Noah has been living with us for a couple of months now and he has settled in so well. We get on really well too. It's like he's always been around.
I am woken up to Sophie landing on top of me and shouting the house down. "Paige wake up! It's your birthday" she shouted whilst using my bed as a trampoline. "Good morning to you too soph" I replied sleepily reaching for my phone to check the time. The screen read 7 o'clock. Guess there's no going back to sleep then. "Come on Paige lets go down stairs so you can open your presents!" Sophie said in the same excited tone as before and shaking my shoulders in an attempt to make me move faster. It didn't work. "Ok ok I'm coming" I crawled out of bed and followed a jumping Sophie down the stairs. I was instantly greeted by the smell of bacon and eggs as mum stood over the frying pan. "Morning sweetie happy 16th birthday!" "Thanks mum" she walked over and embraced me in a hug before going back to cooking breakfast. Noah and dad walked into the kitchen follow by our dog blue, a Black and Tan King Charles. "Happy 16th Paige!" They both said in unison "thank you!" I said once again whilst hugging them both individually. After breakfast I headed up to my room to get changed because, me being so lazy, I was still in my pyjamas. It was a Saturday so I didn't have to go into school either which was a bonus so I could do what ever I wanted today. Hurray for me!! I wandered back downstairs after throwing on a shirt a jumper and, as usual, a pair of black leggings. The others were in the living room sat around a small pile of presents. There was a space left for me between Sophie and Noah so a sat down and the present opening began. After all of the cards were opened and most of the presents were open, including a pretty silver headband from Sophie to which I gave her a big hug for, lots of gorgeous jewellery and other bits and pieces and a million more thank you's had been said, their was one present left. It was a big box with gold wrapping paper on it. I walked over and knelt down next to it. Tearing the paper off, there was a brown cardboard box underneath with the word tanglewood plastered across the front. I sucked in a sharp breath as I realised what it was. I whipped the lid off the box and my thoughts were confirmed. Lay in the box was the most beautiful guitar I had ever seen. The front of it was a cream coloured wood and the back was a dark brown and the binding was the same colour as the front and the guitar had a cut out which meant it was an electric-acoustic.

A/n: I have this guitar and it is so nice and it makes the nicest sound I have ever heard from an acoustic guitar
"Oh my god this is incredible thank you so much!" I exclaimed still barely believing that it's mine. "Your welcome honey it's from me and your dad and Noah chipped in as well" "Noah you didn't have to do that thank you so much" "your welcome Paige and it's the least I can do after you took me in and made me feel so welcome in your family" Noah said "our family" I corrected him as I pulled him in and hugged him tightly.
Later that afternoon I went upstairs into my room to have a go on my new guitar. Music had always been a big part of my life so when I first asked to learn to play the guitar my parents asked me what took so long to ask. That was about 8 years ago and I still love to play the guitar. Once I got it tuned up and ready to go, I thought about what song I would do that would be the first one I would play on this guitar. It was almost like some kind of ceremony. Haha. After a long hard think, I settled on beautiful mess by Kristian Kostov. Ever since I first heard it on Eurovision I fell in love with it and I started to learn it the next day.
I started to play and it wasn't until I got to the end of the first chorus that I realised that Noah was stood leaning against the door frame watching me. "What" I giggled slightly embarrassed "kris would love to be here right now. I'm not sure whether he would be embarrassed, amused, amazed or a mix of all three" "huh I didn't know you knew who Kristian Kostov is" I stated slightly confused as to what Noah had said "yeah we used to be best friends, I mean we still are best friends but we don't talk as much as we used to but that's probably because I moved away" Noah rambled "hold up your gonna have to fill me in here. So you are best friends with Kris Kostov as in the Kris Kostov and what do you mean by moved away?" I questioned "yeah the Kris Kostov and I lived in Russia for a couple of years when I was younger, that's how I know him" " no I don't believe you" "it's true I swear" Noah retaliated "prove it" "ok then if you say so" he walked out of my room and a couple of minutes later, he returned with his laptop. He came and sat on the bed next to me with the laptop in his lap and he was on Skype. It didn't say who he was calling but it was a video call and the buzzing confirmed that it was ringing. A minute or so later the call was answered at the other end and a face popped up on the screen. I had to stop myself from screaming but my mouth was hung wide open with pure surprise so I quickly shut it before anyone could see. "No way" I whispered quietly so that the other two couldn't hear but the slight chuckle from the screen proved that maybe I said that a bit loud.
"Kris meet Paige my adoptive sister, Paige meet Kris my famous best friend" ---------------------------------------------- Omg that was a long chapter. I can't promise you that they will all be this long but I'll try my best. How are you liking it so far? Let me know if u want me to do anything differently. Beth xx
