Macy's pov-

It has been a couple of days. School has passed and It's now Friday. But not just any Friday, today's my 18th birthday.

I have never really had a party or celebration, so I wasn't planning on doing anything except gang business because I need to catch up on some work. Luckily, ever since Bailey joined gangs with mine, nothing has happened and he insisted that he took care of most of the work.

I get up out of bed and change into a pair of black sweatpants and a plain crop top. I don't forget a pair of fuzzy socks before I go on my way to my office that is on my floor.

I sat in my spinny chair, criss-cross applesauce and got to work. I worked out some weapon shipments and security. I have emailed all of my allies to make sure that they are all fine with joining with Bailey's gang.

They all emailed back instantly, probably having someone email for them. They all said that they were fine with it. I wasn't surprised. If they said that they weren't then they would end up going against us and losing.

It has been a few hours and I've gotten a lot of work done but I have also spun around in circles, watched some tv, and messed around a little bit. I also got some homework done after I finished up all of my gang work.

I was about to go downstairs to get something to eat but my phone rang. I looked down and saw that my mom was calling me. I picked it up and was immediately answered with screaming about how I haven't called her lately.

After she was done, she talked to me about how she wanted us to come back to visit during winter break. I, of course, couldn't say no. First of all, it's my mom who I haven't seen in a while and two, there is no snow where I live now.

After assuring her that we are going to go visit her. I tell her that I love her and hang up. I slide, literally due to my socks, out of my office and downstairs to the kitchen.

I grab some pasta and reheat it in the microwave. I scroll through my phone as I wait for my food. I turn round as I hear someone walk into the kitchen.

"Hey," I say as I see Bailey. He throws his keys onto the counter as he walks towards me, as he just walked into the house.

"Hey, what have you been up to all day," he asks me. I look at the clock and see that it is almost 4 in the afternoon.

"Just some gang work," I say, shrugging my shoulders. "We are all caught up for the next couple of weeks unless something happens."

He hums in agreement and I turn back around as I hear the microwave beeping. I take out my pasta and grab a fork. I start eating and I turn back around. Bailey is looking at me with a small smile on his face. "I see that you finally are capable of feeding yourself."

"Haha, so funny," I say sarcastically while rolling my eyes. "What about you? What have you been doing all day? I haven't seen you around lately."

"I've just been out and about," he answers vaguely.

"Also, I wanted to ask if during winter break you want to come up to New York with my family and friends," I ask. My mom didn't say anything about inviting other people but I know that she'll be fine with it. She's such a people person.

"Sure, why not? Sounds fun," he says. I put my now empty bowl into the sink and my phone rings. I look at it to see that a random number is calling me. I hold up a finger to Bailey and pick it up.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Macy. It's Eli."

"Oh hey, Eli. What's up," I ask as I see Bailey slightly tense up.

"I just wanted to say happy birthday. Marcus told me. I would've planned something but I kinda found out late."

"It's fine and thank you. I don't usually do anything anyways."

"Well, okay. That's all I wanted to say. I'll talk to you soon, okay?"

"Yeah, for sure." We exchanged our goodbyes before I hung up.

"What was that about," Bailey asked.

"Nothing important," I say. If he answers vaguely, so will I. Also, it's kinda cute. He's so jealous when it comes to Eli.

We both walked into the living room and agreed to watch a movie or two. Afterward, I said goodnight and went to go shower.

I then changed into practically the same outfit I was in earlier. Just this time, grey sweatpants and a light blue top.

I then hopped into bed earlier than usual, planning to get more sleep. After listening to some music, I eventually fall asleep.

I hear a tapping on my door and I groan. I look at the clock and see that I have only slept for four hours.

It's almost midnight and the tapping continues. I get up and go over to my door. I open it up and I am greeted with Bailey's face, "Come with me."
