"Phoebe hurry up!" Kailey said.

"I'm hurrying as fast as I can!" I said.

     Right now I was in my room getting ready to go to the club. Tomorrow was Noah and my 18th birthday. It was going to be the first one we celebrated together since our third one. Noah, Kailey, Johnny, Braxton, and I were going to a club to celebrate then tomorrow we were going to have a party with all of our friends. After I was finished I went downstairs where Kailey and Noah were waiting.
     We hopped in Noah's car and drove to where Johnny and Braxton was. I got out of the car and walked over to Braxton. He leaned down and pecked my lips. The five of us made our way to the club and by passed everyone in line. Noah and I didn't even need fake id's.
     The perks of being a police deputy chief's child, plus Braxton's dad is the chief so either way we were good. Once we were in we all split up. Braxton and I went one way, Noah and Kailey went another way, and Johnny went to the bar.

"Are you excited about your birthday?" Braxton asked.

"Yeah. I can't wait to celebrate with Noah." I said.

"So you don't want to celebrate your birthday with me?"

"Of course I do."

"So what do you want for your birthday?"

"Nothing."

"Well I'm still getting you something whether you wanted it or not."

"You don't have to get me anything. If you're going to get me something get something for the boys."

     I don't remember how long we stood in the club, but we enjoyed ourselves.

****

"Do we have everything on the list?" Noah asked.

"Yup." Kailey said.

     I couldn't wait to start our party.

"People should be arriving in a few minutes." Noah said.

     The party was suppose to start an hour ago but we knew that they'd show up late. Braxton grabbed my hand and lead me to the backyard.

"What?" I asked confused.

"I just wanted to do this before everyone shows up." he said.

     He wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed me. I pulled away and smiled at him.

"Let's hope that lasts." I said.

     I went back inside and saw that some of the guests had arrived. Only our friends and family knew that it wasn't just Noah's birthday. Everyone would know soon though. After a while more people showed up and the house was packed. Johnny was at the front of the room near the dj booth with the mic in his hands.
     He signalled for the dj to stop the music and he did.

"Alright we all know why we're here but still let's welcome up the birthday people." Johnny said smiling.

     Everyone was looking around confused muttering. Noah and I made our towards our brother.

"Welcome my brother and sister Noah and Phoebe Thorne. The birthday twins." Johnny said.

     They were looking at us in shocked more specifically me. Once the shock had worn of they cheered and wished us happy birthday.

"That's it enjoy the party." Johnny said signaling for the dj to start up again.

     I wanted to go dance with Braxton but of course I couldn't do that.

"Hey Phoebe." Kyle said.

"Hi Kyle." I said.

"Wanna dance?"

"No thanks."

"Come on it's your birthday."

"Yeah but I'm not in the mood to dance."

"You should have at least one dance."

"And she will with me." a new voice said.

     I looked behind me and saw Steve. You gotta love Steve. He's a lifesaver.

"And you are?" Kyle asked a hint of anger in his voice.

"O Phoebe you didn't tell him sweety? I'm her fianceé." Steve said.

"What?"

"Yeah he's my fianceé." I said.

"And you are?" Steve asked.

"Kyle." he said.

"Well Kyle is it? Stay away from my girl." Steve said in a threatening voice.

"Come on babe let's go away from here." I said.

     I grabbed Steve's arm and dragged him away.

"Thank you Steve." I said.

"You're welcome." he said.

     I hope Kyle really leaves me alone now.

"So have you and lover boy planned your wedding yet?" Steve asked.

"No but I want a simple wedding. Maybe I'll ask Braxton if we can just go down to the courthouse this weekend." I said.

"Yea now go dance with lover boy I'll be your guard."
