Stepbrother- A Why Don't We Imagine [DISCONTINUED]

Chapter 11

I was crying for what seemed like hours. I wanted to forget that this day ever happened. How could he forget? How could my own dad forget his daughter's 18th birthday? I thought over and over. Then I heard a tapping noise that took me out of my thoughts. I look around the room but see nothing, then I turn around to see him tapping on my window.

I go to the window and open it. He gives me a warm smile and I see him holding a bouquet of flowers.

Y: "Daniel? What are you doing here?", I asked him while letting him in and wiping my tears away.
D: "It's your birthday"
Y: "Yeah don't remind me", I said rolling my eyes. He gave me the flowers.
D: "I was going to give them to you earlier, but I couldn't find you. Happy birthday y/n".

I looked at the beautiful flowers, in the bouquet there was roses, sunflowers, and a card. I open the card and started reading it.

Happy birthday y/n! How does it feel to be 18? You're officially an adult, that's tough. All jokes aside, I hope this is the best birthday yet! I'm beyond great full to have met such an amazing person. You bring so much joy into my life and I thank you for that. Every time I see you, my face instantly lights up and fills with joy. I hope this birthday is as amazing as you are, beautiful!
   -Daniel

After I read the card I looked at him and then back at the card. When I looked back at the card I started crying again. But these tears weren't sad tears they were happy tears. Daniel wrapped his arms around me and I wrapped mine around him. I cried on his shoulder making his shirt wet but he didn't mind. We pull away and look at each other.

Y: "Thank you so much Daniel, this really made my day", I said with a smile.
D: "I have another gift", he said holding his index finger up.

He pulled a little rectangular box and opened it. Inside was this beautiful necklace with a little heart at the bottom. He turned the heart over to show me the back of it. On the back of the heart were engraved letters on it. I love you. I look up at Daniel and gave him a hug.

D: "Turn around so I can put it on you", he said.

I turned around and held my hair up for him to put the necklace on my neck. Once he finally put it on, I looked down at it and smiled. I turned back to him and all of a sudden his soft lips came crashing onto mine. At first I was so shocked and then when I realized what was going on, I closed my eyes and kissed back. It felt like fireworks were going off in my head. The kiss wasn't sloppy, it was passionate. After a couple of seconds we both pulled away and our foreheads were against each other.

Y: "Wow", I whispered.
D: "I'm sorry, I don't know what came over me", he said taking his forehead off mine. "I should go", he turned and started heading for the window.
Y: "Wait, Daniel", he turns around and I grabbed his face and kissed him.

We pull away and we smile at each other.

D: "Can I ask you something?", he asked raising an eyebrow.
Y: I nodded my head, "Shoot".
D: "Would you want to maybe, I don't know- never mind its stupid"
Y: "I'd love to", I said with a smile. He looked at me confused.
D: "How'd you know I was going to ask you to be my girlfriend?", he asked.
Y: I smirked, "I didn't, until now"

We both laughed and kissed again. When I'm with Daniel I'm the happiest girl in the world. He makes me feel safe and warm inside.

Daniel left and I came downstairs. The lights were still on but no one was in sight. I went into the kitchen to get something to eat and I see my dad. He was making something but he was blocking my view so I couldn't see what creation he was making. "Dad?", I whispered. He turns around holding my favorite thing ever, "hey kiddo, I made you your birthday breakfast". I go up to him and hug him. "Thank you, dad", I said. He put down my birthday breakfast and hugged me tight, "I'm so sorry sweetie" he said as we rocked back and forth. I didn't say anything, but I hugged him tighter indicating that I forgave him.

We pull out of the hug. "Why don't I light this sucker and you make a wish", he said. I nodded and he lit the candle. He softly sang 'happy birthday' to me. When he finished I closed my eyes and thought of a wish.

I wish that mom is happy up in heaven.

I open my eyes and blew out the candle. My dad and I smiled at each other. "Happy birthday y/n", he said and then kissed my cheek. We both sat down next to each other on the couch and we ate my birthday breakfast- well more like dinner- and we watched my favorite movie 'Deadpool'. We laughed so much during the movie. When the movie ended I looked over at my dad and saw that he fell asleep. I put a blanket over him and kissed his cheek, "I love you dad", I whispered. Then I headed upstairs quietly trying not to wake Zach and Myta. As I was about to go into my room Zach was coming out of his.

Z: "Happy birthday y/n". I smiled and looked down at his hands. He was holding a new pair of sick cleats. "Soccer tryouts are coming up and I thought you'd like a new pair of cleats". I hugged him.
Y: "Thank you Zach"

We said goodnight to each other and went back to bed. Honestly, after everything that happened today, it was a great birthday. But it would've been even better if my mom was here. And she was, she was looking down at me wishing me happy birthday. And I know she's proud of me.
