Big 18

Chapter 3

It was my birthday , the one day that I loved so much .

Finally my 18th birthday, one more year, I was finally an adult , the excitement I had in me was more than I could comprehend .

Remembering the fact that I was going to spend this day alone made me feel weird , my mom never celebrated my birthdays and my late dad has no family so I am totally alone on this .

My mom and I haven't had any conversation since the last one she told me .

I was still hurting from the fact that my mom could say that to my face .

I know she hated me after dad died but never thought that he could hate me this much .

“ Happy birthday bunny “ I heard Sophia say behind me, she was just coming to class .

The miles this girl will go for me just to make sure that I was comfortable , I could never imagine .

I nodded and hugged her. She was the best thing to ever happen to me . Since the day I stepped foot into this school , I just wonder what I would have done if she wasn’t in the picture. Living without her was going to be more crazy than I thought it would be .

Class ended that day and to the best of it , I never had any issue with anyone and not even my step brothers disturbed me today .

There wasn’t any game after school so I knew it was best that I went home .

I wanted to spend the day alone , the last thing my mom was going to do was host a party for me .

I had never celebrated my birthday since the day I lost my dad , my mom told me to my face that I didn’t deserve to celebrate it and I think she’s right .

When I finally got home I noticed that mom's car and my step siblings' car was parked right outside the house .

As I got in , the least thing that I expected was there, my mother standing in front of me with a big cake and beside her were my step brothers expect Nate .

“ Happy birthday darling “

I didn’t know if I should smile or not , the last conversation we had was nothing like I expected and then she was here faking a smile in front of everyone , I could tell .

I put on a fake smile and blew out the candles .

“ Thank you mom , and thank you Chase and Ryder .

They both nodded but not hiding the Unpleasant look that they had on their faces .

“ I think we have to talk “

“ There's nothing to talk about darling , I will say that you go in there , get dressed and come out for the party that I had organized for you .

Party ?”

The word struck a chord in my heart , I had always wanted a party and it’s so hard to believe that I am getting an ultimate party for my 18th birthday .

“ Thank you mom “ I screamed as I jumped on her and hugged her tightly , mom stayed for a while and then pulled away .

“ Go get dressed .

I nodded and walked away as I watched my step brother walk out .

She looks kind of pretty today. I heard the words in my head as I walked towards the elevator . I turned immediately to notice that no one was behind me , but that was Chase's voice and he was going out. How could I hear his voice?

As I was about to enter the elevator , the first thing that I noticed was someone watching me .

I raised up my head and my eyes ran into his , it was Nate .

I couldn’t remember the last time that I had seen Nate at home and seeing him here wasn’t what I expected .

Nate's face didn't change a bit , it was straight without any emotions in them which made it so hard for me to read him .

I couldn’t tell if he was happy , sad or angry , there was just something about him that I could never notice .

He walked away after staring at me for a while .

I didn’t bother about him , the only thing I wanted to do right now was have the best birthday of my life .

As I was about to enter my room , the door immediately slammed hard against my hand earning a hard scream from my mouth .

My fingers were broken , I didn’t know if I was cursed , why did I have to get hurt on my big day .

I pulled my hands up weakly and to my greatest surprise , the hands instantly went back to normal .

Shocked , that was exactly how I felt at that moment , it was just like I was hallucinating. Just a few minutes ago , I was hurt and my fingers were broken but here I was like it never happened .

The more I thought about it , the crazier it was for me .

I couldn’t understand what had just happened no matter how much I tried to understand it , it just felt so blank .

As I opened the door again , I felt like someone was watching me again and when I turned , it was true , Nate was standing just opposite me staring directly at my hands .

My hands suddenly trembled as I pushed the door open. I couldn’t understand what was happening. From what I could remember , he was inside , there was no way he would be standing here , how did he get here ?.

Nate was actually the craziest and most handsome person that I had ever met .

He was cold and not just to me but everyone but I will say that He acted worse with me .

He hated me and didn’t want to see me and had made that clear a couple of times but why he was watching me.

I ignored his stare and got into my room and immediately shut the door .

I let out a sigh of relief , today has got to be the weirdest day of my life , from my smell and hearings getting a billion times better to my hands miraculously healing up .

Today couldn’t get any better .
