Chapter 12

"... Jesus Christ..." Wendy replied.

"You're telling me."

"Does it hurt?" She asked, moving her finger up to touch my nose.

I put my hand in front of her finger. "Yes and you poking it isn't gonna make it better."

She dropped her hand. "Sorry."

"So, birthday girl, you excited?" Blake chimed in.

"I'm turning twenty-three, what's the big deal?"

"Uh, it's your birthday?" Wendy replied.

"I still don't see the appeal in celebrating one year closer to death." I said.

"You're cold." Blake replied.

My phone went off, interrupting the conversation I didn't wanna have.

I Read the text from Rebecca. "Happy bday. My shift ends in 5"

I sent a quick reply and stood from my seat.

"I'll see you losers in a couple hours." I said as I left Twist and headed towards the diner...

"What happened to your nose?" Rebecca asked after getting in the passenger seat.

"It's a long story." I replied.

"Did you win?"

I smirked. "Of course I won."

We chuckled and pulled out of the parking lot, heading towards our first destination.

"So, what's the plan?"

"I figure we'll go see my parents, then dinner, then party at Twist."

She smiled. "Sounds good to me."

I nodded and made my way towards my house.

We walked into my house, but the lights were off and no one seemed to be home.

I opened my mouth to speak, when the lights suddenly shot on.

"Happy birthday!" Everyone shouted in unison, I nearly jumped out of my skin.

"What the hell?!" I squealed, looking around at everyone.

My mom, dad, Wendy, Blake, Beth, and Stephanie stood in front of me, all wearing matching birthday hats.

"What's this supposed to be?" I asked

"A surprise party. Duh." Rebecca replied.

"I thought my party was at Twist?" I asked, a little confused.

"That's the after party." Blake replied.

I glared at Wendy. "I know this was your doing."

She raised her hands in fake surrender. "Normally you'd be right, but I didn't plan this."

"I did." Rebecca replied.

I let out a heavy sigh as she put a birthday hat on my head.

   "You're lucky you're cute." I said, giving her a quick kiss before making my way over to my family and friends.

I gave everyone a quick hug and thanks before we officially started the party...

After about an hour of music and "fun" it was time to open gifts.

I sat down at the kitchen table as everyone placed their gifts in front of me.

"Thanks guys, but you really didn't have to do all of this."
