TWO WEEKS LATER

"Happy Birthday to you..." I faintly hear as I open my eyes

I turn around on my back and rub my eyes as I crawl from underneath my covers. After I finally wake up, I notice my parents are singing with a single red velvet cupcake and a 19 candle on top.

"Happy birthday to Melody, happy birthday to you!" They finish singing

"Woah, wasn't expecting this..." I say as I pull the covers on my legs

"We know you don't do birthdays but this one is different, I can feel it." My mom says sitting on my bed

"Our family went through a lot but I've watched you grow up so much, even when you needed me and I wasn't there." She says grabbing my hand

"I am so sorry for all that pain I caused you, and I know I can't do or say anything to take that pain away from you..." She holds my hand closer to her heart

"But I will do everything I can to become a better mother, for your sake and our future." She says kissing my hand

"Your mother is not the only one who let you down...." I hear faintly from my dad

"Dad..." I sigh

"For once honey, just let me say what I need." He says

"At some point, your mother and I noticed it, and maybe even Caleb, but you stopped needing us a long time ago. You have shown it time and time again, but at the end of the day, I want you to call this place home for once and actually mean it." He says a tear falling out of his eyes

"The both of you are such saps. We have always had our differences, but like you said," I say squeezing my mom's hand "We have been through a lot, but we have also grown so much together."

"I used to dread coming home, I drank my problems away and ended up in a hospital. We are not those people anymore, individually or as a family. I love you both." I say pulling them both in for a hug

"When did my little girl become a wise adult?" My dad asks and I chuckle

"Well when you grow up with a lawyer and a model as your parents, you pick up on some of their skills," I reply

"I'm so proud of you honey, happy birthday." My mom says as she plants a kiss on my cheek

My dad places one on the other side of my face as we pull apart from our group hug.

"Now blow out the candle and make a wish." My mom says and I look at her

"I know you have had some rough birthdays, but at least do this for us. You don't even have to make a wish." My dad says
