"so when are we going?"
"tonight"
"tonight? i thought it was tomorrow"
"no it's today, i've already took all the stuff there"
"so when do they get here?"
"about half an hour"
"and when do we tell her?"
"probably when they get here"
"where is it again?"
"tell who and where is what?" i butted in. we were all at the boys' flat (minus noah and tori) and id been listening to this confusing conversation between them all for a whole fifteen minutes
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" they all screamed at once, taking me by surprise. they all got up and brought me into a group hug
"okay who blabbed" i giggled, smiling at the fact they all knew it was my birthday even though i'd only told amelia when it was; and there is no way in hell she'd remember. i never want people to fuss over my birthday, so i hadn't told them.
"noah and jack" andy answered. i smiled at the fact jack actually took part in whatever they had planned
"it would have been me but i thought it was in may" amelia giggled and i laughed and rolled my eyes
"okay so where is it we're going?" i asked. although i'd have been completely okay if they hadn't planned anything, it's nice to know that they were willing to put effort into doing something for me.
"that's the surprise part" brook replied
"oh come on you have to tell me" i pouted
"fine, we're going to the lake house thing lexis family own because she's a rich bitch"
"hey i'm not rich! my parents are" she giggled
"a lake house? wow. wait tonight? but noah said he had a surprise for me" i frowned, really wanting to see noah too
"this is his surprise - he's coming to"
"what about tori? we can't forget tori"
"she's coming too, brook wouldn't be able to cope if she wasn't there" mikey laughed
"shut up!" brook blushed and we all laughed
"so when do they get here?" i asked, already excited to see them. before any of them could answer, there was a knock at the door, meaning they were here. i smiled as mikey opened the door, letting them in
"happy birthday!" noah smiled as soon as he saw me, coming up to me and pulling me into a hug. tori did the same, and then immediately went and sat beside brook. this didn't bother me as i was still waiting for their date to arrive - even if i have to plan it for them.
"so when did you organise all this?" i asked, really curious to how a bunch of idiots can plan something that seems this amazing
"literally last night" lexi replied,
"i was already talking about going to the lake house and then your birthday came up in the conversation, so we thought it would be a nice surprise"
"and since you don't have clothes or anything you'll have to go home and pack some things" brook mentioned, making me look at him and see his arm wrapped around tori. cute
"do you want me to come with you? i can make a mess of your house while i wiat for you" noah joked, getting up as if to say i'm not allowed to say no. although he laughed, he was most likely being deadly serious
"sure, you cant really make it any more of a mess" i laughed, standing up to leave.
"don't even mention it or i'll have to come over and clean it" amelia groaned being the clean freak she is. i've never known someone to be so obsessed with keeping everything clean and organised
me and noah left, heading to my apartment to get anything i would need for our weekend away. i smiled thinking about how my life is actually starting to come together. yes i know, i still have everything going on with jack; everything is awkward and it's kinda hard to be around each other, but there's everything else. i have friends who actually care about me and can make me laugh. i live somewhere safe where every corner doesn't remind me of my past. i have my brother back in my life
"what's making you smile?" noah asked, bringing me out of me daze of happiness
"i'm just thinking" i replied
"about?"
"everything, really. i'm glad you're here for m my birthday" i smiled. it was true; noah hadn't been there for my birthday in three years. i'm not mad about it, he had to leave so i don't blame him. but now he is back
"yes, and my existence is the only birthday present you need" he smirked and i lightly punched him
"excuse me, you should have bought me the best gift in the world" i laughed, unlocking the door to my flat and walking in
"i'm impressed, other than the giant mess everywhere you've decorated pretty well" he complimented
"thanks, it's not like when i was six and painted half of your wall pink" i giggled, remembering how much trouble id gotten into for adding some nice pink 'stripes' to noah's bedroom
"if i'm honest, i preferred that to any way i've ever decorated my room" he chuckled, laying on the sofa to make himself at home
"if you want anything just search the cupboards, i'm sure there'll be something somewhere" i giggled and went to my room to pack. now, how the hell do you pack
