"Happy birthday! Happy birthday! Happy birthday!" Claire shouts jumping on her sisters bed. Caroline instantly wakes and is slightly disoriented. Before she knows it, Caroline is giggling as she rolls on the bed due to Claire's insistent jumping.
"Claire!" Caroline shouts laughing. Claire grins and falls to her knees. The then lays on her back besides Caroline. The twins smile widely as they look at each other.
"Happy birthday." Claire muttered. Caroline smiles at her.
"Happy birthday" Caroline whispers back. Caroline holds her sisters gaze for only a moment longer before looking up at the ceiling. Her smile fades.
"What's wrong Care-bear?" Claire whispers. Caroline doesn't answer right away. Claire frowns and shifts so her head is resting on her sisters stomach. Caroline slowly begins to play with her sisters hair, just like they used to do when they were little.
"So much has happened since we turned 17." Caroline mutters. Claire sighs silently agreeing with her sister. "Technically I'm still 17" She grumbles sadly. "I don't even like being 17. The only point of being 17 is to get to 18. It's a filler year, I'm stuck in a filler year" Caroline snipped climbing out of bed. Claire's head falls on the mattress. "We used to have everything in common and now you're living your life, you're moving on without me. You get to be 18 and you get to grow and..."
"Care" Claire sighs climbing out of her bed. She walks over to her slightly fanatic sister. "I'm always going to be the little sister" She whispers hugging Caroline tightly. "I don't want to be the older sister, that's so much work." Caroline rolls her eyes. "And you're always going to be the taller sister too, I stopped growing in like.. 8th grade." Claire rubs Caroline's back. "We still have things in common Care-bear. I could never move on without you... You're my twin sister, I don't want to know of a world without your beautiful smile in it."
"I love you, Baby" Caroline whispers. Claire smiles and hugs her tightly.
"I love you too, Care-bear." Claire whispers back. "Hey, today is supposed to be amazing" She said pulling away. She wiped Caroline's tears away. "Today is the best day of the year, it's our day."
"I don't want to go to school today" Caroline muttered. Claire shrugs.
"I'm fine with that" Caroline smiles gently. "But I'm not going to stay inside and have you sad and depressing, not today. Today we're going to celebrate all the good that's happened in the past year."
"Probably count all of that on one hand" Caroline grumbles.
"You became an aunt to an amazing baby girl" Claire said holding up one finger. "You became a badass vampire." She holds up another finger. "You've grown as a person. You don't let people walk over you. You stand up for not only yourself but for me, for Madelyn and for our family. You don't let anybody use you." She holds up a third finger. "You've improved your relationship with our mother. You two are on much better terms than you were a year ago." She holds up a forth finger. "You've been an amazing, supportive sister. You've saved your little sisters life more times than you can possibly imagine." Caroline smiles at Claire, tears starting to cover both of their eyes as Claire holds up her fifth finger or thumb as most people call them. "And lets not forget all the fantastic parties and get together's you've planned. Would you like me to continue?" She asked holding up six fingers.
