Fighter 88

CHAPTER 88

I knew the guys didn't really understand what I was trying to say. But the truth was, I had never

had a birthday cake before. I'd never had balloons, I'd never had presents. No one ever celebrated my birthday.

Evelyn never gave a s**t and Wesley was never there. He didn't even call me or send me a card on my birthday. It was just the same old monthly check that I got. It was nothing special. And I wasn't even getting that until I turned 13. "You mean, you've never had anything as special as this?" Koda asked.

"No. I mean, a cake, and presents and balloons." I said.

They all looked at each other with a bit of shock on their faces and then it changed to a little

bit of anger.

"Well, that's never going to happen again. Not while you're with us." Dean said.

I hugged and kissed them all for what they had done for me.

It's more than anyone else has ever done and they really went out of their way to make sure

that it would be something that I liked.

So we all had dinner first and then we had cake.

After that I opened the presents that they got me.

They got so many presents that it was unbelievable.

There was jewelry, clothes and bags. Everything a girl would want. And I was going to actually

put these things to good use. Even if I didn't before. I was definitely going to now.

I got so much jewelry that they ended up buying me a jewelry box as well to keep it all in.

It really was the perfect birthday.

And I couldn't stay mad at Tyler and Dean after that.

So when I suggested the hot tub again, they were more than willing.

We had another late and exhausting night that night before we finally got some sleep.

But when I woke up the next morning, I just laid there staring at the ceiling.

"What's wrong?" Tyler asked, rolling over to face me.

"I was just thinking." I said.
