With You (Skrillex)

Closed In

Sonny's EP was flying up the charts and he was being contacted about doing several remixes and help producing. I was happy for him and he was beyond excited to be working with so many new people. His career was exploding and he deserved all of it. 

I threw Kristen the baby shower of the century. It was good timing too because now we were planning for my birthday that was coming up in a month. Sonny's was right around the corner and he was flying home in a few days to celebrate with friends. 

As a twisted punishment for missing so much work, they gave the bottom of the pick events. It was making me mad that I wasn't doing much of anything significant and one of my bosses specifically shoots me dirty looks every time I show up to the office. So mature. I was at my breaking point where I was starting to shoot the same look back, which was incredibly unprofessional and mature but like I said, I was at my breaking point. 

My dad usually did the birthday planning with me. He thought birthdays were a big deal and they needed to be big. I agreed. My birthday, and maybe Christmas, are the only times I somewhat abuse the rich kid life. I worked hard all year though so I deserved one night, you know?

So after a shit day of work I decided to call my dad and go over some things. My birthday fell on a Friday this year which was perfect. 

We went over venue ideas and a guest list which consisted of a lot of pompous rich kids from close family friends but find me a rich kid that didn't love a good party so I knew a ton of people were going. 

What I was most excited was that Sonny was playing in Sacramento the night we were thinking about doing it so I knew he would have time to fly down here and catch the tail end of it. I called him after I finished up some things with my dad. He didn't answer which wasn't all that surprising so I shot him a text and told him to call me when he had the chance. 

"Hello?" I heard Todd's voice followed by the front door closing. 

"Hey. In here." I said from the kitchen table. He appeared in the walkway accompanied by Kristen. 

"What are you up to?" He asked as he opened the fridge. "You want anything to drink, babe?" 

"No thank you." Kristen said as she sat next to me at the table. 

"I'm planning my birthday." I explained.

"That's coming up soon!" He cracked open a soda and sat on the other side of me, across from Kristen. 

"Mhm." I hummed.

"What if the baby comes on the same day?" He laughed. Kristen's due date was about a week after my birthday. I know it was supposed to be funny but the idea kind of annoyed me. I felt terrible for getting annoyed by that but I couldn't help myself. 

Kristen stood up and announced she was going to bed early since she was tired. Todd got up to help her and I felt like vomiting at how adorable they were. They were totally in love which was great since they were having a kid together. 

I changed out of my work clothes and went back to my laptop at the kitchen table. I already had a gift set up for Sonny so I checked on the status on that since it was a custom order and then I went back to planning my party. I was putting lists together and checking on all the little details. I clearly was so wrapped up in my planning I didn't even notice the time until I got a text and my phone lit up. 

"You up?" From Sonny. It was currently 3:40 in the morning. How had I not noticed the time at all?

"Yes." I sent back and my phone was ringing shortly after. 

"Hey." I answered.

"Why are you always up so late?" He asked with a snicker. 

"I couldn't tell you." I sighed.
