In the end I just say fuck it and instead of hitting the target, I just waste the bullet. I put the gun down and take the ear muffs off and look at him.
"I really suck at this"
He smiles while looking at me "with a little practice I'm sure you wil...

Waking up the morning after felt great, it felt good working together with someone to bring Ava and Amelia down even if that someone is Damien.
That is until Henry came to see me with both good and bad news. The good news is that grandpa is coming in two weeks and the bad new is that Miguel had escaped. Apparently the explosion was just a distraction to keep everyones eyes from him.
I was angry because if its him, he will definitely come for revenge now that he is out.
He has gone off the radar again, so it will be hard to find him, harder than before but its fine, since he will be coming for me. i just need to be alert and focus on dealing wih Ava and Amelia for now.
"It's your birthday soon" Henry says as we walk to his car after getting discharged.
Since I wasn't seriously injured, I didn't want to stay any longer than necessary.
"Yeah it is" i reply
"I heard the smiths are throwing a party for Ava" he say and I nod.
He stops and looks at me "You're gonna crash it aren't you?"
I smirk "You're asking such an obvious question"
*********
It's been three weeks since all the mayhem happened and it's also my birthday and I'm officially 20.
I desend the stairs and I hear everyone yell in unison "HAPPY BIRTHDAY". Litterally everyone is here. Mom, Dad, Henry, Max, Grandpa, and the men and women who work for us.
Mom walks towards me with a vanilla cake in hand with twenty candles lit on top and a big smile appears on my face. I close my eyes and wish for great health and happiness for everyone before blowing out the candles.
Everyone claps and cheers and I can't help but be happy.
We always skip school or any important event when it's our birthday and have fun all day and then we go home and have a family dinner before sharing gifts. Birthdays are really special in our family so we make sure to enjoy it to the fullest.
Henry, Max and I always hang out in the mornings and just do whatever we want and then in the evening we spend it with our family.
Today we decided to go to the arcade, mostly because i had something to do but also because Max and Henry wanted to try out a new machine they added so to the arcade we go.
At the arcade i leave my brothers and walk to the other side when i realize that i'm being watched but not by someone who is there to hurt me but someone who is there to help.
I stop when I reach one of the machines and begin to play. I play for a few minutes until someone bumps into me and drops his phone and other things in the process.
We both apologize and I bend down to help him pick it up.
"Is everything in place?" I ask while looking at Damien and he nods.
I honestly did not expect him to show up himself but all the same.
"Yep it is. All you have to do is insert this drive" he says and hand me one of the pen drives that fell.
"Thank you" I say sincerely and we both get back up.
"Anything for you sweetness" he replies
"Be careful. We've got eyes" I say to him when I see the two men who were not being so discreet about following me. How could anyone send these idiots as spies.
"Always" he says and pretends to thank me for helping him and i nod as he walsks away.
Finally, its finally here, I can finally take her down. Damien really pulled through for me and honestly, i'm really grateful.
Not that I would ever say that to him though. Don't want him putting on airs.
I go back to Henry and Max and we hang around for a whlie before going to the mall to get a little makover before going back home.

It's now 17:00 pm and I'm getting ready for the birthday party. The Smiths invited us but the only reason we're actually going is because I have something to do.
We got our nails done when we went to the mall. I got a blue one and Max and Henry got theirs painted black.
I finish dressing up and go downstairs to see my family waiting in the living room. They all look really good and prepared for what might happen today. Mom notices me first and smiles widely as she comes and hug me.
"You look beautiful my love" mom says and wipes her tears and kisses my cheek. She has on a beautiful red dress and her hair in a bun and her nails also painted red.
My dad notices me and comes forward to hug me too. He has on a tuxedo and looks really handsome. "Yes dear you look amazing. Happy birthday" he says and kisses my head.
"I guess we will have to keep watch tonight" Henry says to which Max nods and replies.
"We will keep all the boys away tonight" He says with a determined look and bumps fists with Henry making us all laugh.
"Why thank you kind gentlemen" I say and peck his cheeks to which he giggles. I turn to Henry and hug him too.
"Let's get this show started" he says to which everyone nods.
