Beep beep. Beep-beep. Beep-beep!!

 "Urgh no."

Beep-beep.

 "Shut up."

Beep-beep.

I'm going to kill Zack! "Okay!" I slammed my hand down on the snooze button and sat up, rubbing the sleep from my eyes I looked out the window and saw the pale grey sky and sighed.

 "Just great."

You make me feel like I'm living a teenage dream, when you turn me on.  I can't sleep let's r-'

 "Zack why on earth would you put that song as your ringtone?"

He didn't say anything then cursed, "I'm so sorry Jenna I didn't think about that I-"

 "It's whatever."

 "Well you wanna open the window?" Glancing out the window I saw Zack, smirking I lifted the thing and he grinned, "Hey birthday girl."

My smile fell and I walked to my closet, "Don't remind me."

 "Come on Jenna it's your eighteenth birthday it's your time. You're free, it's your senior year, in two months you're gonna graduate and be out of this house. And on your own against the world, but for right now it's your time come on Jenna." He begged and my eyes flickered to his, his hair was long just below his eyebrows and his boyish features were gone all that was left was this perfect Zack smart and caring. Over the three years since Emma's been gone he's taken the responsibility of taking care of me.

 "I'm sorry you know how hard it is on our birthday."

He sighed, "I know it's okay Jenna I'm sorry, but hey I have a surprise for you."

 "I don't like surprises you know that."

He laughed, "Well too bad because this is already paid for and I'm not taking no for an answer."

He tickled my sides and I giggled, he reached for my iPod and pressed play Ever enough came on and slowly we began to sway from side to side. I laughed and he twirled me around and dipped me, he pretended to drop me and I burst out laughing and the door opened. Zack was still leaning over me and I was still upside down when Cory walked through the door, "What are you guys doing?"

We both smiled and he snickered, lifting me back up Zack scratched his neck, "Cory me and your sister were just preforming a birthday ritual where I go total Edward and Bella on her, I'm going to make her a vampire."

They both snickered and I rolled my eyes, "I watch the twilight movies because Andi has no other friends."

 "No you're her best friend and she loves you the most out of all of her friends." Zack smiled.

 "Whatever Cory do you have cologne on?" I asked and he blushed, Cory was now thirteen and in the eighth grade. He was young when Emma left so he didn't really have a hard time with the memories of Emma, but I could still tell he wished he could have done something back then.

 "Maybe..." He smiled and Zack ruffled his hair.

 "Aww little Cory has a crush and is trying to impress her." He laughed but I punched his shoulder.

 "Shut up, what's her name?"

He hesitated, "Hanna."

 "That's a cute name, but Cory girls don't like a guy who reeks of Axe. Ask Zack that's why he never gets laid."

Zack gasped, "Hey I get laid, I get laid all the time. You just don't remember."

 "Remember what?"
