Birthday Blackout Novels & Stories

It was Rachel’s 28th birthday and she was having the time of her life with her girlfriends who had organized a surprise birthday party for her at The Black Hat. It was a popular nightclub in town which she’d been looking forward to visiting but had never had the opportunity to, so she was delighted to find out that it was the venue of her party. She hadn’t planned anything special for herself for the day, and that was why this unexpected gettogether brought happy tears to her eyes.

" Billy muttered as the customers stared at her. She walked over to the counter and washed her hands in the sink after she had placed the tickets on the counter. "That was brave of you, I would not have done that for a million bucks" Hazel spoke as she scoffed. "Easy for you to say" Billy picked one of the tickets and read through it. "Halloween show by 9 PM? Come with your favorite Halloween costume and a partner!" He laughed and turned the back of the ticket. "But, are the skulls on the ticket necessary?"

Zak teases and Devin groans again. “Speaking of,” Brandon turns to look at me, “I got back just in time for my Luna’s birthday.” I look at him confused. “What?” “Your birthday’s tomorrow. It’s New Year’s Eve,” he says in a matter-of-fact tone. “Oh, shit! I totally lost track of the days!” I say, completely surprised. “There’s kind of been a lot of shit going on. “We didn’t forget,” Zak says, a meaningful smirk on his face. “After the Alpha Council meeting, your parents are taking the pups for the night. We’ve got plans for you.”

I asked him to leave. " No, please talk to me, it's been so many days of our nice conversation," He murmured and I diverted my gaze from his face to some place. " I don't want to talk to you. We have nothing to talk about," I answered. " Who said we have nothing to talk about? Remember I have once told you that we have so many things to discuss but we just ignored them, tonight let's not ignore this. Tonight let's exchange some words because it's my birthday. We know we shouldn't slide away a birthday person's wish," he is trying to blackmail me by calling himself birthday boy, birthday boy.

“I need to rest and I would have appreciated your efforts more if everything is all coloured black instead “ I said, raising my head to look around the mansion which was already filled up with Scarlett's friends ,Silvermoon Pack members, family acquaintances and elders of the Silvermoon Pack. “Black is a boring colour , it will feel like a funeral” said Beta Kim coming to stand in front of me holding a small gift box containing a bottle of champagne “You guys should have fun, I will be in my room resting” I said because I am truly tired, heartbroken and not interested in a fucking sillly birthday party. “At Least accept my gift “ said Beta Kim with a sultry voice , her dress was so transpare

Scarlett replied with a nonchalant shrug as Zach and Alessia nodded Kayden walked over to us then with his signature smirk "Happy birthday, sis!" I giggled and pulled him in for a brief, warm hug "Thank you but I hope you guys realize that it's not midnight yet so it technically isn't my birthday" Kayden shrugged after he and I pulled away from the hug "Who cares? There's only like 30 minutes left until midnight anyway" Zach placed his arms on my shoulders and I looked up at him "I hate to pull you away from your own party but it's time for your other birthday surprise"

I muttered, adjusting the crooked paper crown on the cupcake stand. Rain flopped onto the couch beside me, arms full of glittery streamers. “Okay, technically, they turned three during the great forest fire incident slash shadow beast thing, so we get like a fifty percent parenting pass.” “That’s not a real thing.” “It should be. Emergency-induced birthday amnesty.” I gave him a look. “We didn’t even get them a cake, Rain.” He winced. “Yeah, that part still stings. I did offer them emergency granola bars.”

I replied with a hint of sadness in my voice “Today was the boys’ birthday?” “Oh my God really. It completely escaped my mind” Wow. He forgot “Wish them a happy birthday on their behalf. I'll send them a gift okay?” *Jacob, whe…when is my birthday? Do you still remember?” “Uhhh..Hazel it's really foggy. Uhmm November 24th?” “Jacob?” I called him tears almost escaping from my eyes “ You forgot, it's August 2nd” Maybe I'm just bad with men in general

He knew it was tomorrow, so he engrossed himself in work to forget about it and not even think of it for a second. “And I know it’s also your birthday, so can I get a cake and…” “Stop!!” Coyle roared angrily when he heard her mention his birthday; he could guess she already had plans of celebrating it or maybe throwing a party, and he didn't want that. “Don’t think of that; tomorrow is my parents' death anniversary, and we will go to the cemetery and the reception. That’s all about that day, understood?” He questioned, and Hazel was surprised to see the angry look he had while saying this. Did he hate his birthday?

I was finally alone in this world. They wouldn't let me attend Mom's funeral. They wouldn't even let me visit her grave, so all I could do was kneel on the path we used to walk together, silently pleading for her forgiveness. I didn't dare to cry. I didn't deserve to. Because the hard truth was, I hadn't been able to save her. After the funeral, Carly came to visit me. She pulled me into a hug, her eyes glistening with tears, and whispered, "Thank you, Lina. Thank you for not ruining my life. The fire is over now, so never bring it up around Dad and Jacob again.
