Jade Harley Birthday Novels & Stories

"How are you?" "Terrible!" Jade exclaimed, holding her head in her hands and rolling on the bed. "I do not have a phone and it's so frustrating." "You haven't spoken to Bellamy, right?" Aunt Amber's attention was undivided and was given only to my baby sister. "Bellamy?" Jade sat up then laughed the kind that you'd know the person was probably hurting from inside. "We're no longer together. He used me as a bet and that's it. I'm with Tristan now."

Rein was avoiding my eye somehow, which was quite strange but I wouldn’t look any further to avoid the suspicious looks, Erica and Mrs. Jackson could give me. I dug in straight into the appealing scrambled eggs before me. “You know, Layla's birthday is in about two weeks. The 12th precisely and I want her to have the best birthday ever. My baby will soon be turning 20 and it will be cool to celebrate her in a grand style.” Mrs. Jackson said with enthusiasm and I remembered that Erica's and i's birthday will also be upcoming, very soon.

There was still Neve and Ethan left to deal with. Helma sighed lightly. She was sure that Michelle Lambert was Neve Scott, but there was no evidence. She had to take it slow. Today was June 6th, Helma’s birthday. The Kings had been preparing for this half a month ago. Jade booked a classic chateau in Greenville as the venue. This year was Helma's twenty-fifth birthday, signifying half a lifetime, so the party needed to be grand. At eight o'clock in the morning, Helma arrived at the castle grounds.

We went to Hawaii this year for our company retreat and yes that creed packed all of the Hawaii into me—on the beach, on the balcony, even once in a hammock (which we broke and had to pay for… sorry, Sheraton). Every day with him made me think of why I stayed, why I came home, why I started this new journey. Not that everything was okay, but because it was my own. Lily's daughter, Harmony Daisy Reyes—yes, that is actually her government name—was turning one year old in two weeks, and I was pulling out all the stops for her surprise birthday party. Of course, Lily had no idea. Which, for anyone who knows Lily, is saying something. She always does know everything.

I could hear Damon upstairs as he spoke on his phone but I couldn’t make out the words but I thought I heard my name once or twice. “I love it Finley, never stop writing,” Harley said as she finished the last chapter. “You know I’d never stop, I’d probably die in front of my computer,” I said to her. “Then Mimi can call the Italians,” she said and I laughed. “The Italians are expensive, so I’ll have to die month end,” I said to her. “So what are the plans for your birthday?” she asked me. It was now Wednesday and my birthday was on Saturday. Normally we’d go out or have a house party and drink and dance and just go crazy. I wondered how Damon would feel about the drinking part.

she managed to say, sitting down. “Happy birthday, cougar! Are you doing anything on your day?” “Thanks, Jay! It’s Thursday, so I have to go to work. How are you?” “Fine, fine! We’re going out for dinner, but I wanted to be the first to congratulate you on your aging. Thirty-five! Dude, it only happens once, right?” “Thank God!” “When are you throwing your party?” “After New Year, as always. Go now, and thanks for calling!”

Yes, I know that doesn’t mean he’s happy, but based on the grumpy looks I’ve received since I started this quest, I can tell this is a happy one. I dressed for the occasion. I have a party to attend tonight. Jade and Chiara were invited to celebrate Chelly’s birthday. It’s not really her birthday, but she’ll throw a party for anything. I’m coming as their plus one. I didn’t even think about it. I know what I want to do.

‘Well, I don’t mind if you land in my bed instead,’ she giggles. ‘Hailey, I think you’ve drunk too much. Let’s get you home,’ I say, trying and failing to lift her off my lap. ‘Fine!’ She pouts. ‘But we have to come out again for our birthdays, next weekend,’ she slurs. ‘Your birthdays?’ Ace asks. ‘Yeah. I’m twenty on Friday, and Hailey’s twenty-one on Saturday,’ I explain. I loop my arm through Hailey’s and we leave La Nova tipsy. Ace pulls out his phone to tell his driver we’re ready.

There was a giant three-layer cake on the table. The bright candlelight swayed in the wind, like the stars shining in the night sky. "Happy birthday," a gentle voice said from behind. Today was her birthday? Shocked, Hazel looked at the calendar hanging on the wall. It was June 12th. 'Oh my God! It really was my birthday,' thought she. She even forgot it herself, and she didn't expect that he would remember it!

Adira finished and Valerie only dropped her hands in shock. “What?” She asked quietly and when Adira hadn’t said a word, she screamed. “It was those humans, they killed her, they shot her, her birthday was coming up and I was getting ready.” Adira said and Valerie’s tears fell, she was waiting for Jade to come back home so they could discuss her birthday and what she wanted, Jade never came home. Dejected Valerie walked up to her room with the thought of Jade her innocence, her sweet smile and her beautiful baby face. Valerie cried herself to sleep and had reluctantly gone to school the next day.
