Dangerously Broken

The clown

Today was my birthday, Im turning 17 now. I dont know if the boys know or not, but I will tell them sometime today. I woke up to sunlight shining into my eyes. I look next to me to see Patricks soft features still sleeping, he looked so peaceful and innocent when he sleeps, but everyone knows hes a psychopath.

I got up out of bed silently and carefully to not wake Patrick. I grabbed black and white underwear and bra, black skinny jeans and my dark navy-blue singlet. I went into the bathroom and turned the shower on. Once the water was at the temp, I wanted I stripped out of my clothes.

I have known the boys for 5 months now. Theyre my family, all of them. I love them with all of what I have but today I have bad feeling and not just because Im not a big fan of my birthday, but I feel like something bad is going to happen to someone I care about. I got out of the shower, dried off and got dressed. I did my hair in soft waves down my back and my make up a light natural style.

I went into the bedroom to see Patrick waking up slightly, I decided to go over and sit on his lap. I leaned over a bit placing my hands on his chest. He opened his eyes and smiled sleepily at me.

"Morning Babe." I whispered not to loud, his hands went to my waist.

"Morning Beautiful, happy birthday." Patrick said pulling me closer to place a kiss to my lips. I kissed back lovingly. I pulled back to catch my breath.

"How'd you know?" I asked, he grinned cheekily at me.

"I remembered when you told me and wrote it down so I could remember for today." Patrick said, that is so sweet of him as he would never care about something as silly as a birthday. I smiled happily at him and kissed him again.

"You look beautiful today." Patrick said once I got up off him and started putting my socks and boots on.

"Thanks." I said tying the laces. While he finished getting ready, I went downstairs to get some breakfast. Getting down there I could smell it. I walked around the corner to see Mr. Hockstetter sitting at the kitchen table reading the morning paper with his coffee and Mrs. Hockstetter plating up bacon and eggs with toast. I sat down and Mrs. Hockstetter placed a plate full of food in front of me with a card and a wrapped box.

"Mr. and Mrs. Hockstetter, you really didnt have to get me anything." I said shocked looking up to them. They smiled lovingly to me, they said I was like the daughter they always wanted.

"We did, you're like a daughter to us and we love you. Happy birthday Hayley." Mr. Hockstetter said, I smiled opening the card first and reading what was inside of it. , next I opened the wrapped box. Inside was a beautiful glass Theropod dinosaur sculpture, I nearly screamed in excitement as I looked up seeing all three of their faces smiling at me.

"Oh my god oh my god oh my god you remembered my love for dinosaurs!!" I said happily hugging them all and kissing Patrick. I loved my glass Dinosaur so much. I closed the box and we all sat around to eat breakfast before Belch got here to take us to school.

We hoped out of the car and heading to our lockers. This morning when we got into the car, I had gotten a card from Belch and Victor and from Henry I had gotten a cute necklace that had a small dinosaur pendant on it. I got Victor to help me put it on. I grabbed my stuff in needed for my first lessonPhotography with Mr. bear and Victor.

Getting into class I sat at the back of the class and got my stuff out that I needed e.g. my camera and USB and the cable cord that goes from my camera to the computers. Soon Victor came in and sat down next to me, we shared a small smile with one another. He was my best friend more like my brother in a way really. Belch was just a friend; Patrick was more of my lover and Henry? I dont know in a way hes my lover to but Im closer to Patrick so Henrys my best friend also.
