fourteen.

'my birthday was yesterday so today it's leenas 🎈 + i have a new video uploaded (like in my bio!!) when i get to 45 subs i'll update (i'm gonna update anyway but it will just be sooner) <3

"HOW DARE YOU NOT TELL US THAT TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY?!" jack johnson rushed into my room and gave me an accusing look.

"i swear if you make me mess up my eyebrow!" i set my angled liner brush down and turned towards him. "also, i have no idea what you're talking about." i lied.

"liar!" he pointed at me, "your twitter has the ballons!" he yelled, proud that he knew i wouldn't have an argument for that.

in response i cursed under my breath.

"why wouldn't you tell us?" he questioned. i looked at his face and started to feel bad because he looked hurt that i hadn't told them.

"johnson, there's just a lot going on. and i'm turning 17, that's not any big year that needs a big celebration. it didn't really register to me that i should have announced it to you and g. i'm sorry." i explained myself.

"any birthday deserves a celebration! and it's the first birthday that we get with you, we want to do something for you. you're our close friend AND you live with us so we get the right to celebrate your birthday." he said, leaving me no room to object to celebrating my birthday.

before i could even try to argue he was already talking again. "anyway, ever since we saw people tweeting about it and we saw the twitter balloons me and gilinsky already decided what we're doing for you. so finish getting ready and dress pretty, like you always do of course, and meet us downstairs. you have approximately three hours to get ready before we start to bug you about it. so keep your eyes on the clock and meet us at three. okay? okay. see you later leena!" he told me before rushing out of my room so i couldn't complain. damn him for knowing me so well.

i stood contemplating if i should actually get ready before i realized that knowing the jacks, and probably some of our other friends, knowing them, there's wasn't a way i was going to get out of this. when they put their mind to something, it gets done.

i went between getting ready and responding to birthday texts from friends in texas for the three hours that i had been allotted. once i decided i was ready i checked the clock and silently congratulated myself for having fifteen minutes to spare.

"hello, the birthday queen is here and ready." i said, being greeted with the familiar faces of johnson, gilinsky, and sammy.

"it's all my boys!" i exclaimed, as i ran to sammy for a hug.

"she says all her boys but only goes to sammy, we see how it is." gilinsky jokes.

i stuck my tongue out at him but kept my arms around sam.

"she sees you two everyday, i haven't seen her in like two weeks leave us alone." sam countered.

gilinsky shrugged his shoulders in defeat at the reply.

"as sweet as this is, we need to get the birthday queen into the car." johnson said, starting to usher us out of the door.

"where are we going?" i asked confused, but allowed him to guide me out of the house and to his car.

"we'll tell you on the way." gilinsky replied for him.

we seated in the car with johnson driving, gilinsky in the passengers seat, and sammy sitting in the back with me.

i laid my legs onto sam and layed myself across the seat to relax.

after driving for about fifteen minutes i spoke up.
