While I was playing with Dixie (my new puppy) I was thinking about Austin. Why hadn't he called or anything on my birthday? I haven't talked to him in the last 2 days. I'm really missing him right now.

Before I knew it, Dixie started to just shit on the floor. I tried to stop her but she wouldn't move. "OHHHH, Dixie! Why did you do that." she said. "It's okay hun, just go get your new outfit on and do your hair and stuff, I'll clean this up." I agreed and made my way up to my room to get ready.

Once I had the dress on, I went to go curl my hair. I turned on the curling iron and started to do what I had to do. After I finished, I applied light make-up, put my pumps on, then walked downstairs. "I'm ready" I said. "OH! You look beautiful Steph!" She replied. "Where are we going?" I asked. She just had a smirk on her face then took my hand and walked outside to her car.

She put the keys in the ignition and backed out of the driveway. We drove for about 5 minutes and ended up at this really nice local building. We got out of the car and walked behind the place.

Once we made it out back, I saw awnings everywhere, streamers, balloons, ribbons, tables with vases filled of pink and red roses, a dance floor, everything. All of a sudden,

SUPRISE!!! Everyone came running out of the building, forming 2 lines, like a tunnel thing. "You need to make your entrance." said Alex's mom. The line was leading toward the dance floor. I started walking in the "tunnel" and finally made it to the floor.

The DJ started playing "U" by Austin. I awkwardly stood there until I feel hands wrapping around my waist. I turn around and Austin is standing there. I didn't say anything. I just instantly wrapped my arms around his neck. He picked me up and spun me around. "Happy Birthday Steph." he said. I thanked him and he let me down.

We started dancing and so did everyone else. Only me and Austin were on the dance floor though. Everyone else was on the grass. The song got to my favorite part and I rested my head on his shoulder.

I remember us, sittin up late in my one bedroom apartment

Memories runnin though my head head head head

Your the only one I want, If you were to leave me, I don't know what I would do instead stead stead stead,

Cuz I love ya, I love ya, even if I'm tempted, I swear I'll never put no othas above ya

Hope I can get along with your big brothers, cuz I'm in it for the long hall like truckers.

Party and love and the purple labeled kisses, just give me a minute I'll be makin you my Mrs.

And we can look exquisite, trips to the pacific, look up in the sky like look Mema I did it

"Steph?" he said as the song still played. By that time people were all standing around us, watching us dance. "You look amazing tonight." he said with a grin from ear to ear. "Thanks, I missed hearing that." I said letting a tear slip. He quickly wiped it away. "Steph?" he said again. "Yes Austin?" I said looking up at him. "I love you." he said as he kissed my forehead.

We danced until the song ended. It was now time to open presents. I opened Alex's first because he kept asking me to open his first. He got me a silver heart locket that had an engraving on it that said, "best friends till' the end" I opened the locket and it had a picture of my and him in it, one of our very first pictures.

I stood up and hugged him tightly. The next one was from Tyler, Rob, and Zach. They all pitched in and got me a glass flower with a golden stem. Lastly, of all the presents, I got to Austin's. It was a fairly big box.

I opened it and the first thing was a picture frame with different pictures in it. There was one him kissing my cheek, then me kissing his, and many others. "Keep goin, there's more." he said as I continued going through the box. The next thing was a pink Trukfit necklace just like his.

I got to the last thing in the box. It was a smaller rectangular box. I opened it and it was a Pandora bracelet. There was a softball charm, basketball, heart, Dallas Cowboys star, a high heel shoe, and another heart with a diamond on it. On the back of the heart it said, "Austin+Steph, forever and always."

It was the best birthday ever! I thanked everyone and sat down next to Austin and the crew at a table. Right once we sat down, 2 men in black suits came out with a HUGE cake. At the top, there were 2 candles. One was a 1 and the other was a 8. "Who set this all up?" I asked the crew. "I did" Austin said as he raised his hand and smiled. I hugged him then he led me over to the cake.

I blew the candles out and everyone started pigging out.

The party finally ended and Austin took me back to his house.
