Happy Birthday To Us

Chapter 24: Happy Birthday To Us

Sunday 9:00am

Jackie's POV-

After my little stare down with myself in the bathroom mirror, I changed into my pj's and fell asleep next to Ryan for the first time ever in weeks. I wake up to Ryan next to me. I smile. I stare at his face and notice a bruise under his eye and a cut on his lip. I don't think about it, I just close my eyes and cuddle with him.

"Jackie, wake up." I hear Ryan say. I don't get why he's waking me up. I open my eyes and notice that I'm laying on top of him. I jump off of him and fall to the floor.

"You okay?" He asks laughing. I just laugh.

"I kind of enjoyed you on top of me." He says with a smirk. I roll my eyes.

"How did I get on top of you anyway?" I ask.

"Well, you started cuddling with me so I woke up. I was staring at the ceiling for most of the night and then you kept getting closer. Then you finally just got on top of me and that's how you stayed." He says. I can feel my cheeks heat up and he laughs. I stand up and go to my desk.

"Isn't this the best way to start your birthday." He laughs. I run to him and hug him. I'm lucky enough to have him with me. I can't imagine my life without him. I start to kiss him. He just laughs after every kiss I give him. I kiss one of his bruises by accident because he backs away. I stop hugging him and go back to my desk. I pretend to not notice the bruises. He walks up behind me and kisses my cheek. I don't react. I get up and go take a shower and brush my teeth. When I finish taking my shower, I put on my pjs back on. When I come out of the bathroom, Ryan is gone. I go into the closet. A tiny part of me hopes his in there waiting for me but another part hopes he left.

"What do you plan on wearing today?" Someone says. I turn around, it's Ryan. I look through my closet. I grab my long sleeve heart shirt, black jeans, black and white vans, and my beanie with cat ears. I show Ryan and he smiles.

"You'll look so adorable." He says. I smile. He places his hand on my cheek and stares into my eyes. He leans in, our lips touch and I forget about everything. He wraps his arms around me and I wrap them around his neck. He doesn't stop kissing me but I shouldn't be complaining. Our lips move in sync like always. I notice I'm just in my towel and I quickly pull away. He notices too because he backs away. I go into the closet and change into my clothes for the day. Ryan is sitting on my bed. I stand in front of him and spin.

"You look amazing." He says. I can feel myself blushing. He hugs me. I hear a knock on my door. Ryan pulls away and I see him roll his eyes. I laugh at his jealousy, he's cute when he's jealous. I open the door and see Finley. He hands me a perfectly wrapped box. I look at the little tag at the top:

Happy Birthday!! Your an amazing person hope you have more birthdays and hopefully I will be there for them. Thank you so much, you remind me of my sister maybe just maybe you can be my younger sister instead of my older sister. Well anyway thank you so much for everything, happy birthday, Jackie!

I smile when I finish reading it. I feel the tears in my eyes. I hand the box to Ryan and hug Finley.

"I will be the best little sister ever." I tell him. He hugs me tighter.

"My sister used to say that, only she said I will be the best older sister ever." He says. He starts to sniffle and I know he's crying. He let's go when Ryan pretends to cough. Me and Finley laugh. Ryan walks next to me and kisses me. I look at Finley and he's smirking.

"Use protection sis." Finley says walking to his room.

"You can't tell us what to do." Ryan jokingly tells him. Ryan kisses me and takes me into the room. I laugh when he starts tickling me.
