Today was your birthday. You hated this day. It was the same day your brother was murdered. It happened on you 8th birthday.

Flashback
My parents and I just came home from getting my birthday breakfast and buying things for my party. When we went in I saw my brother on the floor, dead. One bullet hole in his chest, and the other in his head. We canceled my birthday party. I cried for months after his death.

A few months later I stopped crying. I wanted to never celebrate my birthday ever again. I would always remember it as the day my brother was found dead on the living room floor. We never found out who killed him, but I never thought that mattered. All I knew was he was dead, and I wanted him back.

End of Flashback

I went to school like it was an ordinary day. I thought nobody knew today was my birthday, so why not come. After being stuck in my own thoughts, Peter came to me and said, "Hey Y/n. I was hoping that after school that we could study at my place. Is that okay?"
I smiled slightly and said, "Sure Pete. I'd love to. "
He then said, "Cool, maybe we can get Delmar's on the way."
I said, "Sure, that'd be great. See you then." I then kissed him on the cheek and went to class.

---------Peter's POV--------
What Y/n didn't know was I knew it was her birthday. I don't know why she never told me. Anyway, we aren't actually going to study. At home right now Aunt May is setting up for a surprise party. We are going to Delmar's to give the others time to get there and hide. Perfect plan, right?

----Time skip brought by school is boring----

----Y/n's POV--------
We were now at Delmar's where we ordered our favorite sandwiches. "Number 13!" Mr. Delmar shouted. When we heard our number we went up to grab our sandwiches.
Peter and I ate the sandwiches on the way to his apartment. We were pretty quiet all the way. When we got there the place was dark. Weird. Suddenly, people came out yelling, "Surprise! Happy birthday!" The first thing I did was run out crying. All I could think of was my brother's death.

-----Peter's POV----
   I wonder what that was about. After seeing Y/n run out crying, I went after her. "Hey, what's wrong?" I asked.
   She took a deep breath in and said, "I don't celebrate my birthday. It's a bad day for me. My birthday makes me sad. It's the same day my brother died eight years ago."
I stood there in shock. No wonder she never told anyone about her birthday. It made her sad. I know what it's like to lose someone. And I am sorry for her. I said, "I am sorry. I didn't know. Would you like me to get everyone to leave? We could just watch movies and eat ice cream or something."
   Y/n thought for a moment. She then said, "Ya, that'd be nice. Just you and me." So, that's what I did. They all left after understanding what happened. Then when they all left, me and Y/n spent the rest of the day eating ice cream and watching movies.
