Back to you

my 13th

12/12/2018

I woke up at 5 am, I was too excited to sleep, today is the day I've been waiting for, my 13th birthday. I grabbed my remote for my tv and turned it on, Friends was on, I used to watch it all the time but not so much anymore. I love Jennifer Aniston I was obsessed with her, people would tell me I looked like her but I didn't see it. Whenever they said it, my parents would look at each other with a worried kind of look on their faces same as whenever I brought her up, it was weird. I was born a few months after Brad and Jen finalised their divorce, I was obviously too young to care or even know what was going on but now that I am old enough to know what happened it makes me sad, I miss them together they were so cute and such a good couple.

Time had flown by and it was already 6:30 am I got up out of bed and walked out of my room and went to the bathroom to brush my teeth and wash my face then went into the kitchen to find my parents sitting at the dining table

"Happy birthday Leilani" my mum and dad said with a lot of enthusiasm

"Thank you" I walked over to the table and took a seat

"So, What are we doing today?" I asked

"Well um we're gonna be packing today sweetie"

Packing? Packing to go where? Are we moving house? It's my birthday why would we be packing? Aren't you meant to do something fun on your birthday?

"Packing? What do you mean" I was so confused

"Well we thought that we would go to America for your birthday" my dad said with a worried kind of look

"H..how long are we going for" I said with a lot of confusion

"Um we...we're not sure, Okay no more questions from now on everything's a surprise"

What did he mean by "everything's a surprise"

"Umm ok, s..so when do we leave?"

"We leave tomorrow honey, So you better get packing" my mum said

"Alright"

I got up from my seat and walked down the hall into my bedroom, I walked over to my bedside table and took my phone off charge. I had heaps of messages from my friends and family saying happy birthday, I logged into my phone and FaceTimed Liliana.

"Hi Leilani happy birthday" Liliana shouted

"Thank you"

"So what are you doing today"

"Packing"

"Packing?"

"Yeah apparently I'm going to America tomorrow"

"WHAT, you're going to America TOMORROW"

"Yeah I know that was my reaction, so I have to pack all day today"

"Oh well, do you want me to hang up and let you pack?"

"Nah you can stay on, hold on let me get my suitcase"

"Alright"

I walked out of my room to the lounge room, I was going to get the keys to go out to the garage to get my suitcase but it was in the lounge room, so I grabbed it and took it to my room. I put it on my bed and opened it. I walked over to my dresser and got some shirts.
