Love&War (Justin Bieber fan fiction )

Chapter 13

"Happy birthday to you . Happy birthday to you . Happy birthday Gabriella . Happy birthday to you !" I smiled at the voices that were surrounding me . After they finished I bent over having Pattie hold my long straighten hair back from touching the cake preparing to blow out my candles. "Make a wish baby ." My mother whispered in my ear . I smiled . A wish . What could I possibly wish for that I don't already have ? I think I know..I wish my husband would love me or at least treat me better. After taking in the words I had said internally I blew out all 18 candles .

I clapped with others after I made my wish . I looked around the private room of the expensive resturant my father had reserved. I was glad to be surrounded with people I loved. Mom , dad , Pattie, Carly, Chaz, Alfredo, Scooter , Ryan, Jassy and Jaxon all were here to celebrate my special day.It made me happy that everyone was here , everyone well except Justin. Hell even Lil twist is here and I'm not really sure who invited him. I didn't really care too much for him . He was alright I guess, its just that when whenever Justin did his hard partying he was usually with him and Khail . I took my seat at the head of the long dinner table . "So hows it feel to be legal ?" Chaz asked he smiled looking down the table at me . "It feels oddly the same ." I laughed admittedly . Everyone laughed along with my comment . Cake was settled in front of each of us .

Vanilla cake with whipped icing was perfect . It was simple and I loved it. "Its a blessing that God let you live 18 beautiful years . So many young lives are taken away today today and its very unfortunate But not you , God has blessed us all with having you in our lives. I'm just happy that you made it this far and I know God has many more years to come for you ," Pattie sniffled . Oh no the water works . "Please don't Pattie ." I said getting up from my seat walking over to hug her . She hugged me back sobbing in my arms . There were a few "Awwww's" as we hugged one another . "If you keep crying I'm going to cry ." I smiled fighting the tears . This was so cute .

"Honestly Pattie you can be so emotional ." My mother laughed as she took a sip of her wine . Yes my mother wasn't one to show all those gushy emotions. Mom only showed "proud" or angry . Her feisty Latina attitude kept her from never backing down or showing anything involving fear, sadness , or even disappointment. In fact whenever there would be a death in the family my mother never shed a tear. She'd simply hide behind large, expensive, designer shades and said not a word .

"Come on honey let her be . She's just happy as we are that our little girls growing up ." My father said to my mother grinning at me holding up his wine glass before taking a whisk. I smiled at my father warm hearted . "That's right ! I'm just happy that she's grown up to be a beautiful young woman ," Pattie laughed before wiping away her remaining tears .

We all laughed .

"Hey Gabby where's Justin ?" Justin's little sister Jassy asked with her little mouth . The room fell silent . All eyes looked at me . I saw my fathers jaw tighten . I know throughout the whole course of dinner that people wondered but didn't dare to ask me about his whereabouts , at least not to my face . I looked down at my half eaten cake ."I'm not sure Jas . I seen him earlier today when Carly and I were hanging at the house but besides that I haven't ." I kept my head down as I heard some gasp . "Pattie where the hell is your son ? This is my daughters birthday , he most certainly better arrive !" My mother demanded. I could see Pattie shift nervously in her seat from the corner of my eye .

Justin's friends of course sat with a straight face avoiding eye contact with me . They already knew how Justin and I 's marriage was . As far as they knew we weren't even together , we only had a piece paper saying otherwise . Cause we certainly didn't act like we were together . "I'm sure there's a reason why Justin is late . Its very rude and I raised him better than this believe me!" Pattie assured before taking a drink of wine herself . I saw scooter take his phone out his pocket dialing a number. "Excuse me I'm going to try to get ahold of him right now. This is ridiculous ." Scooter excused himself than hurried out the room to try to reach Justin .

My father sat up in his seat looking deep in thought . I know he was probably thinking of many ways to punish Justin . "That snot nose husband of yours better get his ass here . Its already bad enough when we seen him earlier he didn't even say happy birthday ," Carly argued . I sent her death glare . Jesus did she want my parents to kill him ?? My parents looked at me both wearing shocked and angry expressions .

"I don't wanna have to hurt him ." My father said running his fingers through his grey hair . I seen Ryan and Chaz whisper to one another . "Gabriella is this true ? Justin didn't say happy birthday to his own wife, my only daughter ? Did he forget , lord knows he couldn't forget , its all over the media and she's his wife for God's sake !" I could tell my mother was furious . I didn't want any drama so I lied . "Carly don't be stupid Justin said happy birthday to me earlier this morning." I said softly . I tucked my hair behind me ear . Carly gave me the I-know-your-lying face . I smiled at her telling her in my head to shut the hell up . She must of read my mind because after she saw my face she shrugged her shoulders and continued eating her cake.

"That's nice but it still doesn't explain his absence to this family dinner ." My father said glancing between all of Justin's friends . "I hope this isn't some sick joke Justin's trying to pull because my little girl is very special to me and if he hurts her so help me god I know some guys that will take his ass -"

"No. No . No. I'm sure there's no need to jump to conclusions !" Pattie begged. We all knew my dad was serious . He was a big deal and could have anyone handled anyway he seen fit. Hearing my dad make deadly threats I know he would follow through with made my stomach flip over . I'm scared.

"Yeah Justin's probably at the studio trying to finish up before coming here ," Chaz tried to stick up for his friend . "Why would he be at the studio instead of at his wife's birthday dinner ?" My father crossed his arms and sat back in frustration . Justin's friends looked at each other for any ideas . Scooter came back in silently taking his seat . We all looked at him . "Well ?" My mother asked frantically . Scooter shifted his eyes and took a deep breath . "I couldn't reach him . I called several times and no answer ." We all shook our heads .

"Hey Justin just texted me . He said he's sorry for not making it. He had some bad sushi earlier and got food poison . But he said he'll make it up to you and when you get home ," Lil twist smiled at me after looking down at his phone I guess reading his text from Justin . That made the tension ease up a little . His mom looked worried . "Oh my , I hope he's okay . I should probably run over there and check up on him ," Pattie said already grabbing her purse . "No there's no need for that . Justin had a doctor come over and look at him .He's fine !" Lil twist insisted . Ryan looked at me giving me an apologetic look . I gave him a half smile .

"Sweetheart he better make it up to you ." My father said handing his plate of cake to the waitress for her to clear away . " Yes Gabriella you deserve the best and the world . Never settle for less !" My mom added typing away on her blackberry . "Sorry if your birthday was ruined ," Ryan said hanging his head down . I love him . But in a brother way . He always understood where I was coming from and tried to make me feel better . "No my birthday was great really guys . I enjoyed myself tonight and I'm thankful for you all ." I smiled .

"We're all going out tonight . Would you like to come ?" Alfredo asked me eating his now 2nd piece of cake . "No thanks . I think I'll just go home tonight." I wasn't feeling up to being in a packed sweaty club. Especially if my husband was home with food poison . "Aww come on its still a few hours before your birthdays over ," Chaz tried to convince.

"No I'm good I promise.You guys go without me." I assured standing up from the table . I started gathering my small bags of gifts together . "Are you sure ?" Ryan asked me before following the rest of his friends out. "Ryan please go out and have fun. Take a couple of shots back for me .i have a husband to take care Of .Ryan frowned at me for second before leaving . My birthday was nice with or without Justin .
