"What?! What do you mean that you can get the cake ready?! I told you to have it ready by this week!!!" The baker then tells me some lame excuse on how busy they were, know damn well that they promised to have the damn cake ready!
"You know what, you guys can go fuck yourself!" I hung up my phone and threw it on my bed. I started to pace around my room as I started to scratch my head (a habit I do when I'm nervous or panicking).
"Ailina...don't you think that you're overreacting a little bit?" Mitchie states looking at me worried. I turned to glare at her. "Of course I'm not! This is his eighteenth birthday I'm talking about! I want this to be special!" I sat on my bed and rubbed my face.
Why am I freaking out, you asked? Well today is Jin's birthday and everything is not going according to plan for his birthday party....
I wanted to make this day special for him! But it's not going my way so far.
"Why are you doing so much for him anyways? I'm pretty sure Jin doesn't want you to kill yourself over him." Mitchie says while crossing her arms.
That's the thing! Throughout our whole relationship, it seems like Jin was the more loving, giving and caring one while I was just along for the ride! Never once had we switched positions!
Not answering my friend's question I stood up and said, "I'm going to the cafe and make the cake myself." And I left my room without another word.

"Ah! That's perfect!" I stepped back and looked at the cake before me.

It's a red velvet cake. My baby's favorite! I looked at my phone for the time and smiled. "Perfect timing! He should be here soon and everyone would be done with the decorations!" With a smile, I walked out of the kitchen with the cake. Once I went into the main room, my smile fell and was replaced with shock.
"WHAT HAPPENED HERE?!" The place was a mess! Balloons were on the floor, the streamers were all scattered horribly and the banner was painted so messy, you couldn't even tell it said "Happy Birthday Jin"!
My mom walked towards me with a sad smile. "Sorry sweetie, but the cafe was so busy, we had to rush decorating." I sat the cake on a nearby chair and rubbed my temples. "It's fine, Momma. Did you at least get the gift. It'sthe picture?"
My mom nods and calls my brother's name. "Chase, bring down the picture!" Chase then comes in running with the picture and not paying attention.
"You this pic—" Chase then trips on the chair where the cake was located and falls. The picture fell out of his hands and landed on the cake.
I just stared at what just happened. Not being able to move....
