Happy Birthday to WTFUhhNO this chapter is dedicated to you sweetie. Hope you enjoyed your day!!!!

"Come on bro."

"No."

"Dude seriously?"

"No."

"Don't you love her?"

"Yes."

"So why not?"

"No."

"Ugh."

"Why don't you do it?"

"Because she's not my girlfriend and its not her birthday tomorrow."

"Ugh. I don't want to."

"Bro it's Izzy's birthday. Just do it for her."

"Ugh. Fine. But you're gonna have to play the piano for me."

"Fine with me."

Shouyu convinces Riku to sing for Ezra for her birthday. Shouyu and Riku inherited a special gift from their mother. Her talent for singing. Yuri's voice is the voice of an angel. Shouyu and Riku are no different. As a matter of fact, Shouyu and Riku are in the weight room rehearsing when Jai and Zhang sneak in...

"Show anyone that damn video and I will kill you both." Riku snaps at the two laughing friends. Zhang holds his phone back up and watches the video again. "Takari you're actually a whole lot better than you may think you are. Man, your vocals chords and lungs are powerful as hell."

Jai looks at Riku, "Right. Man you can hit notes that most women can't even dream to topple. And that's saying something."

Shouyu slaps his brother on the shoulder. "Bro. Don't worry. Ezra will love it. I swear it to you."

The next day, Ezra is blindfolded by Amari and Reina. "Seriously, where the fuck are you guys taking me?"

Reina says, "Chill Izzy. It's not like we're setting you up for failure. This is for your own good."

Amari adds, Right. "What kind of friends would we be if we put you in harm's way?"

Ezra deadpans, "Apparently my kind of friends because that's what I'd do to you. Is this payback from all the times I teased you guys about your boyfriends?"

Reina's eyes widen, "You know what? I forgot all about that. Now this is personal."

Ezra panics and tries to get loose. "Okay. I'm sorry. I'm so so so sorry guys. I didn't mean it. It was a joke. It won't happen again. Guys I...uh...come on girls you can all take a joke right?"

Keiri scoffs, "Izzy, we ALL know you're lying. You find complete pleasure in making our lives as miserable as possible." "Okay well you have a point. But still..." Ezra responds before being sat down into a chair while still blindfolded.

The girls walk away as Ezra still sits there lost in space as she doesn't know what's going on. That is until she hears soft music playing.

"Wait...is that Chandelier by Sia?" she asks confused. Then she hears one of the most beautiful voices ever singing the song.
