" SURPRISE ! "  " HAPPY BIRTHDAY ARIANA ! "

the crowd of friends chanted as the lights turned on
and the door opened meaning
ariana's entered her surprise birthday party
& her reaction was genuine,
it hadn't been a happy birthday at all.

" my whole heart, thank you all so much. " ariana appreciated the crowd of friends around her but she couldn't help but feel embarrassed and feel like it was a pity party
everyone in that room knew her situation with isaiah

" now tell me were you surprised? " ki [ skies ]asked as ariana finished saying hi to everyone

" i really had no idea. " ariana shared a smile

" good, i know you're not in the mood to but you turn 22 tonight and you're with people who love and care about you!" ki made the effort to make things peaceful tonight

" i know, i know. now let's go dance please? "

skies was ariana's rock through this whole situation with isaiah and only wanted ariana to have a smile and forget about the pain for a while but not to numb it from drugs and alcohol which ariana wouldn't consume either way but by having fun with her close rapper friends

" i love seeing all of us together in one room. " ariana smiled as the south flordia crew was in a circle to greet one another

" my ana. " omar [ purpp ] pulls her into a hug,
only the south florida crew calls her ana

" hey omar. " she smiles

as the rest chime in yelling her name to say hi again

" i thought i already said hi to y'all. "

" you know i love greeting you. " pump laughs

" you know that oversized crew neck looks good on you. " jarad [ juice ] smiles

" you know damn well i didn't even know where i was going and how dressed up i should have gotten. " ariana covers her face

" were joking, your oversized clothes are your thing and we would never change anything about you. " nahmir winked

" okay okay, i love talking to all of you but can we continue dancing? "

" don't have to ask twice homegirl ! " stokely [ ski mask ] yelled and raised the volume

the next 2 hours were filled with fun dancing with the boys who she cherished their friendship at all times
also tons of snacking and water breaks
as gazzy even took off his shoes to make no crease

the clock hitting midnight was coming close
but she was in hope for someone to arrive,
and he did —no not isaiah but jah

" ariana! " jah called out her name loudly enough as he could as the music was loud and she jumped on him

she hadn't seen him in what felt like months and couldn't help but hug the heck out of her closest friend

" it feels good to see you again. " the two said in a unison

and then he started to greet the rest of the guys when realized isaiah wasn't here but he understood sometimes they were on the rocks but he was always there even if they were mad, especially for her birthday at least

" where's isaiah? " he whispered in her ear

" CAKE TIME " everyone yelled

her heart had dropped, she actually hadn't heard his name
in the couple of days and she really didn't feel like having 20+ cameras recording her blowing out that candle
for a wish that might not even happen

she hoped he would show right about now but maybe it's too late and maybe he already made his decision and she wasn't the one. but before she realized, she was sitting in front of the red velvet cake that had a collage of pictures of her and the guys.

" remember to make a good wish! " jah smiled

the clocked hit 12,
and so they sang and the flash turned on

" HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ARIANA,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU ! "

but it was still not a happy birthday
