts his hand over my eyes and led me to God knows where.

When we came to stop I smelt sugar.

"Is that...?"

I smelt again, "Cake!"

Ronny lifted his hand and they all said "Happy Birthday, Lips!"

Since when did Ronny, Justin, Blake and Dandra call me Lips?

Only God knows.

"Wait did you just say birthday? Is that Fred?" I asked pointing at a familiar face beside the cake.

"Yes and yes." Justin said.

"FRED!" I yelled running over to him.

I squeezed the life out of him and the shouted, "Let's eat this cake before Catrin eats all of it."

Everybody ran to the table with the chips and food galore and mom and dad both share the cake for all of us. Of course we all got huge slices because there are little of us.

Plus, I don't do small slices of cake.

Just saying.

When it was close to dark we went inside and sat in the living room.

"So I got you something." Dad said handing me a huge wrapped gift.

I shook it but couldn't make out what it was. I slowly opened it and gasped.

"You got me a human sized, super fluffy panda teddy bear!" I screamed hugging it.

"Imma name you Amber because you have amber looking eyes." I said hugging it again.

I got sparkly shirts and shorts from Dandra and a pack of potato chips from Ronny, Two JB T-shirts and a box of chocolate muffins from Justin and a new iPhone 7 from my mom.

Blake, however, gave me blueberry muffins and his homemade pancakes, which of course I gladly accepted and ate right there.

I got rescued on my birthday its a great feeling even if I didn't remember it was my birthday.
