Hazel's P.O.V.

Shawn smacked the cupcake right in my face. He was laughing uncontrollably. I wiped my eyes and then I looked up to see Aaliyah recording with her phone. I got up and went to my bathroom and washed my face. I looked over to my right and saw the toothpaste. I looked at myself in the mirror and smirked.

Shawn P.O.V.

I couldn't stop laughing! Hazel had gone in the bathroom, and I went over to Aaliyah and gave her a high five. We both played back the video and I started laughing again and also did she. I heard the bathroom door open and I turned around. Before I can say anything, I felt a flash of pain on my cheek and touched it. It was something mushy, guessing its toothpaste. "SMACK CAM!" I heard Hazel scream out and burst out in laughter. She was headed back to the bathroom, I suppose to finish getting ready for the day, but I stopped her. 

I grabbed her waist and picked her up. I hugged her, so that her face would also get some of the toothpaste she smacked me with."Shawn! Let me go!" She said, and I did. The left side of her face and some of her hair got toothpaste. Mission accomplished. She was a little annoyed but she started laughing. "Great way to start my birthday," she said sarcastically. 

Hazel P.O.V.

I went back to the bathroom and I got in a shower. As I was shampooing my hair, I was thinking about Shawn. He is seriously the sweetest guy in the world. He takes me to the hospital every day so I can see my mom. He always takes me out on dates. Even if its going to the bakery where we first met. Yes, the waitress always shoves it our face about her being right. I always say thank you to her, because if she hadn't said out loud, "Your coffee, hun!" Who knows where I'd be right now? 

I got out and I put on my towel. I walked out the door and headed to my closet. I decided to put on a casual dress and some sandals. I was about to take off my towel when I heard a voice. "First let me go out." 

It was Shawn sitting in the corner of my room. I blushed so hard. I was frozen. Shawn was smiling and got up and was next to me. I was getting goosebumps. He put my hair behind my ear. He got close to my ear and whispered,"I love you." 

I pulled back a little so I could see his face. I gave him a quick kiss and said, "I love you, too. Please get out so I can change, yeah?" He smiled, kissed my check, and went out my door.

*20 minutes later*

I opened my door, fully dressed and hair curled. I was about to take a step, when I felt a blindfold go over my eyes. "Hey what's going on?" I ask. "You'll see," I heard a voice say. It sounded like Shawn. He was leading me down the stairs so I wouldn't trip. Then we finally stop in the middle of the living room."Ready?" He asks me. I nod and he takes off the blindfold. I see my mom standing there. I start crying and I run to her. She runs to me and we hug each other like if we were never going to see each other again. After like an eternity later (actually 3 minutes), we let go. My mom was wiping my tears away and laughing."Honey, don't cry. I'm okay!"She says."Mom, I can't believe you're actually here!" I say."Hazel, don't you remember me promising you that I'll be here for you're 18th birthday?" 

I just shake my head and hug her again. 

It was a surprise party and not a lot people were invited, which is the way I like it. Just a couple of Shawn's friends, like Brian and Ian. Then my grandparents, Shawn's family, and my mom of course. It was still a great party. We all talked and we had cake. 

Then it was time for presents. I opened from the smallest to largest. So the first one were from my grandparents. It was a small box. I opened it and I saw the most beautiful set of watercolors. "Oh my gosh, thank you guys!" and I went over to hug them. I next opened one from the Mendes family. They gave me a cozy hoodie from Hollister. They know me so well."Thank you!" I say, and they smile back. Then I opened another box which was from Shawn's friends. Like they all got together and got me something. I opened it and it was an easel. But it wasn't just any easel. It had like boxes on the side so I can keep pencils and brushes in there. It was amazing. "Guys, you barely know me! This must've cost a fortune! Thank you so much." They smiled and said,"It's alright, Hazel. We don't know you that well either, since Shawny boy here didn't tell us about you. But we know how much you care about him, so any friend of Shawn is a friend of us." I went up to them and gave each of them a hug. 

Next up was my mom. It was fairly big. I opened it up and it was a frame with a picture of us when we went to Paris. It was one of the most wonderful experiences in my life."Mom, this is-" I was starting to crying, but I'm trying to hold back the tears."It's the best gift ever, no offense everyone." I say facing everyone. They gave me sympathizing smiles. I go over to hug my mom."You're welcome sweetie" she says in her soft voice. I go back to my seat and open Shawn's present. It was one of those presents when you open a box, there comes out another box until in the last box, there's the actual gift. I got to the last box and open it. It had a letter saying that I was invited to an art show and my art would be in it, with 2 plane tickets to LA, since I live in Canada. How did he do this? How'd he know it was my dream?

I ran to him and he picked me up and kissed my forehead. "Shawn, thank you. I'm speechless," I say. "No you're not. You were speaking just now!" He said, trying to be funny. He put me down, and I punched his shoulder playfully.

Shawn's P.O.V.

I promised myself that I would get her art noticed, right? So I met up with some people and I was able to get her in LA Art Show. When I saw her face when she saw the letter, I felt so glad. Satisfied with myself.

Hazel's P.O.V.

The small party was over and everyone went back home. Once everyone was gone, Shawn and I took my mom back to the hospital, since she said she wasn't feeling well. We got there and we took her in. I said goodbye to my mother and we left.

I went back home with Shawn. It was just the two of us now. "What do you wanna do, Shawn?" I ask. "Its your birthday." He replies. I was trying to think of something when I had the perfect idea. "Let's stay in and binge-watch Harry Potter!" I say. His eyes opened wide and went running to the kitchen. He got cookies and soda, then threw them on the couch. He sprinted upstairs and came back with a bunch of blankets. He got my hand and pushed me on the couch, then he did too. He covered us with the blankets and I rested my head on his chest. He turned on the T.V., put on the 1st Harry Potter movie and pressed play. "Let's do this thing!" He yelled. I laughed and we did that for the rest of the night until we fell asleep there.
