SHOULD I be happy that I'm getting older every year? Or should I be sad that I'm closer to dying. I looked at my vanity mirror and realized that Isle did a pretty good job in applying some make up. I would but, she has more practice than me. Quite magnificent to be exact.

"I'll be back in time for the party okay? Let me just get Leo" Isle said that made me flinch. I opened my eyes and realized I wasn't hearing things.

Leo? As in the zodiac Leo? I stood up and ran towards the stairs catching Isle. "What? You don't like the look I did?" She asked. I chuckled and shake my head side to side.

"Leo? As in Leo the zodiac star?" I asked making sure it is the real Leo.

Isle nodded innocently, OMG.

Leo the zodiac is here! Well, coming here!

Who else? Isle went on her way as I went to the kitchen looking for something to eat.

Taurus was with some of his friends, I think. After we had a conversation the previous nights. Turns out his child hood crush ran away and at a special berry that teleports you somewhere. And started a family here.

That's really unlike of her, I mean why? I wanted to ask Taurus that night but again we fell asleep hugging each other. What's with our hugs? What did I ever do that we both end up sleeping in a middle of hugging?

But, it feels good actually.

I mean Taurus didn't mind. Nor do I.

I ate some left over strawberries from the fridge and wanted to go upstairs but someone from the door knocked. I opened the door and saw none other than my brother. He was carrying with him a 12 inch gold box.

"Buon Compleanno sorellina (Happy Birthday little sister)" Giancarlo greeted, I smiled slightly and receive the gift he wrapped.

"Sorry I can't come to your compleanno (Birthday), you know I have to take care of la nostra azienda di famiglia (our family business)" He said. Again with that reason.

"Va bene (All right). I want to celebrate my birthday with my friends anyway" I said. I really hate it when I talked to Giancarlo, after what happened.

Giancarlo sighed and spoke, "Non è stata colpa tua sorellina. (It's not your fault little sister)"

I exhaled , "You better go, I don't want you to miss your flight." I said. Giancarlo smiled and left. As soon as I closed the door I fell to the floor and tears started to form.

Darn it! It's my birthday!

I don't know how long I was crying after remembering what happened in the past that made me suffer like this. But the next thing I knew Taurus came inside and saw me at the corner with my messed up make up and my dressing gown.

He bent down and look at me in the eyes, Taurus helped me stood up even thou I could walk he carry me like a bride and put me on the couch.

Did he literally just did that?

Taurus gave me a glass of water and calm me down.

Tss, "Don't look at me I look awful" I said trying not to let Taurus see how ugly I am when I cry? Taurus chuckled and spoke, sitting next to me. "You cry like a a princess, I've seen worse than that"

Is he trying to make me feel better or worse? I smiled and drink the water he gave me.

"You okay? What happened?" He asked, I looked at him whether to tell him or not. "My um- brother came and it's a long story." I said. Trying not to cry in front if him. I hate it when I talk about my so called perfect family.
