as i walked into the house, the whole room was silent and dark. i put the bags on the couch and looked at mckenna. "where is everyone."

she shrugs and turned on the lights. right when she turned on the lights, everyone jumped up and said "happy birthday!"

"jesus christ!" i caught myself before i could fall onto the ground.

i looked around and saw everyone. joey, jacob, jack, jeremy, haillie, dylan, mom, and sam. i gasped and put my hand on my chest. "you guys!" i said, "you didn't have to go all out."

i looked at the streamers that were handing above the opening of the kitchen. it said 'happy 17th birthday anna!'

joey smiled and came up and hugged me. "happy birthday cross."  he whispered into my ear.

haillie came up to me with a present. "i know that you barely know me, but joey suggested for me to come. he said that you had way too many guy friends and maybe i could be..you know, your girlfriend."

i took the present and hugged her, "i would love that!" i giggled.

i looked at mom holding sam, she looked like she was on the verge of crying. i went up to her and she sighed. "how did i get so lucky to have a beautiful daughter like you?" she said, looking at me in the eyes.

"it's okay mom, at least i'm not 18." i told her.

she gasped and rolled her eyes, "don't even make me think of that!"

i laughed and looked around. "this is so amazing!" i said. "did dad and them send something from san francisco?"

"we sent ourselves." i hear. i turn around and see mathew and sarah with presents. i run up to them and hug them both.

"oh my god! oh my god! oh my god!" i pull away from the hug and look at them. "look at you! it's been almost 5 months and you guys grew so much!"

i look at mathew and how tall he was. he was taller than me at this point. "when did you get so tall?"

"i'm 15." he chuckled.

his birthday was in february, i completely forgot. well i didn't technically forget, i tired not to think about them because i didn't want to be sad that they left.

"oh right." i changed the subject, "how's dad."

"good." sarah says coming close to my ear, "he didn't come because he didn't want to see mom." she said as she whispered in my ear.

i nodded and joey came up to us. "holy shi-shoot. is this your brother and sister?" he asked.

sarah looks at joey and her jaw drops, typical 13 year olds. "you're so..."

"hot? yeah i know." joey said as he finished her sentence and ran his hand through his hair.

i frowned and nudged his torso. "ow! okay i'll stop."

i giggled and playfully rolled my eyes. "you're sophia's older brother aren't you?" mathew asked.

joey nodded, "yup."

he looked down at his fingers, "c-can she come over and hand out?"

joey looked at me and i nodded. he looked back at mathew and said "yeah sure, i don't she why not."

after a few hours of the party, we sang happy birthday and ate the cake. now, we're sitting on the couch and watching a movie.

sarah and mathew are staying just for a day, sadly. but they have to stay in my room because sarah's old room is now sammy's and mckenna and dylan took mathews old room. so in that case, i have to sleep with mom.

matt and sarah literally love sam, well more like sarah. mathew is with sophia socializing because they have some catching up to do.

sarah said she loved sam because he so cute and loving. sarah also thinks my boyfriend is cute too, but hey, she's only 13 and last time i remember she was talking to some boy named daniel.

i'm sitting on the couch between joey and jacob while jeremy is sitting between jacobs legs on the floor. jack is talking to haillie on the other couch. mckenna and dylan were in the kitchen just cleaning up.

i laid my head on joeys shoulder as the movie was playing. he traced his hands around my back i circles as our breathing matched. i looked up at him and smiled.

"i'm going to go to the bathroom." i said as he took his arm off of me.

he looked down at me and smiled, "be quick because i can't last 5 minutes without you."

i giggled, "i'm gonna take forever."

he gasped, "you wouldn't!"

"i'm joking." i got up and went to the bathroom.

as i finished on the toilet, i washed my hands and looked at myself in the mirror. i was caught off guard of how hot i looked in my outfit. but hey, i'm always hot.

as i was getting out of the bathroom. i saw dylan taking out the trash since the bathroom is right near the garage entrance.

he looked at me and smiled, "hey happy birthday." he says.

"oh thanks." i said. i was about to walk off before he grabbed my hand. "i'm not finished." he says, making me get caught off guard.

he didn't let go of my hand. "oh." i chuckled nervously. "what is it?"

"this." he leaned in and smashed his lips onto mine. i immediately didn't kiss him back and pushed him off of me.

"what the fuck!" i said, "you have a whole kid."

"and? that doesn't mean i can't have you." he said, wrapping his hands around my waist, "why don't we take this up to my room?"

"where you sleep with mckenna?" i asked.

"shut up and come with me, anna. i've been waiting too long for your fine ass." he says.

i denied him and took his hands off of him, "just wait until i tell mckenna." i said.

i was about to walk off to mckenna when he grabbed me again. he looked at me deep in the eyes and gritted his teeth, "if you tell her so help me i will tell joey that you fucked me right here on your birthday."

i swallowed the lump in my throat and felt my heart beating fast. "fine." i felt my eyes water, " i won't tell."

he let go of me and i ran up to my room, crying.
