Lost Then Found

Lost Then Found (16)

BANG BANG BANG!!

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BAYBAY!!!!

I jumped up. Why the hell would they do this?! I'm a sleep lover! So why the hell would they do this to me?! They stormed in my room with a pan and a spoon, yelling happy birthday. When I saw them, I dropped back on my bed, rolled myself into a ball, and put the pillow over my ears. They stopped.

"Oh stop being such a sourpuss. Sam it's your birthday!..." I could feel her staring at me, waiting for me to out of bed. "Samantha Simone Slone, GET UP!!!"

I grunted.

"We have breakfast waiting for you..." He bribed.

I rolled over to face them. "Bacon?"

"of course bacon. Greedy, get up! C'mon!" They left the room, walking down the stairs.

I got about of my bed. Dragging my feet, moving in slow-motion like a turtle, straight to my bathroom. I washed my face and looked in the mirror...

"Ahhhh!!!" I started jumping up-and-down and running around the room, dancing and singing, "It's my birthday! It's my birthday! Happy birthday to me!" Then I managed to calm myself down, put on my fuzzy slippers, and go downstairs.

"So what's the plans for today? Whats first on the list?" Lucas asked while placing my colorful breakfast in front of me.

"Well actually," I looked around. "Mom around? I have to ask you something."

"Nope. She went to pick up something. What's up?"

"Okay, I wanted to ask you and John if you can walk me out to the party, when I make my grand entrance. You know, since my dad died, you guys are father figures to me. John's been here all my life and you, as soon as you started dating my mom, I see a light in her that was dimmed ever since his death. And we have a great "father-daughter" relationship so... whata ya say?"

He was so shocked, he was frozen. Like a statue I would say. Then I was starting to worry that he might so no. I was staring him down for an answer, and he was staring into some crazy other world I guess.

"Earth to Lucas. Are you still here?"

"Yeah... Mannie I'd love to walk you. It would be a great honor."

"Yay!!" I jumped off of the stool and gave him a big hug. I was so relieved to hear him say that.

"Can somebody call Marcus!?!"

He said he would be here! He promised!!! I don't know what has gotten into him lately but I don't like it one bit! I've been calling him all day and he didn't answer not one call or text. And now it's time, my party is going start in exactly 2 minutes and he's not here!!

"I called and he didn't answer." Riley informed.

"Call him again."

"I'M HEREEEEEEE!!!" He burst open the double doors to the room we were all in.

"Hey babe. Youuu my deaar look stoking pot!! Purrrrr!"

"Marcus are you drunk?!"

"No. He's high." Bennie addressed. "His pupils are tiny."

"Actuallyyyyyyyyy, I'm aliiiiittle bit of both. hehe." He spoke all care-free and nonchalant which angered me even more.

"WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?!?"

"YEAH WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?! GET ME MY TUX!!"

"NO GET OUT!!" With tears rolling down my face, my voice was filled with disappointment, anger, and depression all wrapped in one all so quickly.

"Heyy baaabe. What's the matter? You wanted to me come, I promised, So I here am." The slurring in his words made my skin crawl.

"You need to leave. Now." Bennie stopped him from coming any closer to me.

"Let her tell me that! You know, I'm really getting tired of you man! Always gotta be her 'hero'. What, you love her or something?"

"Leave." Everybody stared at me. I was looking down at my dress.

"What?" he looked at me shocked.

"You heard me." I looked up at his depressing face and with all my might, no tears, I simply said, "Get out of here. I don't ever wanna talk to you ever again. It's bad enough I'll have to see you at school."

"You don't mean that. Tell him you don't mean.."

"You heard her. Go home." Bennie defended.

"And what if I don't?"

BAMM! He punched Marcus in the face! I was shocked but it kinda felt good, because he needed that. For letting me down tonight, talking to Bennie like that, having the nerve to show up at my party drunk and high... he had it coming.

"Come on, your guest are out their waiting for you." he held out his hand and pulled me up. I stood on my feet, head high, and welcomed my loved ones to this extravaganza. I had a wonderful time besides the whole "Marcus Meltdown" situation. And when I went home after a long wonderful night, I crawled in bed and cried myself to sleep. This was an important moment in my life and I wanted him to be there to support me. But he let me down. BIG TIME. I don't wanna be with somebody like that..
