Chapter Twelve

Chapter Twelve

            “Wakey,wakey, eggs and bakey!” A high-pitched voice screams into my ear. I shoot up and hit my head on something hard. “Oww!” The same voice squeals in pain as I finally open my eyes to reveal, a very pained, Alli. “And a simple get up wouldn’t suffice because?” I question in a dry tone. Alli shrugs, rubbing her red and swollen forehead. “I thought it would be more entertaining.” Nodding I voice back in a sarcastic manner, “Yeah, because I find it hilarious to have my forehead hit by yours.” There was an awkward silence and we exchanged looks. Suddenly, we both burst into catatonic laughter.

            “Did you see the look on your face when-“ I nod as she gasps between chortles. “And how your face was like-“ She nods along as we both continue our feminine giggling. Instantly, the door swings open and there stands a very distressed looking Greyson. For some reason, my mind insists on bringing up last night’s conversation with Alli. As Greyson looks me over before smiling, I wonder if what Alli said could possibly be true. Alli seems to notice this and raises her perfectly shaped eyebrows. Shaking it off, I greet Grey.

            “Morning, Greyson.” I greet perkishly and hug him, my arms wrapping around his waist and his arms meet mine. “Morning, sweetie” He whispers into my hair. Sweetie, why did he have to use the same words Alli used last night? We pull away and I run my fingers through his hair, which was currently sticking up in various places. He scrunches his nose at my gesture and mutters, “I know, I need to fix my hair. Especially, since today is something very special.” He smiles and winks at me before the rest of the Simpson family walks in the door.

            Angie walks in holding a plate with a big slice of birthday cake on it with a green birthday candle protruding from it. She smiles at me warmly before saying, “Happy Birthday sweetie.” I stare in awe as Cody and Brad follow behind her. Brad is holding a video camera and Tom a bouquet of roses. “Oh my gosh guys! This is way too much” I respond truthfully. Honestly, this was probably the biggest thing that had ever happened for my birthday in the history of my lifetime.

            “Well, if you think this is too much just wait until tonight.” Greyson whispers in my ear, and that’s when I notice his arm casually thrown around my shoulder. Uncomfortable, I move out from under his grasp and hug Angie and Brad. They smile and hold out the cake for me to make a wish. Of course, I blow, exterminating the continual glow of the candle. Inside I make a wish for one thing and one thing only, for Emma to get better.

            Suddenly, everyone breaks into song singing happy birthday and I smile widely. “Thanks guys!” I state graciously. “You’re welcome babe,” Cody responds winking. I feel my face turn bright red and Alli clears her throat. Brad looks from Cody to I, as does Angie. “So, now it’s time for my birthday present!” Tom jumps up on top of the bed so he reaches my height. He looks me in the eyes and passes over the roses. There were twelve in all. “This my dear, is for every hour I loved you!” Greyson starts laughing crazily and Angie chuckles. Of course, Cody picks up Tom beneath his armpits and drags him off to his room. “Thank you Tom!” I shout down the hallway as I hear his cries against it. “Anytime babe!” Is what I get in response.

            “I don’t know if I can top that,” Alli begins. “But today, my birthday gift is I’m taking you on a shopping spree!” She squeals excitedly and I hug her. Plastering a smile on my face I thank her even though shopping isn’t necessarily my forte. There is an awkward silence in the room before Alli claps her hand. “Well, you’re not gonna’ get dressed in front of everyone are you? Out!” Instantly, she ushers everyone out of my room as I take a bite of my birthday cake. I know, healthy breakfast right?
