This Is Our Year.

Chapter Three: Birthday.

The day had arrived. It was my birthday. But I had woken up in a pretty bad mood because my parents hadn't arrived and I had no news about where they were. Which also meant I couldn't go to Allianz to meet everyone. Everything seemed to just be an effort this morning, even reaching for my phone. The clock read half eleven. Fuck. How had I slept this late? Oh well it's my birthday. I got up and got dressed, red jeans, black top, red scarf; and then did my make up. Once I had finished sorting myself out I walked downstairs and into the living room.

"Happy 18th Birthday darling!" exclaimed my mum.

"Mum!? Dad!?" I said shocked that they were stood in front of me.

"Happy Birthday!" exclaimed Lottie and Lexi who were sat on the sofa.

"Thanks guys!" I replied as I sat down on the sofa opposite them with my parents.

"Open mine!?" suggested Lex and practically chucked her present at me.

"Okay!" I said catching the carefully wrapped gift. I opened the card first and screamed when I saw the front. It was a picture of me stood with Owen.

"How did you do this!?!" I exclaimed.

"You shall never know!" she replied. I gave her a look and then smiled as I began opening the present.

"Oh my god it's a Saracens teddy!!" I said excitedly as I threw wrapping paper at her.

"Me next!" announced Lottie and gave me her present and card. I opened the card which had butterflies on the front.

"Aw that's lovely!" I said. I then proceeded to open the present. It was the new Saracens top for this season.

"Oh my god! Thank you babe!" I exclaimed as I unfolded it.

"I knew you'd like it!" she replied smiling.

"Now, our present, you can't open it and you can't keep it here." mum explained.

"What?" I said puzzled.

"But it's all explained in here" said Dad and handed me an envelope. I took it from him and opened it. On this piece of paper was some clues, I read them allowed...

"Fast, powerful and strong,

Many awards have been won,

Red has been the colour for so long,

We are number one."

"What the hell?" I said really confused.

"You'll see a bit later but now we need to go to Allianz Park, they want to meet your father and I as we are the biggest sponsor" said my mum. I couldn't not smile at these words. This was it.

Lottie and I stood up and went a little hyper. I pulled on a black pair of high tops, just in case we went outside which was likely considering it was rugby. We walked out of the front door and there was two black Aston Martins with drivers stood by them.

"Got to go in style!" Dad said as he and mum got into one, whilst us three girls got in the other. The engines roared and we were on our way.

"Oh my fucking god guys I can't believe what we are about to do!!" I screamed when were at the end of our street.

"I know it's just, Ahh!!" shouted Lot.

"It's insane!!" replied Lex. It was only a short journey to Allianz but it seemed like forever because I was so excited. Finally we pulled up outside the entrance to Allianz Park, and I practically jumped out of the car. Followed by Lottie and Lexi, then my parents got out of the other Aston. The drivers also got out and our driver, Steve, asked a question:

"Who owns Saracens?"

"Nigel Wray" I said quickly.

"No he doesn't, not anymore" replied my dad, Tom.

"He does!" I replied with confidence.

"Actually he doesn't" replied an unfamiliar voice.
