So today is my big day! Today's my 15th birthday! Wow. It's been 5 years without my parents. I live with my grandparents now, and all is good. We always go on our usual walk into this area of trees. (Not really a forest) This time my grandparents told me I couldn't look until I got there. I go upstairs to change. I change into high waisted pants with one of my striped crop tops and my black vans. I then brush my hair and teeth and run down stairs so we can go on our walk. Once I get down stairs, my two brothers are already standing there with my grandparents. My youngest brother Mark tells me to cover my eyes while my older brother Josh helps me out the door. After walking for 10 minutes we finally reach our destination. I uncover my eyes and stand there in shock. My grandparents set up a table with a birthday cake on it, some presents and a tent. They know me so well. I LOVE CAMPING! I moved so I haven't been able to camp with the family or friends anymore. I really missed my best friends Katie, Aaliyah, andBayleigh. I mean they were the only people I enjoyed talking to. My grandparents said that we would celebrate later, that I should just explore for a lite bit. I zip open the tent to just happen to find all of my best friends in there. I basically tackle them in the tent. We talk for hours then my grandpa calls me out so we can celebrate. We a sit down and I open presents. My Grandma got me this beautiful diary. I ask to write something in it before cake.

Dear diary,
This is my first entry. It's my birthday! Yay! I'm so happy my best friends are here to celebrate it with me! I'm officially 15! I have to go eat cake now.

I finish writing then they start to sing. Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Jennifer, happy birthday to you!

Then that was it. I feel a sharp pain then everything blacks out. I still hold my journal in my hand
