"ARDEN ROSEEEEEEEEE! WAKE UP" the boys all yell, i jolt up.
i place my hand over my chest, "guuuyyyss," i whine, "stop doing that!" i laugh.
"here you go." zach hands me five envelopes, and daniel and corbyn hand me a medium sized box.
i cross my legs, the pat the bed allowing them to jump on. which all of them do.
i begin to open one of the envelopes, but jonah gently snatches it out of my hand, "open the box first, then you can open all the envelopes while we're not in here." i nod.
i start to unwrap the box, which was wrapped in brown wrapping paper and wrapped pretty well. (can i say wrapped/wrapping/wrap one more time?)
as i open the lid, there's a note,
"to Arden, we hope you don't drop this one. -wdw"
i look at them questionably, they all shrug while smiling.
i take the note out and there's a phone, a completely new iphone.
"oh," i say.
"what's wrong?" "is there something wrong?" "are you okay?" they all start to ask.
"no, it's just, i cannot accept this." i reply, packing the phone back into the box.
"no, you can accept this, and you will." jack says firmly.
i hold my finger up, meaning that i'll take a second, then i grab my original phone then show them this.
they all burst out laughing, as well as i.
"EVEN HE SAYS I HAVE A NOODLE HEAD." jack says while crossing his arms, i lean over to him to pinch his cheek.
"well, at least you haven't done this." i say holding up my phone to show another video.
"do you have them cued up?" daniel says while laughing.
then i show him this video.
they continue to laugh.
"okay, so you'll keep the phone. we'll be downstairs while you read our letters." jonah says.
they all head down.
i start with a random letter and it's from zach.
to, the birthday queen.
happy birthday gurllllll, i've got a surprise today for us, (it's a girls trip) and we are gonna watch mamma mia!
YASSSS! i heard you talking about it when you thought nobody was listening, so we gonna have some fun!
i love being sassy, can you tell? probably.
anyways, happy birthday ard, and i hope you don't break jacks heart, because he rlly likes you. okay bye, love you.
i laugh at his letter, it sure was sassy. except i didn't really understand the last bit.
i pick the next one and it was jonah's.
happy birthday to you happy birthday to you happy birthday dear ardennnn happy birthday to you! hip hip horayyyyy!
i hope you like the phone, i chose it for you because i'm great at getting birthday presents and it was totally not because the other boys couldn't decide which colour you should get.
i hope you have a good birthday and you go on another date with jack. (i saw it on instagram, you guys ain't slick) anyways #jardenforlife, even though i'm a #jachary shipper.
but don't try to come @ me and daniel because #donah is the best ship.
okay bye i'll talk to you in like a few minutes. love youuuuu
