My so called easy life

Happy Birthday

🔥🏀Antoinette's POV🏀🔥

After we unpacked Blake's 'basic stuff', we sat on his bed and played AMS for about 20 minutes, but there wasn't much to ask since we've spent hours playing this over the phone before.

"You ready to go?" Blake asks.

"Yep. I need to stop by my place to get Aiden's present, my wallet, and Max's house key." I say standing up and putting on Blake's hoodie.

"Why do you need Max's house key?" He asks with a confused look.

"I have to bring it everywhere because I go there a lot and he always forgets it in his room. I basically live there." I say and laugh a little.

"Okay. Let's go." He says and we walk downstairs.

"Hey Blake! Where are you going?" His dad asks walking into the walkway.

"It's Aiden and Antoinette's birthday. Just going out with some people I talked to over the phone with." He says and slides on a pair of Nikes.

"Okay. Happy birthday." He says an gives me a side hug.

"Thanks." I say and hug him.

You see, I talked to his dad a lot too... When I was on the phone with Blake. So we're close I guess. The whole thing outside, that was us joking around. He has done some things, but It's ok I guess... Lets just say I don't judge because I've one bad shit and understand.

"Be home by 11 son." He says and lets me go.

"K. See ya." Blake says and we walk out the door.

I let Blake walk ahead a little then smirk and jump onto his back

"Oh shit!" Blake yells then catches my legs.

"Nice catch!" I say then ruffle his hair and chuckle.

"I forgot you couldn't giggle." He says and laughs.

"Shut up and get me to my house." I say and rest my head on top of his.

"How are you so happy Ari?" He says gently.

"I block it all in public." I say and shrug. He just nods and keeps walking.

"Happy birthday!" Martha yells from the kitchen. She walks out with a container. I don't he excited till I read it.

I jump off Blake's back and do a fist pumps in the air, "Yes!" I yell then walk over and grab it, it's my favorite; root beer cake. Sounds funny but its the fucking bomb.

"Thanks Martha!" I say then give her a quick side hug and I see a pained expression when she realizes I'm still calling her Martha.

"Anytime... Ummm..." She pauses and I put the cake on the bottom step and look at her for her to continue, "I kicked Charlie out..." She says and looks down.

I can't help the grin that spreads across my face. I just attack her in a big hug, "Is dad gonna come back now?" I ask still hugging her.

Here is something confusing, ok so... Charlie is only Aiden and my biological father, he and my mom split for a while, but between when Aiden and I were born and our 13th birthday, there was my dad. Well  Adam, Bryce and Kaiden's. But he was the only one I will ever call dad. My mom and him split up because of a reason that shall be told later on. And he had to leave. So she got back with Charlie thinking it would be good to have a father figure around. But he isn't and never will be my dad.

She silently nods and smiles while tears of joy show in her eyes.

"R-really?" I step back and can't help but the happy tears that slip down my cheeks.

"Y-yes." She pauses, "They all are Antoinette."

"YES! Does Aiden know?" I ask.

"Can you tell him? He doesn't know why your dad left. Please?" She begs and I can see fear and pain in her eyes. "I'm sorry for all that I have caused in the past but I promise to make up for it. I can't stand Aiden in pain or anything but happy and you are his only control right now. So please?"

"Yes..." I pause and smile again, "dads coming home!" I yell then jump to give Martha a hug and swing us in circle.

"K." She laughs and jumps down, "Go now. Aiden and the rest of the ball team already left. Sweets and stuff." I nod while smiling. I grab my cake and walk up to my room, set it down and and grab my things.

"What's going on?" Blake asks at my bedroom door.

"Long story. You know why my dad left and everything. Aiden doesn't know why he left. Aiden was really close with my dad. Closer then him and I. So when he left. Aiden didn't listen to anything. He yelled at my dad, didn't listen to a word he said. Then he locked himself in the room for weeks and when I tried to talk to him about it he would tell me to go away or shut up." I say then snap out of what ever trance I was just in and see Blake nod.

I just grab his arm and bring him down stairs. I toss everything into a black and green Under Armer back pack and we leave after a quick hug and bye to Martha.

After I introduced Blake, everyone was surprised then attacked him in middle of the shop. They all have talked with him because this is my team and we spend a lot of time together because of what we've been through together.

"Can we go over names one more time? And just to clear this up... Not all of them are on the school team but you guys grew up together and are your own street team?" Blake asks standing and looking at everyone.

"Yea... How'd you know all that?" Ale asks.

"We've been talking for 5 years dude." I said then stood to introduce everyone again.

"K. That's, Ale, Alex, Max, Caleb, Chris, Doug, Thomas, Anthony, Ian, Gary, and Collin. Then the one and only cheerleader-not so much- Layla!" I say in one big breath while pointing them all out.

"K. I got it." He says and smirks then sits down.

"Aiden we need to talk later." I whisper in his ear as I reach over to grab a root beer. He just nods, then smiles and walks over by Collin.

"Hey! Presents!"Max's mom says. She runs Sweets and Stuff (this shop) and is like my second mom. I call her mom sometimes(most of the time, almost everyone does, she's like all 12 of our's mom) actually.

"K." We all sit while Aiden and I open our presents from each other, then everyone else's.
