Guitar Boy

My Life/Birthday

So lately things haven't been going well with my family. My parents have been fighting like crazy and I have a strong feeling that they are getting a divorce. I'm possibly going to have to choose of were I want to live. If I really had to choose, it would be neither. I would love to lie with my grandparents in Los Angeles, but that's to far away. I live in Louisiana so that's a long time to travel and I can't get on a plane by myself because I'm only 17, and I'm scared of heights. If I were to get drive there, my mom is most likely to take me cause its her parents and my dad doesn't like traveling. I have a car, but its broke down and in a repair shop right now and it won't be fixed for at least another month. I was homeschooled so I got my GED a year early. I've been getting drove to work by my best friend, Jenna, since we work together and since my car decided to break down on me. I've been through hell and back lately and it so hard to deal with everything. My boyfriend and I got in a huge fight because he cheated on me so I ended everything. We would have made a year on my birthday, August 18th, a month from today. I'm hoping that by then, my car will be fixed so i can just leave this death trap I call home, or at least use to.

**BUZZ BUZZ**
My phone started going off like crazy. I woke up to the sound of constant buzzing and singing from phone calls. I picked my phone up to check the time, 7:59am, one minute before my alarm went off. Somehow I always have woken up before it started to go off. I decided to wait the minute out and then turn my alarm off. I didn't answer anyone right away like I would normally do. I got up and went straight to go to the bathroom and then get a shower. I got undressed and got in when the water was warm. I washed my hair first cause I hadn't done it in two days due to working late. I used my strawberry scented shampoo and conditioner. I then grabbed my mixed berry scented body wash and washed my body. It felt good to have some time to think. I got out and grabbed my blue fluffy towel and wrapped it around myself. I grabbed another towel and wrapped my hair up and went to the sink. I washed my face then brushed my hair. I went back to my room and got dressed. Black skinny jeans, a white tee and my jean jacket to top it off. I decided to do my makeup a bit; eyeliner, mascara, and a little lip gloss; like usual. And when it came to my hair, I just grabbed my hair dryer and dried it that way then straightened it. I never liked my natural waves so I'd always curl it or straighten it.

This past month hasn't been to bad. I've been able to work and have fun and get away from the house for a while so I could focus on my music and get money to buy a new guitar. My parents always handled my birthday so I never really had to worry. They always had something big planned for me. I would normally just guess until they would give up and tell me, but this year they didn't. I was confused but I just let it go. My car is still worked on. The people at the dealership said it should be done by Wednesday, so I would have it soon so I didn't bother worrying about it.

I finally decided to look at my phone again. It was already 9:30am. I didnt have work today, mainly because it was a Saturday and the store is closed on Saturdays so I didn't have to worry about that. I looked through every app I have to see how many people have said Happy Birthday to me. I had over 40 texts, about 20 messages on Facebook (not counting how many people had said it to me on my page), Snapchat was always a lot cause I have a bunch of streaks with a lot of people but about half of them really said something about my birthday. Instagram I had maybe 50 DMs from people saying "HBD" and a bunch more. I missed 20+ calls from my friends who all ended up leaving voice mails. Well honestly, I have 3 real friends and most of the calls were from Jenna. And some of the calls were from family members, half of which I didn't really talk to so it wasn't that bad. I answered everyone then started to smell food. Bacon, eggs, and muffins, strawberry to be exact. And I could smell pancakes, but I dont really eat pancakes, so it didn't bother me. This was the one day I didn't want my parents to fight, even though I knew they will find something to fight about eventually. I started to walk down stairs to see exactly what my parents were up to. I saw my mom setting the table so that meant dad was cooking. I ended up stubbling and hitting the wall by mistake trying to be quiet but failed.

"Go back to your room, sweetie. We'll call you when were ready," my mom spoke in a soft tone without even turning around.

"Yes ma'am" I nodded and walked back to my room. I answered a few more texts and messages from the random people telling me happy birthday. I took a few selfies and sent out streaks.

By then I had answered everyone and started to get bored. It was already 9:55am and my parents still haven't called me. I started playing music and half way through the first song, I heard my name. I ran downstairs to be welcomed by hugs and kisses by my mom then dad. We sat down to eat breakfast and then a few presents. A lot of them were typical. A couple cute outfits, some shoes and makeup, and a new bag. Then my dad told me to wait 5 minutes inside and walk outside. Today had already been so good, what else could top it all off?
