3 days later.
I woke up to a sticky note on my forehead and the bed empty. I pulled the sticky note off of my head and read it
Happy Birthday love,
You're 18, you're an adult. I'll see you tonight babe. I'm busy today have to go into town to get somethings. So I had some people I've become great friends with over time come over to hand out with you. So babe what are you waiting for. Go meet them in the living room. I told them to be quiet so you can sleep.
Love always,
Gabe xx
I got out of the comfy bed and walked downstairs. I went to the kitchen to grab a poptart. As I was opening the poptart I walked into the living room. When I saw who was standing in my living room I dropped my poptart. Dani, Bel, Jake and some little kid stood there. Smiling at me tears filled my eyes blurring my vision. The little boy walked over and hugged my leg.
''Aunt Kate, you're so pretty. Happy Birthday.'' I gasped and bent down looking at the little boy. His little hands wiped away my tears.
''Don't cry, daddy wouldn't want you to cry.'' That made me cry even harder. I looked up at Dani and she smiled at her son.
''How old are you?''
''I just turned tree.'' He said holding up 3 fingers.
''What's your name little one?''
''I'm Samuel, but mommy calls me SJ.'' I smiled at him.
''Well SJ you look just like your daddy.'' My voice cracked. Tears blurred my vision. He had brown eyes and dark brown hair. And he had a smile like Sam. I stood up and he went and hugged his mom.
''Dani..'' She walked over after giving SJ to Bel. And she wrapped her arms around me and cried softly.
''I'm so sorry you had to go through this all on your own.'' I grasped onto her. I shook my head.
''I was never alone. I had Sam with me the whole time, Bel,Jake and now Gabe.'' She pulled away and smiled at me. She wiped her eyes and smiled.
''Happy Birthday Beautiful.''
''Thanks.''
''Kate!'' Bel squealed and wrapped her arms around me and I laughed.
''Hey boo how you been?''
''I mean besides getting laid, everything been good.'' I shot a look towards Jake and he smiled cheekly at me. I just shook my head.
''Here open this.'' She handed me a pink bag. I opened it and it had a blue sun dress in ti and then something at the bottom wrapped in blue tissue paper. I pulled it out and unwrapped it and I gasped. I was a picture frame of Me, Sam,Bel and Jake in front of the beach house our sophmore year. The same year he died. The frame said Best Friends Forever and on the side it said People May go, but memories will always stay.
I embraced Bel into a hug for a long time. After we parted from our hug. I smiled at her and took the bag that Jake was holding out for me. I pulled out the t-shirt and unfolded it. It had angle wings on it. And the i pulled out a small box. It was a necklace with angle wings. And there was another part to the necklace. It was a key. I looked back to the neck lace and it had a key hole. I looked up at Jake.
''Everybody says your his angel. Why not make you feel like it. Oh and the fact you needed your wings too.'' He laughed lightly. I gave him a hug.
''Thanks Jakey.'' He glared at me and I laughed. I looked over at Bel. Who looked at the pictures on the wall. I turned to Dani and SJ.
