"Happy Birthday, Max!" Nudge and Angel screamed jumping up and down on my bed together in sync.

I pulled them close to me for a hug and kissed them on their forehead.

They both giggled as they ran out of my room in a dash.

I dragged my butt out of bed, wipping sleep from my eyes as I went into the kitchen to get a bowl of cereal.

Tonight, I thought to myself, Tonight I'm gonna tell them. No backing out anymore, Max."

Dr M placed a cake out in front of me with a large 18 written in the middle with icying.

Nudge, ANgel and Dr M started sining happy birthday to me. The song ended and Dr M smiled sweetly at me, "Go ahead, honey, make a wish."

I thought for a second then smiled and blew out the candle, the smoke making swirls and curves in the air.

My wish . . . well, I can't tell you, or else it might not come true.

I stared blankly at my slice of cake and aimlessly picked at it with my fork. I pushed away from my cake and looked up at my family.

Dr M, well, she wasn't exactly my mom. She was my adopted mom, and she was probably the best person I knew in this whole freaking world.

Then there was Nudge - still so young, only 11 years old and she already had the beauty of a model, with her dark chocolate complextion, long lashes, big eyes and full lips. Wow, she was gonna be a looker when she grew into her natural beauty. I could already see that.

And lastly, Angel, my baby. Okay, not really my baby but my adopted sister as well. She was only 6 years old. And, well, her name pretty much says it all for her. She was just so cute and sweet.

And just to think, I was about to leave them all . . .

I took in a deep breath, "Hey guys," I said and they all looked up at me with warm loving smiles, "I . . . I have something to tell you."

"Go ahead, tell us," Nudge urged me.

Angle looked up at me with her excited blue eyes, "What?! Is it something cool?" She beamed up at me.

"I . . . I've made a desision." I gulped down hard. This was it, Max, no going back. "Ive decided to join the military and fight in Afganastan."

Hmm . . . lets just say that they're reactions were a little less excited than I'd hoped for.
