Somewhere In Neverland ~Flykarth~

Chapter 21

  The night at Kellin's was exactly what I'd needed, even though it was only a couple of hours, it had still been a chance for me and Matt to sit and cuddle, watching a movie like we always used to.
Sadly, that had been our only chance we'd had and it was back to how it was and we where still stuck on what to do. It had been like this for over two months now, and my birthday was fast approaching. My supposedly sweet sixteen, which was two weeks away. My mum kept asking me what I wanted to do for it, but in all honesty, if I couldn't spend it with Matt, I didn't want to do anything. It seemed pointless spending it without the man that I loved more then anything, sure I could have Kellin round for dinner, but he came round for dinner every other week anyway. I could invite the guys, and girls, from the support group over too, but without Matt, i didn't even want to celebrate. The most annoying thing though? My birthday was on a Saturday this year, meaning I couldn't even see him slyly at school and it was killing me.
"Can't we, I don't know, do something at Kellin's like Halloween?" Jack asked.
"They'll want to be there though, so that won't work." I shook my head, I had already considered that idea but I knew what my parents where like.
"Bummer." Jack sighed.
"We'll find away baby." Matt squeezed my hand.
"How? It's hopeless, can we just forget I have a birthday this year?"
"No, it's your sixteenth, so that is in no way an option!" Kellin protested.
"But if I can't spend it with all of you, including Matt, what's the damn point?"
"Baby, even if I can't be there, you still need to celebrate, it's your sixteenth, and we can do something in Mr. Carlile's office on Friday? Have like a little party in there during lunch or something, I'm sure he'll be all up for it."
"Still not the point." I hung my head, I felt like crying, I'd never really celebrated my birthday before, even when me and Alan where friends all it was, was a trip to the cinema, then for ice cream then do whatever at mine. The one year I had a chance to celebrate my birthday properly, my parents stood in my way.
"Don't worry, it'll work out, trust me." Kellin smiled, sounding sure of himself.
"How do you know?" I looked up at him.
"I just do, have I ever been wrong before?"
"No, I guess not, but you're wrong about this one." I sighed, I didn't even realize a tear slipped down until Matt used his thumb to wipe it away.
"Don't cry baby please, I'll do whatever I can to make sure I can see you, even if it's only for a few minutes."
I lent my head on his shoulder while he wrapped his arms around me. "What's the point, this sucks so much."
"I know baby, I know, you have no idea how bad I want to be there for your birthday. You have no idea how bad I want to be able to see you outside of school, be like we used to. I miss having you in my arms at night, so much, I miss waking up to you, seeing you sleep. You're freaking adorable when you sleep, well you're adorable anyway, but that's not the point here. But it'll be worth it, I promise baby, we just got to get through this."
"It's so hard." I sobbed.
"We know man." Kellin squeeze my knee.
"We masterminds are on it, we're hitting the libary after school, doing as much research we can to see what we can do to help. It's not fair how your parents are treating you, you don't deserve it." You could hear the hint of anger in Jack's voice.
"It will be ok baby." Matt pressed his lips against the top of my head and held me tighter.
"Hang on, Matt...it's your birthday tomorrow..."
I looked up at him, well, I now felt like the worst boyfriend in the world, I was too wrapped up in my own shit I'd almost totally forgotten. Thankfully Jack had told me about two weeks ago, so I'd already got him a present. How did I get the money? Well, my nan always sent me money for my birthday about a month before hand, because my birthday was so close to Christmas, she always did it the month before. So, I used the money she sent me to buy him something, it wasn't much, but it was better then nothing. So I hadn't totally forgotten, but I was too busy wrapped up in my own shit to even notice what the date was.
"Yes..." Matt nodded. "Well done Jack."
"We're having that film night, gaming all that tomorrow night?"
"Again, yes..."
"If Alex can get to Kellin's...I don't know, say it's Kellin's birthday or something, and his sister's invited you over for dinner...then we could just go over to Kellin's?"
"Jack you legend! Would that be ok Kellin?"
"Fine by me, my Aunt won't be in and I can get my sister to be there to make it believable." Kellin nodded.
"It's worth a shot? Least then I can spend my birthday with my man." Matt smiled at me, I wasn't sure, but it was worth a shot though.
"What if they ask to see proof it's his birthday?" I questioned. "And, uh, what happens when it comes to your actual birthday?"
"Oh, that's not till April and all this will be sorted by then." Kellin assured me. "Like Matt said, it's worth a shot, then you two get to spend his birthday together and we can work on getting you two together for your birthday."
"Ok, I'll, uh, ask when I get home." I gave him a small smile, inwardly praying it would work.
