Emerson's POV
Dezarea's birthday is tomorrow, and it's also almost Christmas. Mom would always celebrate her birthday as an early Christmas, kinda. Her birthday is the 13th, which happens to be Friday the 13th this December. We're gonna try to celebrate it separately, we'll give her her small gifts for her birthday and the bigger ones for Christmas.
The 13th is tomorrow, so we're gonna prep while she's asleep, and we're going to take her out of class early tomorrow.
"God, our baby sister is gonna be 16 tomorrow. Can you two believe?" I ask Remington and Sebastian. We were on our way to Ralph's to get cake mix and food and stuff.
"No way dude, she grew up entirely too fast!" Remington sighed. We moved out when she was about 7, and we talked when we called mom and we Face-Timed them both, but we were just...never around I guess.
"Mom is gonna freak out..." Remington started, realizing what he said, and I saw his face fall. "She'd be so proud of all of us." He said quietly. He was right, she would be. She'd be proud of the three of us for taking Dezarea in and taking care of
her. She would be proud of Dez for turning 16. She would always tell us she was proud of us on our birthdays.
"Hey, let's not be sad, it's Dez's birthday tomorrow!" Sebastian exclaimed. He always tries to help us put of sad times, even if they're small like that. "Alright boys, we're here. We know what we need right? Cake mix, food, snacks, cups and plates. Let's go!" He claps his hands, and we all get out of the car.
We're inviting a few people over, obviously Monica, Larissa and Shy, Jessie Paege, her friend Saturn, Awsten and Geoff, Otto's in Houston so he can't make it. The guys from Set It Off  and the girls of Doll Skin are coming as well. It's nothing big, but she's met these guys and she loves them.
"So, what time are we getting her from school tomorrow?" I ask Remington.
"Uhhh..maybe like, 12:30? We can eat lunch with her and sign her out when we leave?" He suggests.
"Seb? Thoughts?" I ask him.
"Yeah, that sounds like a plan." He said, still looking for a decent box cake mix.

Dezarea's POV
Remington and Emerson both got puppies a few weeks ago, so while the boys were out doing god knows what, I was at home with all three of them. Mishka, Norbert and Pepper.
I have English and math homework tonight, and I'm struggle-bussing through math. I was never good at it, unless it's something easy, so I gave up and decided to do English. We were reading Divergent in class, and I read faster than everyone in that class, so I'm already on the essay part.
Halfway through, I decide to stop and text Saturn.
Dez⭐️: hey dude, ready for tomorrow?
Saurn🪐: yeah, but are your brothers allowed to get us both out?
Dez⭐️: probably not, but they're gonna do it anyway lol
I heard the door open downstairs, but knowing that they probably have stuff to do they don't want me to know about, I stayed upstairs with the dogs (who were freaking out).
*Skip to Dez's birthday*
I was awoken by Remington bursting into my room at 6:30, with a cupcake and a candle sticking out of the top, all while he was scream-singing a higher-pitched version of happy birthday.
"Rem! What the hell!" I jolt up. He keeps singing until he reaches my bedside.
"Your birthday is what the hell!" He hands me the cupcake,
implying I should blow out the candle poking out of the top.
He hugged me after I blew out the small candle.
"Rem, I love you, bro, but I need to go to school." I say, trying to slide out of the hug.
"But it's your birthdaaaayyy!" He draws out. He's either tired or on something or just trying to be annoying.
"Remington!" I heard Emerson shout from the door, "let her go!" He tells him, stomping his foot.
"Thank you, Emerson!" I gasp for air dramatically.
"No problem. Happy birthday, hon." He closed my door behind him.
I got up, started my playlist, and went to pick out an outfit. I put together a fishnet shirt with a yellow flannel button up over it. With that, I wore black jeans, a black belt with a little hoop on one of the loops, some necklaces and Doc Martin's.
