Jens pov
I was getting ready for Sofia's birthday party. I just wore ripped jeans, a loose top and heels. My hair was hair up half down and my makeup was light. I barely tried but I still look good. Then I got Emme ready in my room.
I helped her with and outfit then I did her hair. I did it the same way as mine so we would twin. "Are you excited? You'll finally see sofia out of school" I tell Emme while she's standing in front of my mirror playing with slime. "Yeah. I hope she likes the present I made her." "We bought her the present. What do you mean by make?" "I drew her a picture of us. Me, her, you and her mom" her mom? Leah? Why? Emme you're crazy. "Why me and Leah?" "Because you two are best friends" "Oh-well..wheres the picture?" "In my room" "Okay show me after"
I continue getting her ready. After we were both ready we went down stairs to leave. I really don't want to go to this party but this is for Emme. I'll just hang out alone.
Once we got there I already saw a lot of cars parked and all the balloons everywhere. It was at a hall in the park and the playground was right by it. We walked inside and I was stunned. It's fully decorated. Leah went all off on that. I never knew she was good at that.
Now I have to say hi to Leah's and sofia since we got here. I don't want to but it'll just be weird if I walk in without saying anything.
"Here give the present to Sofia when we find her" I tell Emme and give her the gift bag. I got her something I know she'd like. I bought it when I was still with Leah. It was that thing she wanted when we went to the store together but Leah couldn't buy it for her at the time. It's some Barbie thing. I don't know I just bought what I saw her want. Hopefully she still wants it.
"There she is!" Emme says and runs to Sofia and I look and leah is with her too. Damn she looks good. Such a hot mom.
I walk over to them and force a smile to leah.
"Hey you made it!" She says and reaches her arm out for a hug. I go with it and give her a side hug. Emme and Sofia were full on hugging. "Yes of course we would" I say. "Here give her the present Emme"
"Oh Yeah here happy birthday!!" Emme says and hands her the present"
"Aw thank you!"
"Open it now!" Emme says and Sofia opens it. She was shocked. "Oh my- no way!!" She says and looks at Emme. "Thank youuuu!!" She hugged her again. "It was mommy's idea" Emme said. "Oh thank you Jennifer!! I love it!"
I squatted down and she hugged me tight. "You're welcome baby happy birthday" I smile and let go then stand back up.
"Emme you want to go with me to the playground?" "Yes!! Mommy come with us!" Emme says and they go outside leaving me and Leah. I was to folloe but Leah stopped me.
"Thanks for coming" "I only came for Sofia but you're welcome" I say and leave to go outside and watch the girls play with some other kids from the same party.
I stood here for about 15 minutes and it was hot. The heat gets me irritated but I don't want to walk back inside alone looking for people I know. I'll wait for Emme.

Leah's pov
I'm glad Jen came and got sofia that present. I know she felt bad that day that I told sofia I couldn't get it and I told jen not to buy her anything but she still did. She looks really good today. I'm kinda sad she said she's just here for Sofia. I was looking forward for her to come.
My whole family was here but they don't know Jennifer. I feel like I don't need to tell them about her anymore unless it's brought up because we aren't together anymore
Later, it was time for the cake. My cousin called all the kids who were outside to come in for the cake. Once they were inside sofia came to me by the cake with Emme while everyone else surrounded us. I don't know why Emme came with her when this is for Sofia but I just ignored it. But then Emme went up to the cake and tried reaching for it.
"Emme!" Someone yells. Turns out it was Jen. She grabbed Emme and pulled her away from the crowd. Emme started to cry about it and jen carried her. I don't know what she was saying to Emme but she was talking and emme just kept crying. I always feel bad whenever Emme cries. Even if it's Emme who isn't listening to Jennifer. I try not to pay attention since they're behind the crowd and everyone's looking this way.
Everyone started singing happy birthday to sofia while Jen and emme were outside. After they sung, my mom helped me cut the cake and pass it out to everyone. I got around half of the hall while my mom got the other half. Then I went outside to see if there was any people out there which there were so I gave them cake on a plate. Then I saw jen squatting down in front of Emme at the playground talking to her. I walked up to them shyly because I didn't know if I should or shouldn't go but I did.
"Do you two want some cake?" I ask and emme nods her head yes while sniffling. "Sorry I tried touching the cake Leah" she says to me sadly. Awww. "Oh no it's okay sweetie! Don't worry about it" I said and give her a smile and hand her the plate. "Mommy said it wasn't right to do that" "hmm..well mommy was just making sure you don't get hurt or anything. The cake was big. It could fall if someone moves it" I tell her. "Oh okay then" she says and looks at jen. "Sorry mommy" jen sighs and stands up. "It's okay baby. Go eat your cake then we're going"
"You're leaving already?"
"Yeah"
"Two hours only?"
"We have to be somewhere else. Some family party" she says looking straight at me. "Oh..Okay then" she fakes a smile then looks back down at Emme. Tomorrow's my birthday and all I want is to be happy. But now I'm just thinking about her who's right in front of me. I won't see her tomorrow. I won't be able to celebrate with her. I really should've thought about everything before I cut it off with her.
After Emme finished the cake she stood up and looked at us handing one of us the plates. I couldn't tell who. It looked more towards me but jen ended up taking it and throwing it in the trash.
"Say bye to Leah" she told Emme. Emme looked up at me and reached her arms out jumping a little. Does she want me to carry her? It looks like it but I don't know if jen wants that. I just went down and hugged her but Emme hung onto me. I guess that's a yes to carrying.
"Emme we gotta go. Let's go say bye to Sofia now."
"How about the other parents?" I ask her while carrying Emme. " I barely talked to any of them" "why?" "I just didn't feel like talking to anyone today" she says and I hear the sass. "Oh okay."
I lead them to Sofia inside and they say bye to her. "When can me and emme hang out?" Sofia asks jen and jen looks at me. "Ask your Mom" "Yeah but-" "we'll plan a day sofia." I interrupt. "Okay yay!!" "Bye leah" Jen says to me "bye" I smile but she doesn't and we give a side hug again and she leaves. I watched her leave even though sofia started to bug me
"Mom! Are they coming with us to breakfast tomorrow?!" "No they aren't Sofia." "Oh.."
I really hate myself for all this and I don't know if I should fix it or just let it go.
