Happy Birthday To Me.

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you" Mamma sang as she walked into my room with breakfast on a tray. A big smile plastered on my face I covered my face with my hands from blushing. "Thank you so much mamma! As she sits the food down I give her a big tight hug.

"My baby's growing up" She said as she wiped a few tears, my mom could be so dramatic at times.

"Ma! Don't cry. We're suppose to stay happy today, whatchu got planned?" I say, I just told mamma that she could plan the party because I didn't have anything in mind. I've never been really big on my birthday just because that's the day my daddy left for whatever reason.

"Well were gonna get our nails done, and yes your allowed to wear acrylic nails now, then we're gonna have a big party downtown!" She says. Even though it wasn't much, I was still grateful because I'm living another day that wasn't promised.

"Alright, I'm gonna get dressed." I say, I began eating the bacon, eggs, grits, and French toast that she made for me. I wasn't used to a breakfast like this so I of course dug in. When I was done, I washed my plate out.

"RAIN, COME HERE!" Mamma called me from upstairs I ran upstairs to see what she wanted, "yea?" I ask.

"I bought you a outfit to wear." She says pointing to a bag from forever 21 I hate that place I thought to myself, but I was going to be grateful because there clothes are super exspensive.

"Thank you, ma." I smile widely before exiting her room. Anyways, I took a pink cropped top, high waist ripped shorts, and a pink see-thru button up, with pink gladiator sandals out the bag. I normally wouldn't wear this, but whatever.

"Oh nana what's my name? Oh nana what's my name?" Rihanna blasted threw the speakers at my party, I was really enjoying myself but I was eager to see my presents. And the more exciting part is my family from Chicago came to see me for my birthday, I feel so loved.

"How ya like your party?" Ashley asked I was on the dance floor dancing by myself like no body was watching.

"It's so fun! Thanks for coming" I smiling, she gives me a hug and walks off, momma approaches the stage.

"I wanna say thank you all for coming to my baby's 13th birthday party, this means a lot. But now I'm sure Rain wants to open her presents!"

We all gathered around the shed.

"Okay, Rain your growing up and I know you've been wanting a phone.." She hands me a small box I tear the paper revealing a IPHONE 5s.

"Oh my god, mamma thank you!" I squeal hugging her tight. This was something I've been wanting since I was 11.

The rest of my presents were clothes & stuff. I appreciated everything, but I still wanted one thing.

"Mama... I wanna know about my father."
