His Scarlet Rose

Scarlets POV (sorry for any spelling, grammatical, and any errors in general. Enjoy)
_______________

I wake up this morning and groan.

Happy birthday to me. Yet I don't think anyone actually knows.

Oh well it's not like it was celebrated anyways. It's just like any other day.

Shy had slept in her new room last night and I hardly slept at all having nightmares about my parents.

I hadn't gotten much sleep. 

I groggily walk out of my room and down the stairs to get breakfast.

I grab a plate and sit down at my place while everyone else fills in around me.

"Hey Scar is it ok if you hang out here today all of us have work and Matteo is hanging out with the guys." Hunter spoke out

"A-and I'm gonna hang out with Maggie today" Shy said quietly.

"Yeah that's fine" I said

"And sissy please get some sleep you look exhausted." Leo said in a concerned manner while Elijah nodded his head in agreement.

"Alright" I sigh and head upstairs once I'm done with breakfast. Today's Sunday and I have no school work so what's some more sleep going to interfere with at ten in the morning on a Sunday.

I walk up the stairs and set an alarm for one o'clock and go to sleep.

I open my eyes to the sun going down while I look at the clock.

Weird I slept through my alarm. I then jumped out of bed.

The clock read six o'clock. I had slept eight hours.

I walk out of my room to see all the lights in the house have been shut off.

I roll my eyes and walk down the stairs and to the kitchen.

That's where I see a note.

"I'm so sorry we haven't been home today. We miss you, but on the bright side Matteo will come to pick you up once you've waken up. Hope sleeping the extra hours uninterrupted helped
      Love
              ~your brothers and Shyanne."

Those bastards turned off my alarm clock. Slick. I thought as a small smile crept onto my face and a genuine one nonetheless. This showed they cared. And so did everything they've done for me. Shyanne included.

Soon there was a knock on the front door. I jumped being terrified. Recently Leo thought it would be funny to show me a horror movie about home invasion and that added to my already known distrust of strangers.

I then get a call form Matteo.

"Hey dummy it's me at the door and remind me to kill Leo for showing you that movie later" I sighed in relief and opened the door.

True to his word Matteo stood there and thank god it was alive.

Shy was also there right by his side.

"Come let's get you all dolled up" she said happily as she dragged me to her room.

"What's going on."

"Oh um there's a company party tonight for your brothers and we were invited." She smiles brightly

I'm happy she's happy but it's starting to hurt that my brothers didn't remember my birthday from all those years ago.

I brushed it off knowing I can think about it later. From what I've heard my brothers are important parts of the company and I should be happy and there to support them and that's what I'll do.

I smiled at shy and she showed me a dress she obviously had planed already. Then took out her own.

I did simple makeup since I'm not a fan of doing my whole face. Also I like the freckles I have dusting around my face.

My look consisted of a non winged eyeliner some mascara and some white eyeshadow in the inner corner of my eye and a dark purple tinted lipgloss that matched my dress.

Shy then did some silver eyeshadow and white eyeshadow and a small black winged liner accompanied by a nude lipstick and mascara. She looked so beautiful.

We then changed into our dresses.

(Scarlets dress)

(Shyanne's dress)

My dress was accompanied with three inch black heels while Shyanne's was accompanied with silver wedges.

"Come come" she said eagerly taking my hand once again only having time to grab my clutch that had my phone , a hair tie, some cash, and my ID from school in it along with my tube of lipgloss and mascara.

Once we reached the front door and Matteo had stood up form where he was waiting patiently for the last forty five minutes and we went to the car. On the way out of the house I heard him whisper to Shyanne

"You look beautiful" he said and her cheeks heated up causing pink to dust her cheeks.

All I hoped was he wasn't playing her.

We drove in complete silence after that for the rest of the car ride.

At the time we arrived I was already getting tired from the lack of sleep I've had over the last few months. Though I have noticed in the last week that I've been here I've been less tired. That's a good sign I guess.

We walked into the building and took the elevator to the fifth sixth floor.

Once the elevator doors opened I saw everyone standing around conversing.

About an hour had passed and I'll admit it was pretty fun.

"Alright I'd like to make a toast" the man I had recognized as Luciano Moretti. The CEO and boss apparently.

"I'd like to thank you all for coming and I'd like to welcome and wish Scarlet a happy birthday" I froze they did this for me? He then continued

"Most of us had known her as a baby. But now she's grown into a beautiful young lady. And I'd like to welcome her back. Even though we are not blood welcome home and happy birthday scarlet" he said sending a genuine smile my way.

And that's how the rest of the night went. Spending time with people from my early years and spending time with my brothers. I couldn't have been happier.
