Fifteen

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY AVA!" Everyone yelled, making me wake up from my sleep.

I jumped, sitting up to see all of the guys standing around in my room.

"Why?" I asked, rubbing my face from the sleep that was just interrupted.

"Get up! It's your birthday and it's time to party!" Jimmy yelled as he jumped on my bed.

"Stop, don't jump on me," I giggled before Jimmy finally stopped and laid on top of me, trying to crush me.

"Get off," I laughed as I pushed Jimmy off of the bed.

"Get dressed and ready, we have a full day planned for you," Chris smiled, "we'll be downstairs."

I watched as all of the boys left my room and I sighed happily. It's my freaking birthday, I'm twenty-one. I looked through my suitcase, finding the outfit I specifically bought weeks ago to wear for my birthday. I put on the white lace bodysuit and the black skinny jeans and checked out my outfit in the mirror. Today is not a day for insecurities. No ma'am, I don't have energy for that today.

I put on some eyeliner and completely filled in my lips with a nude lip liner, calling it good for my makeup, at least for now. I brushed through my hair, leaving most of it down with the top portion of my hair tied up in a bun. It took me a minute to fluff around with the small bun to make it look like I wanted to before I decided I was satisfied with my appearance.

I opened my door to find nothing but a wall of balloons blocking the doorway.

"Seriously guys," I laughed, trying to be loud enough for them to hear me.

I started popping the balloons to make an opening I could crawl through before I walked down the stairs, completely shocked with what I walked into. There were white and black balloons everywhere with a big gold 21 balloon, and everyone was there, waiting for me.

"Do you like it?" Jimmy asked.

"Are you kidding?" I smiled, "I love it, you're going to make me cry."

"Save the tears for your presents later," Jimmy laughed.

"Hey, we agreed no presents," I reminded Jimmy seriously, "the trip was my present."

"Yeah well too bad," Chris laughed, "we got you presents too."

"You guys are too much," I shook my head.

"You haven't seen anything yet," Katie laughed.

I rolled my eyes as I looked around the room more, appreciating everything. I can't believe they went through all of this for me.

"Breakfast," Bailey called from the kitchen.

I turned to Jimmy and rose my brows at him in question.

"Shut up and let us spoil you on your birthday," Jimmy laughed as he lightly pushed me towards the kitchen.

We all sat around together, eating the most amazing waffles I had ever tasted and drinking an early morning mimosa. I can only imagine what else this day is going to bring.

"Why are waffles your favorite breakfast food?" Tareq asked me with a light laugh.

"Because waffles are like pancakes with abs," I laughed.

"So are we all working out by eating waffles instead of pancakes?" Karl joked.

"That's my kind of thinking," I laughed.

Everyone laughed with me as I finished my drink and smiled happily at everyone. It's my birthday and I'm surrounded by my favorite people on the planet.
